“I’m ready.”
I place my palms on either side of her face and tilt her head up so her eyes meet mine. Then I lean down and kiss her softly on the lips. “I love you, Lexie. It may not make sense, and it may be too soon, and it may really freak you out. But I do.”
She opens her mouth to say something, then closes it. And repeats it one more time.
“Cole, I—” she starts. I place my finger over her lips to shush her. Quickly replacing my finger with my lips. Whatever it is she’s going to say, I don’t want to hear it right now. Good or bad.
“I was just gonna see, before you shushed me, if you want to take a shower with me?” she asks, shyly.
Uh-huh. Sure.
“Does a bear shit in the woods?” I ask. She squeals as I pick her up and throw her over my shoulder to carry her into the bathroom. More than ready to carry out my fantasy from this morning.
