Chapter 8

“Hi baby,” I said as I hugged him.

I knew I ruined everything. Suddenly, I could feel my face get hot. Did I sleep with Isaac last night? Why was he here?”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked.

I knew he was talking about Sean. “I just didn’t think that you’d want to be with a girl that had a son,” I said.

“I thought you didn’t want to be with me,” Isaac said.

“I didn’t know what I was doing, but I do know now, that I want you,” I said. I watched as his eyes lit up.

“And I want you, and if Sean is part of that deal then the more the merrier,” he said as he smiled at me.

He stared at me intensely as if he was remembering us having sex. I wrapped my arms around my chest. I felt very vulnerable and self-conscious. “How are you feeling?” he asked.

“My head is pounding,” I said.

He gave me two aspirins and poured me a cup of coffee. “What exactly happened last night?” I asked.

“Well, let’s see. By the time I got to Taylor’s party you were wasted and you were passed out on the couch. I drove you home, but on the way you puked into my lap and then I put you into bed and you begged me to stay the night, so that was when I met Sean. And here I am now,” Isaac said.

As sweet as Isaac was that still didn’t answer my question. “We didn’t… you know did we?” I asked.

“No, although you were coming onto me last night and you are extremely beautiful and hard to resist. I put you to bed, because I knew it just wouldn’t be right,” he said.

I believe him 100%, but yet I still have this silly feeling, telling me I had sex last night. “Thank you so much for everything,” I said.

He stared at me with those chocolate brown eyes. “You have no reason to thank me, I did what any guy would do,” he said.

“No you see that’s just it,” I said as I moved closer to him.

“What?” he asked.

“Not every guy would do that. Do you know how many guys would have taken advantage of me and how many guys would run when they knew I had a son,” I said.

“It was the right thing to do,” he said to me as if what he did was no big deal.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him to my lips. I kissed him gently and I could tell that he was so genuinely happy about it. I pulled away from him for a moment and smiled. He brushed his hand over my cheek and just stared at me. He smiled and it made me feel all warm inside. “I promised Sean that we’d play soccer today,” he said.

That had to be the sexiest thing I‘d ever heard.

I watched the two of them run off together and I smiled to myself. Soon.
