“I missed you more,” I say, putting my hands around his waist, and my stomach flips and flops like a fish out of water. He tilts his head and leans in to kiss me, and when I think it’ll be a soft kiss, it’s needy with his tongue slipping into my mouth and his hands buried in my hair. I arch my back into him at the same time a car pulls up, and I hear a car door close. I look over and see Savannah getting out of her car with Ethan, and they just look at us. “Oh my God,” I say, and then I look at him.

“I’ll wait for you inside,” I say, and he just nods. “Also I might be throwing up in case you are looking for me.”

I walk into the house and close the door behind me. Walking into the kitchen, I open the fridge and spot a couple of things, and when I slam the fridge door, I come face-to-face with Ethan, and he’s alone. “Um, hi,” I say to him as he looks at me with eyes just like his mother.

“Hi,” he says, putting his bag on the couch and coming over.

“Where is your dad?” I ask, suddenly nervous and anxious and scared of this little boy.

“He’s outside with Mom,” he says, getting on the stool. “They are having an adult talk.” I look toward the door, not sure what to do.

“Um,” I stutter, “it’s nice to meet you.” He smiles at me.

“What’s for dinner?” he asks, not even giving a shit that I was just almost dry humping his dad while he sucked my face.

“I was going to do mac and cheese,” I say, and he nods at me.

“Cool,” he says, getting up. “I’m going to put my things away.” Grabbing his bag, he starts to walk, and then he stops. “You really are pretty,” he says and heads to his room.

“Thanks,” I whisper and let out the huge breath I was holding in.

Chapter Twenty-Five

“Go inside, buddy,” Savannah says to Ethan. “Give me some sugar.” She smiles at him. He hugs her around her waist, and she bends down to kiss him. “Love you.”

He skips and hops over to me, coming up the steps. “Hey, Dad,” he says, and I lean down and kiss him on the head.

“Hey, kiddo. Did you have fun?” I ask him, and he nods. “Go inside and say hi to Kallie.”

“Okay,” he says and walks into the house and closes the door behind him. My heart speeds up, knowing that Kallie is going to have a bit of a panic attack when he comes in without me.

“What’s up?” I ask her, my eyes watching the door the whole time.
