It’s time to eat.” I look up and see Julie standing on the porch. She’s wearing a pair of red shorts that just cover her amazing ass. She has on a plain tee that hugs her body, giving me a great view of her tits. Her brown hair is pulled into a pony tail, and her beautiful blue eyes are staring right at me. She smiles and motions for us to come on in.
I smile back and allow Jenny to pull me into the house. I can’t believe that I’m going to have dinner with my family.
Chapter 9
Julie
I’m not sure how it happened, but Jase has been at my house every night for nearly three weeks. Sometimes he takes Jenny to the park or to get an ice cream, but most of the time, they just hang out here. He’s really awesome with her. He’s up for anything she wants. The other day, I walked in on them playing Barbie’s. It was the sweetest thing I ever saw.
Tonight, they are out back playing on the tire swing. Bethany and I are sitting in the living room watching Army Wives . I can hear Jenny shouting for him to push her higher. I smile when I hear her laugh. God, I wish things could have been different. I wish we could have been the family that Jenny needs.
“When are you going to forgive him?” Bethany asks.
I look over to her and just shake my head. Doesn’t she realize that it’s not about forgiveness? Staying away from Jase is pure self-preservation.
“You know I love you , Jules, but you have let this go on for too long. You love that man, and he loves you. Both of you love Jenny. You need to be a family.”
I start to respond, but I am cut off by the front door opening. Matty walks in and I can tell that something is wrong. I get up and walk over to him.
“What’s wrong, Matty?”
“I need to talk to you for a minute,” he responds, and then looks over to Bethany. “Can you give us a few minutes alone?”
“Sure ,” she agrees and quickly leaves the room.
Matty looks at me and runs his fingers through his hair. “What’s going on between you and Jase?”
“What are you talking about ?” I shake my head and add, "He’s Jenny’s dad. That’s it.”
“Are you sure?”
For some reason, I hesitate. Was I sure? No!
“Look , Jules, I need to know if you’re still in love with Jase.”
“Why? What’s this all about?”
“Shit! You have to know how I feel about you. I’ve been waiting my whole life for you. When you came back to town, I thought I’d finally get my shot, but I see the way you look at Jase, and I wonder if you’ll ever look at me that way.”
I’m shocked. I neve r even considered that Matty has feelings for me. In fact, I always thought he had a thing for Kristen. I’m not sure how to respond to him. I do love him, but not in the way he wants. Before I have a chance to explain, Matty pulls me into his arms and kisses me. I start to pull away, when I hear Jenny’s voice.
“Yuck, Uncle Matty’s kissing Momma!”
Matty and I separate, and we both turn towards the kitchen to see Jenny and Jase coming in the back door. Jenny is scrunching her nose up, like she just smelled something really bad. But, Jase. Shit! Jase looks like his heart is broken.

Jase
I love spending time with Jenny. She’s an amazing little girl. She laughs all the time and is always in a good mood. Being with her makes me happy. The only thing that could make me happier is being with her and Julie. I think Julie is starting to come around. She’s invited me to stay for dinner a few times, and she never complains when I come over. I even caught her looking at my ass yesterday. That’s got to be a good sign, right?
I’m pushing Jenny on the tire swing, and she’s telling me all about her day. She loves school. She’s smart as hell. Jenny hasn't even been in school for a month, and I ’ve already got a refrigerator covered in smiley face papers.
"Push me higher , Daddy."
