Chapter 42: Welcome Home Mate

LEX

I couldn't help but stare at the restroom door as I sat opposite on the nearby bench.

"We should go in there," purred Blaze.

I would, but I know it wouldn't end well if I did. It would cause problems for us. Roxie wanted to go slow, and I accepted her decision, even if it would be hard for me.

I could feel Blaze groan and huff out. He wanted Roxie to be in our arms. I knew he wasn't happy with us taking it slow with her, even though he was the one who told her we would.

I could hear the water running as she switched it on.

I let out a sigh and gazed at the floor.

My head was going into a tailspin. I couldn't believe Roxie was giving us a chance. I felt happy and couldn't wait for new beginnings. I knew we had to take it slow with her, and I didn't want to ruin something which was about to start.

I closed my eyes and looked back at Blaze, sitting on his hind legs staring back at me. "You okay?" I asked.
