Her breath hitches. She pushes me away slightly and looks to her hands. “He took me to a clinic, said it was the only option.” More tears fall down her face and she refuses to look at me. “I had an abortion,” she whispers brokenly. “Said I was just something fun to pass the time, that I was just a hole for him to use.”
What a fucking tool. “Tina, babe, you don’t listen to him. He’s the one that lost out. You’re hot, you’re sweet, kind, loving, fun. Any guy would be lucky to have you as theirs. Don’t you dare waste another tear on that asshole.”
I get off the couch and pull her with me. “I hate that you’ve been going through this alone, hate that you couldn’t talk to me about this. Let’s get you washed up and we can do a girl’s night in. Didn’t the new season of that show you like come out this week?”
She looks at me and gives me a small smile. “Yes, it did. Stranger Things. I’ve yet to watch it, what with all this shit going on.” That surprises me, Tina’s worse than I am when it comes to Netflix shows coming out. She will take off work and binge all day, while I do my normal routine and binge watch when I can, until finished.
“Well, we’re going to fix that. Go get a shower, wash your face, your ass, you smell like shit.” She laughs. “And I’ll place an order for pizza and fire on the TV.”
She hugs me tight then looks at me. “Thanks, Tara, you really are the best friend a girl could ask for. I don’t deserve you.” Those last words are whispered, but it felt like there is a deeper meaning to them.
“I could say the same for you.” I shoot her a wink, ignoring the small flinch she gave me and shove her towards her bathroom.
Chapter 20
Drew
Iget home after two in the morning to a dark and quiet house. Walking down the hall, I notice Tara’s bedroom door is open and peek in. She’s laying on top of her sheets, fully dressed, with LF sleeping on her ass. As if she got home late and just passed out.
If she was out, where’d she go? I give my head a shake, she’s probably just exhausted, all the shifts she’s working and the emotional stress she’s under, something I helped cause. Damn, I should kick my own ass.
Moving into her room, I shift LF off of her, who gives me a small growl and start to get Tara more comfortable, taking off her jeans, and shift her so she can be under the blankets. Then, I pause, but not for long, and I quickly take off my clothes, and kick them towards to wall, climbing into bed with her. I stay still, wondering if this will wake her up, instead, she rolls over, throwing a leg over me and curls into my side.
I finally relax, and smile. She’s gonna kill me when she wakes up, but if this is my last moment, I’m going to go out happy. LF slinks to my side, shoving his face under my hand, purring softly before we both find sleep.
*~*
“What the fuck?” I hear shouted, waking me up from the best damn dream I’ve ever had. “Drew, wake the hell up, and tell me what the fuck you think you were doing!”
Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes I sit up in Tara’s bed and smile. “Hey, I got home late last night, you were passed out fully dressed on top of your covers.”
“Okay, great thanks, that explains that, but doesn’t explain what you’re doing in my bed, spooning me when I woke up.”
I give her a grin and lay back down, hands under my head. “Babe, when I fell asleep it was you spooning me.”
She growls, and damn if she doesn’t look adorable pissed off. “Drew.”
“What do you want me to say? It was a mistake? Shouldn’t have happened?” I shake my head against the pillow. “Sorry, not gonna say any of that shit, because it wasn’t a mistake, and it should have happened a long ass time ago. Now you can continue to keep shrieking like a bitch, but gotta tell you, it’s cute as hell, or you can get over it and come kiss me good morning.”
“I-I, what?” she stutters, looking confused.
“Tara, come here.” She comes closer to the bed, as if in a daze and she can’t figure out what’s going on. The second she’s close enough, I snag a wrist, pulling her down on top of me. My hand shifting through her hair and finally give her a good morning kiss.
“Drew,” she whispers, as she falls more on top of me, giving me her weight.
“I’m not gonna fuck you right now. You still have shit to think about and come to terms with. Those terms are that you’re mine, we’re gonna give us a shot, and until we have to, we’re not even gonna think about Keller. We’ll deal with that issue later, when he gets back. For now, just enjoy this, feel this out, be with me.”
She sighs against my lips, her heart beating fast against my chest. “Okay, this is so wrong, but okay. I’ll give us a chance.”
Smiling, I roll us over, grinding against her cunt with my cock. What I want to do is get rid of our underwear and slide home inside of her, but I flat out just said I wouldn’t do that right now.
“I’ll make sure you never regret this, Tara, or feel guilt over it. In time I’ll tell you more, but just trust me, you aren’t doing anything wrong, or anything to feel guilty over.”
She stares up at me and gives a small smile. “Okay, I’ll trust you.”
“Good.” Giving her another slow kiss. Breaking it, I roll off her. “Go shower, I’ll make breakfast, then we’ll head into work.”
“Wait what?”
