EXCERPT
I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Almost
immediately Diesel began to bark and Rhett grew excited. I could here Reed’s
deep voice trying to calm Diesel. The moment the door came open and that
gorgeous smile spread out across his lips, all the nervous energy disappeared.
“Hey you, come here, little man.” Reed held his hands out to
Rhett and in no time at all my son was lunging for him. Rhett griped Reed’s
shirt tightly and kicked his legs as he looked down at the big dog that was
spastically wagging his tail. A loud squeal escaped Rhett when Diesel barked,
the sight was one I would always have etched in my mind.
If you would have asked me six months ago if I would be
falling for Reed, I would have laughed. I promised myself I would never go
there again. Once a cheater always a cheater. Right? Now here I was standing in
his doorway, while he held my son close and tickled his tummy. I could see the
adoration in Reed’s eyes as he looked at Rhett. I had to accept that he had
changed. Reed was no longer that selfish young boy. He had changed, things had
happened that forced him to grow.
“You gonna come inside?” Reed tilted his head toward the
house and I took a step in through the doorway. His house was beautiful, and
surprisingly clean. It was nothing like I expected. It had that homey feeling,
the one that you get when you walked in to a place you belong.
I could feel Reed against my back as he stepped up behind
me. “It feels good having you here, both of you.” He kissed my head softly and
nudged me forward.
“Thanks for inviting us.” I spoke softly still not trusting
my voice. I had mixed emotions right now. It felt so right to be here with him,
yet I felt guilty for that. Was I moving too fast?
We decided to stay in and make something to eat. A movie on
the big screen was the plan. It felt so natural for Rhett to be hobbling around
the kitchen while Reed and I made dinner. Diesel was attached to my little
guy’s hip. It really was the sweetest thing. If Rhett stopped walking, Diesel
sat back on his hind legs next to him and waiting patiently. The moment Rhett
was on the move again, Diesel jumped to follow close behind.
