Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 21

Kaylee POV

"Congrats, sis." Alex says as he pats me on my back softly. "At least the daddy ain't Trey bitch ass."

I chuckled as I walked into the kitchen. "Well, true. At least I don't have to worry about him anymore." I say as I take out an ice cream carton, a spoon, and a bowl.

"So where's bro-in-law?" Alex asks as he sits down and kicks his feet up on the dining table.

"He's asleep upstairs with the twins. We had a fun family day, and now all three of them are tired."

He chuckled. "Wow."

"So, what's been up with you?" I ask as I begin to eat my three scoops of ice cream.

"Well, I got a date tonight with Melinda." Melinda was his girlfriend that I just recently found out about a while back. They've been together for 4 years, and she was finally able to move out here after not seeing Alex for a while.

"Aww. I want to meet her."

"And she wants to meet you. Apparently, she knows that you're my sister and she loves your designer brand."

"Oh, that's cool. We should set something up."

"Yeah, but anyways, I gotta go." He stood up. "I have to meet her in an hour."

I gave him a hug as he kissed the top of my head. "Alright. Be careful, and love you."

"Ew, don't say that." He said as he let me go and began to walk away.

I smacked my lips. "Jerk."

He laughed. "I'm kidding. Love ya too, ugly. You know you're adopted, right?"

I frowned as I began to walk towards him and practically shove him out the door. "Out, Alex. You're so annoying."

He was still laughing. "And you're so short."

"You're short too, idiot."

"Yeah, but I'm still taller than you."

"Get out!" I push him out of the door, causing him to laugh even harder as I close the door in his face.

I shook my head before going back into the kitchen and washing my dishes, and putting everything back in its place. I went upstairs to join Chris in bed, only to find him super knocked out instead of awake. I chuckled as I crawled in bed beside him and kissed his cheek. He muttered something in his sleep as he turned his head the other direction. I just sat there as I watched him sleep.

He was so cute when he was sleep. He always slept with his lips parted and a small frown on his face. His freckles were somehow more noticeable, and he sometimes would drool if he was dead sleep. Sometimes he would even look like a baby, and it was so cute to me.

I snuggled myself into him, and he automatically wrapped his arms around me and cuddled with me like I was his favorite teddy bear. His light snores vibrated softly on my skin, causing me to giggle a little.

"What you giggling for, Kay?" He mumbled.

"Your snores are tickling me a little." I giggled.

He chuckled. "You weird."

"You're the one snoring on me."

"So? It's normal."

I rolled my eyes. "Whatev---ooh!" I held my stomach.

"What? What's wrong?"

"The baby kicked." I chuckled. Chris smiled. "Want to feel?"

He nodded before placing his hand on my belly. The baby moved closer to his hand before kicking it. Chris laughed before kissing my stomach. "Hey, little man." He rubbed my stomach.
