I woke up in the middle of the night to pee and forgot where I was until I felt Cotton beside me.

I looked around the room before getting up and going to the bathroom. Did he say the room on the right or left?

I went to walk into one room and saw Stone laying in bed with just a pair of shorts on. Holy shit!

I backed out of the room slowly and went into the other room finding the light and quietly shutting the door.

When I made it back to the room Cotton was still on the bed and I got back in beside the cat and picked up my phone and saw forty texts from Clay. That's what he gets.

I put the phone back on the bedside table and closed my eyes.

A little while later I heard Stone saying my name. I opened my eyes and he was dressed for work not just in shorts so that was a letdown.

"Good morning Chesney!"

"Morning." I yawned.

"Did you sleep well?"

"I did with Cotton," I smirked.

"I am going to go make some coffee want a cup?"

"Yes please."

After he left the room I slipped on my shoes and made the bed and scratched Cotton on top of the head before heading to the kitchen.

When I walked in there it smelled so good. I set down at the counter as he poured two cups.

"How do you take it?"

"Black is fine."

"Same." He smirked.

He handed it to me and I couldn't wait to take the first sip.

"Cupcake? I don't really have any breakfast foods. I skip it and have coffee and then eat lunch."

"No this is good enough."

"After I pack my lunch we will head over to Clay's." He said grabbing the bread.

"He texted over forty times and well I didn't even respond I left him on seen. He will be afraid when he sees me."

"Are you mouthy?"

"I can be and I am not like that with anyone other than Clay. He can really push my buttons and he knows it."

"Yeah, my sister and I used to be like that but now that she moved we don't talk much."

"I thought I missed Clay but maybe I was wrong about that." I laughed sipping my coffee and watching him pack his lunch.

Damn his ass looks nice in those jeans. They are tight and that tool belt makes me want to drool. He could hammer on me any time.

"Did you hear me, Chesney?"

"No what?"

"I am ready if you are." He said.

"Oh, sure I am ready. Let me grab my purse and say bye to Cotton."

Once in the truck, we were on our way over to Clay's and I wasn't as upset as I was last night. I guess because Stone made it better. Even though I saw him shirtless it was in the dark and not good enough.

We pulled up at Clay's and his truck was here so I got out and Stone followed me.

The door swung open and Clay looked scared. "Where in the hell have you been?"

"With Stone since you decided I didn't need to get in the house last night."

"Sis I am sorry I wasn't thinking."

"Yeah, I am sure of that," I said pushing by him.

"Chesney I will wait on you."

"Thanks, Stone! Let me change my clothes and I will be right out."

Clay was rubbing his head and dropped it. I heard him mumbling to Stone as I walked to my bedroom.

I hurried and took a quick shower pulling my hair up on top of my head. I put on deodorant and a dash of perfume and a nice sun dress for the day.

I slipped into my shoes and walked into the kitchen for some water and then out the door.

"Sis I could have taken you to work."

"No bother Stone and I are going to the same place."

"I am really sorry sis."

"We can talk about it later. I have things to do. Bye Clay."

We walked back to Stone's truck and got in and he chuckled.

"Nothing worse than being shut down when you want to apologize but he knows you're pissed."

"Good. I want him to continue to think that."

"I swear you took the shortest shower in history." He laughed.

"I tried to hurry. I didn't want you to wait that long." I smiled over at him.

When we got to Forever Fountain Whitney's car was already there.

"I bet she apologies as soon as you walk in and I would like to witness that." He chuckles.

"You sir have work to do." I laughed.

"Alright fine. Are you coming out to help me?" He smirked.

"Maybe I mean I may have a lot to do today."

"I was kidding. I will see you later."

"Thanks for letting me stay and steal your cat last night."

"No problem." He laughed.

I walked into the building and Whitney was sitting at the desk looking scared.

"Chesney I am so sorry!"

"Whitney it's not your fault. I am mad at my brother but it all worked out and I am fine. I stayed with Stone."

"What? You stayed at Stones house? In the same bed?"

She followed me to my office.

"Now I didn't say all of that. I stayed in his spare bedroom with his cat."

"Oh! Well, still I'm sorry that Clay was an ass. I tried to get him to come to unlock the door for you but he said you would wait."

"He did huh? Well, next time you see him if he has a black eye I gave it to him."

She giggled. "For what it's worth we had a great date and he was the perfect gentleman."

"Well, that's a first." I plop down in my chair and open the checkbook to see what I need to work on today.
