Mother Faker

But I wouldn’t get through my day to day life without my girlfriends and that is what this series is about. Friendship. Love. And figuring out how to laugh through the crazy.

I drive him crazy. I leave him breathless. I’m who he’s always wanted.

“He’s either in their lives or he’s out. I won’t have Winnie feeling like she doesn’t matter.”

“Beckett…” I murmur. “What if the kids find out?”

“Then they’ll know their mom and stepdad did everything they could to ensure they have a relationship with their dad. They’ll know we set aside our feelings for him and chose them. That’s all I ever want them to see. Us putting them first, choosing them. Hopefully Drake won’t screw this up. Hopefully he’ll take this second chance and run with it. But if he doesn’t, they’ll always know love, Livy. And so will you.”

“I guess, for a man, you aren’t the worst. I mean, you are still an idiot, but you’re our idiot.”

“Tell me now if you’re here for the reason I think you are. Because I really need to kiss you, but I won’t do it in front of the kids if you’re not ready.”

“Kiss me, Beckett. Show them what love looks like. You’ve been doing it all along, anyway.”

Finn grabs my wrist. “Bossman, what do you always says?”

“We men take care of the girls,” he grumbles.

Finn smiles at Beckett like he’s a proud parent. “I’ll holds the flashlight, and you do the crawling.”

“If you fuck like you kiss, I’m never giving you up.”

Damn. My knees wobble and my stomach flips. What was I saying about book boyfriends again?

“Do all my employees know how I sound when I come?”

Nope, don’t miss the days before her at all. But if I don’t figure out how to hold on to this woman, I’m going to miss these.

Is that what I’m doing with Beckett? Getting back in the game? Is any of what we’re doing real?
