“Nooo,” I lied through my teeth.
“Mmhm, I bet.”
The phone went silent for a minute.
“Okay, I can’t bear it any longer. How did Dr. Hawk Smith look at least? I bet he was hot as fuck coming back all ripped and tan.”
“He looked the same,” I said as casually as I could.
“Well, he was already hot as fuck. You can’t tell me he wasn’t rock hard and dead sexy though after being in the SEALs.”
“He was a bit more muscular then I remembered,” I said hesitantly.
“Mmmhmmm, what else?”
“Well, I mean he was more tan, too. He grew a beard out, and his hair was way longer than it ever was before.”
“I bet you creamed yourself from just one look of those green beauties.”
“I couldn’t really say,” I replied blushing profusely.
“I bet you couldn’t.”
“It doesn’t matter how hot he is though, or how much he makes me wet my panties,” I said waving the air like Hawk was an irritating fly.
“So he did get you all hot and bothered.”
“Who cares,” I reiterated. “He is an unreliable tool that threw us away like yesterday’s trash.”
“I know,” she said as if she regretted that such a sexy body encased such an ass-hole.
“I say just sleep on things though. For Emma's sake. She deserves to have a dad if he wants to be there.”
My heart did sink a little. I did everything in my power to raise Emma as best as I could. That being said, there were still things I know she missed only having a single parent. If she had the chance to have both her parents in her life, shouldn’t I give that to her?
I would do anything for Emma. I hated that right now that meant swallowing my pride and possibly letting Hawk come around.
I finished my glass and put the rest of the bottle back in the fridge. I gave myself a smug grin that I had successfully not dunk the whole bottle.
I still had so much on my mind and wondered if talking things over with Savannah had only increased my agitation instead of calm it.
Either way, I would have a full day of taking care of a sick baby in the morning. I needed to get some sleep. I crawled into my bed and turned out the side light.
I laid there a few minutes just letting my mind wander. Hoping that it might lead me to drift off to sleep. Instead, it took me down memory lane. It was not wanted, but I let my mind go there anyway.
“I win again,” I said as I came up for air and touched the side of the pool.
"Not fair,” Hawk called from behind me.
He slowed his rapid strokes to a leisurely pull as he came up next to me. He wrapped me in his arms, and I relished the feel of his warm body in the cold pool.
“All you do is practice laps all day long. I'm not used to it.”
“I know,” I said with a wicked grin as I let my body easily fold into his. “If we did it your polo way I would just stand in the water and wait. That’s no fun.”
“You just jealous because I go for strength. It takes a lot of muscle to knock another guy down in the water,” he said with his cocky charm.
Hawk tightened his grip on me, and I felt him fiddle with the back of my swimsuit. He kissed me then, and I let him.
