Fave. Follow. Review.
"Westlyn, you are out of your freaking mind", she mumbled to herself as she submerged herself deeper into her bubble bath. The kids were both fast asleep in their rooms and Jon was currently in the shower across from her tub. She eyed his muscles and the water dripping off of him; God, he was so gorgeous. "It had been a weekend that from the outside would have looked like a happy, normal family. They had gone on a hiking trip and had a picnic, they had cooked together and watched movies cuddled on the couch. Brynn was a total different kid- she was happier than she had been in the time her parents were divorced; and Westlyn was angry with herself. She was angry because she too was happy, and she knew it was only temporary no matter how much she has started wishing it was permanent.
"Like what you see?" Jon winked causing her to deeply roll her eyes, "it's okay", she teased. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist, walking over he sat on the edge of her tub. "What's wrong?" He asked knowing the look on her face, "The illusion of this whole weekend is about to go away and I don't know why I'm sad about it." "What do you mean?" He questioned with a deep crease in his forehead, "You go back to Vegas tomorrow", "I don't have to", "Renee?" Jon sighed deeply, "what do you want out of this West?" "I don't know." She pulled herself out of the tub and grabbed her towel as he moved, "this has been a really great weekend and you and I have gotten along so much better and Brynn is so happy and-" she was cut off by her phone ringing, she grabbed it from the counter and closed her eyes, "Awesome." "Deadbeat baby daddy #2 flashed across the screen and Jon chuckled when he looked over her shoulder, "nice name." She rolled her eyes as she slid the screen over to answer, "Hello?" "I'm coming into town tomorrow to see my daughter", he said abruptly, "Hello to you too Fergal, yes, I'm fine. Delilah is fine. Brynn is fine. We're all fine. It's fine. Sure intrude yourself all you want and tell me what you're going to do." She shoot back in a monotone, "I'm taking her with me to spend a few days with myself and Veronica", Westlyn let out a dry chuckle, "Absolutely not", "Westlyn, I'm her father", "I mean this with absolutely full offense, you're not much of a father so you can't pull the card." She could tell over the phone she had hit him where it hurt, but after he walked out and acted this way she didn't care. "YOU may come to MY home and see her and spend time with her. YOUR wife is far from invited, I'll reevaluate my feelings towards this situation when you start acting like her father and not her sperm donor and if you have any issue with it your lawyer has my lawyers number." Westlyn ended the call and pushed past Jon into her room, she yanked on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and started mumbling to herself about her taste in baby daddy's. "Wes", Jon spoke softly as he stepped out of the bathroom dressed in a pair of lounge shorts that hung off his hips perfectly, she turned around and frowned at him, "what?" "I love you." "Don't." "Don't what?" "Don't love me till you don't have a ring on your finger anymore, don't love me till that's over, just don't..." her voice cracked and she sighed, "I've always loved you even when I hated you and this weekend has been amazing, but the reality is Jon, you're married to Renee and I'm just doing to her what she did to me and I don't feel bad about it at all, but I do feel awful about how Brynn is going to feel if or when nothing changes." Jon immediately stepped to her and wrapped his arms around her pulling him flush against him, "It's gonna change, I promise. I'm going to Vegas to pack my stuff and come back here", he said against her hair, "It's over with Renee." She looked up at him and shook her head, "How'd we end up here?" "I don't know kid, but I'm happy we're here because despite me being a world class fuck up, you still love me." She shook her head, "We'll figure it out one day at a time, but for now let's enjoy our last night together before I'm gone for a couple days." Before she could speak he captured her lips in his and hoisted her up by her hips, making her wrap her legs around his waist before walking them over to the bed and falling into it and each other.
