Killian comes back out from the back and stops long enough to tell me he will see me at home.
“Did he just say see you at home, as in home like you live together?”
“Yeah. Why?”
Noelle’s jaw drops to the floor. “Wow. Don’t take this wrong but you must have some magical snatch.”
“What?!” I laugh. My cheeks grow hot.
“He has never brought a girl around in the history of ever. He didn’t even let anyone take pictures of him with his prom date. And the two of you share an address. I just can’t believe it.”
“Well it’s true.”
“Whatever spell you cast on him can you give me some pointers. I have two adorable kids with Dillan and still can’t get him to set a date for our wedding.”
“Would if I could.” I feel bad for Noelle if they have been together as long as she says, and she still don’t have a wedding band on her finger. I know some people don’t feel the need to marry, but I couldn’t imagine Killian and I getting to the point in our relationship that I would want a ring and him never following through.
Conrad comes out of the back. “I don’t know what you’ve done to my son, but whatever it is keep doing it.”
I look at him confused.
“That’s what I’m saying, but she needs to light a fire under Dillan’s ass to set a date,” Noelle chimes in. “Did you know they live together?”
“He told me yesterday. I’m happy to see he didn’t scare you off with his little performance the other night.”
“I love your son. He’s a jerk but he’s my jerk.” They both laugh.
We say our goodbyes and Noelle grabs me a couple of work shirts. When I go out to my car Killian is parked next to my car. I get into the passenger side of his car. “Hey, thought you left already.”
He shrugs. “Was just thinking.”
“About?”
“Stuff. Life. I had a good talk with my dad. He told me about his cancer, and we talked about the past a little. I’m not fully over everything but I think I can understand him a little better now.”
“That’s good.”
“Guess so. How did your first day go?”
“It was okay. Noelle is nice.”
Killian rolls his eyes.
“Stop. She is the mother of your adorable nieces that you never told me anything about.”
“To be fair I never see them.”
“You should.”
“Baby steps,” he tells me.
“I’ll see you at home then?”
“I’ll race you.” He smirks.
“I wouldn’t want to embarrass you when I leave you eating my dirt. I mean my Camry is pretty mean on the streets.”
“You’re a regular bad ass, baby.” He leans over to kiss me before I exit his car. One kiss turns into three and I have to force myself to pull away.
