Then again, I was jumping to the worst-case scenario without giving him a chance to say he understood because he liked her too. I really did believe he had feelings for her but never said anything because he was worried what I would think.
Or was that just me hoping?
Kayson was an understanding guy and a man who liked to talk things out before they became a problem.
Not that Rommy was a problem.
I just couldn’t stop thinking about her and wondering that if we did try, it could be something amazing.
Not that what I had with Kayson wasn’t already.
Oh God. I was a bad person for being attracted to someone else when I’d finally committed to the man I loved and hoped he was into another woman too.
You’re useless, pathetic. No one will love you.
That wasn’t true, though.
“Sweetheart?”
I jumped up from the couch, wringing my hands together. “I’m sorry.”
He stopped and stilled. “For what?”
It was then I burst into tears and buried my face into my hands, my nerves and anxiety getting the better of me.
Next, I was up in his arms before he sat on the couch with me straddling his lap as he held me against his chest.
“What’s wrong, sweetheart? Did I do somethin’? Did someone say somethin’? I’ll kick their fuckin’ ass if anyone upset you.”
In the crook of his neck and shoulder, I shook my head. “No one upset me, but myself.”
“How?” He rubbed his hands up and down my back.
I couldn’t tell him.
The words were stuck in my throat.
Fear of losing him made me sick to the stomach.
I wouldn’t jeopardise what we had. I’d just got him.
“Eve, sweetheart. I’m going to take a guess, and if I’m totally off base, hit me for it.”
He couldn’t guess.
Not unless he’d already thought of it too.
Not unless he was as lost as I was without Rommy here.
We had each other and were amazing together, but Rommy was ours too.
Leaning back, I sniffed and wiped at my face as I nodded.
Gently, he brushed his thumb over my cheek and smiled softly. “You’re missin’ Rommy?”
I nodded.
“But it’s in a different way than you’d miss Dusty or Courtney.”
