Why Did It Have To Be You?

I am on the back patio talking to Ally on the phone while Dean finishes up his work calls.

I am not sure how I never noticed this back patio before. It is super nice. Modern outdoor couches and chairs around a firepit. There’s a bench swing and a grill. It would be perfect to host parties or to just cuddle up with Dean. I need to slow my thoughts down. Just because Dean is taking me out doesn’t mean we're going to be spending evenings together in the future. I voice my concerns to Ally.

“Do you think I am crazy going out with him? Like could we actually ever have a real relationship? Maybe I should just cancel this whole thing and accept it for what it was. A couple of super hot nights with a super hot guy.”

Ally snorts. “Oh please. We both know you want to go on this date. Besides you never would have even gone to the backroom of that bar if you didn’t like him. You aren’t one to just hook up with any random hot guy you meet.”

I bite my lip thinking about what she said. She is right. I really liked Dean when I didn’t know he was Brian’s dad. I probably would have given him my number if I had known for sure that me and Brian were over.

“Ugh. I guess, but that is what I’m afraid of. What if I end up liking him even more? What kind of future could we even have? Like, oh hey Brian I’m going to be your new stepmom. OH MY GOD! No! That cannot happen.”

Ally busts out laughing. “Hey, serves the asshole right.” I laugh too. She continues. “Just try not to overthink it. He’s not asking for you to marry him. Just go and enjoy the day and see where things go.”

I let out a long breath. “Okay fine, but if I fall madly in love with him, you’re going to have to be the one to tell Brian I’m his new mommy.” Ally laughs again.

“Sure sounds good. I’d love to be the one to break the news.”

Ugh. I still have to talk to Brian. “I’m going to break up with him tonight.”

“Good. I don’t know how you haven’t already.”

Me neither.

“Yeah yeah I know, so don’t be surprised if I show up at your door tonight looking for a place to stay.”

“I’d be honored. I’ll have ice cream and wine ready!” I laugh. “Thanks Ally, you’re the best!”

Just as we are saying our goodbyes, the slider opens up and Dean walks out. “You almost ready?”

My eyes scan him up and down. He is wearing khaki shorts with a white button up, but he has the sleeves rolled up exposing his sexy forearms. He has sunglasses hanging from his shirt and his hair is not quite as styled as usual. Damn. Casual Dean is almost just as sexy as dressed in fancy suits Dean. Is there anything he doesn’t look good in? I look down at my sundress and sandals and figure I am dressed appropriately for whatever we’re doing. “Yes. Where are we headed?”

He smiles at me. “No way. It’s a surprise.”

I laugh. “Everything with you is a surprise.”

He grabs my hand. “C’mon slowpoke let’s move it.” I yelp as he pulls me up. “Well then okay Mr. bossy pants.”

We head to his garage, and, of course, his car is super fancy. I give a low whistle. “Damn. You know you don’t need to try to overcompensate with fancy cars. Your dick is very adequate.”

Dean scoffs. “Adequate?”

I widen my eyes at him “Oh shit.”

It’s too late though because he grabs me by the waist and picks me up and spins me around while he is tickling me. “No! Stop! Stop! I take it back! I take it back.”

He puts me back on my feet and his body is pressed up against my back. “What is that you said about my dick again?” He says into my ear as his fingers rub my side threating to tickle me more.

I giggle some more. “You have a fantastic cock. Really spectacular.” He laughs and kisses on my neck. I love the feeling of his chest rumbling with laughter on my back. I never want it to stop. “Really honestly. You give such good cock. I crave it.”

Dean laughs again. “Stop! Your jokes are giving me a hard on.”

He lets me go and walks over to the driver’s side door. “C’mon let’s go. We got places to be.”

I laugh and get in the passenger side. Well, here goes nothing.

Chapter 10

We are driving along the lakeshore to wherever we are going. “Are we going to the beach? You should have told me. I would have packed my bikini.”
