Chapter 10

Mila

After waking in Reid’s arm, -as the other was still strapped to his chest- she hated to slip out.

It was harder than she was expecting.

She wanted nothing more than to lay in his arms and stay there.

But work called and she got dressed quickly as she watched him sleep.

His dark blonde hair was tousled on his head and lay on his forehead.

And his sexy chest was on full display. He had just the slight sprinkling of hair on his chest that matched his hair.

She had lain against that sexy chest all night and she hated leaving him.

She let out a quiet sigh, and then walked away after writing him a quick note.

She drove to the diner and parked behind it, and then went inside.

Nana looked over at her, “Oh, there she is.” She gave Mila a sly grin and Mila felt herself blushing.

“Nana,” she said and Nana grinned, “So, how was it?”

Mila gave a laugh, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Nana snorted, “Miles called remember? Reid took you out of the restaurant over his shoulder?”

Mila blushed, “He might have.”

Nana threw her head back and laughed and then pressed her flour covered hand to her chest, “It sounded so romantic. Just so, possessive. So manly. So, what is the word? Delicious.”

Mila let out a startled laugh, “Nana!!!”

Nana laughed again, “What? It’s true! He swoops in, thinking you are on a date and refusing to let you? That is romantic as hell.”

Mila laughed again, “Alright, yes. It was so romantic and sexy as all get out. He can still hardly do anything with his shoulder, but he threw me over his good one? Yes please.”

Nana was nodding, “Yes. Oh, what a man he is.”

She fanned herself. Grandpa walked in and Mila and Nana stopped talking. Then looked at each other and laughed.

Grandpa shook his head and walked to Nana, giving her a sweet kiss, “Now just what is going on in here?”

Nana laughed and winked at Mila, “Nothing.”

Mila bit her lip to hide her smile and put her apron on and winked back at Nana.

She mouthed, “We will talk later.”

And Mila grinned again, nodding and pulling out a pad.

Grandpa Joe gave a soft chuckle, “Have your secrets woman. Mila girl, the Sheriff and his Deputy are seated in your section.”

Mila hurried out and sure enough both Brek and Trace were seated at a table.

She walked to their side, “Hey there Brek, Trace. How are you both?”
