Chapter 4

Thane

Faye is quite possibly the strongest woman I’ve ever met. Had I been through a quarter of the shit she has, I’d be in a fuckin’ mental institution. But Faye, she finds positivity in life. The darkest of things she pulls out of, and I admire that. I really do.

“Daddy, can I stay the night here?” Jack asks me running down the hallway.

“Oh, buddy, I don’t think so.”

“Please!” he begs.

“You don’t have any clothes here or your toothbrush, maybe next time.”

He nods listening to me, right as Braxley yells, “The movie is starting.” And he runs off down the hall, leaving me chuckling.

“Sometimes, I wonder what goes through their little minds,” I tell Faye as she yawns next to me as we both are sitting on the couch. I check the time, it’s late, we’ve been here all day, and I have to get going, but part of me doesn’t want to.

“We should go.”

“Yeah,” she agrees, and as we stand I just want to kiss her gorgeous lips, but knowing about her past has me hesitant. I don’t want to push her.

“Thank you for hanging out today and for letting Jack come over,” I tell her, and before she can answer, I pull her into a tight hug and to my surprise, she clings to me. As I hold her back, I battle with my cock to keep it down. It wants her in every way imaginable.

“Thank you for lunch and for just…listening. I hope you don’t think I’m crazy.”

I kiss the top of her hair, smelling her sweetness, so fresh like a summer’s rain. “‘Crazy’ is the last word I would use to describe you. You’re strong, Faye.” Then I let her go, and together we head towards the boys who are both lying on the floor of Braxley’s room, watching their movie. “What are you guys watching’?” Faye asks them.

“The new Lego Movie.”

“Well, we gotta get going, Jack.”

“No, please let me finish the movie.” Which Faye pauses.

“It’s late, buddy. We’ll have another play date here soon.”

“Please, Daddy, I’ve never seen this movie before?” Their little eyebrows push together as they both give us that look begging, and I look at Faye who can’t say no to them either, “Are you boys hungry for dinner?” she asks.

“Yes,” they chant in sync.

“I can order pizza,” I offer, feeling bad that we’ve stayed at her house all day.

“No, you don’t have to do that. You already bought lunch.”

“Please, it’s not a big deal. Brax, what kind of pizza do you like, sport?”

“Pepperoni.”

“All right. Jack, you still want double cheese?”

“Uh huh.”

“What do you like, Faye?”

“Oh, I don’t care. I’m sure two pizzas is enough for the four of us.”

“Just tell me what kind you like!” I order her, and she shakes her head, not giving in.

“Hey, Brax,” I kneel down. “What kind of pizza does your mommy like?”
