Noahâs acting like heâs fine, but a mother knows. Heâs even demanding to go to school, but with his glassy eyes, warm forehead, and drippy noseâ¦not to mention acting like a sneeze machineâ¦heâs not going anywhere. I already called Isla and sheâs headed out of town with her boyfriend for the weekend. And my motherâs sciatica has gone crazy. And my dad has a bowling tournament. So, itâs me.
And I know what this presentation means to Ronan Marketing Inc, but I canât be in two places at once.
âI donât got the corn mungus. I wanna go to school,â Noah says, but snuggles in closer to me with a long shiver.
âItâs okayâ¦â I tell him, wrapping a blanket around him.
âWhatâs going on?â Daxâs voice softens.
âMyâ¦â I freeze. This could change everything. I havenât said anything about Noah to anyone at work. Plus, playboys donât like kids, right?
Heâs going to have to know sooner or later and right now, is sooner.
âI have a five-year-old son and heâs got a cold today. Nothing major, but I canât send him to school and get other kids sick. Iâm sorry, I canât do the presentation.â
Thereâs silence and I figure Iâm fired. At least I got to pick his brain on one idea.
One bad idea that might have really been bad and not good.
And got to be pricked by his manhood. There hasnât been an hour I havenât thought of our time on that conference table.
âWhere are you?â he asks.
âAt home.â
âAnd the address?â
âWhy?â
He wants to fire me in personâ¦great.
âBecause Iâm going to take care of your son while you do the presentation.â
Sirens go off in my head. âYeah, I donât think you want to do thatâ¦Mr.ââ
âIf you call me Mr. Ronan one more time, you will be fired, Anna. Iâm not going backwards in this relationship. Now, address, pleaseâ¦.â
âDax,â my heart beats faster saying his first name, âI donât know if I canâ¦â
âTrust me?â
âYes.â
âI have four nieces and two nephews. Iâve watched three of them at once when they were all under the age of five.â
âReally?â Sometimes Noah feels like three or more kids with his energy and intelligence.
âYes, really. I can give you references. My sister wonât hold back.â
âI donât know.â
Noahâs my everything.
âAnnaâ¦baby, you can trust me.â
I stare at Noah. âTwenty-two, fourteen Spaulding Street. Itâs a duplex with a blue front door.â
âIâll be there in ten.â
âAre you sure?â
âIâm sure I want to be a part of your life, and that means being a part of your sonâs life, too.â
âOkay.â
âAnd hey, whatâs his name?â
âNoah.â
âGreat. See you soon.â
I give Noah a hug. âLetâs get you froggy blanket.â
The blanket heâs had since birth and is his comfort item.
I tuck him into a human burrito, wrapped in the super soft Minky blanket.
âFroggy blanket always helps.â
âYes, he does.â
But can I trust Dax to help?
