Babes Stripping For Love

59. A New Day



Last night they were supposed to have a lovely night out, but it ended badly because Heather decided to show up and mess with Cassidy’s head. Rowan tried to calm her down and helped Cassidy open up. He tried to make her talk to him, but he failed and ended up having to let her have her privacy after numerous tries to find out what Heather said when they were alone.

He knew last night Cassidy left his house with a positive attitude, he actually thought they were going to have a nice date night. All was going well, up until he saw his ex. He knew that Heather was vicious, she could bring anyone down, and that was just how she was.

Heather even admitted years ago that she felt smug after she made the chairman of one of her woman’s associations cry. Thinking back years behind, Rowan remembered that Heather was doing it just because she wanted to be the center of attention.

And since last night Cassidy was the center of his attention, there was no doubt that Heather said something that upset her. At least she lets him cuddle her and they both sleep better knowing they were in each other’s arms.

“Cass? Cassie? Open the door baby, what’s the matter?” Rowan tried to open the bathroom door, but it was locked from the inside. He tried to open it again, then started knocking when her sobs were heard from his side of the door.

“I’ll be right out,” she shouted from behind the door, but seconds later she popped her head out. “I’m okay. Just give me a minute and uh, can you get my big handbag? I… um, need to get my pads.” Cassidy’s cheeks tinted pink, her eyes were red from all the crying while she smiled shyly at him.

“Oh… oh,” the realization dawned on him and he quickly search for her big handbag and brought it to her.

“I’ll make us some coffee,” he said as he gave her the handbag. She nodded and thanked him, after telling him that she’d join him later.

Cassidy looked more relaxed after she took a shower, she smiled at him and walked into his embrace the second he saw her and opens his arms.

“I’m sorry, I thought I was, but then I’m not… it was a weird feeling. But then maybe it was my hormones messing with my mind, I don’t know… just, just hold me,” she said resting her cheek on his chest and letting him rub circles on her back, soothingly.

“What do you want to do today?”

“Mm… I need to get pads, then a visit to my Obgyn for birth control pills.” She took the cup of coffee from his hand and sighed happily as the bitter-sweet coffee taste invades her taste buds. “Then I have a brunch with my girls from Babes,”

“What time do you want to leave? I’ll take you there, then I’ll pick you up after brunch?”

“You don’t have to, I’m sure you have stuff to do. I can get there by myself you know.”

“You can, but I want to. Let me take a quick shower then I’ll be your driver for the day.” Rowan leaned down for a quick kiss on her lips before he leave her to enjoy her coffee. He was already making a mental note to get her a driver since the distance between her campus and his house was longer than her apartment. He definitely does not want her to go back to her apartment, having her at his place feels right and he wanted to take care of her. He wanted to make sure she had someone looking after her, someone like him.

Cassidy pouted when he dropped her off at the lovely diner and decided to accompany her since she was the first one to arrive.

“You know I’m perfectly fine waiting on my friends alone, right?”

“I know, I just wanted a quick breakfast before leaving you with your friends.” He shrugged, not at all bothered by her annoyance. Though deep down Cassidy was liking his caring side, she never did have a boyfriend. She paused at the thought of him as her boyfriend, the feeling was all new, and after last night she desperately needs her friends.

Rowan was sipping his second cup of morning coffee and had just finished off his pancake breakfast when Bree and Dee entered the diner. Both women looked surprised that a man was with Cassidy and not just any man, he was the talk about silver fox. So Cassidy was not at all shocked when she heard giggles from her girlfriends.

“Oh come on, you got your guys, stop with the schoolgirl attitude and stop being sickening flirty.” Cassidy greeted them with warm hugs then she introduced Rowan to them, not that they didn’t know who he was already.

“Just so you know, we really appreciate that you take care of our girl. But know that if you hurt her, I will personally hunt you down.”

“And then what Dee?” Cassidy rolled her eyes and sits down on her chair.

“I have ways, don’t underestimate my ability that’s all I’m saying. Right, Bree?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Um right.” Bree smiled, still a bit awkward and she nodded her agreement making Cassidy laugh. She missed her friends and she misses being at Babes.

“Alright, I think I’ll leave you girls to talk more about me. Cassie, text me later and I’ll pick you up.” Rowan got up and gave Cassidy a quick kiss on her lips which made Dee sigh exaggeratedly and make Bree laugh a bit too loud for the tranquil morning vibes.

Rowan was out the door when Cassidy slumped in her chair and Dee on her like a dog with a bone. She just wouldn’t let go and Bree kept on giggling, almost choking on her glass of water.

Both women put on their order then Dee was the first to clap her hands looking a bit too giddy for Cassidy to spill.

“So, tell me, he good?”

“Oh, my god,” Cassidy felt the regret already, as she let out another eye roll which made Bree giggle again.

“Damnnn… that good huh?” Dee smirked telling her that she had made her very proud.

“I’m not telling you anything,” Cassidy insisted which only made Dee nod in eagerness waiting patiently for the sexy details caring nothing about properness.

“Uh-huh…” Bree chimed in shamelessly, maybe it was the proximity but she was undoubtedly vibing with Dee.

“Oh my god, this is why I kept on avoiding both of you. And I’m not pregnant by the way.”

Both women sighed and relaxed bain in their chairs. “Cass, we’ll take whatever crumbs you throw at us. It’s the age thing, girl let us live vicariously through you, but please take a pill, a condom, anything.” Dee sipped her morning chocolate milkshake, then pause to smirk and lick the maple syrup off of the fork of her pancake scandalously.

Cassidy shook her head until she finally gave up and told them to listen and listen well. “Okay apart from the great sex, the age thing is a bit of a struggle. Like last night, he took me to his company’s event, introduced me to people then his ex showed up with a younger guy as a date. But the point is I bumped into her I’m the ladies and she was talking shit about me, I mean I know, she’s a first-class bitch and Rowan knows about this and told me to stay away from her, but still,”

“Oh, fuck.” Bree cursed her anger showing on her flushed cheeks.

“Who’s this bitch?” Dee questioned, her words were cold as ice.

“She’s the marry-rich bitch, she marry Rowan and is now pissed off because he divorced her.”

They dissed Heather-bitch for the next three hours then ended their brunch with a promise to meet up again next week. Cassidy felt better, she needed that. She needed her best friends.
