horribly guilty. I plaster a smile on my face; this isn’t the time to kill her spirits. “I’d love that!”
She beams and begins prattling about how much fun we will have with Jenny. When the visit is over, I walk out exhausted. I can’t deny that seeing her happy does bring a little burst of happiness to my own soul. Part of me, deep down, knows she didn’t mean to hurt me. I can only do my best to move past it and try to slowly build a relationship with her again.
“Hey baby.” Jagger grins when I walk out.
“Hey yourself, ”
“I need your mad cooking skills tonight.”
“Oh?”
“Maggie and Aunt Mary are coming over; they want to get to know you better.”
“Aunt Mary?”
“She’s my Mom’s sister; she took us in when Mom died. She’s great.”
I smile. “I’d love to meet her, and I’d love to see Maggie again. Sure, I’ll cook.”
“Pot roast?”
I grin. “You got it handsome. ”
He smirks and grips my hips, pulling me close. He looks up at me from his spot on the waiting chairs and I feel heat creep into my cheeks. Looking down into those crystal blue eyes mak es everything fall into place.
“Can I have anything I want?”
I take his face in my hands, “Within reason.”
“Can I have this body…all to myself?”
“You already have it.”
“I want all of it. ”
I frown. “You’ll get all of it, you impatient ass. It’s not my fault your dick is too big to…”
A lady clears her throat and my cheeks swell instantly. I had forgotten for a moment where we are. I turn and stare at the two families staring at us in shock. I look back down at Jagger, whose face is blank for a moment, and then he bursts out laughing, gripping his stomach and doubling over. I rush out, mortified that I said that so loudly.
“Aw, come here baby!” he laughs, jogging behind me as I rush down the street.
“I can’t believe I just did that!”
“Neither, that was classic.”
I slap his arm and he smirks at me.
“Take me shopping; I need chocolate, a lot of it.”
He winks at me and helps me into the car where he proceeds to chuckle . I crank up the radio and ignore him.
“Aw baby, come on, it was funny!”
“Prick,”
We drive down the road, and I wind down the window, letting the wind whip through my hair.
“You look fuckin’ perfect sitting beside me right now, Willow.”
I turn and grin at him, “Oh yeah?”
“Yeah,”
I hear a favorite song come on, and I squeal and clap my hands. Jagger rolls his eyes.
“Aw come on baby,” I croon. “Sing with me.”
“Yeah, that’s not going to happen.”
I grin at him, and then begin singing in my loudest, ugliest voice. He roars with laughter, but I keep going.
“Girl you make my speakers go boom boom…”
“Come on baby, live it up for me. I thought you’d do anything for me.” I tease.
He laughs and then surprises me by singing.
“That kinda thing makes a man go mhmm mhmm; You're lookin' so good in what's left of those blue jeans.”
Wow, that was fuckin’ sexy. Jagger has a husky voice, and when he’s happy and carefree like this, he just looks so perfect. He’s got that deep kind of beauty that can be expressed in so many different ways. He’s deep.
“ I’m a little drunk on you, and high on summer time!” We both sing loudly.
“See, now you know why you love me!” I giggle, when the song finishes.
He looks over at me for a moment, and his smile slips away and is replaced with a serious expression.
“I’ve always known why I loved you, Willow baby.”
I smile and continue singing and laughing the entire way to the store.
“At least you’re over what happened at your mother’s institution.” He teases.
“Oh, that was a real ego booster for you, wasn’t it Mr. Black?”
“Fuck yeah; you just raved about how big my cock is…”
My cheeks swell and in a husky voice, I purr, “Say that again.”
“Cock,” he drawls, grinning at me.
“And again…”
“Cock baby, cock, cock,
