She doesn’t write back, but my phone starts to ring a few minutes later. “Sloane.” Just hearing my name fall from her lips makes me breathe a little easier.
“Hey Princess.” I murmur.
“I need to see you. Please.” She sounds desperate, and I’ll do anything for her.
“Can Gully get you away?” Her breathing comes out choppy and I can hear the wind almost like she’s running.
“Gully!” She says.
“Yeah? What’s wrong Siena?” I hear his voice, and I’m glad that they kept him on board.
“Can you do me a favor?” She all but begs him.
“Yeah, what is it?” She doesn’t say anything, but I hear Gully get on the phone. “Hello?” He asks skeptically.
“Gully.” I hear him curse and I can only imagine the expression he’s making.
“Can you bring her to see me? You know I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important. I need to see her.” I hear him sigh and he gives me an address and tells me to be there in an hour before hanging up the phone.
Googling the address, I see that it’s outside of town. Getting in my little beater car that I bought last night, I make my way to the address, and wait for them to show. When I see the SUV that I used to drive pull up, I wait for him to get out before I show my face. I have to make sure that it’s her before I get out.
Gully gets out and opens the door for her, and when I see her red hair in the messy bun, I get out and walk towards her. When she sees me, she runs towards me and jumps into my arms. Her arms and legs wrap around me and I couldn’t fucking want anything more than this right now.
“Sloane.” She whispers in my ear. I squeeze her tightly and kiss her neck.
“Hey Princess.” I walk us over to Gully and he shakes his head.
“You know I can get fired for this right?” I nod and set her down on the hood of the SUV.
“Thank you Gully. You have no clue how much it means to me that you brought her.” He waves me off and I know that he would do it again if I asked.
“Sloane, I don’t want to marry him.” She whispers. The tears start to pool in her eyes and I move the hair out of her eyes.
“I know baby, but I don’t know how to get you out of it.” I cup her cheek and she leans into my touch.
“I thought that once they heard I was pregnant that they would call it all off, but it only pushed the date up. He thinks the baby is his.” Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath.
“You know for sure it isn’t his?” I hate to ask the question, but I have to be sure if I’m going to ask her what I’m about to ask.
“You really think that I would let him come in me?” she gets a disgusted look on her face and she shudders. “I’ve only slept with him once and I told you about that. I would have already had the baby if it was his.” She punches me in the stomach and I hunch over.
After taking a few deep breathes, I stand up and grab the back of her neck and pull her mouth to mine. “I’m never letting you go Siena.” She grins at me and she closes the distance between us.She kisses me like I’m her lifeline and I can’t help but give into her. Her body calls to me just like it always has, and I think I’m falling in love with her.
She grabs my hand and puts it on her stomach. She hasn’t gained any weight and she grins when I look down at our hands. “Sloane, I’m scared that you’ll never get to see us.” She looks over at Gully and he doesn’t say a word.
I need a plan. I’m getting her and our baby away from Xavier and Tony. I don’t give a shit who tries to stop me. I won’t leave her to fend for herself with those bastards. I don’t care how long it takes me, I will make sure they are both cared for, loved, and protected.
