Chapter Eight

The next morning, Garrett paused on the threshold of his new house and took a calming breath. Today was the day he moved in with Kiersten. The day he could start trying to win her over. But if he wanted to do that? He needed to keep his hands to himself, or he would lose the battle before he’d even begun. He couldn’t kiss her. Couldn’t forget his role in this new family of his. If he won her heart, he wanted to do it the right way. Through his actions…not through the bedroom.

He wouldn’t fight dirty.

No matter how hard it was to keep his hands to himself around her. And man, it was hard. He pulled his key out of his pocket and unlocked the door. Chris was sitting on the couch playing PlayStation, and Kiersten was nowhere to be found. She was probably at her desk, which was now in her bedroom. He was getting her former office, and the other room would be for their baby.

Their baby. Even thinking it made him tremble. He still couldn’t quite wrap his head around the fact that he’d gotten Kiersten pregnant. That they’d made a life with their one night together.

He walked into the living room. He hesitated at the threshold, uncertain how the boy would react to him after last night. “So, this is how you spend Saturday mornings?”

“Yeah. Pretty much.” Chris paused the game but didn’t put the controller down. “You gonna keep talking to me, or are we done?”

Garrett sighed. “Yeah. I’d like to talk for a minute. I’m waiting for your uncle.”

“Gotcha.” Chris set the controller down on the table. “So, this is the day, huh?”

Garrett nodded. “Whatcha playing?”

“Call of Duty. Zach’s online with me.” Chris looked at him. “You play?”

“I do. I have a bunch of other games, too.” He shrugged, trying to look as if Chris’s answer didn’t matter. “You can play them if you want.”

Chris hesitated, torn between his desire to look mad and his interest in the games. “Got the new NBA one?”

Garrett snorted. “Of course I do. I preordered it months ago.”

Chris’s eyes lit up. “Sweet.”

“Yeah.” He rubbed his head. “Maybe we can play together. You know, once I’m moved in.”

Chris looked away from him. “Yeah. Maybe.”

He picked the controller back up and resumed playing. Garrett walked away, feeling a little bit more confident of his welcome here. Well, with Chris, anyway.

“You’re here,” Kiersten said, coming down the stairs. She looked gorgeous and fresh faced, even though she just wore yoga pants and a pink T-shirt that said, Warning: I’m an editor. “I thought I heard the door open.”

“Yeah.” He tossed his keys back and forth in his hands, feeling like an idiot for standing there looking up at her with nothing to say. Things were so damn awkward between them now. Apparently getting your friend pregnant messed things up. Go figure. “You can keep working. I brought reinforcements to help.”

He pointed over his shoulder just as Mike pulled up into the driveway.
