He's lucky I love him.
I just finish rinsing the sink when I feel him. I didn't hear his bike or hear him come in, but my body instantly knows he is leaning against the wall, watching me.
Better than Kallie's eyes, even if he wanted space.
Damn, there's me and my bitterness again.
I grip the sink, my heart hurting, knowing I can't turn around and run into his arms for him hold me tightly and never let go. He's probably here to tell me goodbye.
I take a deep breath, hoping to control my emotions as I state, "If you want space, you've come to the wrong place, Jonny."
We're not around anyone, so like hell am I calling him his road name. I spent two years doing it and won't do it anymore.
I expect him to snap at me, but he doesn't. Instead, he hums and asks, "You knew I was standing here?"
I smile a little, still refusing to turn around. Instead, I load the dishwasher as I answer him, "I always know when you're near." It's all I say. He knows my body is in tune with his.
He hums again and rasps, "Because you love me?"
I don't answer him. I don't need to; because, again, he knows I love him.
"You love me so much that you decided to let me go, thinking I deserved better because you spent two fucking years believing I was using you, that I could be a cheater."
At his words, I load the dish tray harder than necessary because clearly someone's been talking to him.
He continues, "You love me so fucking much, Freckles, that you decided it was a good fucking idea to spit in a crazy person's face just so they leave me alone."
My heart pounds with anger but he's not finished.
"You love me so fucking much that you decided it would be a good fucking idea to allow Doc to check me over first when you had a knife in your leg!"
I growl and turn around, pointing at him, trying to ignore the black t-shirt that hugs his muscles, muscles that look so good…and the lip ring I want to feel against my lips.
Shaking off my lust, I snap, "You forgave me for that already jackass, and we decided to leave that crap in the past, you agreed we both fucked up and, of course, I spat in her face, Jonny, I fucking love—" I cut my words off, my eyes wide as he looks into mine with nothing but love.
He called me Freckles.
He tilts his head at me. "You know, I thought right about now you'd be running into my arms, Freckles."
He remembers…
He’s back.
I let out a sob, my tears instantly falling before doing as he said. I run toward him, ignoring my limp, and jump into his arms, mine wrapping around his neck as my legs wrap around his waist. I press my forehead against his before his lips touch mine, and I instantly melt, letting out a small sob, causing him to hold me tighter.
He rasps against my lips, "I fucking missed you, Freckles. I missed your laughter, how you'd lay your head over my heart. I missed waking up next to you, and our girl climbing all over us." I sobbed some more, holding him tighter. "I'm sorry I forgot you, baby. I'm sorry I had to get you to leave for me to remember you and our girl. Her bright blue eyes were what brought me back to her, to you."
Phil said he was taking her to see him a few days ago.
My tears fall harder as I croak, "That was two days ago."
He nods. "It was, I had Snake message you to ensure you knew the truth, so I didn’t lose you while I redecorated for my girls homecoming. I wanted a fresh space without the bad memories, because, Livvy, if you and our girl are not back under our roof by tonight, I'm kidnapping you both, then tying you to the bed."
I let out a small chuckle before kissing him again, loving the feel of his lip ring, finally making me feel at home.
He breaks the kiss and rubs his nose against mine. "You've lost too much weight, baby, and you look tired. I'm sorry you had to kill someone."
I sniffle, my fingers gripping the nape of his neck, my legs tightening, never wanting to let him go. "I'd do it all over to save you."
