Chapter 14

Brant

It feels like we’re kids again, except her body is nothing like it was back then. Jamie has filled out in all the right places. We make it into the living room before we become engulfed in another earth shattering embrace. It’s like ten years of pent up regret is being washed away. I can’t stop myself. I need this woman, every single beautiful inch she’s willing to give me.

I manage to get her yoga pants halfway down when the doorbell rings. We both stop mid kiss and look toward the front door. “Should I get it?” Jamie asks.

“Do you want to?”

“It could be a pet emergency.”

She’s right. I can’t keep her from doing her job. She’d never forgive me. “Okay. I’ll go back in the kitchen and find my jeans.” I grab her hand before she can get away, kissing her one more time. “Unless you want to take a peek and make sure it’s a pet emergency first. I mean, why waste a bottle of good honey mustard if we don’t have to?”

She flashes an ornery look and goes to see who could be interrupting. Quickly, I spot her dressing, situating her clothing so she looks professional, or the best that yoga pants allow.

As I watch her I have to smile. I can’t remember the last time I felt like this; excited and carefree. When I asked to rent a room it wasn’t to see if we could rekindle a long lost love. I just wanted to be her friend. Now I know it’s not possible. Something is still there, or maybe it’s new. I can’t tell the difference, and honestly it doesn’t matter. I want Jamie. I want to know everything about her. I want to start where we left off and see where it goes.

I hear Jamie talking as I pull my jeans back on in the kitchen. I’m walking into the living room while tugging my t-shirt over my head. When my eyes open I’m staring at someone I never expected to come looking for me, and I already know whatever was going to happen with Jamie is over. I’m going to have to step out to deal with this situation first, and I’ve got a feeling when I return she’ll have changed her mind.

I escort Leigh out on the covered porch. My grip is firm, because I’m pretty pissed she interrupted a pivotal moment. I sit her down in an old wicker chair that was probably on this same porch back when I dated Jamie the first time. I stand above her, crossing my arms and waiting for some ridiculous reason she’s here at this very moment. Her tears seem real. I don’t doubt she’s hurting. We’ve spent a long time building a life together, a future we both wanted only to have it stripped away by lies and deceit. She’s tortured by bad decisions. Having done this, she’s responsible for everything that has happened thus far. “I’m listening.”

She’s obviously uncomfortable, her hands shaking while she looks to the floor instead of me as she speaks.
