Chapter Eight

Some things are destined to be—it just takes us a couple of tries to get there

~ J.R. Ward

Boss

An ear curdling shriek makes me practically jump out of bed. Well, I’m not the only one. Cowboy jolts out of bed too as our door busts open. Destiny running in, in her pajamas, with the biggest smile on her face. She jumps right on her bed, “I’m three! I’m three!”

She looks right at me, turning her back to Cowboy as he rushes into the bathroom and wraps a towel around himself.

“Mommy, were you and Daddy having bubble time?”

Bubble time means bath time. It’s the only way I can get her to agree to a bath most nights, telling her I’ll make sure there are tons of bubbles.

I nod, knowing I don’t have many options. “Yes, we were just about to have bubble time!” I say, hearing Cowboy’s amused chuckle from behind her. Destiny stops jumping on the bed. “Auntie Iris helped me with bubble time last night! I’m all clean for my party!”

“You know what this means, don’t you, baby?” Cowboy’s all smiles as he goes over to Destiny, yanking her up into his arms.

She shakes her head.

“It means you and me, get to go to the toy store today and I’ll buy you whatever you want.”

She presses her lips out really far like she’s up to no good, and knowing her, she is up to no good. “Daddy, I wanna kitty. Mommy said I could get one.”

“I said one day, little girl. Not today.”

Cowboy’s smirk tells me he’s going to give her whatever she wants. “Baby, don’t you think we could? Considering all we have to celebrate now?” He walks over toward me with Destiny in his arms.

“I don’t want to go buy her a kitten.”

“Okay, easy. We won’t go buy her one. We’ll go to a kill shelter.”

“A what?” Destiny draws her brows together, curious as ever, but there’s no way in hell I’m telling her that not all the animals at the shelter get their happily-ever-after.

“The animal shelter, baby. Daddy is gonna go get you the next one who’s going to be evicted.”

She furrows her brows together again. “What’s that mean?”

“It means kicked out. The kitties can only live there for so long, so, people like us have to go help them.” Cowboy responds with a smile, staring directly at me. He knows I won’t do a damn thing to take this away from him. Not when he’s talking about saving a cat’s life.

“Fine, go get her a cat.” I grumble, urging him to go.

“Yay!” Destiny shrieks with excitement.

“C’mon, baby, let me go get you dressed. Mommy needs to get dressed too.”

“What about your bubble time?” Destiny asks, looking at us both.

“I’ll get bubble time with Mommy later.” Cowboy chuckles with a devious smirk, taking Destiny out of the room, he gives me time to get dressed. By the time I’m done getting ready, I see he and Destiny are already sorted as well. I grab my cut from the back of the couch and slide it on, good to go for the rest of the day.
