“You’re not,” he argued. “This was exactly what was supposed to happen.”
“This is exactly why I should have fallen for an accountant.”
“You’d be so fuckin’ bored with an accountant, and you know it,” he retorted.
“Well, I would have picked one with a big dick at the very least.”
He chuckled. “You said your pussy would be waitin’ for me.”
“Honey, you’re so freakin’ drunk, I doubt you could even get it up.”
He reached for me. “Challenge accepted.”
I evaded him, dragging the comforter up his body. “Sleep, honey. My pussy will be here in the morning.”
He didn’t answer. He was already out.
I slipped out of the room as quietly as possible and grabbed my phone, stabbing at it until I got the number I wanted.
“Hey, baby girl.”
“You mutilated him,” I hissed.
“He’s fine.”
“Oh my god, he’s not fine. You’re a monster.”
“Open the door, Letti.”
“What door?”
“Aero’s front door, baby girl,” he said. “I’m here.”
I wrinkled my nose. “I don’t think I want to see you.”
“You want me to bust in?”
“Why do you always have to be so fucking extra about everything?” I accused even as I unlocked the door and yanked it open.
Before I could say another word, I was pulled up against my dad and hugged tight until I could barely breathe. I tried to resist, but in the end, I slid my arms up his back and hugged him back. “You’re dead to me.”
“I know,” he said, chuckling. “But one last hug before you stop talking to me.”
“I can’t believe you did that to him. He’s a wreck.”
“Is he smilin’?”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
He gave me a squeeze before meeting my eyes. “He loved every second of it and now he’s part of somethin’ bigger than himself.”
“You were supposed to go easy on him.”
“Who said that?”
“Me,Isaid that,” I growled. “I love him, Daddy.”
“I know you do.”
