"Mom, I don't know what to do."
back. I was
She shook her head. "Don't let this affect you. My son loves you and he knows what happened. That's what's important."
I looked at her. "Can I really ignore this, mom? Pierce said it's okay and he's just glad I'm safe, but I know him, mom. He'd feel like he's useless because he wasn't the one who protected me."
and
She sighed. "You can just talk to him again about this, Kelly. But don't let this ruin you your relationship with each other. You are a mother now, so you have to protect your family."
I nodded and shifted my gaze back to my daughter and her father. They're enjoying their bonding again. and later tonight, I'm gonna talk to Pierce about what happened. I told him yesterday about why I was with Klay and he said he understand, but I know I still need to assure him.
After dinner, I received a call from Emily. I immediately excused myself and went to the pool area to talki
to her.
"Hello, Emily?
[Are you going home tonight?]
"No-"
[Why did you order food? I said I'm cooking!]
My brow shot up after I heard that voice. I'm certain that's Matt.
"You're with Matt?"
[Kelly, why do you have a retarded cousin?]
I chuckled. "You're together? You and...him?"
[We're not-She's my girlfriend now, Kelly-What girlfriend are you talking about?]
I shook my head and smiled. "Goodnight, Emily."
[Wait... Walt, Kelly-]
ended the call after my goodnight. A pair of arms slipped between my arms and waist and a hand locked against my stomach. I felt feather kisses on the back of my neck, earning a smile from me. His scent filled my nose and it made me calm. "You're staying tonight, right?"
I faced him, without removing his arms around my waist. I stared into his eyes and nodded. "Yes, of course."
I lifted my chin and looked at Pierce. The caller is Lexi,
Pierce's eyes sharpened as he clenched his jaws. "There's nothing to talk about-"
[There is! I'm pregnant!]
I immediately snatched the phone from Pierce and looked at the screen. "Say it again?"
There was a long pause before I heard her voice again.
[Kelly... You heard it, right? I'm pregnant. I'm carrying Pierce's baby.]
I laughed without humor. "You forced yourself on him and now you're pregnant? To tell you the truth, I don't care. Raise your child alone. Don't mess with our lives anymore."
I angrily ended the call and looked at Pierce. He looked angry and worried as he stared into my eyes. I saw him swallow hard while I clenched my jaws.
"That bitch is trying to tear us apart again, Pierce," I said angrily as I gritted-my teeth and balled my that are actually trembling in anger.
He nodded. "I know. I don't believe her either."
fists
I was able to sigh in relief. I don't know what to do but I felt comforted when Pierce wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair.
I squeezed my eyes closed and swallowed hard. I'm gonna find that bitch and pull her hair. Damn it!
