I grabbed my purse and coat off the table behind the door. He held his arm out for me, but I ignored it and raced down the stairs ahead of him. When I saw the uniformed driver parked next to Taylor's front lawn, I paused."We can walk," Bernard offered, with a quick nod in the driver's direction. "Johnathan, why don't you take a break? I'll call you when I'm done.""Of course, Mr. Shaw."In silence, we settled into a slow walk, with the sun beating down on our backs and the smell of freesias lingering in the air. A few blocks away, the houses gave way to a sprawling complex with a mall, an outdoor cinema, and a few cafes with tables set up on the sidewalks. I made a beeline for the empty one in the corner,with Bernard hot on my heels. He pulled out a chair for me and waited till I was seated before taking the chair opposite me.After we ordered some drinks and appetizers, I sat back and linked my fingers together over the table. "So, what did you want to talk about?"Bernard folded hi

Rachel"I'm home," Taylor called out before the door clicked shut behind her. "Where is everyone?"I twisted to the side and waved at her from my spot on the carpeted living room floor. Ron sat opposite me, a furrow between his brows and a look of fierce concentration on his face. His fingers moved steadily over the sheets of paper and crayons lined up neatly in front of him.Taylor set her bag down by the door and kicked off her shoes. "What are you guys doing on the floor?""We're coloring, Aunty Tay," Ron responded without looking up. "Do you want to come and color with us?"Taylor ran a hand over her face and pushed her hair out of her eyes. "I would love to."Slowly, she lowered herself onto the floor next to us and adjusted the folds of her skirt around her. "How was your day today, buddy?""We're learning about numbers at school," Ron responded, pausing to wipe a hand over his face. "I don't like numbers. They're boring."Taylor patted his head. "I'm sure they'll get more inter

I paused and reached for my drink. With a frown, I stared at Taylor, a woman I'd known since high school, and tried to determine what to tell her. Having opened her home and heart to us, the last thing I wanted was to insult or offend her in any way. However, there was also no denying that Taylor had no idea what she was talking about.She didn't know what it was like to make mistakes.Or lose control for one night.As far as Taylor was concerned, there were rules for a reason, and coloring inside the lines all of her life had gotten her the life she wanted. She had a beautiful house in the suburbs, a job she loved, and the kind of financial stability most people craved. Although Taylor was generous and had not hesitated when I needed her, I knew she was never going to understand what it was like for me.Being forced to jump from one job to the next.Never being given a chance to prove myself.I didn't regret having Ron, and I was never going to.Yet, now and then, I found myself wond

BernardI threw the covers off and wandered into the kitchen. There, I rummaged around, using the pale light of the moon until I found a glass. After filling it up with water, I leaned against the counter and looked out at the balcony overlooking the Hollywood sign.Only I couldn't stop seeing Rachel's face.I saw her panic and confusion when I confronted her about her son.Had I pushed her too hard?Was there a better way I could've handled it?I couldn't tell for sure.All I knew was that I'd spent the past few hours tossing and turning while sleep eluded me. After our lunch, I had made my way back to the office and attended a litany of meetings followed by a steady barrage of phone calls. By the end of it all, I'd been exhausted but relieved.It had left me with very little time to stare at my phone.But Rachel hadn't left my thoughts, nor had the little boy with the familiar eyes.With a slight shake of my head, I finished the rest of my water and stared at the clock on the wall,

Rachel“I haven’t told, Ron,” I whispered into his ear. “I haven’t figured out how to tell him.”Bernard stirred and drew back to look at me. “We can tell him together when you’re comfortable and when you feel like it’s the right time.”I paused. “You’re really willing to wait?”“I’ve waited for five years. I can wait a little longer.”My heart pounded against my ears as I reached between us and cupped his face in my hands. “I can’t believe you left me a note.”Bernard gave me a soft smile. “Of course I did. I haven’t forgotten our night together, Rachel. How could I?”“I’m sorry I couldn’t find you.”Bernard shook his head and leaned into my touch. “There’s nothing to apologize for. The important thing is we found each other.”I cleared my throat and tried to pull back.But I couldn’t.Being with him again was bringing back all sorts of feelings, ones I’d tried to bury for the past five years and forget. Standing in front of him again, after all this time, was bringing them all to th

Bernard “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Rachel lifted her arms over her head and stretched. “I can’t sleep. I can’t believe I’m here.” Slowly, I reached between us and cupped her face in my hands. “I can’t believe it either.” Rachel flipped onto her side, so she was looking at me. She placed a hand on my chest, over the pounding of my heart, and the other underneath my chin. I saw the emotion dancing in the depth of her orbs, and it made my pulse quicken. Was I dreaming? Was Rachel really here after all this time? I’d spent so much time dreaming about what it would be like to see her again, to have her in my arms, that it no longer felt real. Yet, here she was, smelling like citrus and lemon and looking at me like I was the only man in the world. She shifted closer, and I could see every individual eyelash. Her lips lifted into a half smile, and a swell of emotion rose in my chest. I wanted to take care of her. I wanted to do everything for her. And our son. “I know

I waved her comment away. "I'll be there."Rachel nodded, mostly to herself. "I'm glad. I'm sure Ron will appreciate it someday.""I hope so. Thanks for asking me,"Rachel shifted and turned her back on me. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. In silence, I watched her search for her clothes while I admired her naked form parading around my room. Eventually, I stood up and helped her look under the bed, where we found her shirt. Her jeans were tossed over the back of my desk chair. Rachel grinned and waved her bra and underwear around when she found them in the doorway to the bathroom.Her smile vanished as she turned around to get dressed. "I wish I didn't have to leave, but I've never spent the night away from Ron."I pulled on my own clothes and cleared my throat. "Of course, I understand. It's too soon."Rachel tossed her hair over her shoulders and spun around to face me. "What are you doing?""I'm getting dressed too, so I can drop you off."Rachel tilted he

Rachel"I feel like I've hardly seen you lately," Taylor commented from her spot in the hallway. She piled her hair on top of her head before twisting to face me, a furrow appearing between her brows. "I take it things are still going well with Bernie.""A lot better than I thought they would," I admitted over the rim of my mug. "I can't believe how well things are going."Or how easily he fit into our lives.Over the past few weeks, we had fallen into a routine of sorts, with Bernie picking us up in the morning and dropping us off at his house in the afternoon. In the beginning, I was reluctant to change Ron's life so drastically, especially with very little warning, but having him with me while I cleaned and did the housework meant less stress and pressure on Taylor and her parents.Given everything they'd done for me, I was more than happy to give them a break. Knowing that Bernie looked forward to coming home to us helped too. In the evenings, when he came, looking exhausted but p
