CHAPTER THIRTEEN

BLAKE

“If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.”

- Maya Angelou

“One more time. I can do it, I swear.”

“No. No more,” CJ argued, shaking his head.

“Just let me try. I promise, I can do this!” I whined when he continued to shake his head no. “You have to let me try again, CJ! You want me to beg? Fine.” I dropped out of my seat and onto my knees.

“Blake, stop. You’re embarrassing yourself.”

Damn man was impossible.

I hobbled towards him on my knees, keeping my hands steepled in prayer-like position. “I swear, I won’t let you down.”

CJ’s eyes narrowed. He was sitting and I was kneeled before him, yet he was still like, three feet taller than me. No matter how many times I accused Rose of putting growth hormones in CJ’s baby bottles, she still refused to admit his size was manufactured. I’d wear her down. I was determined to, because whatever she did to make the perfect specimen that was CJ, I wanted to do the same thing for my children one day.

“Do I look like an idiot? You’ve already failed at this three times. I’m not putting myself through this again.”

My head fell back in defeat. “Ugh! You are so infuriating!”

Snickers were muffled. I was biting back a smile, myself. I lost the battle when I opened my eyes again and saw CJ smiling down at me. The man was already sexier than should be legal, but his smile was lethal. Angels I swear to you, angels fell out of the sky and fell at his feet.

Giving up for the moment, I sat back down in my chair. It had been a week since the impromptu dinner at Rose’s house, and seemingly overnight, CJ had become almost an entirely different person. I would be worried about the sudden and drastic change, but his sisters assured me that the CJ I was getting to know now was the same one they’d grown up with.

More and more, he consumed not just my thoughts, but every part of me. Even now, sitting around a small bonfire with friends, all I wanted was to climb into his lap and cling to him for dear life. I had to force myself not to watch him constantly, to analyze every expression, every word, every subtle move of his body. It scared me, how much I wanted to know him. Needed to know him. What made him tick, what made him hide himself away for so long, what I could do to make him happy. Because he deserved happiness, and God help me, I wanted to be the one who gave it to him.

I’d never felt that way before about anyone. My love for others ran deep. It didn’t take much for me to grow attached and form a connection with another human, but never like this. I couldn’t tell you when exactly it happened, but somewhere down the line, CJ’s happiness and my happiness became one and the same.
