“If it stops you from having to see that prick, then yes I will.”
I chew on my bottom lip, thinking for just a second if this would be a bad idea. I decide very quickly that it would be, but I suggest it anyway. “You could come with me.”
“Do you want me to end up in prison?”
“Fine, you don’t have to go, but I need to get my things.”
He pulls me back down, so we are laying down, covered in the blankets to ward off the chill. “Oh, no. If you’re going, then soam I.”
I smile into the comforter. “If you say so.”
“Let me get this straight,”Sutton starts while Bailey and I help her put away baby clothes in what will become the nursery. “Parkerhasn’tbeen the town slut?”
“Nope, apparently not. So, I think Jameson owes him an apology,” I joke.
“Well maybe if he didn’t make everyone think that he could get one.”
“Hold on, and you justbelievethat he hasn’t been sleeping around?” Bailey clarifies.
“Why? Do you think I shouldn’t? Do you know something?”
“No, I don’t know anything I’m just hesitant to trust a man,” she clarifies.
“Honestly, valid,” I agree. Sutton nods along as well because we can all appreciate a man should never be explicitly trusted. And I recognize that, but I also recognize who Parker is, and how long I’ve known him.
I can tell if he’s lying, he’s never been good at it.
“He also came in his pants the first time we messed around recently, so I believe it’s been a while,” I share proudly.
“I did not need to know that.” Bailey shakes her head, turning to hang up more clothes.
Sutton just chuckles. “I’m sure he would love you sharing that.”
“He knows what he’s getting into with me. He’s been there before.” I shrug.
“So, it’s officially back on between you two then?” Sutton hedges.
My lips twist to the side as I think about everything that’s been happening between us lately. Especially the night on the beach. I don’t remember it being like that before. Also, big surprise that Aaron never cared enough to make me come when we would have sex. It was all about him, and frankly I was looking forward to when it would be over.
I thought that was just how it was, despite it never being like that with Parker.
And maybe that’s just because it’s him. It’s us. Maybe soulmates are a thing because it’s sure feeling like that right now.
“It’s…something,” I answer vaguely. “We’re taking a little trip to San Francisco to get my things.”
They both freeze. “Like from Aaron’s apartment?” Sutton clarifies.
“Unfortunately.”
“And Parker is going with you?” Bailey asks.
“Fortunately.”
They look at each other, clearly concerned.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. We’re going to go when Aaron should be at work.”
“You better knock-on wood.” Sutton shakes her head.
