They stood there looking at each other with the contract they wrote up years before in the middle of them. He didn’t know why he hadn’t thought of the fact it was hanging up in his house where it was when he asked her to come over. He had forgotten about it being there. Though he was okay with her seeing it and knowing he thought of it often as he pondered different things for different cases he worked on, it was a surprise for him to have framed it and to keep it there among his other personal documents like his degrees and whatnot.
“Are you supposed to be working?” Sara asked sometime later as she rested her head on his shoulder after he kissed her softly but thoroughly. She was now at least somewhat relaxed. He also had some answers about her as well. She was new to all of this. Everything was completely new to her. Even being kissed. That was something she wasn’t us
“You would like me to meet him?” she asked softly.“Yes,” Garrett replied as he brushed her off her face. The silence filled the room as they stared at each other in the low light of the room now. The couch was near the furthest place in the room from the light in the corner of the room. Though it was open, this was a corner that was just for him to relax and unwind during the day. He knew the placement was off, but it worked for him. “I think you, out of everyone in the world, need one person who can show you how to love again.&rd
“Come on.” He said as he nudged her to stand.“To where?” she asked, and he looked her over as she thought something was wrong.
Garrett started to come back to the world, and he hit the water release button because the water had cooled to the point of being cold. When he looked down to Sara, who was still resting on his chest, she lifted her head slightly, but even that seemed to be too much for her to do. Garrett had to admit though she was not experienced at all, she was a very quick learner. He waited until the water had drained enough that he could feel her shiver slightly. He then nudged her to a standing position, where he found himself admiring her body for a minute or two. Then he got up and h
Garett felt nothing but complete protectiveness for the woman who was sleeping next to him as they lay there in the dark. It had been some time since he had a woman near him, but this one was so different from the ones he had in the past. The connection that was there was forged through years of knowing each other and the simple fact that they both hated one person though he wasn’t sure if she really hated Joyce until tonight.
Sara was confused and sleepy still. She was aware of him and his hands that were on her. She didn’t know why everything felt so different with him. She thought she was completely broke when it came to men, and there he was, trying to make everything better. She knew there always had been something different about this one male that was in her life. She didn’t know why, though.
The cool air in the house was all around her. She made the call and hoped he was somewhere where he could take it. The answer was, “I was wondering when you would finally call me.”“Hi, Uncle Tony.” She said with a slight laugh. “It has been a while.”
“What happened in that year?” Garett asked, knowing that he was breaking the dramatic silence that had filled the room.“That was the year everything started to happen for the couple,” Tony said as he seemed to change his voice, and the two people could hear the pride there within the tone.
