The next couple of days that Evan was home, they fell into a nice routine of back porch breaks filled with cider, light lunch and talks of their childhood memories.
It was those moments that she saw Evan fully relaxed and his eyes light up with happiness. It didn’t take her a lot to figure out that he had a close relationship with his mother. Very different from what she’d been seeing between him and his dad. Something she thought a shame since it was only the two of them left.
At night, after the older Mr. Douglas went to sleep, they would pick a movie to watch on television however they kept a distance, her on the couch Evan in a recliner. It was as if they mutually decided that keeping as little contact between them was best especially since their attraction was growing stronger.
There were many times she’d glance over her shoulder or across the room and find him staring at her, heat in his eyes. When he finally let out for his next days of flight, she breathed a sigh of relief as she counted the nights until their date.
The days he was away, he’d call twice, once in the afternoon to talk to his dad, which always ended quicker than she thought it should. The men barely completed more than three sentences with each other. However, late at night after his last flight, Evan would call her cell phone. She’d lay on her bed in the guest room and continue their conversation about life experiences. They had mutually decided to steer clear of past relationship talk and she was glad.
Chapter seven
Applause erupted through the plane on Sunday night, just before midnight as he taxied into the Charlotte airport. They’d caught the tail end of a storm as it left the city headed northeast causing a bumpy ride, but he’d still been able to keep the Boeing under control for a smooth landing.
He was tired and all he wanted to do was to crash in bed and sleep until he was able to see Zoey. The time away from her had made him yearn for her even more. Their nightly calls sparked his desire as he lay in a different hotel room each time listening to the sweet timbre of her voice. Frequently he went to sleep after talking with her imagining how she would sound moaning in his ear as he was buried deep inside of her.
Shit he needed to get himself together, he thought as he moved through the airport towards the employee parking.
The way his body was on edge now, it would take Hulk to keep him from dragging her off to the nearest flat surface and having his way with her. That amazed him, he’d never wanted a woman who he’d only kissed once and spoke to about mundane things, as much as he yearned for Zoey. It both scared and excited him.
Behind the wheel of his car, he pulled out his cell phone and sent her a text.
Sorry to wake you. Just wanted to let you know I’m home.
Wasn’t asleep yet. Glad to know. I will see you tomorrow. Can’t wait.
He read her message and smiled. He tapped down the urge to call her since he knew she was up, but that would show too much impatience. Instead he dropped his cell into the cup holder and started his engine.
The thought that floated through his mind as he drive out of the lot was how good it felt to have someone care that he’d arrived safely. It was a new experience for him, one he admitted to himself that he liked. Very much.

On Monday, Zoey awakened with a big grin on her face. The day was going to be wonderful and the night even better. She could hardly wait to see Evan and go out on their date. After a quick shower, breakfast and pulling on jeans and a sweater she headed out the door of her apartment. She treated herself to a manicure and pedicure and went out shopping for a new dress. The holiday shoppers had packed the malls, but she’d been able to snag a perfect dress in her size without losing an eye or limb. Next week she would have to start her own
