“You always say you’re fine.” Her words slur, and she’s already drifting off, and I’m glad I don’t have to explain further. Because I might have to express how utterly fucking terrified I am.
What if the baby’s mine? What if it’s not? What if Olivia doesn’t want me? What if shedoes? Can I really settle down with her like I want to? Is it just not in my nature to rest?
There’s too much to think about, and my head spins, so I close my eyes, the spent energy helping me fall asleep.
I wake up to Olivia bouncing lightly on the bed, on all fours, looking into my face when I peel open my eyeballs.
I chuckle low in my throat. “You’re awake and full of pep.”
“I’mhungry.Baby needs food.”
“Then baby will get food,” Sebastian pipes up, already dressed and standing in the living room, peering into the bedroom. “Sleepyheads.”
“What time is it?”
“Nearly six,” Sebastian says, and I’m absolutely floored.
I slept nearly eight hours. I guess I haven’t been sleeping well, with everything that has been going on with Olivia and the baby and her other suitors.
“I’ve already ordered some Korean barbeque. Extra kimchi.”
“For me!”
I frown.
He knows that she likes extra kimchi? That doesn’t exactly sit well with me.
I know they’ve known each other for years, but I didn’t know they were close.
I feel stupid questions coming up my throat, and I push them down. “I guess I should get out of here.”
Olivia grabs my arm, frowning. “What? Why? Eat with us.”
So, that’s how I end up eating with my ex-girlfriend and her potential baby daddy who is also her father’s best friend.
And actually? It isn’t bad.
We laugh at old sitcoms and eat on the floor around the coffee table.
Sebastian is surprisingly laid-back in private, and he doesn’t come off that way at work at all. He’s always so professional even though he’s charismatic.
Could this just be our new normal? And how does Damien fit into all of this?
Chapter Thirty-Four
OLIVIA
By the timeI leave Sebastian’s, I’m sore in all the best ways and feel utterly satisfied for the first time in months.
Ever since I got pregnant, I’ve been ridiculously hormonal, crying all the time but more importantly,hornyall the time. I want sex constantly, and it’s hard when I’m trying to make a decision and realize who my true family is.
The problem is, I have feelings for all of them. I don’t want to lose any of them.
Instead of going home, since it’s Sunday I go directly to Damien’s house. I need to talk to him about last night, even though I’m nervous.
I need to come clean about exactly what I’m doing to all my suitors. I’d want them to be honest with me if the situation were reversed.
I ring the doorbell, and it’s Damien himself who answers.
