The hospital we were at released me after my x-rays came back. Everything was fine. Just some rest.

We had been driving for about 3 hours now. I’d slept most of the way. At times id wake and notice she was crying. I also noticed her phone was going off like crazy until she turned it off.

I’d ask a little later. Now id just give her time and space.

She pulled of to the side of the road.

“Want me to take over?” I asked. Knowing that with the amount of crying shed been doing she was exhausted.

She agreed.

She slept the rest the way until we hit San Francisco. By now it was past one in the morning. I taped her shoulder. Until she woke up. I really wanted to wake her with a kiss.

“I have a house in Stinson Beach, Which is now only 45 minutes from here. It’s really late so you’re better off staying with me tonight.”

I figured she didn’t need to deal with getting a room late at night. Specialy this late.

“Ok”

She kept starring at me.

After a few minutes I figured might as well ask

“Yes?”

“Why are you wearing a tux?”

I’m not sure if I was ready to answer that. At least not until I was safe at my beach house.

“Why is your whole closet in your back seat? And don’t tell me it was to go to San Francisco, because that’s a years worth of clothes.”

She smiled. She knew I was on to her.

“I’ve never been to san Francisco. I just moved to west Hollywood 2 years ago, before I was in New York and Erica always complained I was never adventures.”

I noticed she didn’t answer me about the clothes. Id let that be for now.

The rest of the way we just discussed things about one another.

Before we knew it I was parking in front of my beach house.

“It’s beautiful, Bette”

“Thanks, its kind of late so ill give you a quick tour. You’ll get the special tour in the morning.”

“Ok. I am a little tired.”

“Hungry? Or thirsty? I have a bar if you want a specific drink?”

“Im okay, just water if you have it?”

I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and led her to the spare bedroom after the quick tour.

We said our thank yous and good nights.

I for some reason couldn’t sleep.

Had a shot of patron to relax me and sat on the couch. Asking my self the one question that would make it all makes since to me again.

Tina Kennard, who are you?

What I was really concerned about was why I haven’t thought of the bride I left behind.

I doze off with the hot blonde that was just a few walls away on my mind.
