Chapter 4 Shelby James

After eating pizza, and repeatedly thanking Grant we decided to sit on the couch and watch Netflix.

As I flipped through the selections I noticed Grant starting at me from the corner of my eye. I pretended not to notice as I kept scrolling through the movies.

"I don't know what to watch" I sigh handing him the controller.

He took the controller and flipped through more movies, but now I found myself staring at him.

Shelby! Shelby! Snap out of it! I kept telling myself, but it was impossible to take my eyes off him, I mean look at him. His hair so perfect and his perfectly fit body, and don't even get me started on those eyes.

Ugh...geez Grant why do you have to be so freakin perfect.

He dropped the controller onto his lap and looked at me, and me being me, I still didn't stop staring!

Grant looked at me staring at me too, suddenly it felt less awkward, I felt myself tingle as he leaned toward me.

My eyes closed as I felt our lips touch. His sweet warm lips touching mine, if that's not the definition of perfection, honestly what is?

He slowly pulled backs seconds later our eyes opened as my lips mourned for more. We stared at each other in silence.

"Your beautiful" Grant said breaking the silence. I blushed immediately.

"A-are we just friends?" I spit out ruining this amazing moment. Grant smirked and shrugged.

"Do you want to be just friends?" He questioned and I shrugged, we weren't getting anywhere with this conversation.

"I don't know, I mean I am stressed out about having this child, my hormones are a mess, and so am I!" My head falls into my hands and I feel the tears coming for no reason.

"Hey, Shelby it's okay!" Grant said moving closer, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer to him.

I looked up from my hands and wipes my tears looking at him.

"What's wrong beautiful?" He said as I sighed and rubbed my stomach.

"I-I can't provide for this child!" I said quickly and he looked down at me rubbing my back.

"Shelby calm down please!" He said trying to calm me, moments later the tears stopped and Grant spoke again. "Your having a girl right?"

I nodded, he grasped my hand and stood from the couch. In silence he walked down the hall way he stopped at the door before my bedroom.

"Open it" he stated I slowly turned the handle and opened the door as I walked through.

The room was a pale pink and filled with everything for a newborn. The room had a crib, rocking chair, dresser, changing table, and even boxes of diapers.

"These were the things my wife got from her baby shower, you can have them, and this can be her room!" he said nodding his head to my stomach.

"No, Grant I can't except this!"

"Yes, Shelby, you can and you will!" He said as he looked at me.

Once again we locked lips, this time his tongue jumped out and gently touched mine once, and then twice, before pulling away.

"Shelby I want you to stay here, and I want to try us, I think we can work out well together!" He said holding both of my hands.

All I could do in this moment was nod, nod and smile. I felt Jordyn kick hard and a giggle escaped from my lips.

"I think she likes that idea too!" I said staring at my stomach. Grant smiled as I placed his hands on my stomach, so he could feel Jordyn's faint kicks.
