Someone To Stay [bxb]

Chapter 14

" Surprise!" They all scream as I stand there, looking at the shocked Lucas at the door beside Summer .

She's the one who accompanied Lucas to the doctor's appointment so we could organise this baby shower for him . Since the gender is unknown, Amari decided to go with blue and pink . Better than the black themed shower party Cam suggested .

Lucas seems to haven't noticed me yet. He starts hugging people and crying over the littlest things . It's crazy how much he has changed . He's a lot, I don't know, feminine in a way? . He's hair is longer, and he's wearing baggy clothes . I can't help but think maybe it's my fault, the way he looks at everyone with a smile on his face , but I feel like as the due date comes closer and closer, he looks more scared.  We were warned about all the dangers we might face, so each ticking minute, is a risk for both Lucas and the baby .

" This is sick, right? A joke!" A guy I don't even know says beside me while glaring at Lucas with disgust .

" Who are you?" I eye him from up and down, seizing him up for the beat up he's gonna receive if he continues being an ass .

" Amari's boyfriend ." The guy took a long gulp of his champagne . I step away from him in an instant . He reeks of trouble .

I walk around the room, people chatting away, some happy for Lucas while some are just here to humiliate him. People will be people I guess . It takes about an hour or so for the people surrounding Lucas to eventually scatter around the room, some I don't even know who they are .

Lucas excuses himself to use the bathroom, and I follow him . This is my only chance to get him alone .

I wait by the bathroom door in his bedroom while he does his business, I look around his bedroom in the meantime . He hasn't even unpacked his bag or made himself at home . It's like he's a visitor in his own apartment . Yep, his own apartment . I made a deal with James that he provides everything to Lucas and I would work for him, free of charge . At first he was surprised,  on why I was bothering myself with Lucas but at the end he figured it out . All on his own . He didn't take the news lightly . We fought about it , like kicking and punching each other until mom called the police so they could break up the fight . As for my mother, she hasn't talked to me since that day . I live in the house, however I'm hated by the two . I'm still living there because I know they can't kick me out , my mom would never agree to such a thing even though I have hurt her enough .

He embraces me into a surprise hug . " Hey ..." He utters happily.

We haven't seen each in over a week . I have been busy with work and never really got a chance to visit him after our little moment last time. 

" How are you doing?" I ask softly over his shoulder . He smells so nice, if he wasn't pregnant.  I wish we could stay like this forever but nothing good ever lasts in this world.

" Good that you are now here. " He pulls away, looking up at me with a huge smile on his face.  It's like all the sadness in his eyes got wiped away by just seeing me.

" I have been here for a while watching you greet all your guests" I confess, making Lucas go red with embarrassment .

" I'm sorry, I was surrounded by a lot of people to notice everyone around the room. " He apologizes profusely.

" It's okay, I loved watching you interact with other people anyways ." I admit, placing a small kiss on his forehead. 

Lucas looks like he's contemplating something as he glances from me to the ground.  " What's wrong?" I place my hand over his cheek and gently make him look at me .
