was slightly drunk that night so whatever I did or said, I apologize.”
Chuckling, Aubrey shook her head. “Oh honey, it’s completely fine. I don’t remember much about that night myself. I only remember being happy for Dallas and Bailey.”
Nodding, I sighed. “Well sugar, we’re here. I can go in and get the parts for you if you’d prefer to stay here.”
“Nope! I’m payin’ for it. It’s my car and I’m sure I’m the reason it busted loose in the first place.”
Jumping out, Aubrey started for the door to the shop. Shaking my head, I laughed. She had spunk I’d give her that. Following suit, I quickly caught up and wrapped my arm around her. I was thankful that she didn’t shove me away like other women might have. Instead, she wrapped her arm around my waist and leaned into me.
“This shouldn’t take too terribly long. I know all the parts you’ll need to get that beauty up and runnin’ again.”
“Thank you so much, you really don’t know what this means to me.”
Smiling brightly, I walked her back to the section of the store where the parts we needed were located.
An hour and a half later I had the radiator hose fixed while Aubrey sat and watched. Night was falling and I didn’t know where Aubrey was headed, but I didn’t necessarily want her to leave. Taking her hand I drew her closer to me. Looking down at her, I ran my finger down her cheek wiping away grease.
“Stay for the night? It’s getting late and I know you wanna get back out on the road but I don’t want you to get tired and have nowhere to pull over to rest. I’ll cook you dinner and let you sleep in my room while I sleep on the couch.”
Looking around, it looked as if Aubrey was about to say no, but thankfully she looked back to me and nodded. “I’d love to stay, Austin.”
Grinning like a fool, I laced my fingers with hers and lead her up to the house for the second time that day. Instead of bypassing the house this time, I brought her inside and showed her around before going to the kitchen to whip up a batch of chili.
Once we’d eaten and the dishes done, Aubrey and I sat on the couch to watch a movie. It wasn’t a particularly scary movie, but after about twenty minutes Aubrey closed the space between us and rested her head on my shoulder. Sighing happily, I wrapped my arms around her and kissed the top of her head. It amazed me that a woman as beautiful and as sweet as her was so trusting with someone like me.
Sometime in the middle of the movie, I felt Aubrey fall asleep on me. Looking down, I watched her for a moment before standing up then picking her up, then moving to my bedroom. Laying her on my bed, I took her shoes off before crawling into the bed next to her. Sliding my arm around her, I pulled her against my chest and fell asleep. I knew that I’d told her that I would sleep on the couch, but I didn’t want to pass up this chance to hold her close—not when I might never get it again.
BUT SAVING AUSTIN!
