"Damn girl..." Devale said sneaking up behind me.
"What are you doing?" I ask feelings his hands graze my ass.
He smiled and kissed my neck. I grabbed his face and turned around.
"Thanks for talking to me last night." I tell him. "And thanks for understanding." I whispered.
He shrugged. "Thank Dr. Knight, she gave me some advice." He said.
I squinted. "You spoke to Dr. Knight?" I ask shocked. "You talked to shrink?" I ask.
"Yeah but it didn't feel like. It felt like I was talking to a aunt or something." Devale said shrugging.
"That's good. I'm glad you talked to someone." I said nodding my head. "Do you feel like you can't talk to me?" I ask sitting down on the bed.
"No that's not it. I just get nervous sometimes that I'll run you out my life." He admitted.
I was shocked when Devale told me that he went to see Dr. Knight. All the times I've begged him to open up and he wouldn't. But he talked to the hospital psychiatrist. Dr. Knight is a really good listener and I know that she gave Devale some good advice. I just wish he would've help sooner because maybe our relationship would be a little stronger.
"Devale I'm having three of your kids, I couldn't get rid of you if I wanted to." I said shaking my head.
He chuckled and nodded proudly. "You got that right!" He said.
"My mom and dad will be here at 7:30, I told them 8 o'clock but they're always early..." I say softly.
Devale sighed and pulled his phone of his pocket. I didn't like the look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"I might have to go into work." DevLd said.
I rolled my eyes. "Devale please you said you'd be there. They're gonna wanna meet you!"
"Crystal I'm chief of surgery, I can't help it if I need to work." He said slamming his phone on the dresser.
"Where's Lauren can't she go in?" I ask.
"I don't know I haven't heard from her." Devale said shaking his head.
"Isn't it your job as chief of surgery to know where all your employees are?" I ask crossing my arms.
Devale glared at me for a moment. He grabbed his phone and walked out of the room. I stood up and followed him.
"Devale you really need a someone who's gonna be able to work when you can't come in. What's gonna happen the babies get here?" I ask him. "Are you just going to leave me here with three newborns?" I ask.
