Maid To The Billionaire: The Tycoon's Love (Part Two) (Billionaire Romance) Read Free

It was going to be hard for me to get used to. There was also the part where Alex liked to be in charge of things and he practically insisted things be done his way. I appreciated his desire to make life easier for me, but I had no intentions of losing myself completely. I was still going to follow my dreams.
     
    As soon as I got out of the car, Liz opened the door and threw her arms around me. “It’s good to see you. Look at you, you look so pretty! I’m so happy for you!” I was slightly confused. She had already come to the hospital to see Michael and she’d told me how happy she was for me then.
     
    “Thanks, I love him so much. I’m happy for me too.”
     
    She pulled me inside and she looked like she was about to burst. “You’re even ready to admit that it’s love? Oh my goodness that’s even better than I thought!”
     
    “Wait a minute… what are you talking about?”
     
    “You and Alex of course. What did you think I was talking about?”
     
    “Michael.”
     
    “Oh, well of course I’m happy for you and proud of you and your gorgeous son, but I was talking about you moving in with Alex.” When I called her about picking up my things I had done my best to avoid the “why” of moving in with him. It was a lot about convenience still, mostly about raising Michael… but I also couldn’t deny that I had very strong feelings for him.
     
    “Oh! Oh no, that’s just about Michael. We both want to be with him and this was the best way for that to happen. Alex and I are… well, I’m not sure what we are yet. We’re just co-parenting and taking things slow for now.”
     
    She raised an eyebrow at me. “Are you sure that’s wise?”
     
    “What do you mean?”
     
    “Because of how you feel about him.”
     
    “I thought you were going to make me some cookies… and tea.”
     
    “You’re not going to get out of talking about this,” she said.
     
    “I’m not trying to get out of talking about it. I just want what I was promised. I smell chocolate chips. You wouldn’t deny a post-pregnant woman a chocolate chip cookie, would you?”
     
    She rolled her eyes. “Okay, come on.” We sat out on the balcony with a plate of cookies and a pot of tea. While I stuffed my face with cookies she said, “Okay, now talk to me.”
     
    “I’m not really sure what you want me to say. Of course I care about Alex… he’s my son’s father. But it’s not like I’m expecting him to marry me…”
     
    “Vicki, you’re in love with him.”
     
    “No. When I said that, I was talking about Michael.”
     
    She smiled. “I know you were, but honey I can see it in your eyes and hear it in your voice when you talk about him. You may not have even admitted it to yourself… but honey you do, trust me.”
     
    I laughed. “I should trust you to tell me who I’m in love with?”
     
    “Yes, because no one knows you like I do. You’re in love with him and if this is truly only about Michael then you’re going to end up getting hurt eventually…”
     
    “You mean when he brings another woman home?”
     
    “Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”
     
    “He kissed me last night. It wasn’t a friendly kiss because I’m the mother of his child. It was a real kiss and there was real passion behind it. I don’t know that I’m in love with him, but I care very much about him and I’m attracted to him in a way I’ve never been attracted to anyone before. I think it’s worth exploring as long as I keep reminding myself that living with him does not make us a couple… yet.”
     
    “Just be careful with your heart honey. Jason did a big enough number on it.”
     
    “I will be, I promise. What’s new with you?”
     
    “Absolutely nothing,” she said, with a sad smile. “I went on two dates this past week. One of them was with the guy from apartment 82… did you ever meet him?”
     
    “Oh! The cute guy with the little Boxer he walks every morning?”
     
    “Yeah,
