“I do. Quite a bind you’re in.”
He smiled. “Try to leave me and see what happens.”
I rolled my eyes. “Ledger, you know I’m moving back to New—”
He opened his door, cutting me off. “We have to go, or we’re going to be late, and you know I hate being late.”
I followed him out, and he reached for my hand. At the last second, I tried to pull it away.
“Sugar, I’m going to blindfold you. I need to help you walk, or you could hurt yourself. We’re going to be treading through some dirt, and I don’t want you falling.”
"Is that why you made me wear cowboy boots?"
"That, and I wanted to see the girl I grew up with. The one who was my best friend.”
“I thought Chance was your best friend?” I reluctantly shook my head. “And I’m not your girl.”
“I’ll remember that tonight when you’re coming in my mouth.”
My eyes widened.
“You’ve fucked my face too many times to still blush like that.”
“Okay…” I looked away. “On that note, let’s see this surprise.”
He chuckled, wrapping the blindfold over my eyes and then grabbing my hand again before leading the way.
He always knew what I was feeling.
What I wasn’t.
What I wanted to.
It was like he had a sixth sense when it came to me. He was unbelievably perceptive. At first, I thought it was only me, but I quickly learned he was like that with everyone. You couldn’t keep anything from him.
Over time, I quickly realized he didn’t just want to know me…
He wanted toownme.
Squeezing my hand in a comforting gesture, he continued to lead the way, telling me where to step until we suddenly stopped walking. I struggled like hell to let go of the resolve I had held on to since I moved in with him. To bring down the wall I’d built so high, so thick with him. I remembered spending hours thinking about the connection we shared growing up, the intensity of it, the way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me, the way he listened, every smile, every laugh. Every word that fell from his lips meant something.
It didn’t matter how big or how small.
It was there.
Etching its way into my heart where no one could ever come close to it.
Not that I had ever let them.
For some reason, I wrapped my arms around our baby girl. My mind was running a marathon, trying to figure out where we were and why we were there to begin with.
“You ready, sugar?”
I nodded.
After he untied my blindfold, I blinked a few times to adjust to the afternoon sun. Once I could see clearly, I realized what my surprise was.
“Oh my God!”
