Chapter 24

~Donovan~

It had been two days since the ultrasound and I couldn't go a minute without looking at Milly. We were at Ashley and Tyler's moving-out party at our apartment, only God knows why, and she looked bored out of her mind. She was too lazy to put in her contacts, so she was wearing her glasses. Her outfit included my sweater and some ripped jeans with a couple of necklaces I bought her a while back. She looked stunning to me even though Milly looked and thought the exact opposite.

My own thoughts were cut off by her snapping her fingers in front of my face. The music flooded back into my ears and I remembered the party.

"Welcome back," she smiled.

"I liked it better in my fantasy world," I told her.

"Fantasizing about me?" she smirked.

"No, Tyler," I said sarcastically.

She rolled her eyes. "Do you know how many people have offered me a drink in the 20 minutes we've been at their apartment?"

"Nope. Too busy staring at you."

She scoffed and smiled. "Then you should've noticed that 7 people have."

"Is it tempting?"

"More annoying than tempting. It's like they're rubbing it in my face that they can drink all they want... Or at least until they get alcohol poisoning... Or pass out."

"Found them!" I heard Tyler yell.

I turned around and Tyler and Ash were walking towards us.

"Mill, drink?" he asked her, offering the drink in his hand.

She looked like she was going to explode.

"She can't have that, Ty," Ash interjected.

Our eyes shot up and we gave her signals to shut up. Tyler gave Ash a confused look.

"What? Why?" he asked.

"Uh..." Ashley snatched the drink from his hand and chugged it. "Because it's mine."

"Um, okay," he responded. "I could get you another one, Mill?"

"Why don't you ever get me drinks?" Ashley whined.

"I literally just got you one."

She looked in her hand and remembered.

"I, um, don't want this one. Get me another, please."

He stood there for a few seconds before walking away with the most confused look on his face.

"What the hell was that!?" Milly exploded.

"What are you talking about? I saved it!" Ash replied. "Even if, what's the big deal?"

"I want to tell people on my own!"

"What about Donovan?"

"Nope," I said. "Do not include me in whatever this is."

"Don can speak for himself. If he wasn't comfortable waiting a little bit longer, he would have told me," Milly continued.

"Well, when that little bit of time is over and someone asks why you're holding a baby and look like you just had one, what are you going to say?"

Milly rolled her eyes at Ashley's comment as Tyler came back with two drinks. Ashley took both and poured the other in the first cup.

"Ash?" he said, looking at the ceiling.

"Hmm?"

"That other drink was for me."
