Chapter 386 - Dont lie to me (2/2)
Bridgette faced him. ”What do you mean?”
Steve smirked, 'Finally she is facing me!' ”Even if you are two years older than me, it does not mean anything. You are not old; you are ripe for me to pick.” Steve pulled her close to him. ”And what is that smack talk about not having experience? We did plenty! Or you think we should do more?”
In an instant, Bridgette's cheeks turned red.
Steve observed her expression. ”I see that you think we should do more.” He inched toward her for a kiss.
She put her hands on his chest to keep him at a distance. ”My brother is right there!” She nervously glanced toward the door.
”If you care about your brother so much, why did you leave him there in the living room?” Steve enjoyed her confused expression. He could see that she does not know how to answer. ”And how come you didn't realize that they left a while ago?”
”What do you mean: they left?” Bridgette was not sure if she should trust him or not. He loves to tease her.
”I heard the front door closing. They left.” Steve was pleased to feel that she is not pushing him away anymore.
”You are outrageous!” Bridgette complained, but her arms wrapped around Steve.
”Only with you, Biddy...” He gave her a long deep kiss which made her head spin.
...
Bridgette and Steve are panting. She is sprawled on top of him, her body limp. After some time, she clumsily slid on his side and snuggled next to him. Steve pulled a bedsheet to cover them up.
”I'm sorry I overreacted and caused a scene.” She felt guilty.
”That is all because you lied.” Steve pinched her nose. ”Don't lie to me anymore.”
”What if I already did?”
Steve frowned. ”Then... this is the right time to come out and tell me the truth.”
”My dad lives in Ottawa.” Bridgette blurted out.
”I thought you said that you don't have a father, only mother.”
”We treat him like he does not exist. But he lives in Canada. Ottawa, to be more precise. I heard that he remarried.” Bridgette explained.
Steve gave a small nod, acknowledging that he received the information, but he didn't know what to do with it. Was he supposed to do something with it?
”He left us when I was three years old. For some time, I'm entertaining the idea to go and meet him. Now that Felix is getting married, I think it's the right time to make that step.” Seeing that Steve frowned, she explained. ”I know that there is a chance he will not want to see me. But, knowing my mother, there is a high possibility that he left because he could not take it anymore. And it would not be unusual that my mother is using something to prevent him from seeing us.” Bridgette paused for a second. ”If, and only if, he wants to see us, it would be a perfect wedding present for my brother: to bring our father to attend the wedding. Will you come with me?”
”To look for your father?”
Bridgette nodded.
Steve smiled. ”When are we going?”
She hugged him tightly. ”Thank you.”
