leaving?”
Turning around, Sapphire stared at Brian standing behind her with her cell phone still in his hand. She was dying to ask him what Shauntie talked to him about, but it wasn’t any of her business. They were still practically strangers.
“Yes, he just left,” she replied. “I told him we would find a way to work things out between us.”
“Shauntie told me you were going to leave, but she talked you into staying at the cottage,” Brian told her as he came back across the room and gave her cell phone back to her.
“Yes, I decided to stay,” Shauntie answered. “What are you doing to do? Are you going to stay here with me or are you leaving?” Sapphire was surprised at how disappointed she would be if Brian decided to leave. She wanted him to stay here with her.
“I’m going to stay. I didn’t drive all the way here only to turn back around and go home. Seems like you’re going to be stuck with me for a little while longer,” Brian informed her. “I better to go upstairs and unpack.” Spinning away from her, Brian went over to his duffel bag by the side of the couch, picked it up and then made his way to the stairs at the other side of the room.
Sapphire stared after Brian as he walked away from her with mixed emotions. One part of her was excited that Brian decided to stay at the cottage with her. She would finally learn more about the hot mailman she’d lusted for since she’d laid eyes on him.
Another part of her was wondering would Brian live up to the picture she already had made of him inside of her head. Sapphire guessed only time would tell.
Chapter Eight
Why had he agreed to do this ?
Brian wondered what he had been thinking when he let Shauntie talk him into staying here with Sapphire. She knew nothing about him beyond the fact he delivered the mail to her office, but he had to be honest with himself. A huge part of him wanted to stay so he could spend the time with Sapphire for the New Year’s Eve holiday.
In his opinion, Sapphire didn’t come across like she needed or wanted a babysitter. She seemed like a pretty damn tough woman to him. He doubted anyone or anything would be able to harm Sapphire. She’d charged into the kitchen with only a can of pepper spray to defend herself against a total stranger.
What red bloodied man wouldn’t be impressed by her?
If he picked up his bag and walked out of the door right now, the drive back to town wouldn’t take him longer than four hours at the most. This meant he could get back home in time to catch TMZ.
Brian was torn. Should he stay or should he go ?
A part of him wanted to keep his promise to Shauntie and stay here so Sapphire wouldn’t be alone. However; on the other hand, Sapphire wasn’t acting like she required or wanted his protection. Actually, Brian thought she didn’t care about what he did either way.
Honestly, she would be quite safe out here by herself if he hadn’t shown up unannounced because Sapphire came across like a very fearless woman, but against his better judgment he was going to stay with her.
He wouldn’t feel right about leaving Sapphire out here by herself. Yes, she could probably do just fine without him; yet, if he left he wouldn’t get to know Sapphire any better. He found Sapphire extremely attractive and something about her made him want to strip away all of her layers.
Sapphire’s personality was very intriguing which made it impossible for him to leave without finding out how deep things could grow between them. Nash hadn’t wasted a second going after Shauntie when he found out who she really was.
He had confidence in his abilities to win Sapphire over just like Nash had done with Shauntie. When Brian had first laid eyes on Sapphire at her office, he might have been intimated by her name being on the glass door, because she was on her own playing field and around people she knew.
Yet, out here in the woods with them being all alone put Sapphire on an equal footing
