WHITEBOARD NOTE
Your brownies might be delicious but they’re not softening the blow of you avoiding me
Come on Blaze, don’t make me beg, show me that beautiful face of yours
Iwillingly kissed Grayson—again.
Willingly isn’t the right word, I was practicallybegginghim to kiss me. I was like a damn cat in heat. Hence why I’m now mortified that I straddled my boss’s lap and stuck my tongue down his throat.
That is also the reason why it’s been three days since I’ve seen him. Does he deserve that after everything he’s done for my mom? Absolutely not. But I know the second I see him I’ll want to do it again.
And I can’t allow myself to get any closer.
So, I’ve been avoiding him.
Not completely. It’s hard to with Bambi now—bless her heart—but the moment Grayson gets home I find something to do or I suddenly remember an errand I need to run for him.
From the notes Grayson is leaving me on the whiteboard, heknows what I’m doing. He’s also upped his game by texting me adorable photos of Bambi, trying to lure me into the same room as them.
I’m not sure what the whiteboard has in store for me today because I’ve taken the morning off to go with Layla and her family to drop her off at the airport. I’ve been sitting in my car for the last thirty minutes waiting for them to arrive while forcing myself to not cry.
This is not about me or my feelings.
It’s about Layla today.
As my phone buzzes with an incoming text, it only further proves my point.
LAYLA
Beware, Momma Bear Carson hasn’t stopped crying
You and me both, Momma Bear Carson. You and me both.
I’m about to respond when another comes in.
LAYLA
