The Unexpected

Chapter 41

"We can't leave yet." I say. "You haven't showed me the rest of the house."

He smiles. "I guess I should give this back then."

He hands me the note which has my name on the outside. Opening it, I immediately recognize Matt's handwriting. The note reads:

Mia,
Congratulations on the house! I wish I could be there to share this wonderful moment with you but I'm a busy man (especially now that I'm planning a beach wedding). I am very proud of you. You've grown into a strong woman and amazing mother. Keep the past in the past and look at your sexy future beside you. Enjoy the champagne.

Love,
Matt

A big smile forms on my face. He is the sweetest. "How long has he known?"

"I mentioned it to him before we left California and he told me to keep him updated." He explains. "We exchanged numbers and he was the first to know."

"He's sweet. Thank you for this." I look down at the bottle of champagne. "We should put this away for our first night in here."

He nods. "We can. Let me show you the house then we can go home and pack."

"Okay."

************************

Since Tyler has completed rooms for both kids, he insisted on keeping that furniture for the new house. I agreed on everything except for Addison's crib. The one I bought her was beautiful and expensive.

Once all of the kids stuff is at the new house, we go into Tyler's room. We stand in the doorway staring at the disaster. "I'll get trash bags." He says.

"Good idea."

While he goes downstairs I kick everything into one corner then begin going through it. I put clothes in one pile, trash in another, and random things in the last pile. When I begin pulling stuff out from under his bed, I find a pink bra.

Memories come back to me and I remember the first time I found this bra. It was the day his mother told me he came home with a girl. He told me it was for the ring and I believed him but I had completely forgotten about this.

Pulling more stuff out from beneath the bed I find matching lace panties. I quickly toss them on the bed and continue pulling stuff out. When I feel something weird, I quickly pull back my hand and look under the bed.

Condom wrappers are everywhere but there is a used condom beside them... and I just touched it.

Bile rises in my throat and I quickly stand up. I go into the bathroom and wash my hands in disgust. When I leave the bathroom, I begin heading downstairs. "Where are you going?" Tyler asks halfway up the stairs.

"You're disgusting. I'm done."

His eyes widen as I pass by him. "You're breaking up with me?"

My eyebrows furrows and I look up at him. "No. I meant you're disgusting and I'm done helping with your room."

"Why? What happened?"

Sighing, I begin going back upstairs with him following close behind. When I see the bra and panties on his bed, I shake my head. "I touched a used condom under your bed. Whose are those?"

He shrugs. "I don't know."

"You know how you told me you came back here for your wallet with that girl from the jewelry store?" He nods. "The same day I found this bra. That's another reason why I had broken up with you but I forgot."

He sighs in exasperation. "Look, I know I've treated you like shit in the past but I can promise you I've never cheated on you. What do I have to do to get you to believe me?"

There's a long moment of silence. "This still doesn't change the fact that you're disgusting." I say softly.

He chuckles. "I had needs."

"You could clean though. I don't know why any girl would want to come into this room." I say looking around in disgust.

He smirks. "You did."

Turning around, he closes the door and locks it. I give him a questioning look. "What are you doing?"

He pushes everything off of the bed except for the pillow. I shriek when he sweeps me off of my feet. He places me on the bed, laying my head back on the pillow. "This is the last time we're gonna be able to make love in here. My parents are making it into an office."

He takes off my sweatpants and panties in one swift movement. I knew I had to be comfortable for moving so I wore a t-shirt and sweatpants. Not exactly attractive. "I look like crap." I pout.

"You look beautiful. Take off your top." He says.

Sitting back on his heels he pulls his shirt off. I sit up pull my shirt off then take off my bra. His lips find mine and he kisses me until I'm laying down again. Moving his mouth to my neck, he begins sucking and nipping at my skin. His body grinds against mine, his jeans creating a somewhat satisfying friction.

After a moment, his lower half no longer touches me. When his lips are back on my mouth, he slams into me. I gasp in surprise but he captures my lips again. Pulling away to catch his breath, he lifts my hips slightly and sets a fast pace. "We have to be quick. My parents will be here soon."

I stare at him with so much love that I get lost in him. When his eyes shut tightly, I know he's about to come undone. That's when I realize that he's not wearing a condom. "Ty, you're not wearing anything!" I yell, pulling away from him.

He can't stop himself. His warm arousal covers my chest and we both stare down at it. My eyes slowly move up to him and his cheeks burn. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't -" He stops, frustrated. "I can't believe I forgot."

"Don't apologize." I say softly. "It was... kind of hot."

He stares at me in surprise. "Really?"

I shrug. "Look at the bright side, we can shower together now."

He sighs. He carries me into the bathroom and sets me in the shower. I turn the water on and begin washing my chest. "Do you need me to do anything? You didn't -"

"Babe. It's fine." I say. "You can make it up to me next time."

Smiling, he wraps his arms around me and kisses my forehead.
