Grace
I had one more week before I began my ti at PBC, which ant I had one more week to see Flea every day. After that... it was going to be a crap shoot.
This morning, though, would be the first ti I’d seen him in two days, and I knew we were going to be way too busy for any ti together. Hatch was still being "detained," and his brothers were finishing up a big construction project, so we were short-handed... again.
I saw Flea’s bike as I drove into the parking lot and smiled. He’d beat here. Maybe we would have a few minutes to reconnect.
I parked next to his bike and then headed inside. "Flea?" I called.
"Back here," he called, and I followed the sound of his voice to the parts room. Pushing open the door, I gasped. He’d pulled a folding table into the room and covered it with a tablecloth. In the middle of the table was a vase with a single rose, along with bagels, cream cheese, and the coffee pot from the kitchen filled with glorious fresh wake-up juice.
"What did you do?" I asked, setting my bag on the floor.
He slid his arms around my waist and leaned down to kiss . "Figured we wouldn’t have a lot of ti over the next week, so want to make mornings a priority."
"You’re kind of perfect, you know that?" I asked, looping my arms around his neck.
"It’s not all altruistic," he said. "Miss you, Grace. Miss having my cock inside your pussy."
I giggled. "So romantic."
"It’s been almost a week."
"And whose fault is that?" I challenged, running my hands through his hair. God, I loved his hair.
"How’s your grandmother?"
"She’s actually really good. She’s up more and more, moving around on her own. The doctor’s really happy with her progress."
"Good." He kissed again. "Kate wants us over for dinner on Sunday. You think Finch or your dad can stay with your Grams?"
"Probably."
"Wanna stay at my place Sunday night?"
"I start the ballet on Monday."
"I’m aware."
"Do you think that’s a good idea?" I asked.
He smiled. "Plan to get you ho early enough to fuck you into oblivion. You’ll be well-rested, so, yeah, I think it’s a great idea."
I shivered, closing my eyes. "How early?"
"Early," he whispered, then his mouth was on mine and I was holding on for dear life. Way too soon for my liking, he broke the kiss and dropped his forehead to mine. "Fuck."
"Do we have to wait until Sunday?" I whispered.
"No. I’ll figure sothing else out this week, just want you in my bed Sunday night."
"Okay." I kissed him once more, then broke our connection to grab so food.
"Hey," he complained, pulling back to him. "I wasn’t finished."
I giggled. "I’m starving."
His hand slid up my shirt and tugged down my bra, cupping a breast. " too."
"We’re opening the store in less than fifteen minutes, honey. We don’t have ti."
He kissed my neck, running his thumb over my nipple. "We’ll make ti."
"Flea!" Train bellowed. "Where you at?"
"Asshole," he hissed, fixing my clothes. "You good?"
I nodded, and he kissed once more, then walked out of the room. I grabbed a bagel and coffee before heading to the staff room.
By the ti lunch ti rolled around, I was dead on my feet. I hadn’t been able to sit down for the past two hours, and I knew the rest of the day was going to be worse.
"Lunch, baby," Flea said, walking in from the back.
"Do we have ti?" I asked, distractedly as I entered numbers into the computer.
"We’re gonna make ti. You need to eat."
I continued to enter parts numbers into our database. "I can just grab another bagel."
His arms ca around and he lifted my hands off the keyboard, kissing the back of my neck. "Protein, honey."
I sighed. "Cream cheese has protein."
He chuckled. "Co on. Train’s gonna watch the front."
I saved my work, then logged out and followed Flea out the door. He held his hand out to and I took it as we walked to the Chinese restaurant.
Despite the busyness of the restaurant, we were seated almost imdiately, and it hit that we wouldn’t be able to do this again. I an, after this week, anyway.
"Hey."
I t Flea’s eyes and forced a smile. "Hey."
"What’s wrong?"
"Nothing’s wrong. I’m just a little sad."
He slid his hand across the table and turned it, palm up.
I laid mine over his. "I don’t want to leave."
"I don’t want you to leave either." He smiled. "But you’re getting a chance to follow your dream. Nothing better than that."
"I just wasn’t expecting to miss you," I admitted.
"It’s not like you’re leaving town, Grace."
"I know, but I’m going to be slamd. At least here I can see you every day."
"We’re gonna make ti, honey." He squeezed my hand.
"We better, or I’m gonna be really pissed at us."
He chuckled. " too."
"I have two classes this week, but I was able to schedule one on Wednesday."
"With Cass?"
I shook my head. "No, one of the principals teaches a few nights a week."
"Good way to network."
I shrugged. "That’s what I’m hoping."
"Let know the address and I’ll pick you up."
"It’ll probably be all over before church is over."
"I’ll make it work."
I smiled. "Sounds good."
Finishing our lunch, we headed back to work, then said goodbye at my car since I had to get ho and change before my class with Cassidy. Hopefully, we’d see each other tomorrow night, but I wasn’t holding my breath.
