End of January

The month went by in a blur. We were spending more time with my family and less with his… well, his parents. We were hanging out with Amelia, Amaru, and the rest of the crew a lot. After Sunday dinner with my family, we went out with the crew. Shalom’s little belly seemed to grow overnight. She was so cute with her glow. I asked if they had decided on adopting Mecca’s unborn cousin yet and they hadn’t. They wanted to but feared getting excited and Symphony decide to keep the baby. Seems she was all over the place with what she wanted to do, but they were patient with her.

Somehow, the topic of them potentially raising two babies just a few months apart led to them asking me if I wanted children since Sakura and I were the new girls in the group. I answered truthfully, letting them know I’d love to have another baby one day, and I think another is what confused them. I didn’t bother to go into detail, and they didn’t ask. A baby had always been my desire—it was love from a man that I was avoiding.

Jeremy must have sensed a change in my mood after that because he used having an early morning as an excuse for us to leave. When we arrived at my home, he asked if I wanted him to come inside. I appreciated how gentle he was with me during times like these. He never made me feel bad about my hurt… my grief. Instead, he made space for it. For me.

When we made it to my room, I wasted no time undressing and taking a shower. Showers were always my sacred time with God. To shed my tears. Recharge. By the time I was done, Jeremy was half-asleep. He looked good in my bed. Like he belonged. My silver sheets were halfway up his chest. His left arm was tossed over his head. Lazy eyes flitted over to me, and he gave me a sexy smile.

“Ain’t no flaw in you, Lovie. You’re beautiful.”

I looked down at myself absently and smiled. If the sight of me in an oversized sleep shirt warranted that compliment, so be it.

And Lovie… that was new.

After climbing into bed, I snuggled up against him. He always smelled so good—intoxicating and sensual. I needed skin to skin, so after using the remote to cut my lights off, I took my shirt off. Jeremy was ever the gentleman… holding me close, caressing my back, kissing my forehead. My frame melted against his as I sighed, allowing myself to surrender to how good it felt to be held by him.

I hated to bring it up, especially now, but I still asked, “Are we still set with the plan? It seems like you aren’t interested in convincing your parents this is real. March will be here before we know it.”

“We are. They’ll believe it’s real. It might not be for you, but it is for me.”

I didn’t know what to say to that, so I remained silent.
