Teach Me How to Love You CHAPTER 143
I couldn't stop thinking about what Lory had said. The longer I thought about it, the more right she seemed. Amy had been the reason Alan couldn't love me or admit he did, and now, even with that behind us, she was part of the reason I couldn't accept the love he was giving me.If I chose to believe him and stopped dwelling on the what-ifs, we could finally move forward and get to a better place.It wasn't like the doubts would disappear overnight, but I could work on them. I could stop letting Amy have a place in our relationship and give us a real chance.Alan picked out an outfit for our dinner and sent it over to me. When it was time, I got ready and waited for him.At six, my phone buzzed.I'm outside your place.I smiled at the message. Alan was really taking this first-date thing all the way. I grabbed my bag and headed outside.He was leaning against the driver's door with a flower in his hand.“Hi, gorgeous.”“Hi.”He handed me the flower before opening the passenger door for

“You're not going to lose me,” I assured him, tightening my arms around him. “I'm not dying on you. I promise. But you need to stop crying because this is starting to feel like you're mourning me while I'm still alive.”Alan wiped his face quickly. “Not at all. God forbid. I'm not mourning you, and I refuse to.”I understood why he was like this, especially after watching him retreat into his shell, but once his breathing steadied, I gently asked, “Would you consider therapy?”He didn't say anything for a while. “I don't need therapy,” he finally said. “What I need is for you to be alive.”“I will be.”When I started feeling the weight of him leaning on me, I teased him. “I'm already carrying two. Adding you makes it three, and that's a lot.”He moved away immediately, his eyes dropping to my stomach. “Are you okay?”I smiled. “I'm fine. Now get into bed and sleep, so I don't have to worry about you too.”He climbed into bed. “Why did you come in here in the first place?”I straighten

Alan looked up at me, then down at the floor. “Is that blood?”I didn't answer. My mind immediately went into denial. I wondered if it had actually come from me because I felt completely fine. There was no pain, no cramping, nothing.Alan tipped his head back and muttered something under his breath before coming over to me. He crouched in front of me and took my hands.“Are you alright?”I nodded. “I am. I really am.” My voice came out thin. “This has never happened before.”“Okay.” His voice was surprisingly calm. “I'll help you get dressed, and we're going back to the hospital.”I nodded again.That was how I went from getting ready for a shower to getting dressed with Alan's help and making my second trip to the hospital in one day.I had never been so nervous in my life. My heart felt like it was sitting in my palms the entire time they examined me. When the doctor finally said both babies were fine, I let out the breath I had been holding.But the relief didn't last long.She sho

Alan started the car and turned the music up before I had my seatbelt clipped.He drove with one hand on the wheel, the other tapping against his thigh as his shoulders moved to the music, grinning the entire time.He couldn't have stopped if he tried, and his mood was so infectious that I gave up pretending I wasn't affected. I turned to the window so he wouldn't see me smiling.When he took the turn to the airport, I sat up straight.“Alan, where exactly are we going?”“Italy. We'll get your favorite pasta, eat all the good food, and you can rest. We'll stay a few days, and after that, anywhere you want. You pick. I've got you and the babies.”“No.”He glanced at me. “No?”“I know you're excited, and I am too. But I just got back, Alan. I don't want to start flying around. I want to settle in, take things easy, and enjoy being home for a while.”I expected an argument. Instead, he nodded.“Okay. If you don't want to travel, we won't.”He changed lanes, and I relaxed until he pulled

I told Alan I needed his help with the recliner and walked out of his room before I did anything stupid.I got under the covers and tried very hard to forget what I'd just witnessed in his bathroom.A few minutes later, he came in, ready for bed, and got to work on the recliner. I pulled the covers around me and watched him work.That was a mistake because all I could think about was where those hands had been earlier.I dragged the covers higher and looked away.A few minutes later, the recliner clicked into place. He tested it before getting to his feet.“Done.”“Thank you.”He nodded and left without another word.The second the door closed, I got up and locked it. I wasn't risking him walking back in while I took care of the problem he'd created.Once I'd finally given my body the release it wanted, I relaxed beneath the covers and drifted off to sleep.When I woke the next morning, there was a text from Alan waiting for me.He had a meeting he couldn't miss, but he'd come and get
Teach Me How to Love You CHAPTER 138
I spent most of the day with Noah and Lory, catching up and laughing together. At one point, Lory made a grab for my phone, hunting for Charlotte's number. I had no idea what she planned to do with it, and I didn't intend to find out either. I made sure she didn't get anywhere near my phone.Noah cooked. Lory “helped,” which mostly meant getting in his way and frustrating him in the kitchen. The funny part was watching Noah because I could tell he wanted her out of his space and still wanted her around at the same time.Things between those two had clearly progressed while I was away.When Lory excused herself to shower in Noah's room after we ate, I finally asked him.“What's going on with you two?”“Nothing.”“Noah.”He gave me a look. “The only good thing about you disappearing was that Lory took pity on me and started visiting more often.”“That's not an answer.”“It's also none of your business.” He smiled. “You would've known if you hadn't disappeared.”And that was as far as I
