Tom.

Before the game started I saw Rick and Grace sitting next to Ashley and my father, it made me nervous. Every time I looked where they were they kept talking to each other with excitement. It's pretty obvious they still don't who she is.

Back in the field, before the first half started I saw Ashley and Rick really close, more that I would like to see. He was grabbing her by her waist and that was on for several seconds. They kept walking and he kept grabbing her arm. I don't want to see them together. I don't want them to get involve.

I tried to focus the rest of the game and try to put those thoughts away.

After our victory we agreed to go out and eat with the team, our girlfriends and friends are going with us. I don't know when will be the right moment to tell them about Ashley and the baby but I'm sure I've to speak with Grace alone; I don't want to imagine her reaction.

When I got home I found Ashley in the kitchen having a conversation with my mum. I decide to ignore that and go to my room and try to sleep.

The next morning, my parents went out so I'm home alone. I decide to call the guys and play some FIFA. They all agree so here we are waiting for the pizza while we play.

I hear the bell ringing so I go to pay the pizza but it's not the pizza guy in the door.

-What are you doing here? –I ask confused.

-Oh... hi –she says uncomfortable-, I... I forgot my cellphone here. I called your mother and she told me she saw it in the table.

Just when she was talking the pizza guy came. I pay him and take the pizzas. I ask Ashley to help me with some, we're some hungry guys. She agrees and helps me out. Back in the kitchen we see her phone's not there.

-Are you sure it was here? –I ask. She nods.

-That's what she told me –she says still confused.

-Wait. I'll call my dad maybe he took it –I say, so I grab my phone and call him-. He says he was going to give it back to you when he was back but he left it in his room. Wait here, I'll get it.

Ashley.

I've no idea how could I forgot my phone here. It was probably when we were baking cookies. Well, Mrs. Holt taught me how to bake it. I wonder if where those are... Mrs. Holt told me she left some here.

I couldn't find any so I believe Tom ate them. I saw him coming home yesterday but he didn't stay to talk. No, there are no more cookies.

-Man, what happened with pizza? –Someone says behind my back. I know this voice-. Um... you're not Tom –I slowly turn around biting my lip –Ahsley?

-Hi, Richard –I said nervously.

-What are you doing here? –He asks confused.

-I...

-Here you go –Tom interrupts before I could think about an answer. He gives me my phone without noticing Richard.

-Thank you –I answer with low voice –I should be going by now, bye –I quickly say trying to avoid an even more awkward moment. I walk out the house without being noticed and go back fast to mine.

Tom.

-What was she doing here? –Rick asks confused after watching her leaving with such a rush.

-She left her phone here last night –I say without any other explanation. It has nothing to do with him.

-Last night? Wait... Have you slept with her? Haven't you? –He asks with a nervous laugh. He might be joking.
