Smirking, my eyes widened on the mess that was my apartment. How did it get this bad when they weren’t even here the entire day? I was seeing all his flaws and knew that I liked him all the more, regardless.
It was a nice way to come home. I wondered if that was how he felt when he slipped in my bed every night through the week? I hoped so.
Eli was in Elijah’s lap with just a diaper. I took a closer look at Lucy and saw that she wore a dress with pajama bottoms. I made a mental note to set her out some clothes to wear the next time she stayed with Elijah.
“You got a plate in the microwave that Ma sent with us,” Elijah voice vibrated off his chest as he stood. The butterflies swam in my stomach as he walked over and placed a kiss on my lips. Eli reached out for me, and I took him with a smile.
“Make sure to tell her thanks for me,” I said. “Lucy come help me pick up your toys. We have to get you bathed and ready for bed.” I glanced at Elijah. “Do you need to go home and rest? When will your hours at the shop go back to normal?”
“Just this week. I may extend my hours for Saturday permanently but that’s it.” He walked over to the microwave and turned it on. “I’ll go grab a change of clothes and return if that’s okay with you?”
His back was turned. Sometimes, in those moments, I almost felt his vulnerability like I did mine. “Hurry up. I might want to snuggle or something…”
He glanced over his shoulder with a playful smolder spreading over his handsome face. “You can snuggle all you want with me.”
