Chapter 21

Miles

I awaken to the sound of knocking on Lizzie's apartment door. I run my hand over my face and glance at my watch. Shit. That'll be Thomas at the door. I sent him a message last night, letting him know the situation and that I would be needing a clean suit today. He has the code to my penthouse and said it wasn't a problem. I figured I’d be awake by now. Normally, I am, that's for sure, but when Lizzie is asleep next to me, I sleep better than ever before. She comforts me in ways almost impossible to comprehend. I take a moment to look down at the sleeping angel in my arms, and my heart wants to burst from my chest. God, I am a lucky bastard to have her. I hear my phone vibrating and know it is Thomas telling me to get my ass up. I chuckle softly to myself to keep from waking Lizzie. Sliding out of the bed, I pull the blanket up around her neck and look around for last night’s clothes. When I pick them up, I remember how drenched they got from the snow and rain. Fuck, I can't answer the door naked. Thomas has obviously seen some things in his time with me, but he doesn't need to see that, and neither does Lizzie's roommate, Sarah. I glance around and see a robe hanging on the back of the door. Rushing over, I pull it on the best I can and tie the straps. It doesn’t take a mirror to know this thing barely covers my ass. One wrong move in any direction and something is going to be showing. I scrub my hand over my face knowing I have no other options. A sigh slips from me as I pull open Lizzie's bedroom door. The cool morning air comes rushing in and bites my sensitive areas. I am taken back as I jump a bit at the sudden temperature change.

​Shuffling to the door, I try to hold the front and the back of the robe in place. I look through the peep hole to make sure it is, in fact, Thomas; I don't want to give anyone else a show. As I unlock the door and open it, I see Thomas' expression change to horror as he eyes me up and down.

​"Well, this is definitely a different look for you, sir. Purple looks good on you." He chuckles as he hands me my suit.

​"Laugh all you want. There wasn’t anything else. That's why you are here. Thank you for this, by the way. You're a life saver," I state, gesturing to the clothes. I hang them beside the door and turn back to him.

​"Of course, sir. Here are your coffees. Will you need a ride to work this morning, or will you be taking your car?

​"I'll take my car today, so I can spend a bit of time with Lizzie before I head into the office. Thank you for grabbing these coffees, as well.
