I wake up to the sound of Evanâs whispers as he talks on the phone. My head is resting on his chest, and he has one arm holding me tight. âDid she sleep good?â I hear him ask. I smile, knowing heâs asking about Lexi. Heâs such a good dad. âIs she okay?â I raise my head up and look at him when I hear the concern in his voice. âOkay, well, weâll be heading out soon.â He listens on the other end. âThanks, Mom,â he says and hangs up.
âWhat is it? Whatâs wrong?â I ask immediately.
âGood morning.â He kisses the top of my head. âNothing is wrong. Lexiâs just been fussy this morning. Mom thinks she just misses us.â
âOf course, she misses you. Sheâs never spent the night away from you,â I tell him, climbing out of bed.
He reaches for me. âWhat are you doing?â
Stopping, I look over my shoulder. âWe need to go. She needs you.â I continue getting dressed.
I hear his feet hit the floor, and then heâs there, right behind me. âI wanted to make love to you again.â
âI want you too, trust me. However, Lexi comes first. Letâs go get your girl. Today is our last day here. You need to spend time with your family.â
He spins me around to face him, his hands holding my face, tilting up so he has my full attention. âYouâre amazing,â he says before his lips find mine.
Although I want nothing more than to kiss him, and more, Lexi misses him. I push against his chest. âGet dressed.â
âYes, maâam.â He swats me on the ass.
It doesnât take us long to pack up our bags. Our family thought of everything, as there was a garment bag for my dress to bring it home in. I know my family can read me like a book. They know this is more for me than just making sure Lexi stays with Evan. Itâs also embarrassing as hell to know my parents, my brother, and myâ¦in-laws set this up. Theyâll have a pretty damn good idea about what went on in this room last night.
âI called downstairs. They are calling us a cab.â
âGreat. I think Iâve got everything.â
âNot everything,â he says, snaking his arm around my waist.
âWhat did I forget?â I ask, my eyes roaming around the room.
âThis,â he breathes as his lips meet mine.
âWe have to go,â I laugh when he sighs in frustration, resting his forehead against mine.
âThank you, for everything. For helping me prepare for Lex, helping with her, giving up who knows how much time of your life to make sure I can keep her with me.â He tightens his grip on my waist. âFor last night. I wonât ever forget it. Every single fucking second is burned into my memory.â
I love you. âWe better go,â falls from my lips. I have to remember to keep my feelings from him. When we walk away from this, neither of us needs to have feelings of guilt. Iâm going to enjoy this
