Chapter 6

Winter

I jolt awake, sitting up in in the biggest, softest bed I’ve ever been in. The last thing I remember is being in his lap. None of it was a dream. No, it felt too real. It was clearly very real.

I look around, wondering where he put me. The room smells like him. I fall back onto the bed, my hand going to my stomach. What the hell am I going to do now? I still can’t believe Bo and Robert are the same person.

I rub my stomach thinking about the kind of father Robert would be. From what I’ve seen he isn’t that great of a brother. He’s more of a workaholic than Cory. Not to mention I’ve heard he was something of a dictator.

That’s not how I saw the Robert I’d met the night of the event. Oh, he was controlling and bossy but in the sweetest of ways. I’m not sure how that was possible. Though I saw it again today.

Maybe I should go and try to find Cory. He has to be here already. He could help me sort this all out. I wonder how he’ll react when he finds out it’s his brother’s baby. I know he somewhat idealizes his brother and views him as a paternal figure he always strives to impress.

I slip from the bed, my stomach growling and reminding me I really need to eat something. I glance at the clock on the nightstand and see it’s already after ten. I can’t believe how long I slept.

I probably needed it. I’ve been working doubles at the diner knowing I was going to be taking this week off and soon more time than that. My major in art history isn’t helping me land a job. Maybe I should give in and look into teaching or take Cory up on his offer of working with him. He said he could find a place for me, but he’s done so much for me already.

Now I’ve gone and gotten knocked up by his brother. Not only that but I’ve just blown up the lie he’d told about us being engaged. I head for the double doors, guessing that’s the way out of the massive bedroom. When I open them I pause when I see the long hallway. Jesus, this place is like a hotel.

I look down to see boxes everywhere with my name on them. I pick one up, wondering what they are. I didn’t order anything. I set it back down. It has my name on it but it can’t be mine.

I then look up and pause when I see Robert striding towards me. I stand there like a deer caught in headlights. I’ve just left the room and he’s already on me.

“You’re awake.” He comes to stand in front of me. I have to lean my head all the way back to look at him. “You feeling better?” He cups my cheek, his thumb running back and forth. His touch is soft, but I swear there is a wildness about his eyes.
