“No, I want to marry her.” It was the truth. It had just taken her leaving to get him to admit how much he wanted her and for how long.
“What?” Harper asked, dropping a chicken on her shoe. She kicked it off and looked at the slimy thing.
“I never want to be without her. I want her and Poppy in my life forever.”
“But Poppy isn’t your kid.” Harper looked at her sister warily. Tough crowd.
“I don’t care; she is Agatha’s kid, and I knew the night she brought Poppy home that if I wanted Agatha, I had to take Poppy too. I knew I wanted Agatha, so accepting the kid was easy. It doesn’t hurt that she looks just like her gorgeous mother,” Chris said.
Both women were staring at him like he had grown another head. Did they not think he would want the baby? Did they think that low of him?
“So, she thinks I care what my friends think? That it would change my feelings for her?” he asked.
“Yes,” Lucy admitted, turning from her sister finally.
“Does she still work for you? Can you get her to work for you?” he asked the two.
“We can.” Harper crossed her arms.
“Then I want to hire you,” he stated. An idea started forming in his mind.
“When?” Harper pulled her hands away and looked at her slimy shirt and jeans as if she had forgotten how dirty her hands were.
“I need a week,” he said. “Call me when you have an open date. Serve anything or nothing. I don’t care. I just want her there.”
Chris hurried out of the house. He was on a mission, a mission to get the love of his life back.
