“Why? Because your parents tell you that you’re with some girl who they clearly want you to be with? How do you know they weren’t trying to push you two together before the accident? Do you really know if you were with this girl, babe?”
As much as I would have loved to have her suck my dick right now, something inside me was telling me it was a bad idea. “Thanks, Tori, but no thanks. Let’s just get this damn scan done and over with. My head is killing me. ” I pushed her hand off my dick. As good as it had felt, I needed her to stop.
“Fine, but you know where to find me when you come to your senses. ”
Victoria leaned down and kissed me on the lips before I quickly turned my head away.
When I closed my eyes again, I pictured a beautiful blonde lying on a blanket next to a river. She was reading, and as I walked toward her, she lifted her head to me…but her face was blurred. Is that Heather? Is this a memory?
I needed to find out more about Heather, but damn…I was aching for Victoria’s touch again.
Chapter Seven
In the backseat of my truck, Ellie was sitting on one side of Alex while I was on the other. Looking to the front, I saw my parents holding each other’s hands as my father pulled up to our house. I smiled and glanced over to Ellie. She was smiling back at me.
“Are you happy?” she asked as she reached over the car seat and grabbed my hand.
I brought her hand up to my lips and kissed the back of it as I grinned. “Never been so happy in my life!”
After Dad parked the truck, he jumped out and ran around to open Mom’s door. He helped her out and then opened my door.
“Mom, where’s Gus?” I took the car seat out of the truck and held on to it with all my might as I looked around for the little bastard.
Then, I heard Ellie laughing before she started talking to Gus.
Figures he would run to her first. Bastard. If he thinks he’s sleeping in the middle tonight, he has another thing coming.
As I started toward the house, I heard my dad laughing behind me.
“Jesus, Drew. Think you could walk any faster? You’re gonna have to let him meet her, or he won’t stop trying to figure out what the new thing is,” my dad said, catching up to me.
Asshole. I was still pissed that he had joined up with Gramps, and they had been spreading their little story about me fainting to anyone who would listen. I needed to think of a way to get back at them.
When I turned around, Ellie was bending over, giving Gus some lovin’. Damn, she loves that dog.
She had read up on how to introduce the baby to Gus, and apparently, we were just going right for it with introductions off the bat.
Well, not if I can help it. I’m taking little bear in the house and locking the rest of them out.
As I opened the front door, Ellie called out from behind me, “If you even think about locking us out, Drew Mathews, I’ll make you sleep on the sofa for a week!”
I stopped dead in my tracks. I moved out of the way to let Gus run in, and as he passed by, he must have caught Alex’s scent. I had to let out a laugh as he slid around the tile floor, trying to stop and turn around all at the same time.
“What’s wrong, dipshit? Haven’t figured out yet how to stop on the floors?”
When I felt a hand smack the back of my head, I turned to see my father walking by. What the hell?
“Don’t call that dog names, Drew,” my father said as he winked at me.
“Are you kidding me, Dad? You call him every name in the book!” I looked at Ellie and then back at my dad.
“Gunner, take Alex out of her car seat and bring her over to the sofa, so Gus can meet her,” Ellie said, practically skipping into the living room.
She’s way too excited about this.
“Dad, can you go get my twelve gauge?”
My dad gave me a confused look. “Shit, Drew. You gonna introduce her to your gun?” my dad asked.
