Page 28 of Not About That Life
While I’m salivating in my seat like a dog in Palm Springs heat, Ian and Emma are having a casual conversation. What? I know my man didn’t just turn me all the way the fuck on, just to leave me hanging while he’s entertaining his sister-in-law?
Ooh, I love and hate his smug ass.
“Enjoy your dinner, ladies. If you need anything, please have someone come get me personally.” He left.
Emma watches Ian leave before she addresses me again. “You need to be patient with Ian. I don’t know how he acts for sure but it might get ugly. But whatever happens, don’t take it personal. He never thought he would be in a position where he would be in a relationship and he’d deal with his mother’s death.”
I’m trying to calm down my arousal while Emma is talking serious business with me. I shake my head to relieve the thoughts. “He’s avoided relationships because of that?”
“Pretty much. He’s a bit of a loner but he does love you and wants you to be a part of his world. But if he acts funky for the entire month of December, remember he’s a pretty good guy the other eleven months.”
Seems fair enough. I only hope I can handle it. “I’ll remember.”
