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.
