Me either, I think.
Not one for giving up, Sonny turns me in his arms and lifts my chin with his finger. “I don’t suppose a kiss is on the cards for me?” he asks with a sheepish grin and laughter in his pretty baby blues. He gives me his full, megawatt smile, dimples and all. My mouth pops open and closed as I look up at him helplessly. I can’t even form a word, let alone a sentence. Today has been fucking crazy.
“Pretty good kiss then, I take it?” And although he laughs, I can see the hurt shadowing his features.
“Sonny…” I manage to utter.
He stares at me for a long, long time and just when I think he too is going to kiss me, he does something that surprises me. He simply folds me into his arms. “Whoever you choose, Asia, I got you,regardless,” he reassures me, cupping my head against the firmness of his chest whilst he rubs my back. “And just so you know,” he whispers after a beat, “Ford’s not the only one who can steal a kiss, but even though I might be a thief, I don’t take what isn’t freely given. At least not when it comes to you.”
My heart stutters at that, and despite everything that’s happened today, I allow him to hold me close whilst I gather my thoughts. Eventually he presses a gentle kiss against the top of my head, pushing me away before I can unravel myself from his hold.
“Brick shithouse seems like a good guy,” he says with a wry grin. “I’m glad you’ve got him. Just remember you have us too.”
As he leaves the room, I can’t help but think for how long.
