CHAPTER 14

MYA

After washing and moisturizing my face, I put on a T-shirt and some sweats. I had on my bonnet and fluffy socks. It was close to ten, and I knew Christian would probably be here soon. Apparently, I’d irritated him. He’d hung up in my face. I didn’t know what version of him I would get when he got here, but I was nervous. I wasn’t nervous in a fearful sort of way. I knew he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me physically.

I was nervous as to how he would behave toward me when he got here. I had a feeling he was going to go off about something. Hopefully, he had time to calm down for the rest of his drive. I’d been under a lot of stress for the past month, and I didn’t want this to take me over the edge. I hadn’t written much since I found out I was pregnant, and that alone was stressing me out more. That would affect my check in two months.

I needed money now more than ever. My insurance wasn’t covering everything, so I had copays and a deductible I had to meet. I was already paying a little over five hundred dollars a month in medical, dental, and vision insurances. I usually averaged anywhere between four and five thousand dollars a month, but if I didn’t have a new release, that would drop significantly.

My daddy knew that something wasn’t right, but I couldn’t tell him that I was pregnant again. I was so embarrassed. Knowing that Christian didn’t want anything to do with me if I didn’t want the things he did, only made things worse. I wanted to hope that things would change between us with this pregnancy, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.

I didn’t want to tell my dad until I talked to Christian first. His response would dictate my next move. Gliding my hand over my small pooch, I said aloud, “I’m sorry, baby. Your mom is an idiot. Hopefully I can get it together before you get here.”

I walked to the couch with a bag of chips and sat, grabbing the remote simultaneously. I turned on the TV and ended up watching Big Bang Theory. Something had to make me laugh. I had been keeping to myself for a while now. I swore my complexion had gotten lighter. As I watched Sheldon make a fool of himself, there was a light knock on the door.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. My nerves were hopping all over my body, causing me to tremble with nervousness. I checked the peephole to see Christian standing there with a baseball cap on and a toothpick hanging from his mouth. Damn, he was so fucking fine.

Unlocking the door, I took one last deep breath then opened it. I stepped aside and allowed him to come inside. I didn’t greet him because I didn’t know where this shit was going. I wasn’t a fan of being hung up on either.
