Chapter 33

Chapter 33
Vanessa POV

Jerome and I were eating breakfast when his phone started buzzing. Mitch's name popped up and I told him to go ahead and take the call.

Jerome had stayed on the phone with Mitch for about and hour which I'm guessing is a good thing. I went up to the room we shared and started to pack for our trip to Texas.

Last time Jerome called his friend to tell him about Lisa, he said that he could tell Mitch had a hard time taking it in.

I took it as a good thing. At least he still cares about Lis and Amara. I know what he did and said was terrible but I just want to see my best friend truly happy again and I know the only way she will be happy is with him.

Our flight to Texas takes off in about four hours. Lisa's baby shower is in four days so Jerome and I bought her a bunch of superhero onesies like WonderWoman, a pink Batman one, even a Harley Quinn one.

We even got baby Amara a pair of pink baby converse, because everyone needs converse. Jerome came up the stairs and into our room.

I was still packing when he wrapped his arms around me from behind. He kissed my neck which sent shivers down my spine. "What would you say if I asked you to marry me?" He whispered in my ear.

I smiled. "I would say yes. You have asked me this before Jerome." I giggle. He rests his chin on my head. "Just making sure your answer didn't change." He said while kissing my cheek.

I turned to him. "I would never change my answer. I love you and I would love to be with you forever." I said. "Good." He picked me up wrapping my legs around his waist. He took me to the other side of the bed and laid me down.

He kissed me which I greatly returned back. I wrapped my arms around his neck asking him to come closer. He kissed my neck causing me to squirm.

That afternoon was full of bliss and love.

Lisa POV

I opened the door to my impala and did the usual routine of getting into my car with my stomach. I turned on the radio and drove to the airport to pick up Jerome and Lisa.

I went through McDonald's drive through because I was craving fries. I got out of my car and went inside the airport and waiting for my friends. "Lisa!" I turned around and saw Vanessa and Jerome walking to me.

"I've missed you so much." She said while giving me a hug. "I've missed you too." I said. "What Jerome I don't get a hug?" I said laughing.

"Well I'm trying to figure out how to hug you, without squishing your tummy." He said we all started laughing. He gave me a side hug. "Well let's go." I said and walked to my car. Vanessa sat in the passenger while Jerome sat in the back.

"Is that really how you have to get into the car?" Vanessa asked. "Yeah.. It sucks." I said.

For the next couple of days they helped me and our other friends set up for the baby shower. We had booked a decent sized meeting room at the Embassy which was now covered in pink baby shower decorations.

I was truly excited. I felt happy being here with all my friends and family. Tomorrow was the baby shower. I had sent invitations out to Preston, Rob, Vik and Lachlan but only Preston could come, because with those boys you have to let them know an month in advance.

I sat down in a chair exhausted from decorating. My feet were starting to get swollen. "Okay I'm done for the day." I said. "Hey Lis, Vanessa and I were going to eat dinner at Cheddars and we were wanting to know if you wanted to come with us." Jerome said.

"Sure, I'm always down for food."

"To save you the struggle, I'll drive." Vanessa said. I put my hands together in a praying position. "Thank you God. There are good people left in this world."

Mitch POV

"Package would be delivered tomorrow." I sat back in my chair. It took me a couple of days but hopefully it will be worth it. I had made this gift for Lisa and Amara and now I'm regretting sending it out. Jerome said it was a good idea, but what if it just makes her hate me more.

I wish I could be there. By her side at the baby shower, helping her. She probably looks so beautiful right now. My heart started aching at the thought.

I got up from my computer chair and went downstairs. There she was sitting on my sofa watching TV. I sat down beside her. It felt normal until she started to cuddle up next to me on the sofa.

She didn't feel the same. Her hair was a different texture. Her body felt weird next to mine and I couldn't take it anymore.

I stood up, quickly leaving her side. "We have to talk." I said. "Well yeah your blocking me from watching the TV."

"I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry." I watch her face go through different emotions.

"Alright. It's fine because you were never here for me. I've been with you for three months and you hadn't laid a hand on me. All you would do is kiss me. We had such a Virgin relationship and I couldn't take it so I would go out on you every now and then." She said.

It was true. I couldn't find myself to get close to her in that way. As for the cheating on me, I expected it. But that didn't even hurt me one bit.

"I know I'm not the one you want.. There are times where I hear you mumble her name in your sleep. I know you still love her Mitch and I can't replace her." She said which took me by surprise.

I didn't know I did that.. I dreamt about Lisa a lot though.

"I'll just go. Mitch, Do yourself a favor and stop crying about that girl and your baby. Actually do something about it." Those were her last words and she walked out.

And it didn't hurt one bit.
