Chapter Nine

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

I reached over and threw my alarm clock off the nightstand and reached to wrap my arm around Spencer’s soft body. Wait. Where was she? I reached out again to find my hand sliding over the silk sheets on my bed.

I looked up and saw that her body was no longer next to mine. I sat up and looked around my apartment but there was no Spencer and the silence was beginning to drive me crazy. I jumped off the bed and checked the bathroom to find it empty as well.

I padded my way around my apartment and noticed a sheet of paper on my door. I rubbed my eyes and stepped closer reaching for the paper.

I tried to focus my eyes on the words but was having no luck. I put the paper down and went to my bathroom to wake myself up. I leaned over and splashed cold water on my face and my vision was finally cleared. I dried my face and went back to the note.

Sorry Ash. I had to get to work…because literally the world would stop moving if I didn’t go. I’ll call you later to see if you want to have lunch. I love you.  ~S

Well at least I know she isn’t completely freaked out over last night. I was so afraid about us just jumping back into the sexual part of our relationship before we found our groove again.

I kissed the note and put it safely in a drawer in my desk. I stretched my muscles out and smiled remembering how wonderful last night was.

Spencer had gained more experience in the bedroom but I wasn’t going to think about the girls she slept with while we were apart. I was just grateful that she was back in my life once more.

I grabbed a pair of faded jeans and a vintage t-shirt to wear. I threw the clothes on my bed and headed into the bathroom. I turned on the shower and checked to make sure the water was a nice hot temperature.

I stepped inside the shower and felt all the tension leave my body. The water felt so good on my sore muscles and I moaned at the much needed massage.
