Romance: First Time and Pregnant With The Navy Seal (Stepbrother, Military, Romance) by Scarlett Skye Page B

 It was probably still sitting there, gathering cow smell.  She groaned inwardly.  It was her favourite coat too, and now it was going to stink like cows.
     
    “I left it at the farm.”
     
    “Oh shoot,” her sister answered, making a face.  She had probably thought the same thoughts as Cerise had about the smell.  “I’ll call the teacher tomorrow, she can see if someone brought it back.”
     
    But no one had, so the teacher gave them the phone number for the farm.  And it was such a nice coat too.  She decided to call the farm, maybe someone there had picked it up, hopefully someone hadn’t found it and kept it.
     
    “Hi,” she said when someone answered the phone.  “I was there with a school field trip yesterday, and I think I left my coat behind in the cow milking barn.”
     
    “I haven’t heard about it,” said the woman on the other end.  “But hold on, I’ll put you through to the milking barn.”
     
    Barns have phones now?  Cerise wondered to herself, as she waited on hold.  Apparently there was a lot more to farms than she thought.  She checked her watch quickly, barns might have phones, but that didn’t mean they got answered quickly.  She was just thinking about hanging up when someone answered.
     
    “Hello?” A man’s voice came over the line.  “What can I do you for?”
     
    “Hi.  I think I left my coat there while I was on a field trip yesterday.”
     
    “A long black one?”
     
    “Yeah, it is.  It’s like a wool on the outside, and kind of satin-y on the inside.”
     
    The line was quiet for a moment.  “You the lady who came up to milk the cow?”
     
    “Yeah.”
     
    “Then it looks like I have your coat.  Would you like me to bring it into the city for you?”
     
    “Oh no, that’s not necessary.  I can drive out there.”
     
    The man’s voice laughed, “it’s not a problem.  I have to go out to the city tonight, anyway.  I can bring the coat with me, and drop it off.”
     
    “That sounds great.”
     
    He named a coffee shop, one that was actually quite near her apartment, and she agreed to meet him there that evening.  It might not be a date, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to spend the evening with a handsome man like that.  She hung up the phone, and smiled to herself.  Absentmindedly, she started to hum while she worked, suddenly it seemed like a very good day.
     
    She arrived at the coffee shop first.  She bought herself a mocha latte, and sat down at a table facing the door.  He came in at exactly the time he had said he would.  His broad frame seemed to fill the entire doorway.  His green button down shirt and jeans were rumpled.  He saw her and swept the dark brown cowboy hat off his head, her coat draped over one arm.  He smiled when he saw her, and headed for her table.  
     
    “I believe this is for you,” he said, draping it across the table.
     
    “Thanks.  Do you have time to sit?  Have a coffee?” she asked, gesturing to the seat across from her.
     
    It looked like he was thinking about it for a moment, and then sat down.  She pulled her coat off the table, and hung it over the back of her chair..
     
    “You didn’t have to make a special trip.  I wouldn’t have minded going out there.”
     
    “I know.  But I don’t mind coming here either.”
     
    “Oh, that’s right.  You said you had something to do anyway.  I don’t want to keep you from doing something you need to.”
     
    “Nah, you aren’t keeping me from anything important.”
     
    He stood up, and went to order a coffee.  She could hear him talking to the serving girl, both of them laughing.  He had such a pleasant laugh.  After a few minutes, he came back to the table, and sat down.  They sat awkwardly for a few moments, each twisting their cups around in their hands, not quite sure how to start.
     
    Once they started talking, neither one could stop.  They talked all about the farm, and her job at city hall.  Then they moved
