Say Yes

Stella POV:

   When I woke up Aaron was already gone. I sighed and frowned to myself because I hate waking up without him. I get myself out of bed and force myself in the shower. I brush my teeth as I wait for it to heat up, then I slip in and wash myself. Once I'm clean I get out and dry myself. There's a knock on the bedroom door so I wrap the towel around me and go to open it. Rebecca waved and smiled and I returned the smile. "I um, I don't have to be at my doctors appointment till the afternoon, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall with me. I want to get some maternity clothes".

   My smile warmed up and I nodded. "Sure just let me get dressed". She nodded and walked back towards her room. I closed the door and headed into the closet and pulled on a pair of high waisted jeans and a cropped hoodie. I paired it with some hightop converse. I then brushed my hair out and headed downstairs. I took out two mugs and I started making both coffee and tea. Decaf to be specific because pregnant woman should not consume a lot of caffeine. Just as I plop the tea bag in the mug Rebecca walks in. "Here I made you tea", She thanked me with a smile and we drank our beverages together. 

   Rebecca and I have been getting along really well. She explained to me that when she was with her abusive ex, she was an irritating person to be around because her ex made her push everyone away, including Aaron and Kelly. She told me staying at Aaron and I's house is the most relaxing and normal she felt in awhile. "We ready?" I nodded with a smile and we walked out to my car. 

--------------------------

   "How's this look" I turned to Rebecca and scrunched my face at the article of clothing she held up. She gasped and we both bursted out in laughter. I picked out a few items that I thought she'd look good in and handed them to her. "God Stella, how'd my brother get so lucky with a girl like you? You're literally the sweetest person Iv'e ever met" I frowned at her and pulled her in to a hug. "I'm just as lucky as he is, and fyi" I pulled back and looked her in her eyes so she knew I was being truthful. "You also have me, and hopefully one day I'll be lucky enough to call you my sister-in-law". A tear shed from her eye and she pulled me back into her. 

   We stayed like that for a minute then headed online to check out. We exited the fourth maternity store and Rebecca had bags surrounding her. I took a few and she smiled. "What time is your appointment?" She struggled pulling out her phone,  but eventually did it. "In about an hour and a half, we should get going" I nodded and we started to head towards the parking lot. "Are you sure you don't want me to take you? I promise it's not a hassle" She shook her head smiling as she put the bags in the trunk. "I appreciate it, but I enjoy Daniels time. As much as he makes me nervous" 

   Rebecca told me she liked Daniel since Aaron started brining him around when they were kids. I told her he definitely feels something for her, but she brushed it off. I pull my car up In front of the club and Daniel quickly runs out. Both me and Rebecca step out to greet him. "Buttercup, Becs" He hugged us both. Rebecca turned to me "Thank you for today Stella" I smiled at her and squeezed her hand, "Any time, good luck with the appointment". She thanked me then headed towards Daniels car. Daniel hugged me goodbye and I got back in my car.

   I didn't quite feel like going home so I decided to make a quick stop at Aarons building. Graces eyes lit up as soon as she saw me. "Stella!" We embraced each other smiling wide, "Grace how have you been?" She pulls away still having a smile on her face. "Good, I don't think Mr.Anderson is expecting you though". I shake my head, "He's not, I just stopped by to say hi to him really quick". She nods, "He's in quite the mood so hopefully seeing you helps" I chuckle and head I to the elevator.

   I step out when it reaches the top floor and walk up to his office, I couldn't peak through because his blind were closed so I knocked and opened it hoping he wasn't that busy. "Did I say you could fucking come in?". I walked up to his desk and took one of the seats in front of it, still he has yet to lift his head. "I'll drag you out off here with my bare fucking hands if you don't- Stella?". I raised a brow at him, "Is that any way to speak to your girl Mr.Anderson?". He sighed and ran his hands over his face, "I'm sorry baby".
