The Rescuer's MC Bk 4

Chapter 6- Stephanie wakes up

As soon as Digger got back in the house, which smelled really good, he ran straight to his room to find Ivan still standing outside his door.

"She still asleep?" Digger asked as he dug in his pocket for his keys.

"I think so. I heard some whimpering a little while ago but she never came to the door." Ivan reported. "Do you need me to stick around? I'd like to go get some dinner. I'm hungry."

"Nah, go ahead. I'm hungry too but I'll wait to see if she wakes up soon. I bet she'll be hungry too." Digger said. "Go on and eat but if we don't come down by the time you are done, come back and check if I need something brought up or someone to watch her while I go eat, please."

"Sure, Digger. No problem." Ivan said and took off down the hall.

Digger let himself into his bedroom and found Stephanie just pushing herself upright.

"Hi! Feeling better now?" he asked as he walked over to her.

"A little. How long was I out?" Stephanie asked.

"All afternoon. Are you hungry?" Digger asked as he sat down on the bed next to her.

"What? I slept the whole rest of the day? I never sleep during the day. And yes, I am hungry. Where am I, by the way? And how did I get here?" Stephanie asked, looking around the room as she woke up and things started to come back to her. "The last thing I remember is you driving like the devil was after us and I was afraid I was going to piss myself."

"Well, lots has happened but how about we get cleaned up and go get something to eat first and then I'll tell you all about it. Okay?" Digger said. He could tell that she wasn't fully awake yet but she looked so adorable with the pillow crease on her cheek and her hair all mussed up.

Stephanie stumbled into the bathroom and as soon as she stepped inside, she was duly impressed. This looked like one of the bathrooms at the high end hotel where a co-worker had gotten married a couple of years ago. She quickly emptied her bladder and went to wash her hands and after she splashed some water on her face to help her wake up, she looked up in the mirror and saw how she looked. "Oh my God! Look at my hair! I'll never get all of these tangles out." She thought, trying to get her fingers through her hair but it was no use. She needed her brush.

She cracked open the door and called out to Digger. "Digger, where's my purse, please? I need my brush."

Digger grabbed her purse off of the floor where he had dropped it when he had laid her on the bed earlier. "Can you let me in there while you brush your hair? I need to use the can." Digger asked and she opened the door wider as she said "Okay, but don't look. My hair looks awful."

"No it doesn't. You look beautiful all the time to me, and I like the "just woke up look". Digger teased.

Stephanie giggled and said "Liar." but reached up on her toes to kiss his cheek, "But thank you!"

"Not lying." He said and kissed her back then went to use the restroom.

Stephanie managed to get most of the tangles out by the time he came back out of the bathroom, all washed up and ready for dinner now.

She finally gave her hair a couple of more strokes then gave up. "I'll need some detangling cream rinse to get the rest out. It hurts to pull those fine hairs around the base of my neck and to keep dry brushing it causes the hair to break." She claimed as she returned her brush to her purse. She pulled her shoes back on. "Is this my room? It's really nice."

"It can be but right now, it's my room. I'd like for you to stay here with me. Please?" Digger said.

"Digger, I really like you but I don't think we know each other well enough to sleep together yet. If I'm going to give myself to a man, I always promised myself that it had to be for more than just a night of tangling the sheets." She said honestly, praying that she would not have to be blunt to tell him that she was a virgin.
