Chapter Fifteen

ARLO

Last night was more than I dreamed of. I couldn’t sleep without replaying that scene over and over in my head. I had to finally wrap my hand around my cock before I found relief and eventually sleep.

The chances of us doing that was very slim, yet it did. My emotions are all over the place when I wake up.

Pining for a woman that’s the same age as my daughter.

Regret for letting things go that far.

Guilt for allowing it to happen with Rosie’s friend.

Fuck, I’m screwed in every sense.

It’s not until I’m making my way to the kitchen that I notice she’s there. I honestly thought she’d be up and out of the house by now.

My pretty Girasol is stirring a spoon in a mug, presumably coffee, with how the place smells. I stare for a moment at her profile as she doesn’t hear me.

“Bueno,” I call out and she spins from the counter to look at me. Her eyes bug out for a moment, like I caught her in an act. It looks absolutely adorable on her.

Stop, stop thinking about her like that. I try to chastise myself. But it’s no use, having her under my roof is not helping whatsoever.

“Good morning,” she responds with a little pep in her step as she makes her way to the island and plops on a barstool.

I make my own way to the fridge to pull out some leftovers from last night’s grill to heat up. It’s not hard to feel her eyes on me with every movement. There’s a moment after taking the plate out of the microwave where our eyes meet and her cheeks turn bright pink. She attempts to cover her face with the mug as she takes a long sip.

I lean over the island as I take a few bites of the leftover hotdogs cut into bite-sized pieces.

“Any plans today?” she asks softly. I look up from where I’m leaning and she’s tapping the side of the mug with her manicured nails.

“Make more progress on the basement… or at least attempt to.”

She hums before nodding. “Rosa told me about that. How long will that take?”

Her curious eyes make my chest flutter. I clear my throat before responding, “A few months since I still have to work. I might try to fit in some time in the evening if I really need to. So let me know if it ever gets too loud.”

She’s quiet for a moment before nodding. Her eyes scan the room before they land back on me. I take a few more bites from the plate as I wait for her to reply.

“What if Rosa moves?”

Her voice is soft, as if treading lightly on the topic. It just makes me feel more guilty for the wall that instantly goes up. I don’t want to think about that what if. Rosie is staying. I’m building her a place to have as her own.

“She won’t,” I simply state.

“But what if she does? Rosa said yesterday–”

“No me importa, she’s staying.
