Redeeming 6: Boys of Tommen #4

It was one of the reasons I loved him so much.

And a huge reason why I despised his mother

“I got those slouch boots you wanted for Christmas first

“I got those slouch boots you wanted for Christmas first

loves
you.
The hurler.
The mechanic.
The boy.
The protector.
The asshole.
The lover.
The addict.”

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!”
