Chapter Seventeen

MILA

Well, that wasn’t awkward or anything.

As soon as John leaves after lunch, I know things between us are never going to be the same. He can act like it never happened all he wants, but I know deep down he feels the connection just as much as I do.

I still can’t believe I fell asleep in his bed, then woke up in his arms. It was also the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. His large body engulfed mine, and I’d felt so safe and secure in his warm embrace. His breath tickled my neck, and when his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer, I moaned aloud at how amazing it felt.

As soon as the bed dipped and he was gone, I realized something was wrong.

Then reality set in. I was in John’s bed, wrapped up in him as his erection pressed against my butt.

The strangled groan that released from his throat the moment his eyes met mine told me everything I needed to know. He’s fighting his emotions, and the longer he pretends the connection between us doesn’t exist, the faster his walls are crumbling down.

Breakfast was another awkward moment, and even though I apologized for being in his bed, he’s blowing it off. I’m basically the major of pretending-shit-didn’t-happen-ville and queen of we’re-only-friends-land, but John Bishop deserves his own island for being the most confusing man on the planet.

“Alright, Maize.” I finish getting her dressed for the third time today. “No more blowouts, okay? Can we make a deal? You save them for when your daddy’s on duty, and I’ll put a good word in for you to get your own pony.”

She smiles up at me, warming my heart the way she does every time I talk to her. Her dark hair is getting longer, so I grab one of the bow headbands on her dresser to keep her hair back. She’s already changed so much in the couple of months I’ve been here, and it’s hard to believe she’s just over five months old. Watching her grow and change in just two months has been one of the most rewarding parts of this job. I saw how fast my twin sisters grew, but I didn’t appreciate it back then. Now they’re twelve years old, crushing over boys, and glued to their iPhones. They’ll officially be teenagers this summer.

I texted John shortly after lunch and asked about a stroller, so I could take Maize for a walk after her nap, and once I sent him a picture of what one might look like, he told me there was one in the storage shed behind the house.

“I need to get your daddy a picture book,” I tell Maize with a chuckle as I snap her car seat into the stroller. “Let’s go for a walk and get some sun. Whatcha say, baby girl?”

I place a little sun hat on her head, and she smiles for me, so I snap a picture and send it to John.
