Page 28 of Keeping His Babygirl

Nothing much. Waiting to go to work in a bit.

Now that sounds like fun.

It’s not bad. I like working at the club.

That’s good. It would suck to hate your job.

What about you? Do you like your job?

I ask, trying to sneak out some more details about her and her life. She’s been tightlipped about herself… constantly changing conversations back in my direction.

I almost wish I could take the question back when she doesn’t reply right away. She’s skittish, and I don’t want to push her, but at the same time, I’m curious and want to know more about her.

I like what I do.

I barely stop myself from asking the follow-up question of what she does. Instead I decide to go with flirty…

What are you wearing?

Lol. Clothes.

Sounds sexy…

What are you wearing?

I find myself laughing for real at her cheekiness.

Jeans and a t-shirt.

Sexy.

You know it, doll.

CHAPTERTEN

Addy

I spentmost of the evening texting back and forth with Axel. He asks me random questions like what’s my favorite food or TV show… never anything deep, and for that, I’m grateful. I still feel guilty for not telling him the truth when he asked about what I do for a living. I was truthful in saying that I love what I do… taking care of Henry is my greatest joy.

But I’m guessing stay-at-home mom isn’t the kind of job he would be expecting me to blurt out. I try not to feel too guilty about it because I don’t owe him anything. We are just having a bit of fun. Our time together is temporary.

And casual.I remind myself.

“Mommy,” Henry says, tugging on the bottom of my shirt to get my attention.

I automatically put my phone away and give him my undivided attention. “What is it, buddy?”

“Can we go to the park? I want to play.”

“I’m sorry, kiddo. It’s too late to go to the park today. It’s nearly bedtime.”

Henry stomps his little foot and crosses his arms over his chest. “I don’t want to go to bed.”

He rarely throws a tantrum over anything, so I’m slightly surprised by his outburst.

“How about we watch a cartoon, then we can read a couple books before bed,” I say, trying to put an end to the tantrum before it starts.

He thinks about his options for a moment, then nods his head. “Can we watch the trains?”
