"Oh shit, I'm so sorry."

"Don't be." I whispered in his ear.

"Throw me a towel, will you?"

I nodded and went back into the bedroom and retrieve a towel and handed it to him. Man, I want to see so bad, but it'd be so wrong. I put on my robe and looked at him with excitement in my eyes.

"Sorry." God, he's so sexy shirtless holy fuck.

"What?" He realized I was staring at him.

"Your shirtless and um..."

He smirked. "I get it, you dig my muscles."

I blushed and didn't say anything. While he showered, I sat down on the couch and turned on the TV.

The weather channel was the first thing to pop up and as I went through the channels, I see my face on the screen. What the hell? Images flash across the screen and soon fade as Hunter appears on the screen. 

"My guess is that by targeting my wife, the shooter was trying to eliminate me from the elections. If anyone has any details on the shooter involved, I beg you to let me know. I just want her home so we can get back to normal and focus on making your lives easier by re-electing me."

I turn off the TV and nearly throw the remote across the room. How dare him! He fucking uses this situation to increase his ratings! The smug bastard! I try to maintain myself when Warren comes out of the bathroom, but he heads into the kitchen, not seeing me. I hear cabinets opening and closing before he comes into the living room.

"Looks like there's no food here, so we have to go into town to get some groceries."

"We?" My mood changes from angry to happy as the idea comes to my head of getting to spend some outside time with him. After seeing that bullshit, I need something to get my mind off of everything.

"Of course. We can get some food if you'd like. One of my friends owns a restaurant."

"Is it even safe for me to go out in public?"

He chuckled. "I know this place, so don't worry. No one will even recognize you."

"You sure?"

"Absolutely. I'll keep you safe."

I blushed. "I know." As he gives me a shy smile, my heart melts.

"But if you want to stay here, that's fine too."

"I want to be with you." He smiled which made me smile. "You should smile more often, I love seeing you smile." He blushed. God, why is he so attractive?
