I woke first.
Danny was laying flat on his back, and I was tucked into his side with my head on his shoulder. His chest rose and fell in even breaths which told me he was still asleep.
I craned my neck upward so I could look at his face. His lips were parted with a slight gap and I yearned to wake him with a kiss.
Sleep, Mi Vida.
He deserved it.
Taking care to not disturb him, I shifted the other way and found Rojo on the other side of me. He was taking up most of the bed.
We're going to need a bigger bed if this keeps up, I mused.
Who was I kidding? Even in a king-sized bed, Rojo would still find a way to take up most of the space.
I leaned over him and grabbed my phone.
It was eight-thirty in the morning, which meant I'd have to wake Danny in half an hour to get the car back to Sleazy Harvey. I wished I could leave Danny to rest and take care of the drop-off, but I didn't know Harvey and didn't have permission to drive his car.
Also, if I returned it without Danny, he'd take that as some sign he could be a perv.
When I unlocked my phone, I saw I had three text messages from Ashley-Claire, two of which were from this morning.
Ashley-Claire: Hi. How'd it go today?
Ashley-Claire: Did he stay the night??
Ashley-Claire: I'M DYING BABE TEXT ME BACK
I suppressed a snort and then carefully rolled back toward Danny. I flipped the camera to selfie mode and snapped a picture of us.
He looked so adorable sleeping while I smirked at the camera.
I sent Ashley-Claire the photo and she replied instantly.
Ashley-Claire: OMG. OMG OMG OMG OMG
Maria: ;-)
Ashley-Claire: DID YOU HAVE SEX TELL ME RIGHT NOW
Maria: lol! No, we didn't
Ashley-Claire: Wait really?
Maria: Yeah. It's okay though. Yesterday was...well, an emotional rollercoaster. It ended with him telling me everything that happened to him. And yeah...it was a lot, Ash
Ashley-Claire: What we thought?
Maria: That and add a heaping dose of other shit. We were both emotionally exhausted by the end of the conversation. There was lots of kissing but we both decided no sex last night. It was the right choice
Ashley-Claire: Hmmm. Okay. You'll have to fill me in some time if you can
Maria: Yeah. I will
My heart still ached from everything Danny told me. It would be good to process with someone who knew us.
My phone buzzed again.
Ashley-Claire: Soooo morning sex, then?
Maria: Omg!
Ashley-Claire: What?! You're already in the bed, Maria
Maria: :-P No, no sex this morning. He borrowed his teammate's car yesterday and we need to return it. I'm going to have to wake him up soon
Ashley-Claire: Afternoon sex?
Maria: Maybe? We'll see. By the way, you're up waaaay earlier than I would've expected
Ashley-Claire: :D
A photo came through of a lovely woman sitting across the table from Ashley-Claire.
Maria: Is that the girl from Philly??
Ashley-Claire: uh-huh. Her name is Saarya :D.
Maria: She is soooo pretty
Ashley-Claire: She is. She's also good with her mouth :P
Maria: oh god, Ash
Ashley-Claire: ;)
Maria: I take it things are going well?
Ashley-Claire: Yeah. I think we're gonna spend the day together

RomanceMy heart jumped. Oh god, I thought. Please, kiss me. Please. Danny was too far away from me to do that. And even if we were closer, he wouldn't have. Rojo pawed at Danny's jeans. He wound up and threw the ball again. "You'd think this dog has no...
