All Chapters of THE HUSBAND TRAP: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Taryn continued pestering Katherine and Kat kept denying that anything was wrong. “I know something went down. So come on, what is it? It sounded like you were having a stroke, and it sure looked like you were getting stroked, if you know what I mean,” Taryn chuckled. “Drop it, Tee. I said Nothing happened. I told you I'm just thirsty. End of story.” “You're thirsty alright. You were looking at Aiden as if you wanted to drink him all up,” Taryn giggled. “Stop it,” Kat slapped her playfully. “Look at your face. You're as red as a tomato,” Taryn taunted. “And I sure as hell didn't remember applying any blush on you.” “Nate and Nola O'Hare,” The MC called, and the place erupted in applauses and cat calls. The twins walked onto the stage and collected their prizes. Kat, Taryn, and the grandparents all stood up and cheered. Aiden gave them hugs and whispered something to both of them. They smiled and hugged him again. Katherine's dad snapped photos of both of them, while

The sexual static was in great abundance as it circulated through the car as Aiden drove to his destination. The two chit-chatted, admiring the scenery as the moon glowed bright and the stars cast a brilliant twinkle in the dark sky. “We're here," Aiden said as he turned off the main road and onto a smooth track that later led down a stone driveway. At the end of the path stood a beautiful building that looked like an inn or bed-and-breakfast. There was a small water fountain with flowers all around that made a roundabout in the middle of the courtyard. Aiden kept driving until they were at the side of the building. Katherine could see a large gazebo that led out to a lake. The car stopped and Aiden took Katherine's hand and kissed it. It was obvious that physical touch was Aiden's love language. He then exited the vehicle and went to open Katherine's door. He helped her out of the car and watched as her face lit up with awe as she admired the place. “Wow! This place is amazing.”

YES! YES! YES! The answer screamed inside Katherine's head the moment Aiden popped the question. Well, it wasn't 'THE' question, but it was still a big one. Aiden just asked her to be his girlfriend. But was she ready to be someone else's? All these years she was known as a single mother, Mrs. O'Hare, a widow; Nile's Widow to be exact. But was she ready to be Aiden Windsor's girlfriend? What does being someone's girlfriend entail? She was out of the game for so long she didn't have the first clue what to do. Her eyes finally refocused on Aiden, who seemed to be turning blue while he was still propped on one knee. His face was flushed and had sweat all over it. He was so handsome, she thought to herself as she admired him. She was certain she had feelings for him, plus she definitely enjoyed spending time with him. Wasn't spending time with someone a part of being someone's partner? She realized she was already performing girlfriend duties. The only thing was, they hadn't done

For the rest of the day, Taryn kept pestering Kat about the details of the evening before. She told her she will give her the juicy info after work. The bakery was extremely busy, since it was the Christmas season.They got a twenty minute break to use the restroom and have a little lunch, so they headed to Katherine's office. Kat was grateful to have her best friend by her side, and she made sure to tell her. "I'm really appreciative to have you by my side every step of the way," "That's what friends are for.”"You're more like a sister to me, Tar, and I love you," Kat confessed as she gave her best friend a hug. "Don't get all mushy on me. You know I'm not the sentimental type.”"I don't care," Kat hugged her tighter. "Alright, alright, I love you too. Now give me that protein bar," Taryn ordered, pointing to the power bar on Kat's desk. She handed it to her, and she wolfed it down in seconds. Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. It was Lucy. "Come in, Lucy," Kat s

"I really wish you two weren't sick," Katherine said sadly as she examined the thermometer that she took from Nola's mouth. The twins both had a slight fever, and they were complaining about having sore throats. Since it was winter, Katherine knew the kids would likely catch a cold, but why did they have to get sick when they were supposed to spend New Year's weekend at Aiden's cabin? "It's okay mom, people get sick all the time," Nate stated. "I know, but, I will have to cancel our trip with Aiden, since you're both not well," Katherine sighed. Her children were sick so of course she couldn't leave them. "No, no, no!" gave out Nate. "Mom we'll be fine. You should go.""Mom you cannot cancel, because of us." Nola inferred. "Plus we really wanted to come to Aiden's cabin, so you have to go so you can show us pictures and tell us all about it.""Oh my little munchkins. I can't go without you two. It's New Year's weekend and who better should I ring in the New Year with than the two l
