39 - EPOV
I got into the car and couldn't help the smile on my face.
"Eww dad, you kissed her? That's gross," Brandon said from behind me as I backed out of the driveway.
I chuckled, "Someday son, you'll want to kiss a girl."
I had stopped myself from kissing her lips. She was too tempting and I didn't want to be the one to make a first move. I knew she liked me and judging from her face as I pulled away from the brief contact I'd had with her, she probably wouldn't have minded.
But I also had to think of Bean, because once everything was revealed she'd think I had deceived her and I didn't want to add fuel to the inevitable fire that I knew for sure would come my way.
"I will not want to kiss girls. They have cooties and they're not even any fun," Brandon replied. He then turned to look at me in the rear-view mirror, "Is Bella going to be my mom?"
Shit, I heart broke right there. I choked up, not knowing what to tell him.
I wanted to say yes. I wanted her. I wanted Bean. I wanted...but knew I had to wait or I'd lose everything.
So I answered the only thing I could, "I don't know son; we'll see where it goes."
He nodded, "'Cause Bella's cool and she's a good mom to Emily. I like her, Dad."
"I know son. I like her too."
My heart breaks for that little boy...
We rented a movie so... you get a few more chapters before I go get mine!
