I Can't Even Concentrate

Demi's POV

It's been four months since Carter was born and it has honestly gone by so fast. My mom always told me how fast kids grow, but I never really believed her fully until now. I swear everyday Carter is learning something new. He learned how to roll over last week and is almost sitting up on his own. He's very vocal too and you always know when he's around because he will demand attention from anyone. Odell officially signed with the Rams last month and we moved back here last month. We're in an apartment now until we find a house that we both love. I've been back in the studio too because I still want to release an album before the year ends and I'm actually almost done.

"Babe!" I hear Odell shout from the living room and I quickly walk out of Carters room and down the hall.

"Shhh, I just got Carter down." I say quietly so he doesn't wake him up.

"My bad." He says as he walks up to me and bends down to kiss me.

"How was practice?" I ask when we pull away.

"Good. I'm exhausted though." He answers chuckling and I smile.

"We don't have to go out tonight." I say as I run my hands around his back and start rubbing it softly.

"No, I want to. We need a date night anyways." He says and I smile and nod.

"We can do it here if you're tired though baby." I reply  and he smiles down at me.

"Is this you trying to convince me to stay home cause you don't want to go out?" He asks with a small smirk and I chuckle.

"You caught me." I respond and he lets out a laugh. "I just don't want to deal with paparazzi is all." I then say and he nods.

"Then we can stay in. We can order something and just watch movies and eat." He says and I smile.

"That sounds perfect." I whisper as I lean up on my tippy toes to kiss him. Since Odell and I weren't going out anymore, I texted my mom that she didn't need to watch Carter anymore. After he went to bed for the night, Odell ordered us some sushi and I went to the living room to set up our pillows and blankets on the large couch. I'm actually in love with our couch and it was the first thing we bought after we moved back here. It's a large sectional and you can move the pieces however you want and Odell and I like to have it set up like it's a large bed and we've definitely fallen asleep every night on the couch. Carter even sleeps out there with us because we will be too lazy to go to our actual bed.

"This couch is the best thing we ever bought." Odell says practically falling onto it and I chuckle and nod.

"It really is." I respond as I get onto the couch also and I smile as Odell pulls me onto his lap by my hips. "So I saw something online this morning." I say quietly as I play with his chain around his neck to occupy myself so I don't have to look at him.

"Oh god, what'd you see?" He asks sarcastically with a chuckle.

"Your ex in your comments." I mumble and I felt him take a deep breath. "Do you still talk to her? It seemed like you do?" I then ask finally looking at him.

"No Demi, I don't." He answers and I believed him. I had no reason not to.

"If you do, it's fine. As long as it's only platonic." I say and he smiles lightly as he runs his hands back to my ass.

"I don't still talk to her baby. I have no reason to still talk to her." He says before leaning up and kissing me softly and I smile.

"Okay. I was just curious because of what she said." I tell him when we pull away. She had commented on one of his posts this morning that he was looking good with the heart eye emoji and it just made me uncomfortable in a way because I know they have history.
