Twenty minutes later, Remi picks us up in his pink Cadillac, and I try not to laugh. Iâm not making fun of his vehicle. Itâs just so odd seeing this hot-as-hell guy in a frilly grandma car.
âEmmie, Emmie, Emmie,â Isabel blathers on about her favorite person.
He gets out of the car and pulls Isabel from me. âQuit biting your cheek. Youâre going to get a sore. But if you laugh at Aretha, she will get mad. You donât want to get on her bad side. Trust me.â
Not able to help it, I burst out laughing. âYou call your old-person car Aretha?â I shake my head, trying to catch my breath, wiping tears. âYou never cease to amaze me.â
Opening the back door, he straps my daughter into the car seat I gave him. âWell, to be honest, her name was already Aretha when I inherited her. I promised to keep her happy and healthy. So I tell her what a good girl she is every day.â
How? How does he turn a silly conversation into something that flicks my nipples and clit at the same time? âI bet sheâs a really good girl for you.â Iâm trying to be funny, but I canât help the heat that warms my tone.
âShe is.â He opens up the passenger door for me, and I slide in. âI know just how to tune her up right.â He winks, and I pass out from lack of oxygen.
Remi settles in the driverâs seat, looking in the rearview mirror to make sure Isabel is content, before driving down the road. âWhat do you want to listen to, Isa-bea?â
âSussi!â
Fighting a grin, he shakes his head. âOf course.â
âWhere did you come up with her nickname?â Iâve been curious for a while. Is it just something that rolls off his tongue or is it more than that?
Remi lowers the music. âWhat? Isa-bea?â
I nod.
âBea means bringer of happiness.â He turns to me, brown eyes catching green. âThatâs exactly what she does.â
Oh, my heart. My hand flies to the left side of my chest, and my eyes turn glossy. Before I let myself get emotional, I deflect. âIs that why you call me Queeny, because Iâm a bossy bitch?â
His quirked lip lifts his cheek. âWhen we first met, you were pretty cold toward me.â He shrugs. âSo yes, initially I called you Queeny to get under your skin.â He takes my hand, folding his fingers around it.
I just sit there and stare at our skin touching. My breath hitches, and goosebumps dot my arm. It feels so right, even though I know itâs wrong. âAnd now?â I whisper.
âYouâre not ready to hear it. Thatâs okay.â His crooked smile lights me up. âIâll wait.â
Isabel takes this moment to shout the lyrics from the back seat like Iâm in some kind of Disney movie and the characters are trying to set the tone for a romantic kiss. âYou know I wuv you, baybe. Rewwy wuve you, baybe.â
Remi chuckles and lifts the back of my hand to his lips before letting me go.
