Then Katherine slowly slides her hand across the table to comfort me, and I feel full of love again.
“Okay, I’m just going to say it!” Tamara holds her hands up and surrenders. “This is odd, I can’t hack it.”
“Yeah, I’m going to have to agree with my wife here. I don’t know what to think about this.”
Katherine giggles, causing laughter to burst out of my throat too. “Yeah, it is, isn’t it?”
“So, you need to explain it to us in detail because we can’t figure it out. How did this happen?”
“When did this happen?” Logan pipes back up. “We’re trying to figure out a time line, but it doesn’t fit.”
I dart my eyes towards Katherine and see her cheeks heat up. I love the redness in her cheeks, especially when it matches her hair. My whole body softens at the mere sight of her. She’s turned me into a soppy fuck.
“It happened a long time ago, not long after the amnesia scare.” Tamara gasps audibly and Logan claps his hand to his mouth. “It wasn’t this then, it was just a hook up. We didn’t think it would go anywhere.”
Tamara gives Katherine a stunned look. “How did this happen and you not tell me?”
She shrugs. “I don’t know, you were going through a rough time then, it didn’t seem right. It would have felt like I was trying to steal your thunder or pile more pressure on you or something. It was just sex then.”
“I can not believe it. That’s just too crazy, I can’t ever imagine it. Like, how did that even happen?”
“Do you need a play by play?” I tease. “I could teach you and Logan a thing or two.”
“That won’t be necessary thank you very much.” She rolls her eyes. “I’m just confused. But anyway…”
“So, fast forward and it happened more when you went away. We didn’t even plan to see one another it just kinda happened.” I chuckle at the memory. “We ran intone another and it just kinda… yeah.”
“While we were away? Then what happened? Did it happen a lot while we were away?”
“Yep. A lot.” God that was the best time of my life. At least until now. “But we stopped when you came back.”
“Until our wedding day, right?” Tamara points between us both. “Because you were both acting so weird at the brunch the day after. I knew it when you stormed off. Did you sneak up to Katherine’s room after?”
“Actually…” Should I tell her this? Yeah, screw it. It happened in the cloak room.”
“Oh… my God… Al, you have turned Katherine into something wild! How did that happen?” She shakes her head, bemused. “And when did you realize that you wanted it to be more?”
“Honestly?” I look at Katherine, needing her permission before I speak again. “I realized before you came back from your trip, but we both decided that it’d be easier to keep separate so we didn’t have to get all official and stuff.” I shrug, wondering why we both agreed to that. It seems nuts now. “We wanted it to be simple.”
“Awww, until you realized that Katherine was on a date and you couldn’t hack it anymore.”
It’s embarrassing really, I did lose it then but I suppose that’s because this is the first time it’s ever felt this powerful. I haven’t ever lost my mind over a woman at all. “Yeah, I guess that’s what happened.”
“Oh,” Katherine jumps in. “And in the spirit of being totally honest, it happened once in your house, a couple of days before your wedding. I’ve been feeling guilty about that ever since it happened. Sorry about that.”
“You know what? I’m not even mad. I’m just impressed you kept it to yourself for all this time.”
“Yeah…” Logan glances between us again. “But I’m sad you felt like you had to keep it a secret.”
“Oh, it wasn’t like that, exactly, you know what I’m like with commitment.” I wrap my arm around Katherine. “Or what I was like anyway. Now, I don’t mind it one bit because I get to be with her.”
“This is too much!” Tamara claps her hands together gleefully. “It’s going to work out though, right? It’ll get super awkward if it doesn’t. Although, I suppose it’s been over a year now hasn’t it? Maybe even nearly two.”
“It doesn’t matter how much time it’s been. I know that it’s going to be right. We’re made for each other.”
A concept that I used to sniff at now consumes my brain. I can feel it filling me up and spilling out of me. I used to mock people who blathered on about soul mates and the love of their life. I thought people molded others into ‘the one’ I didn’t think it was possible, but with Katherine, everything feels like it could happen.
Nothing is impossible anymore. Not even love. Who would’ve thought it?
