Short and sweet, but it gave me a little bit of hope that Jay hadn’t run for the hills.
I popped one of the pods into the coffeemaker and waited while it gurgled to life and spit out the decaf drink that was hopefully going to somehow jump-start my mornings better than the tea was doing.
So Jay wasn’t here this morning.
It didn’t mean anything.
It wasn’t like he lived here or anything.
I inhaled the heavenly scent of the coffee and sighed.
Maybe Jay would be right about this whole decaf thing. It smelt like my mornings used to, and if I tricked my mind into thinking it was real coffee, this would be awesome.
My phone dinged in the living room, and I wandered over to get it while the coffee brewed.
At work. It’s looking like I’ll be here all day. Need to do some testing on the car.
I had completely forgotten he needed to go into work today. Though he wasn’t going to be able to get off early like he had hoped. No problem. Be careful at work.
Can I come over after work? If it’s too late I won’t.
I bit my lip. It didn’t matter if it was late, early, or right now. Jay could come over whenever he wanted. Whenever is good.
I didn’t have to wait even a minute before his reply came through. Then I’ll see you later, Del. Think of me. <3
Think of him? That wasn't hard to do at all. I decided not to reply and left the phone sitting on the coffee table.
While things were a little clearer, they were more confusing in other areas.
Jay and I were in the middle of a delicate and complicated relationship, and I wasn’t sure what way it was going to go.
Either way, we were going to have a baby together, and we needed to figure out what we were doing.
