Possessive Boston Irish American MMA Fighter: An Older Man Younger Woman Romance (A Man Who Knows What He Wants Book 77)
Page 10
“Pleeease,” he says.
And I have to admit I’m a bit curious too.
I see Gavin look in the rearview mirror at me and I give him an inquisitive look. He knows I’m curious too.
“Promise to get all A’s this year?”
“Promise,” Oisin says. “Same as last year.”
“Remember, your word means everything where we come from,” Gavin says. “If you say you’re going to do something you do it…no ifs, ands, or butts.”
“Always,” Oisin says.
Gavin pauses. “Okay then. Your Aunt Emma is performing tonight. We’re going to go see her play.”
“Yay!” Oisin says.
“Boston Pops don’t perform this time of year,” I say.
After Gavin’s last fight Grady drove right over to Emma’s house and told her how he truly felt. How he didn’t want to live another day without her.
And since that day they haven’t. They got engaged and Grady moved back to Boston from Florida.
And he and Emma gave our kids two cousins to play with whenever they want.
And not long after they got engaged Emma got a call out of the blue from the conductor of the Boston Pops looking for a principal harpist.
Emma was over the moon, as we all were.
Just when she was ready to give up her dream of being an accomplished musician she gets the call of a lifetime. Years and years of playing gigs here and there for peanuts and her dream is fulfilled with one phone call.
But I know it wasn’t one phone call…it was two.
Gavin never said anything but I saw that conductor a month later at the gym in passing. I just caught a glimpse of him and then double-checked on the sign-in sheet. He’d scribbled his surname so it was illegible but the first name and the face matched.
Gavin had called in a favor for his best buddy’s wife and never said a word about it.
Which brought more than one tear to my eye.
Gavin brings so much into all our lives.
Happiness. Support. Confidence building. Security. Protectiveness.
And lately he keeps bringing up the idea that we should have another baby.
But I know how things work with us. One baby always leads to two, not that I have any objections to that…or that Gavin has one single objection to the body of a woman that’s fourteen years older than when he first fell in love with her, and four kids later.
He can barely keep his hands off me to this day.
Including now.
He gets the G-wagon to cruising speed and puts his hand in-between the front seats and into the back placing it on my lap.
I place my hand in his as he interlocks his fingers in mine.
“Dad, is it safe to drive with one hand?” Oisin asks.
“Definitely not,” Gavin says. “And I shouldn’t do it.”
“Then why do you, dad?”
“I could tell you because we’re at cruising speed and I know the road up here. It’s straight and there’s not a car in sight…but that’s my logical explanation, but you want the real reason right?”
“Yes,” Oisin says waiting with baited breath.
“I can’t put it in words, son, but one day you’ll meet a woman that you love so much you’ll never want to take your hands off her. And you’ll want to start a family with her just like your mom and I did. It will consume every thought you have and when it happens you’ll wonder how you ever thought of anything else. How you ever survived without her.”
“Are you sure, dad?”
“One hundred percent.”
“Girls my age have cooties.”
“I want a cookie!” Ciara suddenly says.
“I thought you were asleep already,” I say.
“Not if there are cookies,” she says and we all laugh…except for her.
“What’s so funny? Why are you laughing at me?”
“We’re laughing with you, sweetheart. You’re funny.”
“With me?”
“Always, baby girl. One for all and all for one. We’re all in this together. Always.”
Ciara reaches her hand over from her car seat and places it on top of mine, and then all our other children do the same.
Feeling the power of all our hands stacked there on top of each other sends a chill down my spine and fills my heart with love.
And it’s only possible because of him. It’s all because of him…my possessive Irishman.
“Can I have a cookie now?” Ciara asks and this time we all laugh together.
