Wrestling with Love

Chapter Three-Revelations.

~Talia's point of view~

The next morning, I wake up and grab my phone.

Talia: "Shit."

I am so fucking stupid.

Talia: "Fuck."

I should have paid attention.

Talia: "Shit, shit, shit."

I jump out of bed in a rush to get ready.

Cage: "Babe?"

Talia: "What?"

Cage: "What's your problem?"

Talia: "I overslept. The boys are way late for school."

Cage: "No, they aren't. They're at school."

Talia: "What? How?"

Cage: "Jaxon. He got them ready and took them to school."

Talia: "Oh."

Cage laughs.

Talia: "What?"

Cage: "You're cute when you're panicking."

Talia: "Glad you find it funny."

Cage: "Come lay back down, Babe."

Talia: "We have things to do."

Cage: "Meeting with the lawyer about the house is at eleven, and the bank is at twelve-thirty. Come lay back down."

Talia: "Fine."

I lay down with him. My heart is beating crazy fast.

Cage: "You have helped here, Talia."

Talia: "I know. I didn't think about it. I saw the time and actually forgot you were here until you spoke."

Cage: "Am I that easily forgotten?"

Talia: "Never."

Cage: "I woke up early and turned your alarm off. Jaxon and I worked out. He and I got the boys up and ready for school. He took them to breakfast and school."

Talia: "God, I love being home sometimes."

Cage: "You should have never left."

Talia: "I can't take it back, Cage."

Cage: "I wouldn't want you to. All that matters is you're here now."

Talia: "I don't get it."

Cage: "Don't get what?"

Talia: "You and Jax both know I've been with both of you. Yet you both still want to be there."

Cage: "That should tell you something, Talia."

Talia: "Just adds to the confusion."

Cage: "Can I tell you something without you getting mad?"

Talia: "Yes."
