The morning shown softly through the vertical blinds of Lindsey's nearly empty bedroom. He looked down to see Stevie pressed into his side. Her smooth, pale skin glowing in the daylight. Smiling warmly, he pressed a kiss to her hair, causing her to stir. She stretched her back a little, arching it and pressing her bare breasts into his side even more. A smile began to appear on her face as he stroked her cheek lovingly.

"Good morning" he whispers.

"Good morning" came her soft reply. "Last night was beautiful"

"Not as beautiful as you" She reached up to touch him with her fingertips. It all felt like a dream.

"Do you feel alright? We drank our weight in wine when we got back here last night."

"I couldn't be better"

"No headache or anything?"

"Nope. How about you?"

"Nope, I'm fine."

"Good thing." she says.

"Oh?"

"Because then I won't feel like I'm taking advantage of you in your vulnerable state" She says seductively, positioning herself on top of him. He looked up at her as if she were a goddess, stroking her thighs that lay either side of his torso. She leaned down, pressing her chest against his, kissing him passionately. He gripped her bum, thinking of easing her onto himself when a cellphone rang in the distance. She sat up and looked at him, a puzzled look on her face.

"That's yours, Steph" he told her and she huffed. "I know...."

"Just when we were getting to the good part" she said and he chuckled, watching her get off him and hunt for her bag, thrown on the floor in the heat of their continued romance the night before. She tossed her dress, bra and panties aside, unable to find the phone as it continued to ring. She crawls over to the corner by the dresser and spots it right in her line of sight. She opens her clutch and flips her phone open. "Hello, Karen" she answers.

"Jesus! I've been calling you all night! I've been worried sick!"

"You don't have to worry about me"

"I haven't seen you at all and you had asked me to come and sort out your engagements for this summer. You have about a million appearances scheduled"

"I know, I'm sorry, but remember how I told you I was hanging out with Jenna?"

"Let me talk to her" Stevie panicked. She shot a glance to Lindsey, watching gleefully from the bed. She started giggling nervously, unsure what to say as her questioning of her and her whereabouts continues. "She's not there, is she?"

"Uh....no."

"Stevie! Where the hell are you? How can you be laughing when I'm terrified my boss is stranded or dead?"

"I'm obviously not dead. It's not that serious, Kar. Seriously, relax, have a glass of wine..."

"Do you need me to pick you up?"

"No, I'm fine. I promise I will will be home later. I am very safe and in no danger whatsoever." Lindsey starts laughing loudly and Stevie throws his wadded up tee shirt at him, causing herself to giggle even more when it hits him in the face.

"Are you with Lindsey?" Karen asks and the giggles continue. "Have him bring you home, okay? Next time give me a heads up that you're going to be gone with your boyfriend all night."

"I will. Thank you for your concern. I will be sure to come home by curfew next time, mom" Stevie rolled her eyes and she knew Karen was doing the same.

"Have a good day."

"Thank you. You too. Take the day off. I will call you when I get home."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes Karen"

"Alright. Have fun. Good bye."

"Good bye" Stevie slaps the phone closed and exhales heavily. "So..she knows" she says, looking up at Lindsey.

"She knows what?" Lindsey asks.

"She knows I'm with you. As I'm sure you heard, I had her take the day off and I told her I would call her when I got home."

"Did I get you in trouble?" He asks.

"No" Stevie says. "But you might be"

"I think I'm okay with that" he says, laying back on the bed. She gets up from the floor and joins him on the bed, crawling over to him. He put his fist to his mouth, biting a knuckle. He loved to watch her. He lowers his hand when he feels her breath on his skin as she presses kisses to his skin. "You're beautiful" he tells her.

"So are you, Linds. Gorgeous." She kisses his lips, running her fingers through his hair. The kissing continues but it looks like Lindsey has something on his mind. She pushes past that in hopes of a morning lovemaking session, placing his hands on her body as she climbs on top of him.

"Baby?" He asks

"Mm?" She replied, kissing all over his face and neck.

"Can we talk a minute?"

"Later, Linds." Stevie says, smoothing her hands over his chest. "Do you not like what I'm doing? She sits up and looks at him, upset he's not going for it.

"No, it's definitely not that. You are so sexy and I'd take you in a minute but I can't stop thinking about last night" He sits up a little with her still on top of him.

"What happened in the backseat? Do you wanna do it again?" She asks.

"No, I mean yes, but do you remember what I said? Do you remember last night besides the sex?"

"Of course I do."

"Okay..." Lindsey seemed nervous, curious if she actually remembered what he asked her- his big question.

"Well, Jenna set us up, we talked, we had dinner, we...made love" she says, giving him a sweet kiss.

"And that's it?"

"Yup!" She says and he deflates. "Just kidding!" She giggles and he tickles her.

"You scared the shit out of me!"he says, laughing as he tickles her a little more. She falls into the bed beside him and she looks up at him. Her breathing slowed as he eased off and let her compose herself.

"Well, we had to get back here some how. You drove us home"

"Please say you remember what happened between the back seat and the bedroom" He looked desperate now and she couldn't stop herself from giggling some more. "What's so funny?"

"You're so easy to do that to!"

"Come on, be serious."

"Yes, Lindsey. I remember." She kisses him, her hand stroking his face. "You looked at me, full of love and passion. I was looking for a sign that you weren't serious. I was afraid you were saying it because...well, we had just had the most crazy, amazing sex in your car like horny teenagers." He chuckles a little, the mood quickly turning serious again. "But all I saw was genuine desire for me to be yours, you to be mine..."

"And...?"

"My answer still stands."

"Really?" He looks so cute to her, shocked she said yes for the first time in almost 45 years.

"Really. When you get yourself free, I'll marry you."

"Oh my God!" He kisses her repeatedly, each one becoming more heated as he gingerly climbs on top of her.

"Now are you going to do me or what?" she asks from beneath him and he chuckles.

"Yes, gladly"
