(Sequel to My Brother's Best Friend)
DISCLAIMER: YOU MUST READ THE FIRST BOOK FIRST
Three years ago Bethany Carrington got pregnant at the age of 16 by Blake Matthews, her brother's best friend. Towards the middle of her pregnancy she miscarried. Sh...
I've been running around my room for the last hour trying to find an outfit for tonight. This is the first time in long time I've been on a date with Blake and I'm not going to lie. I'm nervous as hell. My mom came by earlier and asked to take Emma for the weekend and of course I let her. I don't get many breaks often, but when I do I try to make the most out of them.
I look around my room once I find an outfit and notice how wrecked my room looks. I'm definitely going to have to clean up before I go. I go to the bathroom and start running the water to take a shower before going back to my room and undressing. When I step in the shower I sigh as the hot water runs over my tense muscles. I wash my hair leaving my conditioner in while I shave my legs and do the other necessities before washing it out. I wash my body two times with my bath and body works body wash. I step out of the shower with just a towel on around my body. I pull my hair up into a bun while I do my makeup. I put on a light layer of foundation with a beauty blender. I put some concealer under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, and on my T zone before blending it all in. I set my face with some powder before filling in my eyebrows. I decide to go with a natural eye with a little lip gloss. I bronze my cheekbones and little and apply some highlighter to my face as a finishing touch.
I take my hair down from the bun and start blow drying my hair. Once it's dried I put it up in a high ponytail and curl it. After all my hair is curled I let the ponytail down and shake my hair out so it's more wavy than curly. I turn the light off as I leave the bathroom to get dressed. I put on my white laced top, my pink skirt, and some white heels on. I put a few bracelets on my wrist to complete the look before touching up my hair with some hairspray.

I check the clock and see that it's already 4:56 and Blake said he'd be here at 5. I throw some things in my clutch and by the time I finish spraying perfume there's a knock at the door. I walk over to the door and take a deep breath before opening it up. As soon as I open the door Blake looks up.
"Wow" He breathes
"What? Is there something wrong? I can go change" I say point towards my room
"You look beautiful" He smiles
"Thank you" I instantly smile
"Are you ready?" He asks holding out his hand
"Yes" I say placing my hand in his
We walk to his car and we drive in a comfortable silence. Thirty minutes later he stops at the lookout the oversees the town. We arrive just in time to watch the sunset. Blake cuts the engine off and reaches in the back for a basket and a blanket. We get out of the car and he starts setting up the blanket on the hood of his car. I take this time to look over at him. He's wearing khaki slacks with a navy button up shirt. I look down regretting how formal I look. Blake glances up and gives me a smile before taking my hand. He leads me to sit with him on the hood and we look out into the view.
"The view is beautiful" I smile
"Yeah it is" He agrees
I look over to give him a smile to see him already looking over at me. I blush and look away. I fiddle with my fingers as he laughs and pulls out two glasses and a bottle of champagne. I fills both glasses and hands one to me.
"You look like you could use a glass" He chuckles
"I'm kind of nervous" I admit taking the glass from him
"Why?" He asks "It's just me"
"It is you" I chuckle "We haven't spoken in a long time. It's like I'm meeting a whole new person"
"I'm the same person I was when I left. Madly and deeply in love with you" He says
"You're not the same" I shrug "You've changed. You've matured a lot"
"Same for you" He says "Although you're way different than what I remember three years ago"
"I kind of had to. Taking the role of both mom and dad isn't exactly easy" I say taking a sip from my glass
"I wish you would've told me so I could've been there to help. But, what's done is done and I'm grateful that I know now"He smiles
"Me too" I smile back
He reaches into the basket and pulls out some grapes, one of my favorite fruits. He pulls off a stem and hands me some as he does the same for himself. We stare out into the sunset and somehow our fingers intertwine.
"So what's going to happen when I go back?" He asks out of the blue
"I don't know" I sigh "We can visit each other as much as we can, talk on he phone. I just don't like the idea of having a two year old flying back and forth all the time"
"Then why don't you and Emma come with me?" He asks
"What?" I laugh "Blake that's insane. Our families are here, I can't just take her away from them like that. Plus my job's here that I just started"
"So for the next two years the only time I will get to see you and my daughter is through a computer screen or after hours on a plane?" He sighs "Things would've been so much easier three years ago if I hadn't left. If I had the slightest clue that you still wanted me in your life I would've never left"
"But look at where we are" I suggest "Three years later and we've managed to find out way back to each other"
"I guess you're right" He smiles at me
Before letting my thoughts get the best of me, I lean forward and connect our lips. He kisses me back with so much love and passion I lose my breath. Without breaking apart he puts his arm around my waist and moves me so I'm straddling his waist. My hands gently caress his jawline while his hands roam up and down my body. An involuntarily moan escapes from my mouth and he pushes the basket off the car hood without anything breaking luckily. He moves us so he's in between my legs and I'm on my back against the car. I unbutton his shirt and remove it from his arms. He bunches my skirt up at my waist and draw slow patterns against my thigh. His mouth moves to my neck and I tilt my head aside to give him more access. His fingers find my zipper on my top and drags it down before removing it. He kisses down my collarbone. while I unbutton his slacks and push them down eagerly. His fingers slow drag down my lace panties and positions himself on top of me. He pulls away and looks admiringly down at me.
"Be mine?" He asks "Again?"
"I was always yours to begin with" I whisper and he smiles
That night we ended up making love in the hood of his car as the sun went down.
