I let out a sigh. “As much as I want to say no, yes…yes that is my Ford truck. ”
Heather started laughing. I stood, picked her up, and carried her back to my truck.
“I can walk, you know!”
I smiled and put her into the truck through the window.
I turned back to the officer. “Sorry. ”
He just winked at me with a grin.
I ran around, opened the door, and got into the truck. I looked over at the love of my life. “Can I take you somewhere?”
She giggled and nodded.
I winked at her. “We’re going for a ride in the country, baby. ”
Chapter Twenty-Eight
I glanced over at Josh and smiled. He was humming along to the radio, and he looked so damn happy. The moment I heard “Kiss Me,” my whole world had stopped. Ari had called to tell me that Josh was looking for me. She’d told me everything that Josh had said about what happened with Victoria. That bitch left out the fact that Josh had his memory back!
I thought we were heading back to my house, but it looked like we were heading to Mason. “Josh, you really want to go visit our friends? I thought maybe we could…you know, go back to the house,” I said as I peeked over at him.
Josh looked over and smiled at me. Oh god, that smile of his just melts my heart. My heart started pounding, and I just wanted to be with him.
“I have a surprise for you. ”
I finally figured out that we were heading to Jeff and Ari’s place. Josh had stopped at a gas station, and I could see him talking on the phone, wearing the goofiest grin on his face.
When he got back into his truck, I asked, “Who were you talking to?”
“Jeff. He’s helping me out with a little something. ”
When he grabbed my hand, the butterflies took off, and I giggled.
“What’s so funny?”
“Nothing. It’s just…well, when you reach for my hand like that, I still get butterflies in my stomach. ”
Josh glanced over and then quickly looked straight ahead again. The dimple on the side of his face was such a turn-on. I’d never seen him so happy. He asked a few questions about the baby, and I told him I’d just gone to the doctor for my first appointment last Friday. Then, we talked about changing the office into a baby room. He was so excited, and I was completely shocked at how he was not freaking out in the least bit. I was still freaked out, but he seemed…he seemed so happy.
I looked out the window, and then I closed my eyes as I pictured Josh as a dad, holding our child in his arms. My heart swelled as I felt tears building in my eyes.
“We’re here!”
I watched as Josh punched in Jeff and Ari’s gate code. The farther we drove, the weirder Josh acted. He seemed nervous as shit. Is he nervous about telling Jeff and Ari about the baby
? He has to know I already told them.
Josh took a left turn, and we started heading toward the barn.
“Are they down at the barn?”
“Um…Jeff is. ”
Josh parked the truck, and I saw Jeff coming out of the barn with Rose and Tulip, their newest horse, saddled up. When I looked back at Josh, he was rubbing his hands on his pants.
Josh jumped out of the truck and looked back in at me. “Hold on a second, princess. ”
