“Andy is an enabler,” Addy voices with her head high. “That’s the correct term to use.”
“Okay, psych student, we get it,” I drag, only for her to punch my arm.
We enter the park, and just like every time I’ve visited, you never know where to start with so much to do. All of us are standing on Main Street, collectively agreeing to head to Fantasyland. Just as we begin to walk, Mickey Mouse is hovering, waving to all the kids.
Bentley catches a glimpse of what’s going on, his brows furrowing at this character he’s never seen before in real life, only on television, according to Jessa.
Nash moves the stroller closer, only for Bentley to hide his face with a shake of his head and repeat the word no. He doesn’t appear to be the only one resisting, a few other kids are doing the same thing in their strollers.
We try to stick together, but everyone wants to do something different. The usual wait times for rides make the day drag. Nash managed to grab a few fast passes, which meant we were forced to split up at times. I don’t mind as it gives me time alone with Jessa.
There’s a small grass patch near Main Street where we sit to take Bentley out of his stroller so he can eat lunch.
“Going to Disneyland with a child is a completely different experience,” Jessa says while attempting to feed Bentley a small sandwich. He opens his mouth unknowingly, too busy watching his surroundings.
“I’ll say, though I remember when Dad and Mom took Willow here for the first time. I begged them to let me walk around by myself, to which they said no. From memory, I sulked the entire time wishing she was never born.”
Jessa’s lips curve upward into a smile, followed by a laugh. I want so much to bring her lips to mine but being in public means we have to behave. We thought it wouldn’t be hard when we spoke about it last night. Sitting next to her, it’s a different story altogether.
“Can you not do that thing with your mouth?” I tease, watching her bite into an apple to lick her lips afterward.
“You’re not allowed to talk smut in Disneyland.” She grins, doing it again to annoy me. “I’m sure it’s in the rule book.”
“There’s no rule book…” I chide, “… and do you still read your billionaire romance books, hence the word smut?”
“I don’t, unfortunately. When Bentley sleeps, I sleep,” she informs me. “And, of course, there’s a rule book. No sex in the park would be on top of the list.”
Her longing stare doesn’t waver, even when she takes a deep breath, and I see her chest rise and fall.
A smirk plays on my lips. “Why did you look at me that way when you said that?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Sure,” I jest, only to be distracted when Bentley lets go of the stroller handle he was holding onto and takes a few steps, stumbling into my arms. “Good job, buddy!”
“Oh my God, did he just walk?” Jessa rushes to get her phone out of her purse. “Bentley, do it again?”
Bentley watches her with a sly smile, burying his face into my chest.
“Sorry, Mama, game over,” I answer playfully.
Jessa watches me with a slack expression, her lips parting with an appreciative sigh. She reaches out her hand to touch my cheek but quickly yanks it back when we hear Nash’s obnoxious laugh.
“That ride was epic,” Nash blurts out. “Especially when the chick’s tits bounced for the entire ride.”
I purse my lips to control my smile. Addy laughs, but Luna looks annoyed.
“It’s Disneyland, can you not use the word tits? Kids might hear you.”
“Speaking of kids, guess who just took his first steps?” Jessa mentions excitedly.
“No way? This little dude!” Nash sticks out his hand to high-five him. Bentley raises his palm with a giggle. “Did you walk to Andy?”
I nod, rubbing the top of his head. “He sure did.”
Luna raises her eyes to meet mine, her expression pinched, and one I’ve seen many times before. She doesn’t speak a word, remaining quiet while Nash and Addy jokingly argue over who is Bentley’s favorite.
“He must spend a lot of time with you, Andy. To always want to go to you,” Luna insinuates, forcing a smile on her usually jovial face.
