“Better hurry before the hot water is gone.” My confidence is gone and I am quite aware of how naked and exposed I am, but it doesn’t look like he’ll leave me any water, so I sigh and enter the shower. Last night I didn’t really pay attention, but now I can appreciate how big the shower is. The two shower heads are set to the rain setting, spraying fat streams of water onto the tile floor. Leland is busy washing under one shower head leaving the other one for me to use. I steal the shower gel from him and enjoy his scent as I scrub my body with it. After my body is taken care of, I move to grab the shampoo, but Leland stops me.
“Here, I’ll do that.” He turns me around and begins massaging shampoo into the length of my hair and scalp, it feels amazing. He helps me rinse the suds out of my hair, and while my eyes are closed, steals another kiss before abruptly reaching around me and turning off the water. Stepping out of the steam, I grab a towel and then it hits me, I have nothing to wear. As if sensing my discomfort, “Carter should be here in a few minutes with some clothes for you; I called him while the shower was heating up.” So that’s who he was talking to. “What are your plans today?”
“I need to finish up the research I started yesterday. What else do you need me to do?” He smiles at some unspoken thought.
“Take the day off.” Without waiting for a response he walks out of the room. When I walk into the bedroom Leland is nowhere to be seen. I slip the robe back on and make my way downstairs to find Carter and Leland talking quietly over breakfast; when they see me they change the topic.
“Good morning Carter, what outfit did you pick out for me today?” I decide to overlook the suspicious behavior, for now. His eyes sparkle as he gets up and hands me a garment bag. I take the bag back upstairs and head into the closet to hang it up. Opening it, I find the softest pair of mint colored jeans, and white quarter sleeve button up shirt, brown belt, brown sandals, purse, watch, sunglasses and earrings. He even included a sexy bra and panty set. Taking each item out, I get dressed enjoying the feel of the quality fabrics. Slipping the earrings on, I take a look in the full length mirror on the back of the door. Damn. The outfit makes me look very put together, something I’m never able to accomplish on my own, despite Sage’s best efforts to teach me. Pulling my hair into a high ponytail, I head back downstairs for breakfast. Carter is gone when I return, leaving Leland alone reading the newspaper at the bar. Sitting down, I am at a loss for what to talk about.
“I have to go into work for an early meeting, enjoy your breakfast.” He stands up and kisses me on the head and leaves. I’m finishing my breakfast when my phone rings; it’s Sage.
“Hey girly, what’s up?” I know something has been bothering Sage lately, but I’m trying not to pry until she’s ready to tell me what it is.
“Hey girl, do you think you could stop by the bakery sometime today?” She’s trying to cover up the worry in her voice.
“How about I head over and help you today, Leland gave me the day off.”
“Sounds great, I could definitely use the help.” She sounds a little happier. I’ve helped her out before when she’s had a large order and I could use the distraction to keep me from analyzing the situation with Leland. Plus, I miss Sage and I’m hoping she’s finally ready to tell me what is wrong.
Chapter 19
It’s eight o’clock when I get to the bakery, two hours before it opens. Sage has been here since five, and opens the door wearing a cupcake patterned apron covered in flour.
“You’re a sight for sore eyes, the new worker I hired didn’t work out, and I have an order due at nine.” Pulling me quickly in the door she locks it behind me and leads the way to the kitchen. Sage can’t stand working in silence, says it gives her too much time to think, so she cranks up
