EXCERPT- Forgiving Reed by C.A. Harms
I
took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Almost immediately Diesel began to
bark and Rhett grew excited. I could hear Reed’s deep voice trying to calm
Diesel. The moment the door came open and that gorgeous smile spread out across
his lips, all the nervous energy disappeared.
“Hey
you, come here, little man.” Reed held his hands out to Rhett and in no time at
all my son was lunging for him. Rhett griped Reed’s shirt tightly and kicked
his legs as he looked down at the big dog that was spastically wagging his
tail. A loud squeal escaped Rhett when Diesel barked, the sight was one I would
always have etched in my mind.
If
you would have asked me six months ago if I would be falling for Reed, I would
have laughed. I promised myself I would never go there again. Once a cheater
always a cheater. Right? Now here I was standing in his doorway, while he held
my son close and tickled his tummy. I could see the adoration in Reed’s eyes as
he looked at Rhett. I had to accept that he had changed. Reed was no longer
that selfish young boy. He had changed, things had happened that forced him to
grow.
“You
gonna come inside?” Reed tilted his head toward the house and I took a step in
through the doorway. His house was beautiful, and surprisingly clean. It was
nothing like I expected. It had that homey feeling, the one that you get when
you walked in to a place you belong.
I
could feel Reed against my back as he stepped up behind me. “It feels good
having you here, both of you.” He kissed my head softly and nudged me forward.
“Thanks
for inviting us.” I spoke softly still not trusting my voice. I had mixed
emotions right now. It felt so right to be here with him, yet I felt guilty for
that. Was I moving too fast?
We
decided to stay in and make something to eat. A movie on the big screen was the
plan. It felt so natural for Rhett to be hobbling around the kitchen while Reed
and I made dinner. Diesel was attached to my little guy’s hip. It really was
the sweetest thing. If Rhett stopped walking, Diesel sat back on his hind legs
next to him and waiting patiently. The moment Rhett was on the move again,
Diesel jumped to follow close behind.
