"Babe, you can’t drive?"
"I lived in New York, ould I need to kno to drive?" she asked
I smirked at her and replied, "This’ll be fun I’ll teach you Not in this car though You can learn on an automatic first"
She rolled her eyes and stepped out, but not before I could check out her tight ass Even better, she turned around to pull the seat forward so she could help Braden froot a full-on show of her tits in that V-neck shirt My jaw h of those
"Daddy! I want out too!" Kate bellowed froan said cheekily, all while she looked over at ht irl
As I pushed open the front door, I wondered if Audrey had thought to buy more pillows and blankets for us I had one bed in my house with two sets of sheets and a comforter… that was it That was all I’d needed I could tell right away that Audrey had come in like a crazy lady and dusted all the surfaces ofroom There was no way in hell it had sat for weeks and looked like this
Apparently, she’d done ht blue blanket draped over the back and little brightly-colored pillows at each end There was a fking painting hanging over e tree in the corner I wasn’t going to be able to keep that shit alive, so I hoped Audrey planned on co
"This is so nice, Lane," Rae said quietly as she walked in behindas Rae approved, the da to toss the little, annoying pillows on the couch though
"Let’s go drop our bags in the room"
"This is your house, daddy?" Kate called from behind
"This is your house now too, Kit Kat Do you like it?" I asked, suddenly feeling nervous
"Will one quiet and I could tell she wasn’t feeling sure about her surroundings I dropped ainst my chest
"Of course they’ll live here too" The htened and the Kate I had been falling in love with again wiggled out of o!" she called out to the house "Can Braden and I get our own bed? You and rabbed et your own beds There’s no need to share anymore"
"Really?" Braden asked with surprise in his voice
"Yeah, buddy There is plenty of roo his shoulder
"That Is Awesome!" he exclaimed I smiled at his enthusiasm because I hadn’t expected hi so simple
"Whoa!" Kate yelled fro into one of the guest bedrooms, and we quickly followed to see what she was so ani in that room, except an gasped as she turned the corner, and when I finally peered inside, I called out, "Holy --" Thankfully, Rae slapped her hand overelse could coainst two opposing walls At the head of each bed sat a bookshelf tee with books and various personalized ite on the wall above the pink bed and a coordinating letter "B" hung above the blue bed
A tall wire basket rested at the end of Braden’s bed with basketballs, footballs, baseballs, and more At the end of Kate’s was a smaller shelf that she could sit on if she wanted, but the space beloas occupied by dolls and stuffed animals We had packed up a few items in New York to ship out here, but it looked as if they wouldn’t really need anything
Braden immediately zoned in on a small terrariuan observing the tiny plants inside with a look of wonder on his face Thank God I had shared that bit of inforreenhouse at the museum in Brooklyn
On the shelf at the head of Kate’s bed was a se that appeared to have a pretend bird perched on a stick inside I was relieved to see it wasn’t a real bird--I don’t do birds
"How?" Rae whispered
"Audrey," I replied quietly
She stepped out of the room and I followed behind The kids would be occupied with their new things for at least a little bit Raegan instinctively moved toward the master bedroom and I reached in front of her to turn the knob She stepped in first and turned toward ht?" I saw her wince and then add, "I shouldn’t be jealous I don’t have a right, but you guys seeo for too long I fking loved it
"We are close"
"Close like two people who are very familiar with one another…" she trailed off
"We are very fah and I kneas torturing her, but I wanted this to stick "I love Audrey like a sister It’s never been anything ether, it would have already happened"
"That’s all I needed You won’t hear any more from me about it" She’d conceded a little too easily for me
"That easy?" I asked
"Would you lie to me?"
"Never" The word slipped out of my mouth before I had time to evaluate it, but it was the absolute truth
"Then it’s that easy, because I believe you"
I s down by the closet, and we both turned to inspect the bedroom My bed had the same navy blue comforter and the same white pillows, but I noticed a fe little additions
"More of those da with the small, colorful pillows "What the hell would we do with all these?"
"They’re supposed to be for decoration," shetheet into soood sex positions with thes back up and tossed theht back on Well, okay then The tiny pillows could stay
Yet another potted plant sat in the corner by the vast hich looked out to the backyard patio Tingback chairs were placed on an opposite ith a small table in between theo overboard"
