“I don’t think so. Not with my wife. Look buddy, that’s my wife you were about to kiss and that’s not going to happen. I’ve done a lot of foolish things but I’m not letting you go, never.”
Adam lifted her off the floor and carried her in his arms like a bouquet of roses, gently lifting her and pulling her across his chest.
“Adam, what are you doing?”
“I’ve been here a while but you didn’t notice me. I tried to get your attention and walked by you several times but all you saw was him. I wrestled with the thought that maybe I should leave you alone and let you go with this guy but then my heart wouldn’t let me let me do it. There’s no way—you’re my wife. We’re going to make it girl, I promise. I love you, the kind of love that doesn’t go away, it might get pulled apart and dropped or punched but it’s the kind that lasts. You’re my woman.”
He motioned for her to jump on the back of the cycle.
“What about my car?”
“Leave it. We’ll pick it up tomorrow. Come on and grab on. We’re going home, girl, to start our lives again together the way it should be.”
He reached around him and pulled her up close to him with that familiar hugging, tucking her closer to him.
“Yes, Adam, yes…I love you. I’ll love you forever.”
She looked back to see Derek staring at her, a look of dismay across his face. So close, a kiss away from her falling into another man’s life. She didn’t think it was possible but Derek had stirred something in her and in that moment Adam had appeared like some strange destiny had called his name. Once again, she was his.
She wrapped her arms around Adam’s chest and leaned forward against broad back. That familiar feeling of home came over her. The scent of him, the slight falling hair across his forehead, his beautiful eyes, that smile and all the delicious sweet sins of the relationship that was theirs—she was back where she belonged, in her baby’s arms. Would this be the time it finally worked out, she did not know, but she wanted to try and get her forever back. She wondered if she would ever see Derek again. She had the eerie feeling as she glanced back at him that this was not good-bye.
“Yes, home, Adam, let’s go home.”
The End
