Chapter Nine

Lila

Today is the first day that Hollis is coming with me to take Maddie to school. In these last few weeks, she’s gotten super attached to him. When I watch them together, it makes my heart happy. Hollis never gets tired of her or acts like she’s being annoying with her endless questions. I hate that she’s missed out on all this stuff because Travis decided to fuck someone else. After he left, I spent months trying to find him. But either no one really knew anything or they didn’t want to tell me. Which in hindsight was probably a good thing, because that’s when I found out he’d been cheating on me.

“Are you okay, cupcake?” he asks, snapping me out of my pity party.

“Yeah, it’s just sometimes I still wonder why Travis left us the way he did. How could he leave Maddie? The one thing I’m grateful for is that she doesn’t remember him. And the few times she asked where her daddy was, I just told her that he had to go away and maybe one day he’d be back. I never wanted to lie to her. Even if it hurt me.”

Hollis wraps his arms around me. “You’re the best mom Maddie could ever have. No matter what life has thrown at you, you’ve always done what’s best for her. Maddie is a lucky little girl.”

“Now that we have you, we’re both lucky. We should get going, morning traffic is crap around the school.”

“Okay, baby,” he says as he stretches. Then he gets up and heads into the bathroom. “I’ll be out in a few minutes.”

I watch him walk away. I love watching his butt flex when he walks. I think his muscles have muscles. A lot of the MC guys are built like my Hollis, like it's a prerequisite to be a part of the club or something. Muscular, tattoos, and sexy as sin.

I stretch and roll out of bed to follow him into the bathroom. We’ve gotten pretty comfortable around each other. Well, enough to brush our teeth and shower together. We still haven’t had sex again, even with all the showers and teasing. I love that Hollis is letting me take this slow. I told him I’d like us to get to know each other better first.

I watch him shower through the glass doors. Times like this make me want to rethink the no sex rule. Damn him with his sexy muscles and tight ass. Okay. Look away, Lila. I finish brushing my teeth and go to wake Maddie up.

“Come on Maddie, time to get up,” I say as I kiss her tiny face.

“So early, Mama.” She yawns.

“Same time every school day, munchkin.”

She giggles and rolls out of bed.

“Make sure you brush your teeth and then come down for breakfast,” I say to her as I leave her room.

“Okay Mama, I set my quacky timer.”

Hollis bought her a timer that has a baby duck pop up every thirty seconds, making a quacking sound. It helps Maddie brush her teeth.
