Chapter146: 146

We fell asleep together, our naked bodies melding together almost as one. When the morning sun began to warm my face, I remembered the fun we’d had the night before and I smiled, running my fingers down his bare chest. Then I gasped and shot up, looking at the clock. “Oh, my God! Dad!” I shrieked, and his head shot up quickly. “What time did you have to be at work?” “Eight-thirty,” he answered. “It’s nine fifteen!” I said. “Oh, shit,” he muttered, jumping to his feet and hurriedly yanking on his pants. I heard the phone ringing down the hallway, and I ran to it. “Hello?” I answered. “Yes, I’m calling for Adam Dayton,” said a woman’s voice. I mind reeled. I needed to think of an excuse quickly. I didn’t want him to lose his job because of me. “He’s sick,” I said quickly. “I’m… taking him to the emergency room right now. Might be food poisoning.” “Oh, dear!” she gasped. “Well, I hope he’s alright. I’ll see if I can find someone to cover for him. Please tell him I hope he gets well soon.”
