instant friends and Lily could barely contain her drooling.
Damon took Mike fishing and I got some one-on-one time with Lily and that is when the questions came out. I was honest about my feelings for Damon, which she quickly accepted and moved on to the sex. I certainly did not have to lie in that department and in typical Lily fashion she made me blush and refused to let me go with a PG version.
It was a great visit and I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My old life and new life were mixing and so far nothing major had fallen apart. I was skeptical since my mother was still moving in and my old wounds were trying to rear their ugly heads.
Damon knew how stressed I was about my mother moving in so the night before he took Joshua and I out for dinner. When we got home Joshua took off to his room and I felt Damon tense up. It had been a long time since I let my insecurities get the best of me but I could not help but wonder if he was leaving me.
I invited him onto the deck and we sat looking up at the stars. Actually I was the only one looking up because he was staring at me. He took my hand, kissed my wrist and laid all of his cards on the table. He was crazy in love with me and he knew my life would be changing with my mother moving in but he was in this for the long haul.
My heart knew it had found a new home. With scary honesty I told him I was in love with him and no matter what happened with my mother I was dedicated to seeing where this relationship could go. Damon spent the night demonstrating his words with loving so sweet I melted into each and every kiss. When we parted in the morning I was confident my heart was in a good place.
I quickly showered after Damon left and got ready to go help my mother move in because I did not want to drag the process out. Damon, Joshua and I were going to the city in a few weeks and I wanted to be sure she was settled before then.
The woman who showed up to my house was a shell of the former manipulative woman I grew up with. Time had robbed her of her youth and beauty and lack of true love had made her brittle. I hugged her awkwardly and then stood back stunned when she thanked me. I had never heard her show gratitude to anyone for anything when I was growing up.
It was obviously going to be a different experience then I imagined and I quickly decided it was best to stay open-minded. She came out of her room for all meals and talked with Joshua about school but other than that she spent most of her time reading in her room. She was polite to Damon and while I fully expected disapproval for having him stay over she did not say a thing.
One afternoon I took some tea and cookies to her door. When she invited me in I was shocked at how many books were stacked everywhere.
We drank our tea in silence but when I got up to leave I heard a meek voice ask, “Morgan will you let me try again?”
With tears running down both our faces I nodded then left before I broke down completely. From that day on we had tea each afternoon I was home and little by little we began talking. Not about the past but about the future. It was a rocky start but for once I had hope.
By the time we were ready to leave for the city I felt confident my mother could handle herself alone. We piled in Damon’s car and headed to meet my past head on. It was time to introduce Damon to Jake and get Carmine and Nancy’s blessing.
Being amazing, wonderful and generous people Carmine and Nancy welcomed Damon into the family with only a few tough questions that he passed with flying colors. The next day Damon and I were headed to the cemetery while Carmine and Nancy spoiled Joshua rotten.
In the morning I woke to an empty bed so I got ready and headed downstairs to find Damon. I saw him standing in the kitchen staring out the window and I hugged him from behind. That is when I saw the lilies. Damon had clearly gotten up early to go and
