“You can start wherever you want,” I said and climbed out of the car. “I’m going to the restroom.”
“You just went to the bathroom at that rest stop.”
“Yeah, which was over an hour ago.”
He just stared at me.
“You try being pregnant.”
He laughed. “No thanks. I like scotch too much.”
Very funny.I left everyone behind as I rushed into the country club. I waved to the hostess but didn’t hear anything she said as I went toward the bathrooms.
I pushed into the women’s room and sighed when I reached a stall. My poor bladder. I really needed to stop eating so much watermelon. It never stayed with me for long. Especially now that I was pregnant.
I heard the door open and close right before I flushed the toilet. I waited a beat for whoever it was to go into a stall. Despite having years of experience socializing at events I attended with James, Istill hated small talk. I waited a few seconds before stepping out of the stall.
“What are you doing?” I asked. “This is the women’s room.”
James smiled. “Like we weren’t just making out in a restroom a couple nights ago.”
“Don’t remind me of the Parrot Palace.” I washed my hands and grabbed a paper towel.
He stepped up to me, brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear. “If you needed to use the restroom, why didn’t you just tell Ian to stop somewhere?”
“Because I already made you guys stop at a rest stop and I could tell everyone thought it was annoying.” Children were the ones that were supposed to demand a road trip stop every hour. Not a grown ass woman.
“So you just held it?”
“Yes.” I knew it was silly.
“On the way back I’ll make sure we stop twice, okay? I’ll say it’s me.”
“They’re going to think you have a bladder infection.”
“I don’t care what they think. I need to make sure my pregnant wife doesn’t accidentally pee her pants.”
It was such a ridiculous statement to come out of my husband’s mouth. I would have laughed if it also wasn’t super sweet. “So did you follow me into the bathroom to tell me I’m silly? Or did you have something else in mind?” My eyes fell to his lips. I was pretty sure my sex drive was out of control. James didn’t seem to mind though.
“As tempting as that is…I think we should save the fun for the sex altar tonight.”
“Oh we’re actually doing that?”
“Of course.”
“So what exactly is it again?”
“I told you, you’re going to have to wait to find out.”
Damn it, I really needed to find out what happened on a sex altar. Bee would know. “Should we join everyone else?”
James put his arm out for me.
I wrapped my hand around his bicep and let him guide me out of the restroom. He didn’t seem at all perturbed by the fact that a few club members gave us weird looks when we walked out of the women’s restroom together. But I sure felt my cheeks turning red. Really…how did he never get embarrassed? I looked up at him as he escorted us outside.
“You’re so handsome,” I said.
He smiled down at me. “And you get more beautiful every day.”
