Chapter 18

Presley

"Unless you did think and didn't care." He laughs, and I can tell it's a sarcastic laugh. My heart beats in my chest so hard and fast I feel like I'm going to throw up. My hand on my stomach grips the sheet with nerves. “I've been a fool all this time."

"Bennett." I say his name as the stinging of tears rushes to my eyes. I blink them away as fast as I can, but nothing can prepare me for what comes next. My mouth goes so dry that swallowing hurts, and all the words get stuck at the back of my throat not able to go past the lump that is there. "Everything just happened so fast," I finally am able to croak out. “The doctor came in." I don't tell him the truth. I don't tell him that I didn't want to call him because I couldn't face him if something had happened. I don't tell him that the only thing I wanted was to have him here with me. I don't tell him that even though Clarabella was here with me, the only thing I wanted was to look into his eyes.

He shakes his head, the defeat written all over his face. “I've loved you for the past twelve years." The words come out like he’s in pain. “With every single fiber of my being, I love you." My lower lip trembles, and the tears now come without warning. The look of anguish is all over his face, and it hurts me to my core. “I love you, Presley." A lone tear runs down his face. “I don't know why I thought maybe, just maybe, you felt the same." His hand moves up to the back of his neck as he holds it.

"But you knew." The words come out without me thinking. “You knew that I was never going to get married." He stares into my eyes, and he looks like he's going to say something. "I never changed my mind on that."

"I didn't care if we got married. I didn't have to be married," he says. “All I wanted was you. I would have taken you any way I could have you. I would have given you whatever it is you wanted." His hand falls from his neck. “I just fucking wanted you." You have me, I want to yell out at the top of my lungs. I'm yours. But I don't even have a second to come back before he continues, “I won't burden you anymore with my feelings." Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, it does. “I won't burden you with being stuck with me, at least not romantically." The need to sob out grips my whole body, and I fight it back. This is what you wanted, I remind myself. "We are having a baby together, and that will be my main focus." I sit up now when he stops talking, and I'm about to tell him that I do love him, but the door swings open.
