Chapter 12

Amie

I finish off my last bite of pork chop with applesauce and moan for the tenth time. Any man that can cook this good has to be trustworthy. Right? Even though Grey has addressed a lot of my issues before and during our dinner conversations, I am still leery due to my past. There is no denying that I want him physically and my heart doesn’t seem too far behind.

“Are you lost in that head of yours again?” I look up to see Grey staring at me. “Let me clean up the dishes and I’ll get you some dessert.” He begins to take my plate, but I reach out, placing my hand on top of his.

“Maybe we can skip dessert and you can give me that tour you’ve been so set on first.” The smile he flashes me would curl any woman’s toes. I’m not sure how he’s still single. I’m also not sure how much longer I’ll be able to resist him. I listen to him as he tells me about the house, showing me around. Everything about it really is beautiful. He’s taken care of this place. There are a few things that need updating but I think that will always be the case with a home like this. It doesn’t seem like a chore, though, to get any of it done. It feels like something you would do with pride. It’s the perfect house to raise a family in. Because at the end of the day that is what this house screams. It is meant to house one. To have little feet pitter-pattering across the original floors. It deserves to have the sound of laughter echoing off its walls.

We had a beautiful house growing up but this one holds so much history and looks as though it’s ready for more. This home is where you make memories that will last a lifetime. These are things I haven’t thought about in a long time. Actually I never considered them before I met Grey. I feel a sense of comfort when I’m around him.

I’m so lost in my own thoughts that I don’t realize Grey has stopped in front of me until I collide with his hard body. His hand reaches out to both steady me and hold me tighter to him.

“My mother was fucking my fiancé,” I blurt out.

“Motherfuck,” he mumbles, then winces at his choice of words. I die. I burst into laughter so hard my whole body shakes. I would fall over with laughter but of course Grey catches me. Tears stream down my face because I’m laughing so hard. It takes me a minute to get it together. Once again when I get myself together I realize I’m in Grey’s lap.

“You’re beautiful, but when you laugh”—he shakes his head, smiling at me—“it’s fucking breathtaking.”

I melt at his words.

“Thank you.” I relax into him. “For everything. You’ve been kind to me and well. I’ve been—”

He cuts me off. “Healing.”

“I was going to say being a bitch.
