Chapter Fifteen

Hadley

I stared out the window into the night sky as we sped across town in Blake’s zippy sports car. Riding high on exhaustion and elation, I reflected back on what had to be one of the best nights of my life. Tonight had been everything I’d dreamed about and more. People genuinely loved my food. They’d sought me out to deliver compliments and inquire about recipes. I couldn’t believe it! Here I was, eons away from that shy girl from Alabama whose one and only goal was to own her own bakery, living the dream. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, could ruin this moment for me. Not Blake’s posse of women. Not my mother and sister’s surprise visit. Nothing. I wanted to just sit back and ride this high forever.

“Your mom and sister are...interesting,” Blake said, pulling me from my reverie. My mother and sister were complete menaces. I couldn’t believe they crashed in my bed after I told them to sleep on the sofa.

“I’m glad you think so. At the moment, I’m not real fond of them.” His chuckle reverberated through the car, making me smile. “I apologize on behalf of my sister, by the way.” His brow furrowed in question. “For feeling you up, or should I say down,” I corrected. “She was obviously raised in a barn.”

“Sounds like Hunter’s kind of woman,” he muttered, and it was my turn to laugh. His head turned and his eyes were on me.

“What?” I asked, wondering what he was thinking.

“I like hearing you laugh. You don’t do it often enough,” he stated, before turning back to the road. His comment caught me off-guard.

“I don’t?” Surely he was mistaken. I laughed all the time, didn’t I?

“Not around me, you don’t, but don’t worry, I plan on remedying that.” I wasn’t sure what he meant by that but I liked the sound of it. Who was I kidding? I just plain liked him. It was too bad he had heartbreak written all over him. I didn’t doubt that Blake would make a great father. With his easy-going manner, happy disposition, and endless supply of patience, any kid would be lucky to call him Dad. A perfect father, however, didn’t necessarily translate into a perfect partner. Blake clearly had no problems attracting women. I mean, just look at the man. Each time we were alone together, I ended up with my tongue in his mouth. But that was just it, from the looks of it, so did every other woman in Charlotte.

“I can see the wheels spinning. Care to share?” The sound of his deep voice caused a shiver to roll through me, which was a clear reminder of how affected I was by him.

“I was just thinking about tonight,” I lied, and gasped when his hand latched onto mine and gently squeezed.

“I’ve been meaning to tell you that you did a great job tonight, babe.” My eyes closed at the sound of such a sweet endearment.

“Thanks,” I responded on a whispered sigh.
