sister."
"Oh, yes you could have! And should have! Especially with her dropping in unannounced." He looked down at her. "What are we going to do with them?"
"The bowling alley does karaoke on Wednesdays. We could take them to karaoke."
Trey nodded after a moment. "Penny gets a headache when people sing off key. That's perfect."
"I only fixed enough dinner for two. Should we give it to them and eat at the bowling alley?"
"Absolutely not! If anyone is eating bowling alley food, it's them. What did you cook?" he asked, his hand skimming down her side as he leaned forward and kissed her softly.
"Just sloppy joes. I have the meat made up in the crock pot."
"Sounds good to me. We'll tell them since they were so rude as to come all this way without letting us know they were coming, or even being invited, they can eat at the bowling alley."
"Why would she think it was all right to try and set a newly married man up with her friend? That's not...normal." Cindy had never dreamed she would be in a situation like this, and she hoped it would be resolved quickly. She and Trey needed to adjust to each other without family influence.
Trey sighed. "Penny is ridiculous. She thinks whatever she wants will magically happen, just because she wants it. I haven't been able to convince her otherwise yet, but I will."
"So, you're not going to annul our marriage and marry Jean?"
He laughed. "I think we're past the point of an annulment, and I've never met Jean." He dropped a sweet kiss onto her lips. "I want our marriage to work. I've come to care about you." He was amazed at how much closer he felt to her now that they had a 'common enemy.' Penny was good for something it seemed.
Cindy smiled at him, thrilled by his words. They weren't the declaration of love she wanted, but they were better than nothing. "I want it to work, too. I'm sorry I've been difficult."
He sighed. "I think I understand now. Oh, and I'm going to take you up on your offer since Penny is here. Do we know how long she's staying?"
"No idea how long she's staying. What offer?" She wanted to climb right back onto his lap and offer him everything, but she didn't think that would be smart at the moment.
"The offer to share your bed. I don't want Penny to realize we're sleeping apart." He skimmed his hand over her hair. "And I missed you last night. Even if we don't make love, I want to be able to hold you while we sleep. And I miss hearing the soft sounds you make while you sleep."
"Soft sounds? Are you accusing me of snoring?" She frowned at him.
He shrugged. "Maybe a sweet, friendly snore."
She made a face. "Cissie said that in college too, but I was sure she was lying."
He grinned. "Nope. But I like it!"
She shook her head with a laugh. "I'd love it if you moved back into our room. Not just for Penny's visit. Forever."
"Does that mean we can—"
Cindy sighed. "Let's play that by ear. I don't feel like we should, but it's really hard to say no to you."
"It is?" His eyes lit up at the idea. "You like it?"
She laughed. "I've told you I do. I just don't quite feel right about it yet. Give me a week?"
Trey groaned, pulling her against him good naturedly. "I don't want to, but I will."
"I guess I need to take your sister's luggage up to her."
"I'll do it. You go do whatever you were planning to do."
"I was just going to make potato salad to go with our sloppy joes."
He stood, walking over to his desk and picking his clothes up from the floor, pulling them on with quick, efficient moves. "You go cook. I'll deal with Penny."
"And Jean." Cindy waited until he was dressed before she hurried back to the kitchen. She hated the idea of him spending time with the girl who'd come there thinking she was going to be his girl. What kind of messed up person was his sister to try to find a girlfriend for her newly married brother?
