Enzo (Jinx Tattoos 1) - Page 57
Snake visually relaxed. “Good. Get your things and we’ll drive out. You can follow me in your car.”
Pure joy washed over him. She’s mine.
“CUTE KID, MAN, WHAT’S her name?” Rhys asked as he walked inside the room. He chucked Aoife under the chin and Enzo bounced her on his hip.
“Aoife.”
“Pretty name. Whose is she?”
“Mine.”
Rhys coughed. “S-say what?”
“That’s why I called you over. You’re the only one I trust with this.”
“Whatever you need, brother. You’ve always been there for me. Shit, if you hadn’t covered my ass growing up I might not be here because Mom and Dad would’ve killed me.”
Enzo snickered. “I fucked up. I was partying over at the club house and I knocked up one of the chicks.”
“What? You always wrap up.”
“Nothing’s infallible.”
“Shit. So, what are you going to do?”
“The girl didn’t want her. Said it cramped her style. She signed the rights over to me.”
“Holy fuck! So you’re like a Dad-Dad now.”
He nodded his head.
“I don’t know if Mom is going to kiss you or kill you,” Rhys remarked.
“I imagine she’ll try to do both,” Enzo said.
Rhys laughed. “You’re okay with this?”
“Man, I have a chance to give her everything we didn’t have. How can I not be happy?”
“You were never really the type to settle down, Enzo.”
“I been working on that. Seeing a doc, dealing with the fucked up shit that happened to me.”
“I didn’t realize you were having a tough time,” Rhys said.
“The shit I’ve been doing, sleeping around, never getting too serious, and breaking Aibhlinn’s heart.” He shook his head. “It wasn’t normal or what I wanted to do. Commitment made me break out in hives, even when it was with the most amazing woman in the world.”
“And now?”
“Now, I have a handle on my shit. I’m not fixed, not by any means. But I’m trying, and she’s always been patient. I have too much now to lose. I won’t let either of my girls down.”
“Girls? Aibhlinn’s okay with this?” Rhys questioned.
“Not sure yet. She was there when I found out. Said she needed some time. I fucked up so bad there.”
“What did you do?”
“I asked her to marry me.”
