nod.  “Yeah.  Drew woke me a few minutes ago and asked me to give you a message.”
    “And?”
    Jared furrowed his brow, rolling his eyes toward the ceiling.  “Let me think.”
    “Dammit, Jared!”
    He laughed and waved his hands.  “Hush, woman.  You’ll wake the house and you need time to get your skinny butt out of here.  Look, Drew wants you to take the car he has waiting for you outside.  He said Wyatt’ll know where to take you.”
    “But what about…”
    “All covered.  Natasha, Olivia, Morgan, and Kat are all going for Morgan’s final dress fitting this morning.”  Ah, yes.  Natasha Carrere, Morgan’s maid of honor.  A sweet woman but horny as hell, and her sights were set on Jared.  I found it quite funny, really.  Even though Olivia announced Jared and I were some sort of thing, she didn’t seem to care.  Who could blame her?  Jared really was a bit of a catch.  
    “Yeah, I know.  I’m supposed to go.”
    “Not anymore.  You now have the shits and can’t get out of bed.”
    I covered my face with my hands, heat rising in my cheeks.  “Seriously!  You can’t think of anything better than that?”
    “I could, but it’s more fun to make you blush when I have to cover for you.”
    I grabbed my pillow and threw it at him.  Jared raced for the door, the pillow narrowly missing his back.  “Get dressed and have fun!”  He slipped out of my room, blowing me a kiss as he closed the door.  I plopped back down on the bed, flailing my arms and legs in excitement.  A day alone with Drew.  It was exactly what I needed.
    Time was of the essence.  I needed to get out of the house before being discovered as the fraud that I was.  Twenty minutes and I was showered, dressed, and in my designated car on my way to rendezvous with the man I loved.
    Another thirty minutes later, Wyatt delivered me in front of a quaint little coffee shop.  I thanked my escort and slipped out of the car, finding myself staring at an old, refurbished house with brick red siding and bright white windows.  I skipped up the steep steps and opened the ornate white door.  A little bell chimed as I entered the edifice.  
    The smell of coffee alone made my mouth water, but adding in the scent of fresh baked pastries, I was in heaven.  Off in the corner sat Drew, pouring over a newspaper with a cup to his lips.  This was the Drew I loved the most.  His dark-green t-shirt had a picture of Darth Vader and the words ‘Sith Happens’ in thick white lettering.  His favorite bright yellow visor and sunglasses sat on the table next to his cell phone.  When he looked up at me, a smile widened across his face, making his dimples ever so prominent.
    Drew stood up and motioned for me to join him.  I danced around tables, making my way to him.  My eyes were focused on him and nothing else, so it shouldn’t have come a surprise when I tripped over my own two feet.  Drew’s hand was at my elbow helping me up from my humiliation before I could really register that I had literally face planted on the floor in front of him.
    “Are you okay?”
    I stood up straight, brushed myself off, and fought back the urge to cry.  My face was hot with embarrassment.  “Did you see that?  The floor jumped right out in front of me!”
    Drew let out a little chuckle and pulled me close into his arms.  I buried my face in his chest, wishing I could disappear from this nightmare.  “Maybe we should sue it for a hit and run.”
    I lifted my face to find him staring down at me.  He was a good foot taller than me, but the way he looked at me, you would’ve thought I was a supermodel.  In his arms, I felt like I was one.  “You’re the lawyer.  Do you think I have a case?”
    He cupped my face in his hands and placed the sweetest kiss to my lips.  There was a hint of peppermint and espresso on his mouth that was so inviting.  Our kiss deepened, and for a moment the whole world seemed to melt away.  His hands locked in
