Chapter Twenty-Two

Eric stood outside the door to Blythe’s new apartment and peered at Blake through the gap allowed by the safety chain.

“She doesn’t want to see you, dude.” Blake looked a bit too smug about it for Eric’s liking, but then he’d pretty much deserved whatever they were going to dish up.

What they didn’t realize, but they would, is that he wasn’t going away without seeing her. “I get that,” he said. “And I really don’t blame her, but I need to make it right. Tell her that I’m sorry.”

“You made her cry.” Blake’s expression hardened. “And she didn’t even cry when Brett broke her arm.”

“Fuck.” He couldn’t believe what an unmitigated asshole he’d been to her. “Please, Blake.” He would beg all night if he had to. “I know I don’t deserve it but let me in to talk to her. I’ll do anything to fix this.”

Blake stared at him.

Eric let him see his intention.

“You gonna stay out there all night if I don’t let you in?” Blake sniffed.

If that’s what it took. “Yup.”

“You’re a dick.”

“You’re right, I am.”

With a huge sigh Blake shut the door. The chain made a scraping noise as he disengaged it, and then opened the door properly. “She’s gonna kill me but if what you’ve got to say will make her stop crying, it’s worth it.”

“Thank you.” Eric shot through the gap into the apartment. He didn’t want to take any chances with Blake changing his mind.

Will stood in the kitchen giving him an even dirtier look than the one Blake had bent on him. “What is he doing here?” he asked Blake.

“Says he needs to fix what he did.”

“He’s not what Blythe needs.” Will looked Eric in the eye, the challenge clear. “He needs to leave Blythe alone, is what he needs to do.”

People kept telling him that, and he didn’t like it any more now than the first time he’d heard it. He liked it even less that they were right.

If he couldn’t give Blythe what she wanted, deserved, then he needed to respect her and care for her enough to step aside. It’s what any decent guy would do.

The apartment was on the small side with some of the ugliest furniture he’d ever seen. She’d rejected his overt offers of help, so he’d gone behind her back a little. Made sure she could afford the deposit and used influence with the landlord to keep her rent low.

Everything was neat and clean, and Blythe had added those little touches of hers. The fresh flowers on the kitchen island. The poster of her favorite Degas sketch on the wall. The big bright white wicker basket of toys in the corner.

His heart filled with pride in her. She’d worked years to make it so, but Blythe had made a home for herself, Will and Kim. Now it looked like she’d taken Blake under her wing as well.

One day she would make the same kind of home with a man in it. A man who wouldn’t be him.
