Carolina Rodriguez

"I promise that I can." I said as she filled our bowls and came over to sit beside of me.

I smiled. "I'm glad. So how long have you been out here?" I asked, not remembering if I'd asked him that already or not.

"Almost a year, now." I took a bite of the stew "Mmm. This is pretty good." I told her and then a knock sounded on the door. I got up and checked out the window. "It's Ethan." I told her and opened the door "Yeah? What's up?"


"Hey, I wanted to come by and let you know that Timber and Darlene had the babies."


"No shit? On the same evening?" I asked and he nodded "Alright, let me get my shirt and boots on and I'll be right there."


"Why are you partially undressed?" I asked him while I smirked to myself.


"Accident at the river, smartass. But everything's okay, just wait up and I'll be right out." Nosey bastard. I closed the door back "I need to get over to the infirmary but I'll be back in the morning. Will you be okay tonight?"

"Yeah of course, I'll be fine. Thank you again... so much for what you did for Logan. I can't thank you enough," I said and leaned up to kiss his cheek.

She kissed my cheek and then I leaned down to kiss her back, allowing my lips linger on her cheek for a moment. "You're very welcome."

I smiled, feeling myself blush, and put my hand over where he'd kissed me for a moment. "Will I see you soon?"

"I'll be here tomorrow after my responsibilities are finished. Goodnight, Carolina." I said and walked out, closing the door behind me and I waited to hear her pull the lock in place. "Not a word, Ethan. I mean it." He just chuckled and we walked to the Infirmary.

I smiled and just stood there for a few minutes then started to clean up the kitchen. I checked on Logan then picked up the rest of the house before getting ready for bed. I slid in behind him in bed, not wanting to be away from him tonight, and held him to me, my mind on Mason as I drifted off to sleep.

We got to my house and went in. I couldn't have stopped smiling if I tried as I watched him put Logan to bed.

I put Logan to bed and tucked him in. Once he was settled and I knew he wouldn't wake back up I left the room and closed his door behind me. "He's really wore out this evening."

I smiled at him. "He really is. He had such a great time though. Thank you..."

She had a beautiful smile. "You're welcome. Did you have a good time?"

"I did. I really enjoyed having dinner and talking with you," I said and blushed a little. "Did you have a good time?" 

I smiled. "I had an amazing time, actually."

I blushed a little at the way he was looking at me. "I'm glad," I said softly, smiling back at him.

I stepped closer to her, closing some of the distance between us. I knew it was obvious that I was checking her out but I couldn't stop, she was gorgeous. "I want to kiss you, so damn bad right now."

My breath caught and I felt myself blush a little harder. "I want you to kiss me too," I whispered, my eyes not leaving his.

That was all of the encouragement I needed as I lowered my mouth to her's and kissed her softly. It was all could do not to groan, she tasted sweeter than I ever imagined. I forced myself to pull back slowly and put my forehead against her's "Goodnight."

It took me a minute to find my voice. "G-goodnight," I whispered and leaned up, kissing him softly, lingering for a moment before forcing myself to pull back. God I did not want him to leave, even though I knew he probably should. "Goodnight Mason," I whispered again.

"Goodnight, Gorgeous." I kissed her forehead and reluctantly left.

I watched as he left and sighed as the door closed. I went to change and went to bed.
