Chapter 14

~Monday Morning~

I can't believe my ass really agreed to sleep in the same bed as this man. What the fuck was I thinking. After I finished my shower I put on an oversized t-shirt with some loose shorts and my shower shoes. Since I had already moisturized I just walked into the bedroom placing all of my things back in my bag.

I felt eyes on me, I turned around seeing Ace only wearing some boxers. "Where yo clothes at?" I asked, he chuckled. "On me." He said in a "Duh" tone. I scoffed, making my way towards the bed. I flipped the covers back, building a wall between us. "Never mind." I sighed out. He was already on his side of the bed. "Do you trust me?" He asked, stopping the current action. I looked at him before continuing to set up the wall. "No, I don't." He said he wants to rebuild this relationship/ family, he has to know how to deal with honesty. I'm not gonna kiss his ass and act like I need him just because he's the father of my child.

Scouting to my side I said "If you want my trust, earn it." He hummed in response. I rolled over to the opposite direction of him getting comfortable. A while later I heard soft snores, Ace was already asleep. I drifted away into darkness letting it take over.

The sound of my alarm ringing on the nightstand. The covers were wrapped around me, I reached to pull off the covers. Once I opened my eyes.... It wasn't a cover. My head laid on Ace's chest while his arm was wrapped around me protectively. I sat up trying to squirm out of his hold, his arm loosened up enough for me to move. What the fuck, so now I'm cuddling with this man. Yeah hell nah.

Once I got ready for work, I had to cover my forearm tattoo with a long sleeve shirt. I really don't mind it since it's already cold in the hospital anyway. The shower turned on in the bathroom while I looked in the mirror doing my edges. I turned to look at the bed seeing nobody there. I didn't even hear him get up to use the bathroom, how can a man so damn big have such quiet ass footsteps.

I grabbed my purse and everything I might've needed, and did a double check before leaving. As I was doing my double check out of the corner of my eye a tall man with a white towel was walking out the bathroom to the closet. His ribs, chest, both his forearms, arms and hands are covered in tattoos. His back was very muscular, his hair reached his shoulders usually but since it looks like he washed it, it's now a little past his shoulders.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't attractive, it's just that he's an ex. I can't go back..... right? I mean I'm already giving him a second chance with Kalias so I don't understand why we have to do all this extra shit and act like a family. Is he that damn delusional? Maybe I'm trippin? I don't know.

"Hey, can I use one of your cars to go to work?" I asked, I knew he was somewhere in the closet not to far but he said something that I couldn't hear. I walked towards the closet. It was gigantic, my clothes were on one side and his on the other. He was dressed in some boxers and unbuttoned pants. "Did you hear what I asked?" Standing in the doorway just admiring the closet, it was white with a silver chandelier in the middle. A CHANDELIER. The middle island had drawers that you get your undergarments out of or your "everyday clothes".

"No, I didn't, can you repeat it?" He buttoned his pants, grabbing a belt out of one of the White Island drawers. "Can I use one of your cars to go to work since I don't have mine?" I asked once more. He stopped for a second thinking about it. He leaned over, placing his hands on the island tapping it. He turned his head facing me first making eye contact then looking me up and down then looking at me again.

I stood in the doorway waiting for an answer, all he did was stand up straight with his hands in his pockets making eye contact. He walked closer to me, "When you get back there better not be a scratch on my car." I looked up at him as he stood in front of me with no space between us. "Thanks." I said coldly, I walked away still remaining eye contact, then breaking it. I felt him staring at me.

Now that I had some alone time I called Luka. I really need to talk to him, and the hospital is at least thirty minutes away.

LukBug🐞: Hey boo

Me: "Hey" I sighed out.

LukBug🐞: Why the sigh? It's not that bad

Me: It is but isn't. A few days ago we had to sleep in the same bed, now this morning I woke up sleeping in this man's chest with his arm around me. Then when I was asking him a question he only had on some boxers and jeans that were unbuttoned. On top of that this nigga was standing in front of me with no space in between us making eye contact and just creating a whole lot of tension that doesn't need to be made.

LukBug🐞: We'll damn bitch get that dick then.

Me: Uh uh, no sir

LukBug🐞: why not? I mean flirt with him jokingly to see if it's really what he wants. If not then at least you're not embarrassed because he didn't say you wanted him. If he try to confront you about liking or flirting with him just be like It ain't like that.

Me: I don't know Luka, I don't want this man

LukBug🐞: Okay, what did you do when he did all of that?

Me: When he told me I was sleeping in his room I held a blade to his throat and said don't try no dumb shit or sum like that. As for the thing in the closet I walked away joking eye contact so I knew he was looking at me.

LukBug🐞: Mhmmmm mkayyy well if you don't like him this shouldn't be a problem.

Me: Your right I don't know what I'm thinking

LukBug🐞: Mhm mhm mkay, but what's his number because I want to call and make sure he's taking care of my nephew

Me: Don't tell him whit about this conversation

LukBug🐞: Now bitch you know I'm not gon do dat.

Me: Okay I'll send it to you, also I'm pulling into the hospital parking lot now I'll call you when I'm on the way home

LukBug🐞: Okay bye babe

Me: 06-*******

I sighed walking into the hospital. I checked in. While going to the back to get ready for my shift a man walked up to me. "Hello." He was shorter than me, around 5'5 maybe 5'6. "Hey," I said with a soft smile that he later returned. "So I'm assuming you are the new nurse they were talking about?" I nodded, "Yes, I'm KaiLani." I stuck out my hand, he shook firmly. "I'm Alexi." He introduced, "Nice to meet you Alexi." "Same here."

A blonde woman walked over to me, "Hey KaiLani I'm Kaitlyn the floor manager." Her voice was high pitched and low key annoying. "So let me show you around." She started, I followed behind.

This might now be as bad as I thought
