Chapter 13

Alexis

“Are you fucking with me?” I flash a grin over to Nolan King, ex-boyfriend, ex-classmate, now single dad who makes all the panties in the county want to drop. “She did not offer to warm your bed when she's not changing your daughter's diapers.”

He holds his hands up. “Before God. I swear.”

“Tell me she's not watching Ashlynn right now.”

His eyes roll so hard I think they could end up in the sky. “Fuck no. Mom took her to church.”

“And you're at the bar having a beer. There's something wrong with this picture.”

“Nope,” he argues. “All is right because I needed a beer after that. <em>Who does that</em>?”

“Obviously, Kendra from the temp-nanny agency.” I giggle and stick my tongue out at him. 

“God, now I know why we broke up,” he deadpans.

“We were fifteen. It was you, not me.” I bat my eyes at him, holding my hand to my chest.

He tosses a peanut at me. “Oh, fuck off. Just give me another.”
