“It’s one of the most beautiful, romantic places on earth. You’ll love it. You, more than most, will appreciate the beauty and history.”
I fidget nervously. “He said that I can be casual except for our one night in Rome. I was going to ask Jade’s father’s wife to help me find a dress. She’s very fashionable. Do you maybe want to come with us?”
Her face genuinely lights up as she hugs me again. “I would love nothing more.”
Andie tugs on Beckett’s arm. “Where’s my morning joke, Daddy?”
His eyes sparkle. “I have a good one for you today. What does a duck say when he’s at a bar and wants to buy everyone a round of drinks?”
She asks, “What?”
“Put it on my bill.”
She starts belly laughing and I can’t help but join. “That’s a good one, Daddy.”
Despite Beckett’s protests,I’m on my way back to my house. We may have played happy couple for the past month, but in reality, we’re on day two. I’m not staying there anymore. At least not for a while.
I’m not sure what I’m doing. I know I don’t belong in Beckett’s world, but after last night, I can’t deny the attraction and chemistry we share. I don’t want to stay away. I’m probably heading for heartbreak, but I’ve been there many times before. When it inevitably ends, I’ll pick myself up and manage my way through it like I always have.
When I pull into my driveway, I notice Jade’s car. I hope I didn’t miss something. I don’t think we had plans.
I walk in and she’s sitting there with a big smile on her beautiful face. “Where have you been, young lady? Imagine my surprise when I came early this morning with your favorite coffee, only to discover that my dear, innocent mother clearly didn’t sleep at home last night.”
I try to contain my smile. “Umm, I got up early and went out.”
She crosses her arms and shakes her head. “Nope. I don’t believe you. Your bed wasn’t slept in.”
I giggle. “I slept at Reggie’s.”
“Nope. I called her. She wasn’t even home last night. Something is going on. Look at your fucking smile. You’re finally getting laid. You can’t hide that from me.”
I plop down next to her and grab the coffee she’s holding. After I take a long, slow sip, I say, “MaybeI am.”
“Spill the dirty details.”
“No.”
“Is it toe curling?”
“Yes.Verytoe curling.”
“Your dickpression is officially over.”
I giggle. “It is, but…”
“But what?”
I scrunch my nose. “I know this might be awkward because we’re mother and daughter, but we can discuss everything, right?”
“Of course, Mom. The dirtier, the better. You know that. What’s on your mind?”
“It’s just that I don’t think I can discuss this with Reggie or Victoria. They…umm…can’t identify like I think you can.”
“Just spit it out.”
“You’ve briefly mentioned a certain piercing that Collin has.” I don’t feel like I need to spell it out.
“The one on his dick?”
