"Eww," Montana said.
I reluctantly drew back and turned to see her watching us with her hand over her mouth. "Go get your brother," I said. Montana bounded out of the foyer headed to find Junior.
Jacob laughed and rested his hand against his chest.
I turned to him and grinned. "Are you sure you know what you’re getting yourself into?"
"I think I can handle it." He leaned in, brushing another kiss against my lips.
“I bet you can.” I smiled, knowing he could handle us.
My kids came to the door.
"Are you ready to go bowling?" Jacob clapped his hands together and asked.
“Yes!” They clapped with enthusiasm.
“Let’s go then!” Jacob held open the door and we all walked out of the house. My kids and I walked toward my car. “Where are you going?” he asked.
"To my car.”
"No, we'll go in my car.”
“But mine already has the car seats in it," I protested.
“We’ll be fine, Destiny. I had two car seats delivered and put in for the kids today."
"You did what?" I asked, and my question was answered when he opened the door to a black-on-black Bentley SUV that had two leather child seats installed in the back. “Well, okay,” I humped my shoulders. “We’ll ride with you.”
Junior got into the booster seat while Jacob buckled in Montana. I couldn’t have asked for anything more, as I laughed at him struggling to buckle her in. He pulled away and closed the door, looking at me.
"What’s so funny?" he asked intrigued.
"Isn’t too easy, is it?"
"Give me some time. I’m sure I'll get used to it." He got into the driver’s side and drove us to the bowling alley.
Junior and Montana mumbled to each other. I’m not sure about what. I glanced in the rearview mirror and watched them, but didn’t interrupt. When I returned my attention to Jacob, he was smiling at me. "I’m glad we’re doing this," I told him.
He reached over and grabbed my hand, holding it tightly. "Me too," he spoke with the pleasing smile that never left his face.
When he parked, we got out and each of us grabbed one of the kids’ hand. Their eyes got big as saucers when they looked at the large building.
"Ever been bowling before, Junior?" Jacob asked.
Junior shook his head without breaking his gaze from the building.
Jacob grabbed my hand. "I rented the entire alley for us today, and lunch will be served in a couple of hours," he announced just before we reached the front counter.
"Jacob, you didn’t have to do that. I could have paid for mine…" I began, but he put up a finger to stop me.
"I got this babe. I'm going to show you so much more than this, so get used to it." He winked at me, checked in with the attendant, and led us to alley number three. "Besides, this day is about us. I didn’t want anyone else to be in here."
My heart swelled. I felt like royalty. We’d only been together a few months, and he was doing more than my ex had done in four years. It was never about the money. It was always about having his time and being made to feel like I mattered.
"At least let me get our shoes, Jacob."
"Ask for the ones I ordered," he said as I walked away.
