“We heard Doug left town, went back to Denver.”It was her mom who spoke this time.
She’d heard that, too.Shortly after their super fun coffee at Molly’s Diner.“Makes sense,” she mumbled, guilt clawing its way back into her throat.
“He dropped off some things here, before he left.”He did?“Mostly books.”
This was the first she was hearing about it.It made her wonder just how much time and space her parents had planned on giving her.Stuck in her head, she didn’t reply.But Benny did.
“Great.We’ll take them back with us.”His hand found its way back to her thigh, catching the attention of her dad.
“So...”He coughed.“I take it you two are back together?”
Both her parents were now looking at her expectantly.
Um.How do you explain to your parents that you’re not labeling the sex you’re having with your ex—without sounding slutty?
“Yes, sir,” Benny answered before she had a chance to figure it out.“We are.”
That was not the answer she was ready to give her parents.
Her mother’s expression remained blank, surprise, surprise, while her father gave one single nod of acceptance.“Okay, then.Dinner next week?”
What?
“Sounds good.”Benny grinned, shooting her a wink.
Goddamnit.What happened to no labels?
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Bethany was pissed.
They’d left her parents twenty minutes ago and she’d asked Benny to drop her back at Lucy’s apartment.That clearly wasn’t happening.Instead, he’d taken her back to his house.They had plans to spend the evening together.Plans he had no intention of changing.
“Benny, I swear to God, if you get out of this truck, I will lose my shit.”
Her shit was long gone.And seeing as he was on a roll, he pushed the door open, fighting back a smile when he heard her growl.By the time he rounded the vehicle and opened her door, she looked damn right murderous.
