“What’s going on?” I heard called from the doorway of the office.
All of us turned and saw Blaine. She was glowing. And of course she would. She looked so cute pregnant. She was so tiny and petite, with the cutest little baby belly. She was wearing a floor length yellow spaghetti strap dress that fell loosely over her belly. It had a gathered top that accentuated her big ol’ boobies that had grown with her pregnancy.
I wasn’t that lucky. I still had small boobs, no matter if I was breastfeeding or not. They never grew one inch. Isn’t that what was supposed to happen when you were pregnant? Sam said that my boobs had grown, but I didn’t see it. I still fit into my A cups, so it must not have been that significant.
Blaine walked up to Elliott and hugged him around the waist. He curled his hand around her shoulders and pulled her in tighter.
“It’s the Piper show.” I said. “I came to show him Pru walking, but of course Piper pulled out her crocodile tears when her daddy didn’t show enough attention to her.”
Blaine laughed and pulled Pru out of my arms giving her a big kiss on the neck, making her shriek in laughter. Sam finally ambled up to us, but only because Piper had an evil smile on her face that meant she got what she wanted.
He threw his arm around my neck, and dragged me closer to him, giving me a kiss on the top of the head. He didn’t let go though. This was the thing he did since I had the babies. He never stood next to me without touching me somehow, whether it was handholding, hooking a finger in my belt loop, or wrapping an arm around my neck as he was doing now.
Something changed in him when that night happened eleven months ago. He was now a little more serious, a little more protective, and a lot more open about his feelings.
I heard a car pull up behind us and Ember slammed her door shut with an excessive amount more force than was needed.
“Where is he?” she said angrily.
We all knew who she meant. Gabe.
“Uhhh, he went to pick up some lady so she could take her car home.” Max said gently.
“Oh, really? The same lady that I just saw him leave with at Deacon’s?” she seethed.
Uh oh. This was how they acted now. They tried their best to avoid each other. They fought like cats and dogs whenever they were in the same vicinity.
“I’m pretty sure that picking up some lady to bring her to her car doesn’t require lunch and hand holding!” she shrieked.
I glanced at Sam and told him with my eyes not to say anything else, and then walked towards Ember taking her hand. I dragged her behind me and walked with her into the office. I sat her down in the chair, and then parked my hiney down on the desk in front of her.
“Talk to me.” I said.
“He kissed me. He came over, and we got into a fight. He backed me into a corner and trapped me with his body. He kissed me and I finally admitted my feelings for him. He left shortly after that when he got a call from Sam. I have been waiting for him to call me for two whole days, and I haven’t gotten one single word from him. Here I am walking into Deacon’s, hoping he is there, and he is there alright. Just not alone. He is there, with another woman!” She was crying at this point.
I didn’t know what to say.
“I’ve got to go. I decided I don’t really want to see him right now anyway. It might make me say something that I don’t want to say. I gotta go. I love you, Chey Chey. I’ll call you later tonight.” She whispered.
She walked out through the front of the office, got into her car, and backed out of the driveway just as Gabe was pulling in. He rolled down his window and was making a gesture at her for her to roll down hers, but she didn’t even wait. She zoomed off.
Gabe pulled up and parked his truck in the only open spot. He eased out the truck, and walked up to us, a cute little brown headed hussy following in his wake. I glared daggers at her, and then transferred that glare to Gabe.
“What’s up?” Gabe asked.
“You fucked up. That’s what.” I said to him bitchily.
“Why?” He asked.
“Did you have a good time at Deacon’s?” I asked.
His eyes widened a little, and he glanced quickly at the tart next to him.
“She saw me.” He stated the obvious.
“You bet your ass she saw you, buddy.” I said. “Hope it was worth it, because she can hold one hell of a grudge. You’ll be lucky to even get a nod from now on.”
“She’s right.” Max said. “There was this one time I snuck up behind her and scared the shit out of her. I laughed my ass off and didn’t notice that she was staring me down. She makes it her life mission now to scare me. It doesn’t work as well as it used to, but she still tries. When I woke up in the hospital bed it was with her face nearly touching mine. She scared the absolute piss out of me. Bitch.”
“She doesn’t forget anything, nor does she forgive. Her mind is like a frickin’ vault! She can tell me things that I used to do that pissed her off when I was six!” I told Gabe seriously.
“Her car broke down! What was I supposed to do? Leave her on the side of the road?” he said angrily, gesturing towards the girl.
Her eyes had narrowed while we spoke. She looked like she was holding on to her tongue, but just barely. She had a little smirk on her face, and I wanted to bitch slap it off.
“Why don’t I call you a cab?” I asked her.
