Sandler comedy. I snuggled up next to him and got comfortable. But the truth was, I wasn't paying any attention to the movie. I laughed when he laughed so I didn't give myself away. The look on his face when he told his story broke my heart. How could a father do that to his son after he lost his mom? Jase spent years alone fending for himself and probably drowning in grief. Was his dad regretful, is that why he called? Was he still on drugs wanting money? I had a million questions. But more than anything I wanted to know if Jase was really ok. How could he heal if he never dealt with his grief?  He lost his dad right along with his mom too. I knew all about that. But the fact was his dad was still alive. Something I would never have. But I wouldn't push the issue any further tonight. I didn't want tension between us. I just wanted to be close to him. So I wrapped myself up tighter against Jase and he kissed me on the head. And then I tried to pay attention to the movie.
      The ding of a text message woke me the next morning. The sun was shining bright through the windows and Jase was snuggled against me with his arm draped over my waist. I moved away slowly, trying not to wake him as I reached for my phone on the nightstand.
    Sam: Just checking on you. Noticed you didn't come home.
    Me: I stayed with Jase
    Sam: That's what I figured you dirty slut. ;) I was just making sure you didn't get murdered or something.
    Me: Drama Queen
    Sam: Hey you never know lol
    Me: I'm good
    Sam: I bet you are...bawchickawowow
    Me: LOL I'll be home later
    Sam: 10-4
      " Mmm..." Jase groaned. "Come here" He said in that raspy morning voice that I loved so much. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me closer to him. He draped his leg over me and it only took a second to realize we were both still naked.
      "Mornin'" I whispered.
      "I'm glad you stayed" He said as he kissed the top of my head.
      "Me too" I said as I pulled his arms around me tighter.
      Jase ran his hand from the top of my arm down to my thigh. My body immediately responded to his touch and I opened my legs for him. This was my new favorite way to start my day.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter 7
     
     
     
    Monday Afternoon
      It was a super busy day at work. Mondays usually were. I felt a sense of relief when it was 5 o'clock and time for me to go home. I pulled my jacket tight around me as I walked out of the office. A cold front had moved in and the wind was brisk. It was almost November and the scenery was changing. The brittle leaves were being blown off the trees and the sky was dark. I missed summer already. I rushed to my car and started the engine.
      My thoughts went to Jase once again. What else was new?  I was more than ready to see him. We didn't get to have our usual lunch date today. The other receptionist called in sick so I didn't get the chance to leave the office.  But he had been on my mind the whole day. He was leaving for work in the morning and I was dreading it. We had spent all of our time together since we met. I wasn't ready to be away from him for two weeks. It made me a little sick to my stomach every time I thought about it.
      My feeling of dread turned to excitement when I pulled into my driveway and spotted his truck sitting there. He hopped out and met me at the driver’s side of my car.
      "Hey beautiful" He said as he opened my door. I loved the way he always called me beautiful when he saw me. He actually made me believe it.
      "Hey handsome" I said as I stood and wrapped my arms around him. I put my arms under his Carhart jacket and squeezed him. "Mmm… you’re warm."
      "Let's go inside" He said as he started walking towards the front porch, with me still wrapped around him.
      "I need to grab my purse" I said with my face buried in his chest.
      "I'll get it, you go inside. I don't want you cold."
      Once we were inside my room I started to take my shoes off and Jase laid down on my bed. He
