The next morning when I woke up, I was alone. I looked around and noticed a note on the pillow next to me.
Good morning beautifu, sorry I didn't wake you, but since you rarely sleep I figured I'd better let you rest. I'll be on a job site until 4:00 this afternoon. You're welcome to hang around, make yourself at home. My truck keys are hanging on the hook by the door. Feel free to take the truck if you want to get out of the house, or if you need to get home. I don't mind. I'll clean you on my lunch break.
~Richie
I grinned when I saw the letter, tracing his writing with my fingers. I grabbed my cell phone from the nightstand and called Sydney. "Hello?" She answered. "Oh my God. I did it!" I squealed. "You did what?" She laughed. "I slept over at Richie's place last night. And we umm... You know." I giggled. As I went to stand I winced at the soreness between my legs. "Owwww" I groaned. "Oh yeah... So can you walk?" Sydney teased me. "Not quite." I chuckled, hobbling to the bathroom. When I got there, I saw another note taped to the mirror. "Hey hold on a second.." I told Sydney. She agreed, and I read the second note.
Take a hot bath. It'll ease the ache. Soak for a while, relax there's aspirin in the medicine cabinet, and breakfast downstairs in the microwave.
I sighed at the thoughtfulness, and grabbed the asprin. I re-read the note to Sydney and she aww'ed. "So I'm bored, Richie dosent get off work until later this afternoon, wanna grab lunch, do some shopping? I can meet you in town." I asked her. She agreed quickly and We agreed to meet at our favorite diner at 11:00am. I hung up and filled the tub with steaming water, I saw a bottle of vanilla bubble bath on the edge of the tub, with a note that said 'use me'. Once I was settled in the tub,I grabbed my phone and texted Richie.
C- Thank you for the notes, and the bubble bath, and the breakfast. I haven't made it downstairs yet, taking advantage of your tub.
R- without me? I'm jealous. And you're very welcome honey.
C- so I was wondering, can I borrow your truck to meet up with Sydney for lunch and some shopping? :)
R- of course, I told you you're welcome to use it. Lol. I was thinking dinner tonight, unless you have other plans that is?
C- I'm all yours. How about instead of going out, we stay in? I'll cook.
R-you got yourself a deal little girl. See you at home babe.
C- :*
I ended the conversation with a kissy face, giggling and smiling to myself. Noticing the time, I quickly finished my bath and dried off. I pulled on one of Richie's tshirts and headed downstairs, intent on breakfast. When I walked into the kitchen, I headed for the microwave and grabbed my plate. Bacon, eggs, and toast. There was still fresh coffee, and a gallon of orange juice on the counter. I scarfed it down quickly then ran back upstairs to get ready. I grabbed his keys and walked into the garage. When I climbed up into the truck, I had to laugh. My feet dangled above the floor, no where near the pedals. I snapped a quick picture and sent it to Richie. He replied quickly with 'that just made my day. Be careful on the road tiny.'. I laughed. As I finished adjusting the seat and mirrors, I lowered the steering wheel and buckled up. Then my phone dinged with a notification from Instagram. I opened it up. Richie had posted the picture I just sent him, tagging me, with the caption "When your woman drives your truck..." I cracked up laughing and commented with "#mymanisbiggerthanyours", then put my phone away to drive.
