55 - Childhood Fantasies

~Gemma~

I attempted to keep my emotions out of it. Neither of them made it easy. Ha! The former love of my life had knocked up a woman who was my complete opposite. She might have wrecked the image with the ugly pout on her face. Yet I could tell she put effort into her appearance. The leggy blonde wore a dress that highlighted all her ample features. She had curled her hair to perfection. Her makeup was expertly applied to top it off.

Damn. Alpha Devlin put effort into his appearance as well. He wore his trademark jeans and teeshirt. His deceptively simple outfit highlighted all his features as well. His shirt clung to his muscled torso. He had neatly styled his hair as well. Actually, they made a cute as hell couple.

Yes. That observation depressed me all the way down to my core. This stranger had the future that was supposed to be mine at one point. A future the younger me badly wanted.

'Fuck, Gemma! Can we circle back to all this later?'

Omigosh! I shut down our mental path.
