“Sure. It would be cool to have a dog that makes sick little kids so happy for a few hours a week.”
“Awesome. I will look into it. In the meantime, you and I need to get a few things straight.” I know I am probably going about this wrong, but I cannot have her leaving here without her knowing where this is going. “You and I, we are happening. As of right this second, you belong to me. Understand?”
“I-I mean ...why? Why would you want me? I’m nobody.” This is the shit I am going to work on first. I hate that she thinks so lowly of herself. Especially when it couldn’t be further from the truth.
“That shit. Baby you are going to stop that shit. You are more than just somebody. You are everything. To me. You’re beautiful, sweet, kind and so fucking smart. You are helpful, dependable and whether you know it or not, you are going to be my wife. I have been in love with you for a year. Waiting, biding my time, trying to give you time to come into your own. That was a mistake, I do not plan to make again. I would appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk about the love of my life like that.” There. I said it. I turn back to grab some water and when I gauge a sneak at her, she is staring at me, eyes overflowing with tears, not saying a word.
“Lynn, please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to upset you. Please talk to me.” I walk around the island and wrap my arms around her. As she bawls her eyes out I have never felt so helpless as I do right now. “Please tell me how to fix it.” I beg into her hair.
“Y-you love me?” she hiccups out making me laugh.
“Yes sweet girl. More than you will ever know.” she doesn’t say anything else after that, and I choose not to push her. I know she has a busy day tomorrow with the meeting going on and all and as much as it kills me to have to, I take her home. She opens her front door and lets Bingo inside. When she looks up at me, I know what she is thinking so I kiss her and tell her.
“No, baby. I am not coming inside.” her shoulders slump over like somehow she suspected I would change my mind. Fuck! Trying to do the right thing is hard. “Look at me Lynn.” I wait for her eyes to connect with mine. “Trust me. It is not because I want nothing more than to finish what we started earlier. But that would be selfish of me. I just gave you a lot to think about and I want you to have a second to come to terms with all of this on your own, before I move you into our new place, Friday. Once that is done, there won’t be a natural disaster big enough to keep me out of your pussy. Now, go inside, get some sleep. I love you baby.” I kiss her, pat her ass and push her inside shutting her door. Once I hear the lock click, I walk away.
Mission almost accomplished.
CHAPTER
FIVE
LYNN
THREE WEEKS LATER
Now I know what people mean when they say whirlwind. It has been one hell of a week. When Zach dropped me back off at home that day, I had no idea what to make of everything he said. Part of me wanted to brush it off as the words a playboy uses to get into a woman’s pants. But the thing is, he didn’t. That night or any other night, for that matter. Have we fooled around? Every day after work. He waits for me to get off, we go have dinner either out or his place...excuse me, our place and it always ends with his mouth or hands all over me. And I do mean ALL over. The first few days, he didn’t bring up or mention me moving in with him again, so I thought maybe he changed his mind, figuring we were moving too fast. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed, but also sort of relieved. I still couldn’t grasp the fact that he said he has been in love with me for a year. Me! I didn’t get it. But apparently that didn’t matter. He never stopped telling me. Multiple times a day, until one day, I said it back and found that I meant it. That was the day, everything was cemented apparently. That was Thursday to be exact.
“It's about damn time baby. I knew it. I just needed you to know it. So, now that we have gotten over that, I have put in for us to have the day off tomorrow so we can get you moved in. I figured while you pack, I drop Bingo off at his classes and come back and help you. By the time he is finished, you should be all moved in. “I simply blinked at him, not sure what to say. But looking at his face, he was dead serious and not taking no for an answer.
