Page 77 of Beyond Repair: Part Two
Shaking my head adamantly, I feel my desperation to be understood rise. "I won't push you away. I swear."
"No swearing," Trev scolds with a slight tease in his tone.
"For you," I squeeze his thigh harder, "I'll swear to keep you every day. I just don't want you to feel trapped."
"Nope. Not trapped," Trevor explains like a caveman. "In love. Just like my cousin said. We're moving in with you. We're settling our family down and figuring out the future one step at a time."
Goodness. My tears flow again. I think I could crumble into a gooey pile of love and excitement. "Okay. Yes please." I really think I can feel their love and acceptance surround me in the silence that follows our agreement of a future together.
Then Kai nudges Henry again. "What house?"
"Oh!" Henry cheers and gently slaps his hand on my parted thighs in excitement. "It's fucking gorgeous. I've been making sure it's furnished. Working out the details to make sure all of our other house shit gets delivered on move in day was a bit tricky because the other house is selling and we have that storage unit from our old house too. But it will all get there."
Excitement bursts like a real life firework in my chest. I lunge forward and grip Henry's shirt. "WHAT?! WE GOT IT?! WE GOT THE HOUSE?!"
He nods happily. "Yeah, pretty girl. They accepted your dad's offer this morning."
"NO WAY!" I screech, bouncing on my bottom. "Wait, how didyouknow about this?"
Henry glances at Trevor for some reason. "Will told me."
"When? And why not tell the rest of us?" Ridge wonders, sounding suspicious.
Henry gives me an apologetic look. "Ah, well. I was watching over Nina while she sat on the curb the other night. Willwas there and told me what she's been up to when she's not sleeping."
Trevor couldn't get more tense if he tried. "You wereWHERE?!"
Henry cringes at the same time I do.So that's why he glanced at Trev.
The safety lecture begins and I express my reasoning about finally being free, which makes the four of them soften enough that I can focus on my sheer excitement about the house.
Life is really going to move forward!
