“No.This place is falling apart around me.”
“What’s wrong?”
“The pipe under the kitchen sink cracked.There’s water everywhere.And my ride to the doctor fell through.”
Fox raked his hand over his head.“Okay.I’ll, um, be there soon.”
“Thank you.You’re such a good son.”
He rolled his eyes and hung up.
Melody was on the other side of the bed, pulling on her jeans over her sexy panties.She already had her bra on and pulled her shirt over her head.“Do you know where I left my bag?”
“It’s on the kitchen island.”
“Okay.What does Tanya need?”
“A plumber and a ride,” he called from the bathroom as he ditched the condom and cleaned up.
She tucked in the shirt and finger combed her hair in the mirror from behind him.“Okay.You better get dressed or you’ll miss your meeting.”
He turned and stared at her.“I can’t go to the meeting now.I’ll have to reschedule.”
“You go do your thing.I’ve got Tanya covered.”
He stared at her, still not believing what was happening.“What?”
“Dean and Max are waiting for you.Hurry up.”
“Melody, you don’t have to…”
“I know.I volunteered.I’m up.I’ve got a few hours before I need to be at work.”
“I’m sure you have other things to do today before work.”
She planted her hands on her hips.“Fox.Say thank you.”
He sighed.“Thank you.”
“Awesome.Now get dressed before I drool all over the place.”She grinned and ran her hand over his chest before turning and walking out of the room.
He chuckled, then rushed into the walk-in closet and pulled on a pair of jeans and a lightweight sweater.He grabbed his socks and a pair of shoes, sat on the bed, and put them on, wondering if Melody had left before he actually said goodbye to her.
“Hurry up,” she shouted.
He found her in the kitchen.She turned with two travel mugs in hand.“Do you want anything in yours?”
“No.Black is good.What do you put in yours?”
“Milk, but you’re out, so I’ll just go stripped down and dirty like we did earlier.”
God, this woman.She kept on surprising him.
“I’ll return the mug later.Okay?”She shooed him toward the door.
He went because she was following him.“No problem.”She could keep the damn thing for all he cared.“Will you come back tonight after your shift?”He opened the front door for her.
“Do you want me to?”she asked, walking out and heading to the elevator.
