You're Breathtaking.. | Nick Jonas

Just Out | Chapter 48

Nick's POV:

"Are you sure this is okay, Nick? I mean, what if Lex finds out? She's going to be upset."

"Relax. She won't find out. It'll be fine... now come here. I need you."

Lex's POV:

My phone lit up, making me open my eyes. The room was empty. Nick had been gone for a while because his side of the bed was cold. A voice message from Nick popped up. As I went to listen to it, it quickly said unsent. Confused, I texted him a question mark. However, it didn't deliver. I tried calling him and it went to voicemail. What the hell could he possibly be doing?

I got up and showered for the day, putting on some biker shorts and a crop top, my little bump showing off. "Good morning Francesco... how are you today?"

"Good morning Miss Lex. I'm wonderful. How are you?"

"I am okay. Did you see Nick today?"

He slid a plate in front of me full of eggs and toast. I've been trying to cut back on the salty breakfast meats.

"I haven't. He was gone before I got here a few hours ago. His car wasn't in the driveway. Maybe he's in the studio?"

I shook my head. "His phone is off. He doesn't turn it off in the studio because he uses it to record himself."

As I took a sad bite, Nick walked in the door. "Good morning Francesco." He sat down next to me and kissed my temple and rubbed my belly. "Good morning my loves." I slid the plate to him, offering some of my food. "No thank you. I already ate." He pulled out his phone, barely paying any attention to me or the fact that I hadn't seen him for hours.

I shifted uncomfortably and finished my breakfast. "Thank you again Francesco. If you two will excuse me, I'll be in the bedroom."

"I'm coming with you." Nick held onto my hips and followed me to our room.

"Where were you?"

"What?"

"Nick, where were you?"

He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at me. "I was just out, Lex. Nothing crazy."

I nodded and started to fold my clean laundry.

"Lex... what's wrong?"

I looked up at him. "Maybe you should go back to just out." His face was shocked and hurt.

"What is the issue Lex?! I can't go out?! You have to know my every move??"

I shook my head and held my stomach, walking towards the guest bedroom. "Do what you want, Nick. I will no longer ask you your whereabouts. But don't you dare ask me for mine."
