“Don’t tempt me to sit on your face right now,” I taunt. Considering this is the most we’ve been alone in a while, I’m not taking a second for granted.
Travis and I head to the car. While he’s driving, I text the kids to make sure they’re staying out of trouble. Though my parents are staying at the house with them, I have no doubt they’d let them get away with murder.
Viola
No parties! Remember, I have cameras all around the outside of the house.
Ginny responds with an eye roll emoji, then sends another text.
Ginny
Come on, Mom! I’m not stupid.
Viola
Your brothers are doing okay?
Ginny
They will be as long as they keep their voices down so I can finish this book.
I laugh, and Travis glances over at me.
“Ginny’s complaining about needing quiet reading time.”
“She reminds me so much of you. Would rather stay in and read than hang out with boys. Not to mention she hasyoursnarky attitude.”
I scoff. “No, that attitude came fromyou. And I might’ve read a ton, but I turned out just fine, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did. Saved yourself for me.” He waggles his brows.
“Oh hush! I wasn’t a virgin, asshole. You just like teasing me about it.”
“Come on, just admit it already,” he teases.
I roll my eyes, shaking my head at him. “Keep dreaming. But you’re the only one I gave my heart to. Happy now?”
He smirks. “Yes. All mine.”
“You should be glad I read all those romance novels. I knew exactly what expectations to have when it came to what I wanted and deserved. You exceeded them all, so I guess always having my nose in a book wasn’t a bad thing.”
“Alright, I can’t argue with that. Just call me your Prince Charming.” He flashes a smug smirk.
A snort escapes me. “You mean a freak in the sheets, King.”
Travis turns down a road where the lake is directly beside us. The sky is crystal blue, and the September sun is high in the sky.
As soon as Travis pulls into a giant parking lot, I see a huge boat.
I turn to him, excitement taking over. “We’re going on that?”
“Yep! It’s called the M.S. Dixie. It’s the largest cruising ship on the lake.” He takes my hand when we’re out of the car. I interlock my fingers with his, and we walk toward the resort. We sign in and go to the gift shop while we wait.
I grab one of the straw hats from the rack.
“You should get it,” Travis suggests. “Looks sexy on you.”
“Really?” I ask, taking a peak in the small mirror on the wall.
