Our eyes never wavered from each other.
“Can Dad come over for dinner?” she asked, instantly bringing my attention to her. “Oh, I mean… can I call you Dad? Is that alright?” She looked up at me, waiting for an answer with nothing but love in her eyes. Her mom used to look at me the same way.
“Darlin’, I’d be honored.”
“Good.” She nodded. “Now, that you’re out we can finally be a family!” She shouted, jumping up and down.
“Giselle,” Aubrey cautioned.
“What? You told me yourself you’re still in love with him.”
I grinned and it seemed so foreign coming from me. I couldn’t remember the last time I smiled.
“Giselle! Go get your stuff. Now!”
She frowned. “Why? I’m only repeating what you’ve told me for the last six years.”
“Giselle, I’m not going to tell you again.”
“Fine. Dad, can you talk some sense into her?” she questioned, rolling her eyes before she left. She was definitely my kid. I almost felt bad for Aubrey having to deal with a mini-me.
Aubrey looked annoyed, and Half-Pint couldn’t wipe off the huge fucking smirk on her face. She didn’t even try to hide it.
“I’m going to leave you two alone,” she declared, leaving.
Aubrey shook her head as I stepped toward her until we were face to face, only a few inches apart.
“I’m sorry. Giselle doesn’t have a filter. She doesn’t think before she speaks. Want to guess where she gets that from?”
I laughed. I couldn’t remember the last time I did that either.
“I didn’t know you’d be here,” she said.
“You and me both. I sort of just ended up here.”
“Oh.”
“I’m glad I did,” I said, nodding toward Giselle.
She nervously licked her lips, folding her arms over her chest. Making me look down at her breasts that were now pushed up with the necklace I had given her all those years ago.
A soft blush crept along her face when she realized I was staring at her chest. I gazed into her eyes. She swallowed hard, and I fought back the desire to tug on the ends of her hair.
“You lied to her,” I stated, breaking the silence between us.
She grimaced, probably thinking I was going to attack her again.
“Thank you,” I added.
She instantly relaxed. “You can see her anytime you want, McGraw. We can work something out so you can get to know her. Although, what you see is definitely what you get with her. You have more in common with that girl than you’ll ever know.”
“I want joined custody.”
AUBREY
I jerked back. “What?”
“You heard me.”
