“Good. We’re getting out of your hair now.” Letting go of me, she goes to get my daughter, and they leave.
With nothing to distract me, I pace back and forth in the living room as I wait.
I have no idea if I’m looking forward to or dreading seeing him again.
Maybe both.
There’s a knock on the door, and I yelp.
I literally fly to it. Without even asking who it is, I fling it open to find Apollo standing there with a shy smile on his face.
And I melt.
It’s been too long, and I take him in.
He changed, but it’s him. The old him, almost.
His hair has the curls I see every day on my daughter, and he got rid of the dark color. Not yet his own, but the color is closer to his natural color that is coming through on his roots.
And his blue eyes remind me of a lovely day on the beach.
His smile is just dazzling.
Damn, he looks good. Healthy. Better than I remember him looking.
“Hey.”
I’m a complete mess, all I want to do is jump into his arms and hold him to me. Never ever let him go again.
His voice is soft when he asks, “Can we talk?”
I’m still speechless, but I step back while gesturing for him to come inside. I bite the inside of my cheek, as I try to hold myself together.
Please, God, make this go well.
Nodding, he comes in, his body only a fraction of an inch from mine as he passes me. “Sorry about that.”
His scent fills my nostrils, and I close my eyes as I inhale.
“How have you been?” Lord, that voice does things to me.
When I open my eyes, he’s standing right in front of me, and I step back quickly, stumbling over my own feet and nearly toppling over.
With a quick action, he grabs me to stop me from falling down. His hands on my body send jolts of electricity through me.
I want his hands all over me.
But we need to talk first.
“Good. You?” Will I even be able to talk at all?
“I have been doing well.”
Heading to the living room, I sit on the sofa. And he sits right beside me and takes a deep breath as I just watch him.
I can’t seem to form any words still and I just drink him in.
He is looking deep into my eyes, and though he’s not touching me at all, I feel him right down to my soul.
