Page 189 of Buy Back My Love

“I definitely know.”

“I’m serious. You could probably do a lot better than...”

“Stop.”

I looked at him.

Van leaned back in his chair. “I know what comes with you, Lee. I know about Myles. I know about JB. I know your record. None of that is new information.”

I stayed quiet.

“I love you. I wouldn’t be asking if I wasn’t sure.”

My eyes started burning almost immediately. “Damn it.”

Van laughed. “Why you crying?”

“Because you saying nice stuff and I’m pregnant. Leave me alone.”

He scooted his chair closer and kissed me before I could wipe my face properly.

“I love you,” he said.

“I love you too.”

His hand settled over my stomach. “And I love my godson too. I already know y’all a package deal.”

Myles moved under his palm, and Van smiled.

I looked at the plate again, then back at him. “So I guess I gotta say yes?”

“You don’t have to do anything.”

“You already bought dessert and everything.”

“It came with dinner.”

“Cheap.”

Van laughed. “Lee.”

I leaned over and kissed him. “Yes. I’ll be your girlfriend.”

“There we go.”

“And don’t start acting different now.”

“I wasn’t planning on it.”

“Good.”

His thumb rubbed over the side of my stomach while I finally picked up my spoon and dug into the brownie.

A minute later, I looked over at him. “So when we get back upstairs, we doing sixty-nine.”

Van nearly choked on his drink while I smiled and took another bite of ice cream.

“You just became my girlfriend five minutes ago and already acting up.”
