She must be done when I hear the paper crunch on the table. I take a look over my shoulder and see her drop the gown from her body. She hasn’t looked back at me, so I keep looking. Her perfect ass is right there, begging for me to grab on. And I’m just about to do it when she pulls up her panties and grabs her bra off the counter I set it on. She finishes dressing, then turns around to face me.

“Archie, you totally watched me get dressed, didn’t you?” she asks, but she’s smiling.

“Darlin’, I couldn’t help it. I was about two seconds away from taking hold of that juicy ass and bending you over the table.” I wink and smirk at her.

Her smile hits me right in the gut. This girl is doing something to me that I might not be ready for, but I want it all at the same time.

She walks over to me and lifts up on her toes and kisses me. “Come on, Daddy. Let’s go.”

“Oh ho ho, baby. I like the sound of that. You can call me Daddy anytime.” I laugh.

“Archie, don’t be gross,” she says, laughing.

I take her hand and start to lead her out of the room.

“Oh, wait! Let me grab the pictures.” She walks over to the countertop, where the technician left the ultrasound photos.

When she reaches me again, I open the door and place my hand on her lower back. We walk to the checkout and make her next appointment, which falls just before our Thanksgiving break.

After we leave the office, I walk her to her car.

“So, do you want to come over and hang out for a bit?” she asks with a smile.

I nod. “Yeah, for sure. Do you want me to pick up some food on my way?”

“That would be good. I seem to be tolerating pasta pretty well. Do you want to stop at that pizza place on Campus Corner and pick some up there? I can call in the order.” She pulls out her cell from her bag.

“Whatever sounds good to you is fine with me. I’ll take a pizza. Cheese is good.”

“What size pizza?”

“The biggest one they have, I guess. I’m pretty hungry.”

I rub my stomach, and it pulls my shirt up a little. She looks at my hand. Biting her lip, she keeps watching until I stop. I can’t help but smile. I think I might just be getting to her like she’s getting to me. Although I don’t think either of us would deny our chemistry. It’s just a matter of time before we cave in to each other.

I reach out and cup her face. “Em, do you need help ordering?”

“Huh? What? No, of course not,” she stammers, looking back down at her phone. “Okay, done. I’ll meet you at my place?”

“Sounds good.”

I lean in and kiss her. When she pulls away, I reach down and open her door. She turns and bends down to get into the car. Once she’s buckled, she looks up at me.

“See you in a few.”

She starts the car, and I close the door. Once she’s gone, I walk to my car.

I pull my phone out while I walk and see a missed call from Pitz. I hit Call, and after a few rings, he answers.

“Yo. Have you eaten yet?” he asks.

“I’m about to go grab something with a friend. Not sure when I’ll be back.” I reach my car and push the key fob to unlock it.

“Friend, as in Emma?” he asks.

“Maybe. Why do you want to know, you nosy fucker?” I chuckle.

“All good, man. You’ve been gone a lot since thesurprise. I was just curious. You know, the guys are gonna start to notice you aren’t here.”
