“I’ve spent my entire life around people who don’t understand me. They may love me, but they don’t get me. It took me a long time to come to terms with that. You’re the only one who does. After I left Miami last time, I dreamed of splitting my time between both cities. Opening a design office here. But I had to think of Raven, two shows, and everything else. Kari happily pointed out that I was spreading myself too thin, and that there was no way I could do it. Didn’t stop me from wanting it. Everything that happened with the show... I’m sorry so many people were hurt, but it was a blessing in disguise. The thing is, those people who keep trying to ruin me don’t realize they’re actually driving me to something better than I had before. Now I can do all the things I wanted to do without everyone dipping their fingers in it. That ruined it. I had everything I wanted, but nothing I wanted at the same time, if that makes any sense. Raven will be in college in a few months, and I have a completely blank slate. So when I close my eyes and think about really want, I still have the same dream. Opening an office in Wynwood. Being here with you.”
Holy shit. “You want to move down here?”
“Been thinking about it. I’d need a roommate, though.” She kissed my cheek and laughed. “Been thinking about that, too. I know exactly who I want it to be.”
I angled my knee between her legs, loving the way her body felt against mine when she adjusted. The hem of her skirt slid up her thigh. “Oh yeah? Been checking the want ads?”
Leah tipped her head, trying to contain her smile. Nope, couldn’t do it. “Yeah, I want you.”
The sooner we got out of the parking lot, the sooner I could get her into my bed, tangled in my sheets. Our lives completely intertwined. I wasn’t going to worry about anything but this moment, and then the next one. And I couldn’t stop kissing her. “I’m all yours.”
