Chapter 12

Monica

Staying the night at the Chapman’s’ place was never one of my favorite things and after the shitstorm that happened in their living room I wanted nothing more than to escape.

Usually I slept in the guest room while Trey slept in his old room, but tonight I didn’t want to be alone.

“Trey?” I whispered once we go to the top of the stairs.

“Yeah, Mon?”

“Can I sleep in your room tonight?”

He ran his fingers through his hair. I noticed how much he looked like his father in the dim light of the hallway. How they stood the same and held the same air of confidence. But I also knew there were a lot of parts of Trey that were nothing like his dad and for that I was forever grateful.

“Yeah, that’s fine. I can sleep in the guest room.”

I shook my head. “No. I mean I want to sleep with you. In your room. I don’t want to be alone tonight and I don’t see the harm in it now that I’m already pregnant. They have to know we sleep in the same bed at our apartment.”

He thought on it for a second, his brow furrowed, before finally the dimpled smile spread across his face. “Yeah. That actually sounds like the best thing I’ve heard all night.”

He put his arm around my waist and we walked past the guest room, down the hallway to his bedroom. The room hadn’t changed much at all since he was in high school and looked like something out of a Pottery Barn catalog. The walls were painted a sky blue and all the furniture was white like something they would have at a resort in the Hamptons. His king-sized bed sat in the middle of the room with the light from the moon shining in from the French doors and on to his dark blue comforter. His parents weren’t a big fan of us sleeping in the same room. No stopping it now.

He shut the door behind us then walked over to a low white dresser that was directly across from his bed. He opened the top drawer and pulled out two fluffy white towels. “I’m going to take a shower. I feel like I still smell like stripper and it’s not a good thing.”

I laughed. It was finally something that broke all the tension we were carrying that night.

“I got you a towel as well if you want to join me.” He patted the extra white towel.

“Yes. Actually, a hot shower does sound really good right now.”

He grinned and took my hand, leading me toward the open door. He turned on the light and my eyes adjusted to the white marble room. The bathroom was as big as my dorm room in college with a walk-in shower and a garden tub as well as two sinks that sat next to the entrance to a large walk-in closet.

“This is some bathroom. How did you ever leave a place like this to live in our dinky college apartment and our current place?” I whistled.
