Chapter 11: Decision Made

When I woke up the room was still dark. I realized that I was facing Ranger's chests and his arm was still draped around me.

The alarm clock told me it was four thirty.

As I remembered the activities of last night the panic attack came back. I had to get out I had to leave. I need to figure things out. I had just used Ranger for sex. How could I do that to him? I need to leave.

I tried squirming my way out, but Ranger's arm tightened. I tried picking it up and he woke up. Damn.

"Babe?" He turned himself to look at the clock. "It's four thirty-three."

"Yea I know Ranger, go back to sleep." And I picked his arm off of me. I know now is not the time to notice this, but his arm is pretty heavy.

I slipped out of bed and hit the cold air. I gave a shiver and was tempted to jump back into bed. Ranger had positioned himself on his elbow now looking at me move around. I didn't waste time. I went straight for the closet, I pulled on a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and borrowed one of Ranger's sweat shirts.

I was hoping I was moving faster than his brain but nope. He figured out what I was doing. He was standing at the closet door as I turned to leave. He had me trapped.

"What are you doing Stephanie?" he asked with a serious voice and a hint of anger.

"I have to pack up my apartment." Okay, so it was partially true. I was planning on going back to my apartment and while I was there I was going to consider packing I'm sure.

He just stared at me. I knew he knew the reason I was leaving. But I guess he let it go because he stood aside.

I stepped out of the closet and walked out to the living room. Ranger followed me. At the door he turned me around. He handed me the keys to his Porsche. "The boys will be there around 10. Is that okay?"

I nodded avoiding his gaze. I guess they were scheduled to clean out my apartment today or maybe Ranger didn't want to leave me alone too long considering what I had done the last time he had left me alone for too long.

"Are you going to be back tonight?" He asked with a quieter voice.

I shrugged.

"Okay." He said and leaned in and kissed my forehead.

I was out of there in seconds. I took the elevator to the garage and took his Porsche. I was at my apartment in 15. It was still very early so none of the senior in my building were awake yet. I took the elevator and entered my hallway. I looked around, no spookies. I got to my apartment door and I realized I didn't have any keys. I tried the door and it was open. I pushed it open while I stood still, it was dark inside, nothing looked wrong. I stepped in quietly but I didn't see anything. I did a walk through and then I finally came back to the door and locked it closed. I turned on some lights and then went directly to the bathroom.

I took a ten-minute shower that reminded me how wonderful it can be to use my own bathroom. I got dressed in my own clothes but I kept his sweatshirt on. I went into the kitchen and searched for any food but no luck. I thought about donuts instead and sat at the table with pen and a pad, my thinking mode.

What to do? Morelli or Ranger? Or maybe my parents? No. Absolutely not.

I wrote Ranger's name and Morelli's name side by side on the middle of the pad and drew a line. Time for Pros and Cons?

Ranger- Pros

He loves me, I love him

Hot

Has money

He's Batman, my Prof. Higgins, the Wizard

He accepts me as I am, will support me

Cons

I don't know anything about him

Dangerous

What will Mom/Dad say?

Morelli- Pros

He loves me, I love him

Sexy

Cop

I know everything about him

Lives in the burg

Mom loves him

Cons

Will never be allowed to go anywhere without him

Grandma Bella

No more bounty hunting

But then there were things I didn't know where to put for Ranger, like he has a daughter. He said he wasn't into relationship but has that changed? I used him and he let me. I suddenly remembered. He's been taking care of me all this time. I know there's a Bat Cave and that the apartment wasn't where he slept every night but he's been staying there for me, with me. So maybe the choice is obvious.

I felt a pang of guilt for not choosing Morelli, I mean he and I have had something since I was 6. And he does love me. It's going to be hard to break it to him, but strangely I don't think he'll take it all that hard. He's been okay with me living with Ranger.

Ranger could take care of me he had the resources. He'll let me pick up bounty hunting if I wanted or offer me a job. He can protect me. And I loved him, probably I should tell him that.
