Chapter Twelve

Holly parked the car in front of the garage at her father’s house, like she did every time she visited. Only this time, the tension in her stomach made her want to throw up. Hoping Ben wasn’t a mess like her, she looked out of the corner of her eye. Ben sat in her passenger seat with a stupid smirk on his face. She felt her eye start to twitch. How is it possible he’s this calm?

“If you hold the steering wheel any tighter, you’ll lose feeling.” Ben laughed, jarring her from her irritation.

Holly quickly removed her hands from the wheel and placed them in her lap wringing them. “I wasn’t holding it tight.”

“Yes, you were, Grace.” He cupped her chin with his left hand moving her head to face him. “It’s going to be okay.” He kissed her on the tip of her nose before kissing her lips softly.

“I know.” Did she, though? This moment felt more real to her than anything she’d ever experienced in her life.

“I want to meet your dad, babe. Anyone that can help produce half of you must be pretty remarkable.”

“Eww. Gross, Ben.” She blanched before punching his shoulder.

“What’d I say?”

Waffles started to whine from the backseat scratching at the window, breaking up their conversation.

“Do I need to get the hose and cool you two off?”

Holly’s head snapped around. Her father had come out of the house and now stood on the front porch staring at them.

“Oh, crap.” Her eyes widened. Waffles started to whine further, doing everything he could to get out of the car and see his grandpa.

Ben threw his head back in laughter before opening his door for the little guy. Waffles jumped over the seat and ran past him, Ripley not far behind.

Ben exited the car and strode right to her father with his hand out. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Flanagan.”

“Were you in there foolin’ around with my little girl?” Her father nodded his head towards the car.

Holly wanted to die. She wanted the ground to open and swallow her whole.

“Depends on what your definition of foolin’ around is?” Ben countered.

Her father analyzed him for a split second before roaring with laughter. “Call me Henry.” He clasped his good hand on the back of Ben’s shoulder. “I like you.” Her dad looked at Holly and pointed at Ben. “We’ll keep him.”

“Kill me now,” she grumbled before opening the car door. She made her way up the front steps trying her best not to die of mortification.

“This is Ben, Dad.” She gestured towards him.

Henry leaned in kissing Holly on the cheek. “I figured as much, Pumpkin. I didn’t think you’d bring another boy over.” He bent at his waist. “And who’s this?”

“That’s Ripley. She’s my Australian Shepherd,” Ben replied reaching his hand down to scratch the pup.

Henry’s eyes hardened. “This the one you were playing with when you caused my girl to break her tooth?”

“Chipped, Dad. Chipped.”

“Same difference.” Henry crossed his arms over his chest the best he could before narrowing his eyes at Ben.
