Do You Still Love Me When We Meet Again? (Aubrey and Damon) novel Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Shut Up, You Stupid Robot

“Yeah,” Aubrey managed a small nod. After being apart for a while, she felt a sudden wave of shyness. She stood there, a bit siff, unsure of with herself. Did you cancel your leave and go back to the base after I left for Crestview?

Damon’s eyes softened. “Yeah,” he said, his tone easy. “I only took the time off to be with you. If you weren’t there, there was no point in saying

“Oh.” Aubrey looked down. She realized then that she’d completely misread him over the last few days.

If he was at the base, he’d be buried in work. He wouldn’t be able to just pull out his phone and text her, let alone disclose his location.

As for that “Nothing he’d sent that night? He was probably just being tight–lipped for security reasons. It was a misunderstanding, nothing more Aubrey looked down and chuckled softly. She was acting strange. He hadn’t even explained himself yet, and here she was, making up excuses for him. She was doing the work for him.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her, but her heart was clearly leaning toward Damon.

Need any help? Damon asked.

Aubrey shook her head. “No, I’m good. I’m all finished.

Damon pointed to the pile of boxes on the floor. What about those?”

Aubrey glanced at the gifts, then back at him. Those are for your brother and sister–in–law, your parents, Tracy, and your grandpa”

Damon waited for a beat, expecting more. When he realized she was done, he frowned. “Where’s mine?”

Didn’t you say just bringing myself back was enough?” she teased.

Damon looked disappointed. “So everyone gets a gift but me?”

I didn’t know what you’d like,” she said. “Besides, I didn’t think you were missing anything.”

Anything. As long as it’s from you, I-‘ Damon stopped mid–sentence, trailing off. He looked down, closing his eyes as he took a long, steadying breath. He forced himself to calm down before meeting her gaze again. Fine. Honestly? I’m just glad you’re home.”

Aubrey broke into a grin. She turned toward the pile of gifts, grabbed two boxes, and stepped back in front of him. “I was just messing with you. Of course I got you something. These are for you.”

The disappointment on Damon’s face vanished instantly. A wide smile lit up his features. He shoved his car keys into his pocket and reached out, taking he two boxes from her hands.

Open them,” she said, her eyes full of anticipation. Tell me if you like them.

Damon Blackwood dropped into a lounge chair. He set the gift box on the coffee table and yanked the pink ribbon loose.

Sierra had picked this out for her. She hadn’t even let her look inside, swearing that Damon would love it.

Aubrey was curious, too. What kind of gift could Sammi be so sure Damon would love? She sat in the chair across from him

The moment Damon opened the lid, Aubrey froze. Her brain went completely blank. Why the hell was there black lace Damon froze. He stared at the gift in the box, his long fingers hooking onto two thin, black straps. He slowly pulled A sheer, wispy piece of black lace slid out of the box.

The tips of Damon’s ears were burning red. He looked at Aubrey’s flushed face, finding her embarrassment incredibly cute. He couldn’t help but chuckle, turning toward the window to try and cool his racing heart.

Once he’d composed himself, Damon reached out again. “Since you already bought it, just give it to me. I actually really like it.”

“You’re not allowed to like it!” Aubrey shook her head frantically, her face turning an even deeper shade of crimson. She tried to play it cool. This is not staying in this house.”

It was a gift from your best friend. It’d be a waste to throw it away.” Damon looked dead serious, though he couldn’t hide the smirk tugging at his lips. “Keep it. It’ll come in handy later.”

Aubrey was dying of shame. She scrambled to shove the dress back into the box, slammed the lid shut, and ran to hide it in a cabinet. She leaned her back against the cabinet door, her eyes shy and shimmering. That gift is canceled. Just open the other one I got you.”

Damon didn’t say anything, just kept smiling. His heart was still fluttering. He picked up the second box and slowly opened it.

Inside was a small astronaut robot. Genuinely happy, he pulled it out to examine it before setting it on the table and hitting the power switch The little astronaut suddenly spoke. “Hello, Master. I’m Aero. I’m your chat bot. Let’s explore the universe and talk about life together.”

Damon let out a soft laugh, his deep eyes glowing with a warm, tender light. He glanced at Aubrey, then back at the little robot. “Aero, do you like me?” Master is handsome, charming, and absolutely irresistible,” Aero chirped. “Everyone loves Master, and Aero loves Master very much.”

Damon’s smile widened. “And does Aubrey Hayes like me?”
