Us(Perfect Chaos #3)

“It was a joke. She called me last week to check in, and I told her to send me a picture because I wanted to see if he had his dad’s eyes. I was kidding, honest to God.”
“I know. I believe you now. I do. I’m sorry I ever doubted you. You just have to understand it from my side of things.”
“It’s a fucked up situation. I know. Which is why I couldn’t just blurt it out. So, when you wouldn’t talk to me, I didn’t know how to get you to listen to me long enough to understand.”
“I’m sorry,” I said, and took his hand in mine because I hated not touching him. Hated that my stubbornness kept us apart for so long. If I would have just listened to him… Given him the benefit of the doubt. But the words came from my own brother and he knew Beckham better than anyone. I believed blood over love. Now I knew that wasn’t always the way to the truth.
“And I’m sorry too. I fucked everything up,” he said.
I dragged my hand along the contour of his jaw. “Yeah, you did,” I joked, and then I cupped his cheek, loving the feel of his skin pressed against mine. “But I think we both have a little blame on this one.”
He shook his head and gave me that sexy smirk of his. “No. This is all Nix’s fault.”
I laughed. “It so is.”
“Have you heard from him?” he asked.
“Only a few texts that told me to stay away from you.”
He took me in his arms, and I willingly stepped into his embrace. “Did you write him back?”
“No. I love you, and I don’t give a shit what Nix thinks.”
“He’s your brother.”
“I don’t care. Not anymore. I’m sick of him trying to control my life. The only person that can control me is me. And right now all I care about is you.”
“You know it’s going to get messy.”
“Like you said to me not too long ago, with you, it’s perfect chaos. I wouldn’t have it any other way. So bring it on.”
A laugh rumbled up his throat and he rested his forehead against mine. His thumb brushed across my cheek, sending heat to my core. “Me neither. I love every perfect and chaotic moment with you.”
I kissed him and let the chaos fade into the perfection, knowing that with Beckham it would always be like this. Fighting and making up, arguing and making love, an endless cycle.
I couldn’t be happier.
