"Don't kid me, Joel... Did it really happen?" still burying her chin to her chest, she pulled his collar.
"Have I really lied to you before?" he grabbed the back of her head and she felt a tingling feeling where he touched her.
He made her look at his face that was bright with a teasing smile.
She pouted looked at him pitifully. "I did not, did I?"
"You did," Jeremy shrugged with a smile. "You were very cute yesterday. Playing in the park, asking for ice cream, calling me daddy..."
"Stop!" she tried to turn but he held her.
"Shh, don't move. I'll stop."
Jerlina in his embrace closed her eyes. "I don't know why, but lately I'm missing my dad a lot... my mom too..." her eyes welled with tears.
Jeremy hugged her close. It probably is because of the wedding. She probably wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle like most women. And you don't need a reason to miss our mom.
"I miss my mother too," he said with all honesty.
