“What is that noise?”
I lifted my head from my pillow and cracked open one eye. “I don’t know what the hell that is.”
“Oh, shit,” Delaney yelped. “That’s my phone.” She sprung out of bed and dove on the floor. “I was supposed to call my mom if I wasn't coming home.”
“Twenty-seven and she’s still has to let her mama know where she is,” I chuckled.
She found the phone and flipped me off. “Mama?” she said.
Delaney was standing naked in my room talking on the phone to her mom. This was a situation I never thought I would be in.
“Uh, I’m with Jay. I’m sorry I didn’t call. I lost track of time and then fell asleep.”
“Right, lost track of time,” I mumbled. More like we were too busy making up for a week of not having sex.
“Yes, I actually slept, Mama.”
I chuckled and swung out of bed. “Your mama ain’t eating your line of crap, Del.”
“Shut it, Jay,” she hissed. “Yes, I’m still here, Mama,” she said in the same breath. “Jay was just being a butt.”
“I thought you liked my butt,” I whispered.
Delaney pinched her lips together and motioned for me to zip it.
I wandered into the bathroom and started the shower. It was half past seven, and I had to get to the shop. I knew when Roc had told me to stay behind, there was a reason. The asshole wanted me to clean up the shop and be there for the lift guy who was coming in to do monthly maintenance. Harlyn went to the race with Remy, so that left me to be the one to let the guy in.
I had just finished rinsing my hair when Delaney pulled the shower curtain back and butted her way in. She pushed me to the back and stood under the hot water. “My mama thinks I’m a hoochie, and she said hello.”
I watched the water flow over her skin and cringed. “Uh, can we please not talk about your mom when my balls are this close to you.”
She looked over her shoulder at me. “Then just what are we supposed to talk about?” she asked.
I wrapped my arms around her and pressed her against the shower wall. “I got a few things you and I could discuss.”
The water turned cold by the time we were done talking, but you can bet your ass that was the best shower I had ever had in my life.
