CHAPTER 19

Julianna

What am I doing?

I sat on my porch, sipped my coffee, and watched the sunrise as a question kept swimming through my mind. It was the same one that had kept popping into my head since I’d asked Cole if friends kiss. Of course, it’d only gotten worse since I’d confessed to him that I’d pleasured myself while thinking about him and then let him act out my fantasy in his backyard.

Was I too young to be having a midlife crisis? Since Cole Carson had walked into my life, I hadn’t been behaving like myself. Yesterday, I hadn’t even finished my daily list. Which had never happened. Never. Not even when Anthony had been a toddler and I’d had double pneumonia. During those two weeks while I was sick as a dog and chasing after an active two-year-old, I’d still managed to finish all of my to-dos.

Technically, I hadn’t finished my list on Monday either. Sure, it had all gotten done, thanks to the Super Maids, but I hadn’t done it. I’d planned on completing my tasks as soon as I got home, but instead I’d fallen into bed and right to sleep.

Last night, after Cole had made me come—so hard, by the way, that I’d seen stars and had been concerned I’d never regain my full vision—he’d warmed up dinner for us and we’d sat at his kitchen table and talked until after two in the morning. Talked. That was it. No kissing. Other than a few innocent brushes of his hand on my arm or over my hand, there hadn’t even been any touching.

I had learned all about Cole’s childhood. Hillary, his mom, had raised him alone, and from what it sounded like, he had not made it easy on her. Especially during his high school days. He’d been quite popular with the ladies, and he’d taken full advantage of that.

Cole had told me that his plan B, if football hadn’t worked out, was to be a teacher and coach. He’d talked about his college days, being a first-round draft pick, and his first few years in the league. Coach Maddox had been an instrumental part of his adjustment to all of the temptations, lifestyle changes, and pressures that came with being a professional athlete.

I’d even opened up about my life. Well, at least more than I normally did. We’d covered everything from my childhood, being a teen mom, to the struggles of raising Anthony. The thing that surprised me most was not that I had talked about all of the things I’d never talked about with another soul; it was how natural it had felt to do so.

“Have you slept?” Megan pulled the belt on her robe tighter as she stepped out onto the porch. “Chloe was up a couple of hours ago and I saw Cole dropping you off.”

“I napped.”

Sitting on the swing beside me, Megan clapped. “Okay, spill. I want all the dirty details of all the dirty deeds of you and Football Hottie’s fornications.
