Need You Now

Major:

When Daphne left, I thought I'd never see her again.

She made the right decision. She left. She got out.

Somewhere, her life took a sour turn, and now she's out hunting down her deadbeat baby daddy.

That was how she ended up back in my town.

In my arms.

And I'll be damned if I ever let her go again.

Daphne:

I didn't leave because of Major, but he was why I never went back home.

I knew if I ever saw him again, I'd never leave.

It would just be too painful. For both of us.

But, d*mn it, I had to get my baby's deadbeat dad to pay up. All I had to do was avoid Major for a few days.

Of course it's wasn't that simple.

“I’ve got another life,” Daphne told him. “I can’t just drop everything for you. Regardless of what I might want.”

Major pulled away and looked her in the eyes. “I know that. But at least let me help you, while you’re right in front of me.”

“I can’t ask you to do that. When I’m done here, I’m gone.” Somehow it wouldn’t be fair for him. The transaction wouldn’t be equal. She would be taking, and she wouldn’t be giving anything back. That seemed wrong, somehow, even though it was how every relationship she’d ever had ended, in the end. One gave, and the other took. She’d already taken enough from Major.

“Let me do this for you, Daphne. Don’t be so stubborn.” He kissed her. She put a hand on his chest.

“This is my mess, and I’m not afraid to clean it up myself.”

“Are you telling me you won’t let me help you?” His kiss was accompanied by a hand on her chest this time. He pulled away and looked into her eyes when he didn’t hear an answer.

“I’m not,” she said finally.

“Then let me help.”

“God d*mn it, Major. This isn’t fair.”

“What’s not fair?”

“You being so good to me.” It was her turn to bury her head. “F*ck you.”

“You want to?” He grinned at her.
