wondering what this was. I was going to look it up when I got back to the hotel later but it seems I have my very own shell encyclopedia on hand here. I have never found one of these in North Carolina. It’s beautiful.”
“Not as beautiful as you are.” Dexter turned me around in his arms and grabbed my face with both hands and slowly he leaned down and kissed my lips. The kiss was different than any kiss I had ever felt. It was deeper. The whole time he kissed me he rubbed the nape of my neck. He deepened the kiss running his tongue across my lips and I opened up and let him in. He tasted of coffee and mint. Suddenly remembering where we were I took a step back looking around nervously to see if anyone was paying any attention to us.
“Wow that was some kiss. I don’t think I have ever felt anything like that before by just kissing.”
After that memory came to me I was hit with an onslaught of other memories of Dexter and I. Watching the show By the Light of the Moon and deciding to take Lillian on a road trip for her birthday to meet the cast. Meeting Dexter and Rob at the park after Rob kicked the soccer ball and hit Lillian. I knew there was something about that Rob guy I didn’t like.
Having dinner at a really delicious Italian restaurant. Going to a bonfire and the beach. Dexter fixing dinner for us. Meeting his pet rooster Cooper. I still can’t believe he has a pet rooster.
After all of the memories have entered my mind I gasp in a deep breath of air and pull my hands that are still holding the shell to my chest and start to cry. I cannot believe I would have forgotten about him. He is the most amazing man I have ever met. He has been there for me in the past couple months more than anyone I could remember. I have come to the realization that I do love him more than I have ever loved any one in my life. We haven’t known each other long but I am madly and deeply in love with Dexter Sonners. My Dex.
I couldn’t wait to tell someone so I called Dex but he didn’t pick up. I left him a message.
“Hey Dex. Its Courtney, I was calling to tell you some good news. Give me a call back when you get this. Talk to you later.” He could probably tell by the excitement in my voice why I was calling.
He was probably in the middle of filming and wouldn’t be returning my call any time soon, so I decide to take a little nap before my mom arrives with the kids this afternoon.
When I wake up from my nap I notice I have a missed call from Dexter. Just as I am about to call him back I hear a car pull up into the drive way. I look out the window to see my mom and dad getting out of the car. Once they open the back passenger doors my kids pile out one at a time. God I have missed them terribly.
I walk over to the front door and head outside to greet them on the porch. Jason reaches me first and gives me a gentle hug. He probably knows most of what went on. He is twelve after all and he doesn’t miss much. He gives me a kiss on the cheek and tells me he is glad that I am okay and hearing him sound so grown up brings tears to my eyes.
Next up comes Caleb and I bend down to give him a hug. He wraps his arms around my neck and starts to cry. Mumbling on and on about how he was so scared that he was going to lose me too. By now I have tears streaking down my cheeks and I do my best to reassure him that I am going to be just fine and I am not going anywhere.
My little Miley bee toddles up the steps and I squat down to my knees so I am on her level. She has no clue what’s going on but she sees my tear stained face and she asks me what is wrong in the sweetest toddler voice I have ever heard. I tell her that I just missed her so much and I am just so happy to see her. I am crying happy tears. That seems to satisfy her because a moment later and she is already inside with her toys strewn out across the floor.
“Hey Mom. Hey Dad. Thanks for bringing the kids home and thank you so much for taking care of them and making
