forehead. "So, you and Buck, huh?" he asked with a smile.
"It was only a kiss."
"Only a kiss?" Annie got all animated. "Buck was sticking his tongue down your throat. That was not only a kiss."
"Annie!" I was stunned.
"Oh, don't you play shy now, you tramp." She took a sip of her own coffee and winked at me. I smiled into my cup, knowing she was just teasing.
"Man, I missed something last night." Matt looked between the two of us, confusion in his eyes.
"You had your own night, with my own tongue, I might add," Annie retored.
Okay, too much information. I needed to wake up Maggie and get to our apartment. I couldn't wait for her to see the hard work Annie had done in her room. I waved my hand in the air to say goodbye, but Annie apparently wasn’t done talking yet.
"Well you have to at least tell me if he is a good kisser."
"Yeah, is my best friend, Buck, a good kisser?" This query came from Matt.
Just as I was about to climb the stairs, Buck strode in the front door. He looked absolutely breathtaking. I had to prevent myself from running to him and planting a kiss on those perfect lips. When he saw me, his face lit up, and my stomach fluttered. He smiled that beautiful smile and I wanted to melt where I was. Matt and Annie continued talking in the kitchen. They hadn’t heard him come in.
"Claire, did your knees go weak when he kissed you?" Matt called from the other room. Oh God, please stop.
"I already told you she was floating on cloud nine last night and couldn't shut up about him. So I am sure she got weak in the knees and probably wet in the panties," Annie snickered. Just kill me now. I know I turned fifty shades of red.
Buck towered over me and his smile grew bigger. "So, that kiss made you float on cloud nine?" He leaned in closer, and I closed my eyes. I could feel his body heat. The fragrance of his body wash and aftershave swirled around me, making me lightheaded. Then just as he was about to place his lips on mine, the smell of death and decay hit my nose. Dang it all, Boris! I gagged on the stench coming from the mood-killing dog. Buck was obviously offended by the smell as well, his face pale as he fanned away the lingering fumes. I pulled my tank top up and covered my nose. The movement caught Buck's eyes. He glanced down at my exposed stomach, his fingertips grazing my skin, sending goose bumps across my midriff.
"I’ll take a rain check on that good morning kiss," he murmured as he pulled his hands from my stomach and walked into the kitchen to greet Annie and Matt. I gave the stink eye to Boris and turned to head up the stairs. Once in my soon-to-be-old room, I quickly changed and put the remainder of my belongings into a duffel bag. I went across the hall to wake up Maggie. She was peacefully sleeping, her blonde curls were splayed out over the pillow. The room looked bare without all her toys and books. I sat down next to her and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Good morning, Maggie. Today is the day we move into our own house," I whispered.
"Just you and me?" She stirred and answered without opening her eyes.
"Yep, just Mommy and Maggie."
"Can Boris come visit?"
Yuck. Hell no, I wanted to say. "We can discuss that, but first we need to get you ready and have some breakfast okay?"
She opened her eyes up and gave me a smile. "Okay Mommy!" She was up and ready to get going.
"Oh wow, and you definitely need to brush your teeth." She giggled as I fanned the air.
"Give me kisses, Mommy!" By now she was coming at me with that stinky breath.
"No, No, not till you brush that stinky mouth." Gah, she got me with a sloppy kiss. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. pulling her close in a hug.
When we got to the apartment, Maggie had to check out each room and closet at least ten times. For supper, we ordered a pizza and sat on the living room floor on a blanket and had an indoor picnic. Later, we watched Frozen and snuggled up on the couch. I could not be any happier than I was at this
