me his mother had passed away a long time ago. “You’re right.” I felt bad for saying what I had. “What was your mother like?” I asked.
He smiled while watching the road. “She was very sweet and giving. She was beautiful. She gave up so much for me. I wish I had told her thank you more often,” he said sadly.
I reached over and rubbed his arm. “I am sure she knew, Osric.” I wanted so badly to ask how she died, but I couldn’t.
Chapter 14
We watched the snow come down along the truck as we drove. “So, you have this huge red truck, I am guessing you like the color red?” I laughed.
“Actually, this truck just had everything I was wanting, and it just happened to be red,” he stated.
“So what if this truck just happened to be pink? Would you still have bought it?”
“They don’t make pink trucks—but, no, pink isn’t my color.” He smirked.
I snickered at him. “So what is your color?”
“I would say blue.”
As he said that, I noticed I had my blue sweater on. “Blue is my favorite color,” I told him.
“I noticed.” He was looking at my sweater. “Blue looks good on you,” he said.
“Thank you.” I was blushing.
We were getting closer to home, but traffic was slowing down and you could barely see out of the windshield because of the snow. My phone beeped and I pulled it from my purse. It was a picture of Lilly’s left hand with a huge diamond on her ring finger. I knew instantly what it meant. My phone beeped again:
Ryan popped the question!! I am getting married!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!! The ring is gorgeous!! I am so happy for you guys!!
Osric turned to me. “Is everything all right?”
I showed him the picture I had just received. “Ryan asked Lilly to marry him.”
He looked at the picture and turned back to the road. “They seem very happy with each other. That’s good for them,” he said. You could tell he truly meant it.
“She is happy, and Ryan seems to adore her. She just tends to jump into things quickly. She hadn’t been with him long before they…” I stopped myself before I said something I shouldn’t. I didn’t want to talk about sex. When things seemed to be leading that way for us it never ended the way I hoped.
“Before they what…had sex?” he said, interrupting my thoughts.
I laughed uncomfortably. “Yes, before they slept together.” My face felt like it might burst into flames. If it were possible, I would have crawled under the truck seat.
“Honor, can I ask you a question?” I knew what was about to come, but I shook my head yes anyway. “Have you ever been with anyone?” he asked.
At this point, I briefly considered jumping out of the truck! I couldn’t muster the words. I tried but nothing came out so I just shook my head no .
He stared at me for a moment then looked back at the road. “That morning in my kitchen, with us, would you have told me if things had gone further?”
My ears burned. “I suppose. To be honest, though, I really didn’t think about it until we stopped.” My embarrassment was starting to ease now and I was growing curious. “Since we are on the subject…” He looked over at me, and the answer was already there in his expression. “How many women have you been with?”
He took one hand from the wheel and ran it through his hair. “It wouldn’t be very gentlemanly of me to say.”
I felt jealousy rising up. “That many, huh?”
He kept his eyes on the road. “No, Honor, it wasn’t a lot of women.”
I looked down at my feet, unsure if I could handle the answer to my next question. “Did you love any of them?”
As he turned to me, his expression softened. “No.”
I let out my breath; I hadn’t realized that I had been holding it while waiting for his answer.
We pulled down his street and then into his driveway. He opened the truck door for me and we carefully walked up his snowy back steps. He unlocked
