With a start I realize I not merely love this woman – have always loved this woman – but I’m still in love with her. I probably always will be.
Did I screw up when I left her? Should I have stayed with her no matter what? Knowing she deserves better than me?
Chapter 10
Invasion – when the brothers you’ve never met get tired of waiting for you and crash into your life
Cash
“I’ll get it,” Indigo shouts when the doorbell rings the next day.
I don’t try to stop her as she barrels down the stairs. The doorbell has rung nearly constantly since she arrived. The gossip gals were the first but they weren’t the last. Indigo wasn’t exaggerating when she said the refrigerator is bursting with food.
“Who are you?”
“We’re here to see Cash.”
Shit. Are my half-brothers here? Moon wasn’t kidding when she said my time’s up.
I tiptoe to the edge of the hallway and peek around the corner. Indigo is standing with her hands on her hips facing down five men. All of whom faintly resemble me.
“You didn’t answer my question.”
“Darling, can you please get Cash for us?”
“Why?”
“We know he’s home.”
“Trust us. He wants to see us.”
“No, he doesn’t.”
My heart warms at her words. She’s staring down five men all of whom are practically a foot taller than her and she’s doing it for me. Because I told her I wasn’t ready to meet my family.
I was an idiot to ever let this woman go. Not anymore. I’m done being an idiot. Indy will be mine again. As soon as I can convince her to forgive me for breaking her heart.
Lucky for me we’re stuck living together in this house. Plenty of time for me to remind her why she fell in love with me.
Indy pushes the door to shut it, but one of the men sticks out his foot to stop her. “Can you tell Cash we’re here to see him?”
She growls at him. “Move your foot before I call the police.”
“I like her!”
“She’s got spunk!”
“She needs it with this family.”
I hurry down the hallway. As much fun as it is to watch Indy defend me, I should be the one protecting her. Not the other way around.
I place my hand on her lower back. “It’s okay.”
She studies me. “Are you sure? Yesterday you said you weren’t ready to meet them.”
“I’m sure. Thanks for holding them off but I’ve got this.” I kiss her nose.
“I thought the gossip gals said they weren’t a couple,” one of them mumbles.
