Scarlett

The next morning, I slip out of bed before Slater to make us some coffee. I feel the muscles in my legs strain with each step, and other places are more than sore from last night. Going from nearly celibate to having sex practically every chance we can get is definitely something my body is adjusting to. I swear I’ve literally been sore non-stop since Slater and I got together. Not like you’ll hear any complaints from me.

I start up the machine and grab two mugs from the cupboard when something on the counter catches my attention. Slater’s divorce papers? I didn’t even notice that they weren’t on the fridge anymore. They were up there for so long I’m surprised I didn’t. A new inked mark catches my attention and has me leaning in closer.

He signed them.

A hopeful feeling blooms inside of me. Does that mean he’s ready to officially put things between them to rest? I mean, hopefully, right? Considering how many times he’s told me over the last few days how he’s in love with me, that we are together now and the sheer amount of times that he’s made me cum.

I don’t know why it took him so long to sign the papers. I mean, they had a pretty inclusive prenup in place and they will probably still have to get things finalized in person. So what was the hold up? Was he second guessing giving up on her? Was he planning to go after her? Was I just a momentary distraction?

No, obviously not. If that was the case why would he all of a sudden sign them now? No, this is good. He’s moving on, moving forward. With me.

“I can practically hear your thoughts all the way from over here,” Slater says from across the room, causing me to jump in surprise.

I cover my racing heart with my hand as I blow out a soft breath.

“Shit. You scared me,” I say as he crosses the distance between us. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to snoop. I just saw them on the counter and I-”

“Shhh,” Slater says as he brushes a finger across my lips before bending down and pressing a soft but passionate kiss to them. “Never apologize. You’re never snooping. I don’t have anything to hide from you, Bubbles.”

The uncertainty that was rising inside of me quickly dwindles from the combination of his words and the way he is watching me lovingly.

“Why did you sign it? Or I guess, why did you wait?”

He licks his lips for a moment like he is searching for the words before he speaks. “If I’m honest, I’m not really sure. I think a part of me was scared. Scared to admit that I failed the one thing I shouldn’t have. Scared to close the door on what had been my life over the last seven years. It only took one night with you to realize that it wasn’t about what I did wrong, it was about what I was doing right going forward.
