CHAPTER TWENTY

TROY

Pouring us both coffees, I put the cups on the table and take a seat while I wait for Emily to come downstairs. After I caught her crying, I held her tight as her soft whimpers cut through me like soul defining sobs. She sniffed and lifted her head, smiling softly up at me before pulling away. She apologised like she’d done something wrong, so I kissed her again. I needed her to see I was there for her, and I wasn’t going anywhere. Even though there are still secrets between us I feel like things have shifted between us. I finally admitted to her that I love her last night, and even though I know she won't commit to telling me back, I know she feels it and has strong feelings for me. If the truth be known, I don’t think they’ve ever gone away.

We got under the spray again and I washed her, running the sponge over her body and kissing her every so often. Her face, her lips, her head, she rewarded me with a smile, and it hit me right in the chest.

I’ve changed since we first met. I grew up after Emily left. I had to, I saw what Mitch turned into from being on his own and how he treated Emily. I don't want to be that person. I don’t want to be a lonely man because I was too fucking arrogant to see the error of my ways. Yes, I might be an arrogant bastard, but at least I know what I want. After all, if you know what you want, you can go out and get it and let no one stand in your way. If I ever have kids, I want to be able to celebrate their hopes and dreams with them, not stand in the way of them.

Because of Mitch, I’m a ruthless businessman. He taught me how to leave feelings and emotions at the door. We took businesses off people’s hands that couldn’t run them anymore and broke them into little pieces, making money from the remnants. When contracts were exchanged and the owners had tears in their eyes because they didn’t want to see it become a long list of failures, that wasn’t our problem. Mitch had a heart of steel. That was how I wanted to be. It’s how I thought I was until Emily burrowed her way in, it’s because of Emily I have a soft spot in my heart that only she can fill. Admitting my feelings for a girl that was barely out of college would’ve been a bad move. While I was working for Mitch I had his support, no one was stupid enough to go up against him. If he’d known how I felt about his daughter I’d have been finished.

Picking up my coffee, I bring it to my lips as I get stuck in my past. No one knows about my upbringing, not now anyway. There was only Mitch that knew.
