With the pizza date firmed up, Carrie was instantly happy and let Axel strap her into her booster seat. He kissed her goodbye before closing the door and turning to me. “I need to get one of those car seat thingies, right? What kind do I buy?”

“I’ll text you the name of the one I have. It’s just a booster seat.”

He nodded. “I’ll get one tomorrow.” Since the valet was standing right there, and Carrie was peering curiously at us out the window, he didn’t kiss me but instead took my hand and squeezed it as he opened my door for me. Shoving his hands in his pockets, he stood and watched us until we drove out of sight, and the forlorn look on his face made me want to turn around and go right back to him.

I got Carrie home and in the bathtub, and as she splashed and played, I sat on the toilet seat and checked my phone. There was a text from Ax.

Axel: I missed not getting to kiss you goodnight.

Blaire: You can walk me to my car at Beau’s tomorrow and make up for it.

Axel: Can we make out in the backseat?

Blaire: If you’re a good boy.

Axel: And what if I’m a dirty boy?

Blaire: Then I might blow you.

Axel: Fuck, baby. You give the best head. I’m so hard right now just thinking about it.

Blaire: Touch yourself.

Axel: Already on it. My dick is dripping for you.

Blaire: Imagine I’m licking the head, tasting you on my tongue.

Axel: You like that, baby?

Blaire: I love how you taste, especially deep in my throat.

Axel: Fuck. I’m going to come so hard for you, Blaire.

Blaire: I’ve got to get C out of the tub. You think about grabbing my hair and shoving my mouth down on your cock while I drink your cum. Text me later and let me know how it turns out. XOXO

I smiled as I got Carrie ready and tucked her into my bed since Evan was gone. I took my shower and found her already asleep by the time I crawled into bed beside her warm little body. I kissed her hair softly and inhaled her sweet baby scent before turning off the lamp. I checked my phone and saw a reply from Ax.

Axel: I’m not going to tell you how it turned out, you little minx. I’ll let you use your imagination.

Blaire: I’m assuming it was a happy ending?

Axel: LOL. Very.

Blaire: I’ve never sexted before.

Axel: Well, you fucking rocked that shit, babe. But maybe you should practice some more just to be sure.

Blaire: Go to sleep, Ax.

Axel: Ok. Kiss baby girl for me.

Blaire: She adores you, BTW. She talked about you all the way home.

Axel: The feeling is mutual.
