Chapter Six

Gabriella

I didn’t mean to knee him in the nuts. It was my survival instinct, kicking in. I couldn’t control it. I couldn’t control it when I locked myself in the bathroom either. I hadn’t seen that Paxton since the first few weeks that I had come there, or that I remembered anyway. I darted away from him, sprinting to the bathroom with the door locking behind me. My body slumped to the floor while my heart thumped in my chest. Jesus, pregnancy hormones made me crazy. Bat-shit crazy. I just brought him to a pile of nothing with my knee, and I was sure I was as good as dead. He would no doubt kill me dead. Jesus Christ, Gabby.

I’d just begun to wonder if I had killed him when he finally came to the door. “I’m going to fucking kill you.”

“No you’re not. Just hear me out, Paxton. I’m not cheating on you, and this baby is one-hundred-percent yours,” I began with the calmest voice I could muster, trying like hell to lower the heat on his temper. He was pissed.

“Open the fucking door, Gabriella.”

No way. I knew that tone, and I knew if I could see him, his face would match the tone, his words spoken through a clenched jaw. “I’m not opening the door until you calm down.”

“I will go out to my truck, get a fucking Sawzall, and cut this fucking door down. Open the door.”

The jiggle on the handle brought me to my feet and I prayed that he put good locks in. I backed up a couple feet and pleaded with him again. “Paxton, please.”

“No, fuck that, Gabriella. You kneed me in the fucking nuts. I’m not okay with that.”

“Oh, but I’m supposed to be okay with you grabbing me by my hair? Fuck you, and your double standards,” I yelled as the bionic woman came out of nowhere again.

At least, it stunned him for a second. “You’re right. I shouldn’t have done that. Open the door.”

“Ha, no way, buster. I’m not that Gabriella anymore. You can’t manipulate me like that anymore. Try again.”

“Open this fucking door,” he ordered again with a loud bang from a fist. One that I was sure left a dent.

Idiot.

I kept my distance, and spoke to the door from a few steps back. “You’re making it worse, Paxton.”

“No, you’re making it worse. Open the goddamn door, Gabriella.”

“I’m not opening the door, Paxton. Not until you calm down.”

Panic set in when I didn’t hear him anymore. Surely he wasn’t crazy enough to get a saw. Was he?

“Paxton?”

Nothing.

Great.

“Paxton?”

Again, nothing. I wrung my hands, contemplating what to do. There was no way he would chance one of the kids walking into that. Then again, I got pretty loud in that room and they had never so much as questioned it. Paxton made it theater room quality for that reason. I knew how insulated it was. Wait. How did I know that? I pulled on each one of my fingers, nervously waiting for noise.
