Adam Jones

I woke up with Anna in my arms. It was a sudden thing when she pulled me in for sex.
Anyways, she was sleeping peacefully. After a long time, I suppose. I didn't wanna wake her up. But then my phone started ringing. My watch was on my wrist synced with my phone. It was my dad. I couldn't even decline the call since my other hand was wrapped around Anna. I started to move my hand a bit so that I could get up. But, Anna started mumbling in her sleep. So I moved carefully to avoid waking her up. But then she got up and looked at me.

"Going somewhere?" She asked me.

"No. Just my dad was calling me so I was going to pick up the call," I said.

"Oh sorry. You could've woken me up," she said.

"No no. You were sleeping peacefully. I didn't wanna wake you up." I said.

"You were looking at me sleep?" she asked me pushing the loose knots of her hair back.

"No! Well, yeah. You were in my arms and I couldn't help but look at you," I said and a moment of silence filled us.

"Umm...your phone stopped ringing," she said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, yeah... it's fine. Maybe he called to say good morning and to ask what I was doing." I said.

"Hmm ok. Umm...I'm hungry. I'll go and make breakfast." she said but I stopped her.

"Wait," I said and pulled her towards me.

"What? Why'd you pull me?" she asked trying to get out of my hold.

"Well, what had you promised me yesterday?" I asked.

"What did you promise me yesterday?" she asked me.

"Really? Remember Anna." I said.

"What did I...? Oh, the inviting my family thing?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"'ll do it after breakfast," she said. I knew she was lying. 

"Nope. You're doing it now," I said giving her her phone.

"But...I'll do..." she was saying when I cut her off.

"Anna Hall, I know you. I know you'll not call them so do it now. In front of me." I said.

"Okay! Fine!" she huffed.

"Good. Call." I said letting her go.

She took her phone from my hand, dialed Rita's number first and I put it on speaker. She picked it up at the first ring. Guess she was really worried.

"Hey, Ri," she said.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why didn't you pick up my calls? I was so damn worried and..." Rita was saying Anna stopped her.

"Calm down, will you? I have my reasons for it but I can't tell it right now." Anna said.

"What do you mean by that? Are you ok? Is Adam ok? Did dad get to know?" Rita asked.

"No no! Nothing like that. Just that I'll tell you, I'll tell everyone today. So, without denying Ben, you and your baby should come for lunch at my house." she said.

"Okay, that's fine but just tell me everything's ok right?" Rita asked again.

"It's not completely okay but you'll see," she said.

"Okay, see you soon," Rita said.

"See you soon Ri," Anna said and cut the call.
