Share Us
“It’s pretty cool, right?”
“It is. Thank you for sharing it with me.”
“Thank you for being interested. Being here. I know this is a more relationship type of thing, but…” I sigh, running a hand through my hair. It’s so hard not to cross this line with her. “It means a lot to me.”
She inhales deeply, then reaches up and presses a soft kiss to my lips. It’s unlike her. Normally she has something snarky, funny, or profound to say.
“Miles,” she whispers as she drops back onto flat feet.
“Hm?”
She bites her lip, then shakes her head at herself, much like she did before she told me she’s pregnant. She takes both of my hands and looks up at me. “I’m ready.”
“Ready?”
“I’m still scared and figuring things out. I’ve spent so much time alone, and I’m still getting used to having someone else be a big part of my life. I’m going to need to go at a snail’s pace, but I want to be a snail with you. If you’re still interested in me being your girlfriend.” Her eyes dance and she gives me a sassy little smile.
Holy fuck.
I let out a laugh of disbelief. “Really?”
“Yes, really.”
A smile grows on my face. “Fuck yes, I want you to be my girlfriend.” I give her a quick kiss. “You just made my whole damn day.”
She laughs and looks at me like I’m crazy. “All the celebration andthisis the best part of your day?”
I slide my hand under the jersey she’s wearing and rest it over her stomach. “You’re always the best part of my day. Both of you.” Then I dip my head down and press my lips into hers as the sun setting over the field bathes us in warmth. There’s nothing dirty about this kiss. It’s tender and sweet. The kind of kiss that says more than words can. Or words I can’t say yet. I’m always two steps ahead with her, and I can’t rush and risk scaring her. I meant it when I said she’s everything. Her and our baby… I had no idea how profoundly she or this pregnancy would change my life, but it’s a change I’ve been aching for, even if I was afraid to admit that to myself. Now that I have this, I’ll do anything to keep it.
She throws her arms around my neck and deepens our kiss. Sucking me in and pulling me into her world. When she finally breaks the kiss and looks up at me, I tell her, “No taking it back.”
She laughs. “I don’t want to.”
“Good.” I squeeze her hand and lead her across the field. “Now, if we’re going to go at a snail’s pace, we better get walking.”
“Very funny.”
“Hey, I’m serious. This snail’s pace thing can have its benefits.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yep. Like when I have you stripped down to nothing but that jersey and my face is buried between your legs and I take things nice and slow.”
Without missing a beat, she casually says, “Or when I’m riding you, going as slow as possible to keep you at the edge all night.”
I grin at her. “Or until you fall asleep.”
She tries to glare at me, but starts laughing. “Yeah, that’s probably about right.”
“Whatever pace you want to go, sweetness. I’m here for it. As long as you’re mine.”
“We’re yours,” she whispers. Andfuck.That’s it. I’m done for. Lost to this girl and the baby growing inside her. Our baby. Our future.
I don’t know how I got so damn lucky. I look down at her again. Maybe because I finally found my unicorn. All I know is I’m lucky as fuck, and I will never take a second of this for granted.
