(This is Ethan's P.O.V. not sure why wattpad is not changing the correction I made.
_____________
To say that Sunday dinner wasn't a bust would be a lie.
The tension between Quinn and I could be cut with a cord, Evan never showed up, and Shantel wasn't feeling well and left early to go back to Atlanta!
I was so ready for today so that the work week would start back and I could find solace in my office.
"Ok I'm leaving. You two can get back to work!" I get up from the chair and walk across the room of the huge office over looking the city to the play area at the side.
"E! E!" Blayze rolls on his stomach and then pushes himself up running to me once he sees me approaching.
"Hey little man!" I swoop him up into my arms. "Gonna give uncle a kiss?" I ask him.
He kisses my cheek and I smile.
I love this little boy. He's my nephew but most time I wish he was my own.
"Rae!" She looks up from the stack of paper in front of her. "I'm going to lunch. I'm going to take Blayze with me and return him when I get back."
"That's fine Ethan. I'm sure he will be happy to get out of the office. Just don't give him too much sweets. I don't want him bouncing off the walls or I won't be able to get any work done." She commands.
"You got it ma'am!" I salute her and Blayze laughs. "Tell mommy and daddy bye!"
Bryce finally looks up from what he's doing and leans back. "So you're just going to leave your dad? You don't want to stay with daddy?" He asks Blayze who in response shakes his head no.
Bryce gasps and covers his face and Blazye laughs hysterically.
"That's ok. Go have fun with your uncle."
"Do you two want me to bring you back something?" I ask them.
"No. Thanks for offering but we won't be here all day. We're leaving soon to pick the kids up and take the boys to soccer practice . They demanded last night that their father be at practice today. Your coming to their first game on Saturday right?" Rae beams.
"Would miss it for the world."
With that we left.
All the women in the office adore the kids.
They all wave at Blazye as we pass by either saying how cute or adorable he is.
We went out of the building and to the cafe right across the street. It had become a regular lunch spot for my assistant and I.
I ordered myself a ham and cheese sandwich, tenders and fried for Blayze and a grilled chicken flatbread sandwich for my assistant.
Once I paid and received my order. I took the bag and Blazye and I walk back across the street to the building and take the elevator up to my floor.
I went into the break room and retrieved two bottles of Fiji water and a Caprisun out of the stuff that's kept for the kids.
"Juce E! Juce!" I hand Blayze the ju and he instantly rips the straw off trying to stick it in the hole.
"Hold on little man. I will open it for you." I say now having too many things in my hands.
I make my way back to my office and thought about leaving my assistants food on her desk but didn't since she isn't sitting there. I'll just wait on her to get back.
I drop the bag and bottles of waters on my desk and put Blayze to stand. I then walk over to the couch against the wall and take up the blanket laying across the back of it.
As I open it up the smell of Quinn hits my nostril and I pull it closer and take a long draw breathing in the smell. She always used to come to the office and hang out when I had large projects that kept me here. Normally I would invite her to or she would offer. But lately, things haven't been the same and I can feel us growing more distant each day.
Maybe I need to suggest counseling.
"E!" Blayze is standing at my leg holding up the juice and straw for me to open it for him.
I stoop in front of him, take the plastic off the straw, stick it in the drink and put it to his lips.
He took one big sip and smile. "Mmmhhh!"
I handed him the juice and spread the blanket on the floor and then got the bag with the food, the remote for the tv and sat down.
Blayze came and sat in between my legs. I lay our food out and open a honey mustard packet for him to eat his chicken. I then broke the chicken in small pieces with some fries and put it in front of him.
This boy loves to eat. I think his favorite time of the day is food time.
He's smart too. He knows to dip in the sauce before he eats.
I find myself watching him instead of eating my own food.
I wonder if this is how I will be with my own kids.
I should ask Bryce to let me adopt Blayze. Ha!! Yeah right.
Like he would give away his kids.
But even then I don't want to adopt. I want my own kids.
"E! Eat eat!" Blayze says holding up a piece of chicken for me to eat it. I bend my head and open my mouth using my lips to latch onto his finger with the chicken making a gobble gobble sound as I fake eating his fingers.
The squeal of laughter must of drew attention to my office as I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in!"
The door opens and in pops my assistant.
"I knew that it was this cutie pie that I was hearing!" She says. "Hi Blayze!"
As she stood at my door my eyes rome her legs. Good grief. I never realized how short her skirt is. Those legs are tan and toned. They look really sexy. She's normally wearing pants but not today.
The phone at her desk rang and she excuse herself to answer it. As she turn to leave. I notice her butt moving with each step.
Is she not wearing underwear?
Soon she return and close the door.
"So you went to lunch without me?" She pouts making her plump lips stand out.
I smile at her and hold up the the sandwich and bottle of water I brought for her. "Come sit." I pat the spot in front of me.
As she sat down her skirt rode up and I swore I saw pink lace before she got situated.
I look away and instantly thought about Quinn which made me feel guilty. But at the end of the day I am a man. I can't help looking sometimes when it right in front of my eyes. It's not like I went out of my way to see up under her skirt.
With that, I push the guilt aside.
"I'm starving!" she says as she crosses her legs.
"Here you go!" I hand her the stuff.
"Thanks! I really appreciate it, You know, the part where you do my job. Why didn't you tell me. I would have did your lunch run as always or I would have sent with you."
"It's ok. I really just wanted to go for a walk to clear my mind and take Blayze out of the building." I tell her watching her lick her lips with her eyes closed as she takes a bite and the cheese drips on her lip.
I clear my throat.
"He's so adorable. I can't wait to have my own children." She says looking at Blayze before taking a swig of her water.
That caught my attention.
"I mean you're married, well you've been married. What's stopping you if you don't mind me asking?" I really didn't mean to pry but the way she said it reminded me of myself.
So desolate.
"No it's ok. My husband doesn't think we're ready. But I've been ready and waiting for the last two years. I think he really doesn't want kids or at least my kids." She sighs.
"Don't say that. Your a beautiful woman and I'm sure you will make beautiful children and be a terrific mother. If I was your husband I wouldn't want to wait."
She blushes.
Shit.
"I'm sort I didn't mean to say that. I was out of line." I apologize.
"No. I needed to hear that. Thank you so much Ethan." She smiles timidly.
"Your welcome Meghan." I return her smile.
This is refreshing. This is stress free.
Why can't Quinn be more like her.
That would solve all our problems.
