Who's my baby's DADDY?

How strange?

Elijah's POV ~

I forgot myself completely just the second I laid my eyes on her. This woman in front of me was effortlessly flawless and beautiful even in the simple dress she wore. There were no words to express her beauty. And my heart, my heart felt alive after years of pain. Let me be frank here, I am no saint, I am indeed a playboy who completely lost hope in love. People should always know that a man turns into a playboy only when his heart is shattered into pieces. It's when the man hates all the girls in the entire world and loses his last bit of hope in love. And I am in the same boat, the girl I love the most, did the worst to me. She cheated on me with my best friend… I was broken as f***. I shut down my heart completely and pushed myself to be the worst. Till this second, I really thought my heart wouldn't beat for any girl in this world. But today is the day I realized how wrong I was. Fu**! This girl standing in front of me changed everything in just a matter of seconds. I was always capable of reading girls' minds just by the way they speak and act around me. But this time, I wasn't able to read her. She was a complete mystery which my heart ached to unfold it no matter what the cost was. My eyes were fixed on those deep blue eyes of hers, literally losing the capability of blinking.No wonder my brother appointed her as his PA. He was never into girls like I was. He always kept him isolated from women, keeping him occupied with work and other business stuff. But this woman indeed changed him as well and I was quite happy to see the shine in his eyes when he looked at her. I have never seen such joy in his eyes before. And at the same time, my heart was crushed to see my brother feeling attracted to the same woman, I am attracted to… he is even weirdly protective for her... How strange? As brothers, we never fought for anything unlike other siblings because our tastes were always different and opposite to each other. So, we never had a situation to fight for the same thing. But now, there was a tiny bit of fear in some corner of my heart… and I just hope that will never be in a situation to fight for the same thing or, to be precise, the same girl. How much ever I wish to see him settle with a girl, I know it's clearly impossible for him to do so. He might be powerful and be in a position where everybody fears him, but, he was never powerful enough to choose what he likes in his life unlike me… I feel really bad for him… But then, I remembered something and there was an instant smile on my face. Even if his heart wishes to be with this woman in front of me, I don't think he'll be able to make a move on her… not until Maria is in his life...You all might think I am a selfish bast***, but no, this is reality. The thought of trying to love again in life is not that bad, uh, even if it is that bad I think my heart is ready to take that risk for HER.

Kelsea's POV~

Date?? Did he just ask me out on a date? Sh**! I didn't think it is gonna be this tough when I agreed to be Shane's PA. "Uh.. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable… ", he said, scratching the back of his neck, sounding guilty. My mind couldn't process an answer to his question as I was clearly confused as f***. What am I supposed to say now? I gulped at the thought of Shane. What would be his reaction if he gets to know about this… s**t s**t s**t!! Why am I always the one being put in a situation where I am given two choices and whichever choice I pick turns out to be the worst? "Um… you're joking right?", I asked, hoping for a yes answer. "Uh.. no, I don't think I was joking. I am serious, Kelsea. It would be really great if you could join me as my date", he said and I just blinked nervously, thinking about a way to get out of this awkward situation. God! Just send someone to save me. I really feel suffocated by these Booker brothers. I need some air!!! I sighed, closing my eyes to relax as I took a deep breath in and out.

DRUHHHHHH!!

My office door opened and I turned to see Stefan, waiting on the door. "Kelsea, this is an emergency, I need your help right now!", he cried out loud as he paced inside in a hurry. Stefan clearly didn't notice Elijah in the room as he looked at me pretty seriously. Thank God! I think Stefan is the only way to escape from these Booker men. I really need a break… "Stefan, wrong time!", Elijah sounded pissed, and hearing his voice, Stefan slowly turned to notice him. Elijah was all sweet and calm, a few minutes before, but then, he swapped into a completely different person before Stefan. God! Why are these Bookers so damn confusing to understand..!? "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you both, but...", Stefan tried to explain but paused at Elijah's glare. "Um.. Elijah, do you mind if I just get this sorted out?", I asked, sounding as polite and soft as I could. When he turned to look at me there was again, this sweet charming smile on his face. Damn, that was fast… "Sure, go ahead. Just remember I will be waiting for your answer. See ya tomorrow!", he winked at me as he disappeared through my office door.

Oooof, sighing in relief, I looked at Stefan who was already staring at me with his mouth wide open. Now, what's with him?? I tried to grab his attention by slightly jerking him a bit. "Ahh! What the f*** just happened here?", He pinned me with his raised eyebrows. "What? Why the hell are you looking at me like that?", I asked, looking so tired and exhausted. Ahh! I agree, I am just a 3-month pregnant woman, but this was really too much to handle all this and I was really exhausted by these men's behavior. My baby in the tummy completely drained the last bit of energy in me. All I wanted to do was, just hit the bed with my comfy sheets over me… but then I remembered, that I have no such thing in my option at the moment. "Kelsea??? You just called Mr. Elijah Booker by his name. How the hell are you even breathing??", he poured it out, looking at me with his puzzled eyes. What the hell does he mean by breathing??? "Wtf?"
