Jack

I decided I needed to confront Ally. Nola had told me what she’d originally been texting about the morning after our little hook up.

I found myself wondering where we stood as I drove to the cafe where Ally agreed to meet. Without the blinding lust I’d had motivating me last night, I also found myself seeing through the holes in all the justifications I’d used to sleep with Nola. When she revealed the text had been a mistake, I could’ve backed out. We could’ve laughed it off and the only price to pay would’ve been my embarrassment for wanting it so badly.

That’s what a real father would’ve done.

Instead, I’d given in.

And fuck had it felt good.

But now thoughts of Ben were tormenting me. In the short time Nola and Griff had come into our lives, I’d watched my son change. Griff might not have been an entirely innocent influence on him, but he was getting Ben to open up. He wasn’t always buried in a sketchbook, and he actually played. I’d even seen him joining Griff in a pickup game of soccer when I’d come to pick him up from the park last week.

It was a complete transformation, and if Nola left, I feared he’d go right back to where he was. Worse, he’d be heartbroken all over again. It would be just like the first time he’d thought to ask why he didn’t have a mommy like his friends. He’d be losing that all over again, wondering if maybe he’d done something wrong.

Those were all the things I should’ve been thinking about last night instead of how tight Nola’s pussy had looked and how good it would feel to be inside her.

I parked outside the cafe and headed inside, ready to take out my frustrations on Ally.

She was sitting in a corner booth with big sunglasses on that covered half of her face and a caramel colored trench coat that made her look ridiculous like the villain of some kid’s movie.

I sat down across from her. I hadn’t realized how long it was since I’d seen her in person. Years, at least. Our contact had been exclusively limited to the times she decided to call, which were few and far between. And now she was here.

“What is it that you want?” I asked.

“Nice to see you too, Jack. I see you’ve been taking care of yourself.” She removed her sunglasses so I could watch her make a point of dragging her eyes across my body.

“I didn’t come here for small talk, Ally. What do you want?”

She slid her sunglasses back on and crossed her arms. “I want a chance to make things right with Ben.”

Irrational anger boiled up in me. “You chose not to be in his life.”

“And sometimes people grow. They learn to see mistakes they’ve made in the past and want to take steps to fix them.”

I stared at her. I couldn’t see anything through those stupid sunglasses except her mouth, which was unreadable. “You’re serious?”

“I want Ben to have a mom.
