Love, is not for us

#22 - Night out

James

It has been a long long week. Had work day and night to catch up some deadlines so I hardly had time to see Tiara apart from a couple nights that I spent the night at her place. Even those nights, I would crawl into her bed at midnight like a creep and leave early in the morning. Sometimes, I wish we're staying together, so I have more time to see her. I know it's too early, I haven't even brought her out to an official date. But, we're going to have twins together, so at one point it would be better that we stay together. Anyway, one thing at a time.

As for now, all I want is, to cuddle up with her on her comfortable bed, catch up with her, chat about random things and sleep with her in my arm.

Beep beep beep. The sound of the digital key to her apartment granting me access.

It was dark? I switch on the main light and look for her, "Baby?" I walk around her apartment while reaching my phone from my back pocket. Where is she? It's 11pm, she would have been in the bed normally.

Oh! There's a few messages from her. I jump straight here after I turn in the last article due this month.

Hey handsome!
Are you working late again tonight?
Luke just broke up with Alice :( So, I'll be out tnight to accompany him ok. Miss you <3 <3

Fucking Luke, what is he thinking bringing a pregnant lady out this late?

"Baby! Where are you?" I asked worriedly as I heard loud music thundering in her background.

"Jamess! I miss you!! I'm at the club we met! Don't worry bout me babe" she assures me but failing badly. How can I not worry? She's in a club, pregnant with twins!

"Are you kiddin me?! Where's Luke??", I asked as I step out from the apartment to my car, with all intention to punch my step bro in his face and guts before I bring my woman home.

"Relaax babe..I'll be home safe. Anna is here too, she'll drive us home."

"I'm coming over, make sure Luke stays there" and I cut the phone off and ignite the engine.

"I'm pregnant not sick! And I can take care of myself", she argues the moment I approach then. 

"Fine! I get it, but seriously, a club!? With a drunk wallowing idiot?", I was going to punch him but looking at his pityful face caught me a little off guard. Was he really that heart broken?

"Bro, I'm not drunk. I only had a few drinks, I'm well aware my bestie is preggie. I just need a good night out", Luke explains himself. Now that I have a good look at him, indeed he doesn't look drunk, just pityful.

"Join us, why don't you. You really had nothing to worry about. I'm here, the designated driver & guardian for the night.", now it's Anna's turn to tell me that my worries are unwarranted.

I signalled Luke to move away from Tiara and took his seat. Putting my arm around her shoulder and resting my head on hers, "You seriously got me worried there."

"Well, I did left you some messages...", she replies while taking my chin and kiss my lips softly.

"Yea, but I didn't see it until I was already in your apartment."
