The door swings open and my customer sees that it is me, and a high pitched squeal comes from her. Fuck me, is she human?
“OMG, I am so happy that you are here. I am so excited. Come in, come in.”
Pushing the cart inside the house, I am hit with a fragrant scent that reminds me of a florist.
“Babe, come here; the resin maker is here.” She smiles at me, guiding me through the house.
We step into a room that has an expensive-looking dining table that seats twelve people. There are flowers everywhere, but well-placed balloon arches and balloon bouquets are placed around the room, leading out to the back yard where I see table and more flowers and balloons.
“Do you want to see?” I ask the very excited bride and mom-to-be.
“Yes.” She claps her hands, her laughs and excitement contagious.
I pull open the box that holds some of the baby shower items, and hand her one of them. Her smile is megawatt as she looks it over, tears fill her eyes and she looks to me.
“Oh, Kady, I love them. They are exactly what I asked for.”
I go to reply, but a familiar voice stops me.
“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Kady Winslow.” My spine stiffens, as I look over my shoulder.
The urge to throw the resin teddy bear in my hand at my ex-boyfriend is overpowering.
The woman looks between us, shock on her face.
“You know each other?”
“We do. We went to school together, then met up again after we both came home from college. Isn’t that right?”
For the sake of the pregnant lady, I square my shoulders, suck in a deep breath and turn to face him head on. This is the man who cheated on me, then accused me of sleeping with his friends just so he could take the heat off himself.
It is because of men like him and other pricks that I take my time trusting men, or just enjoy the sex for a time before moving on. That was until Calder decided to crawl under my skin again and refuse to leave.
This fucker standing in front of me, his arm around his soon-to-be-wife’s waist, her heavy pregnant belly under his hand makes me want to smack the smug look off his face and smile while doing it.
But I want to make him sweat before I leave, because even though this fucker hurt me, I won’t be the cause of anyone else’s pain and I do not want to upset this woman, especially now in her condition.
Seeing her pregnant makes me think of Kane. I may not have carried him, but the little tyke is getting under my skin also, just like his father. It will be a learning curve for all of us, but one I will try to do my best at. For as long as I could remember I never wanted kids, but seeing how Kane is when he is with me makes my heart soften more towards him.
Makes me want to love him and protect him.
“That is right, Justin. Fun times back in high school and then once we came home from college. Well, not all fun times.” I drop my gaze to his crotch, and I see him stiffen. “How are Rob, Gael, and Corbin? Still friends? Still getting into trouble like you did back in the day?” I edge, smirking at him.
His cheeks turn pink; I am not sure if it is anger or embarrassment, but I don’t give a fuck.
“Rob moved to Europe, but Gael and Corbin are still around; they work together now, also,” the girlfriend jumps in.
“Aw, that’s nice. Well, I am so glad that you love what I have created for you, and your handsome husband-to-be.” I smile at her, which she returns. “Congratulations on the baby and the wedding.”
“Thank you, Kady. These are amazing.” Her voice is full of excitement, making my heart happy.
“You are welcome. Can I leave you with some advice for the future?” She nods to my question, as her dick of a partner stiffens again. “Keep an eye on this one. He was a ladies’ man in school, and I see that the trait never left him. I will see myself out.”
I shake her hand, ignoring Justin. Spinning on my heel, I am ready to leave, but before I reach the door, I look back at the couple to find my customer looking through the boxes and Justin looking at me.
I wink at him, because I can.
His nostrils flare in anger, making my pettiness shine brighter.
