Pregnant with the Bad Boy - Second Book

Chapter 24

I didn’t speak when he drove back, not even noticing that I had fallen asleep when I woke up inside my bed, wanting to cry again because I was so tired even if I had been sleeping. I was hungry when I got out, looking at the small kitchen and opening the fridge.

Empty.

Fuck.

I should have followed to the damn store when Travis wanted to go, but no… I had to make a big deal out of everything, right? Well, great work Jennifer; now you and Lilly were going to starve for that…. I started to cry again, feeling sorry for myself; I wished I was back home, Mom making me dinner and getting served, or Grant…. I would have loved to be back at his amazing place, see him cook whatever I wanted, and not eat anything himself, even when he complained about me….

I was still inside the kitchen, closing the door to the fridge, not knowing how much time had passed of me standing here like a freaking i***t and waiting for someone to come and help me.

Faint steps and noises above were making me open the door to my part of the house, wanting to get out and find something to eat, or to be honest, I wanted someone to help me so that I didn’t have to do anything, just eat like I wanted to.

“Travis?” I was almost whispering it, knowing that he wouldn’t be in a good mood after what had happened today, that he had to save me from walking right out into traffic and help me get the guy off that was mad at me for stopping it.

“Travis?” I repeated it, this time louder, when I was walking around the house, up to the part that was the main house. In this part, he lived, and I was in the basement. It didn’t bother me… the lights were on inside what I assumed was his half empty bedroom. I saw a woman standing there, looking just as beautiful as ever.

Mom.

My throat got dry seeing her stare at someone talking to her, to my mute scene of what was happening when she sighed like she didn’t want to hear it. Travis was walking up, looking stern, and I wanted to puke, seeing that he was staring at her like he wanted to eat her. She wasn’t even hiding that she wanted the same thing.

Oh god…. I held my breath when she kissed him, and I closed my eyes, hurt, and I didn’t even know why? Travis had never hidden that he wanted her; that was his goal. He was right. I didn’t know him; he didn’t love me or wanted to be the father of Lilly.

He was a guy that probably got paid by Mom to keep track of me. I made another hurt sound turning around, not wanting to see more. I wanted to leave, as I always did when people let me down; I wasn’t even mad at Travis; no, it was Mom.

She promised me that she wasn’t going to date him, and still, she was here and kissing him, f*****g probably when I had reached my door, shaking from feeling so damn betrayed.

I was inside the bedroom, picking up my phone and finally replying to Marnie that she could send that car around when she wanted to; I was getting out of here. There wasn’t a chance in hell that I was staying underneath the floor or my mother f*****g some guy that wasn’t half her age, no way!

I walked into the shower, making sad laughter seeing the water being turned on and hating myself for even believing Travis for lying to my face; if he wanted to see Mom, why didn’t he just go over there? he didn’t need to lie about the water being shut off…. That was just … sad… I had taken down my white dress again, ignoring that I needed someone to zip it when I had it on. I dried my hair, trying not to think about the sounds muffled from upstairs and not gag at the thought of Travis and Mom doing it right above me.

I looked just as numb as I was feeling. Not having any makeup and just staring at myself. This was me. being just… desperate… like always… I sighed, hearing my phone and seeing Marnie telling me to get out when I did just that, taking nothing more than my phone and purse and stepping out into the cooler night air and seeing the black limousine that was standing just right outside Travis's house, it looked so out of place, just like I did.

“Hey, where are you going?!” I opened the door, seeing Travis coming around the corner, looking flushed and tense with a scowl ready for me.

I clenched my jaw, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry again, I bet he would laugh in my face for being jealous, and I didn’t even know why; it wouldn’t be the first time.

“None of your business, just go back to my mom…” my voice was colder when the slight accusations were slipping inside of what I tried so hard not to show him that I was hurt; I was.

“You saw that did you?” He didn’t even sound that upset by my hurt smile. Yeah, I did see that when I just nodded, not wanting to wipe my eyes; I shouldn’t be surprised since she was the most beautiful woman in this town, and he had told me so.

“Okay, so I’m not going to make some stupid excuse or say I’m sorry …” I stopped him with my hand; he didn’t need to say more. I got it. All too well. This wasn’t the first time someone I had started to trust had let me down, and let’s be honest. He was a d**k.

“You wanted her all along, yeah, I understand and… I will give you three months’ rent when I get back…” I said it more determined, there wasn’t a chance in hell that I was staying here no matter what, not when my mom clearly was having her new boyfriend that wasn’t saying a word about me leaving his place after a few days; I bet he even was happy to not having to babysit me anymore.

“Got it.” He nodded when I did one back and got into the limousine, closing the door; that would take me away from Travis and my mom, who had lied to my face.
