Hot Daddy’s Best Friend
I muttered.
But my eyes kept stealing glances at the two familiar strangers, especially the man, they seemed to be a couple.
Moments later, my parents joined them.
“Oh, Marian, Jalen—welcome! Please, make yourselves comfortable,” my father said, his smile wide, and unusual.
It startled me to see both of my parents beam so openly. The couple were family friends. The man—Jalen—was my father’s best friend.
My heart skipped as I looked at him. I remembered that charm, that presence. I had admired him since childhood, before he married Marian and stopped visiting. Yet, seeing him now, the pull toward him felt just as strong, maybe even stronger.
