Chapter 10
Sunlight streamed through the window, blinding Karen as she laid in her bed. She shut her eyes tighter and rolled onto her other side, hitting into something solid. She put her hand out, touching whatever or whomever it was. All she could feel was a flat stomach and chest hair. Suddenly, an arm reached up and rubbed her forearm.
"Morning, Kare."
She froze suddenly. Oh shit…
She tilted her head to make eye contact with him as she sat up, pulling the sheet closer around her body.
"Hi." She said quietly, getting up and dressing herself quickly.
"How did you sleep?"
"Um, fine…..You?"
"Great." He gazed at her lovingly. "Listen Kare, we should talk about what happened last night."
She stopped dressing herself and turned to look at him. "Okay. Um……I - -"
"No, Karen, let me talk. Okay?"
She nodded wordlessly.
He took a deep breath before he started. "Okay. Let me start by saying that this wasn't just some fling to me. I care about you so much, that it hurts inside. You and Logan are my world and I don't regret anything that happened last night. I love you, Karen. And I really hope that you don't regret it either."
Karen was speechless. "Can you say that again?"
"The whole thing? I don't know if I can remember the whole—"
"No, no. Just that last part."
"I love you?"
"That's it. You love me?"
She moved closer to the bed and sat down next to him as he nodded his head. He grabbed her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
"Yeah, I do. Is that okay?" he asked, unsurely.
"That's all I ever wanted to hear." Karen said as she leaned down and kissed him passionately.
The clothes she had put on quickly found their way back to the floor in a crumpled mess as Karen and Will stayed in bed, planning on picking up Logan later on in the day.
