I stepped a little closer to her, letting my hand brush over her side lightly. “A girlfriend,” I answered honestly.
She raised her hand, setting in on my chest, stroking gently, making the hair on the back of my neck prickle. “I’ve actually been craving tacos with extra sour cream.”
I grinned and wrapped my arms around her. “Mexican food it is then.”
She smiled and looped her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her, crushing her body against mine. “A date sounds great,” she whispered.
I nodded and traced my nose up the side of hers. “I’m gonna make you fall in love with me by the time our baby’s born,” I promised, wrapping her securely in my arms before kissing her softly. I felt her smile against my lips.
Less than a second later, the doors to the lift pinged behind me. I heard a heavy sigh, but I didn’t break the kiss with Bronwyn, I couldn’t break the kiss, I wanted to melt into her and never let go.
“You’re supposed to press the button for your floor you know, not just stand there kissing,” Mrs Sanders scolded. She sighed again. “Oh, I’ll get the button for you, shall I?” she teased. She fumbled at my back, obviously pressing my floor for me. Just as the doors closed, she laughed. “Oh to be young and in love,” she mused.
Bronwyn giggled against my lips and tangled her hands into my hair, pulling me closer to her as the lift lurched upwards. No doubt this would be a long and hard process. There would be a lot of things to overcome – her living two hours away was one of them. Officially meeting her son was another. Telling Skye that I’d gotten her little sister pregnant by accident. Making Bronwyn fall in love with me. There were definitely a lot of things to do in the coming weeks and months. But it only had to start with a chance; just one chance was all we needed.
THE END
…or is it? Does a love story ever truly end? In this case, the end is actually only the very beginning…
