Redeeming 6: Boys of Tommen #4

It scared the shit out of me, and all I could think about was if I didn’t get you away from me, I would end up destroying my world, because that’s what you are to me, Aoif. You’re my whole goddamn world wrapped up in one girl.

“Joe’s the only parent I remember having, so, trust me when I tell you that your kid…” He paused to gesture to my stomach before adding, “Is going to have one hell of a father.”

Everyone is asking about you, and I’m covering for your ass, when I don’t even know if you’re ALIVE!!!
Please, Joey.

Either he was going to kill me, or I was going to kill him.

At least, if he finished it, I could rest.

I could just have
peace.

“I’m not saying that I think you’d do it,” he offered.
“But you’re—”

“I’m my father’s son,” I filled in flatly.
“I get it.”

So, don’t fucking sit there and pretend that I’m incapable of being a good father to
my
kid when that’s
exactly
what I’ve been doing for
yours
since I was twelve!”

“How about I don’t plan on fucking around on you because it takes up all of my time and energy just trying to navigate your many sparkling personalities.”

“I’m sorry, okay?”

“Don’t come too close, Kev,” I called over my shoulder, as I stormed down the footpath away from my brother.
“You wouldn’t want the neighbors seeing you associating with the family
slut
.”

So?
You’re always pissed at me, and I’m always loving you.

“Please tell me you didn’t cheat on her?
Because that girl is amazing and you need to marry her.”

“The fuck?”
