4: Forever, Miss Clumsy (John Pearce/Justice Crew Fanfic)

Chapter 22

* John’s POV *

Waking up in the morning felt a bit different today, but it was a good different as my dreams of having Bailey by my side were already happening. After last week’s scare, I made sure that she was tuck in bed beside me before I slept, and even made sure the locks were in place every single night. That night, I even called Chase to inform them she was safe and was staying with me for as long as she wants, which I had hoped, forever.

Bailey told me that she couldn’t breathe at that mansion anymore and she didn’t want to be stressed out. I didn’t want that either, especially when she’s carrying our child. Indeed, she was safer here with me.

As I got up from the bed, I noticed that she was now replaced by a huge teddy bear under the covers. My heart pounded in alarm as I got up all of a sudden and went to look for her. When I got out of the room, I was greeted by the delicious aroma enveloping the whole house as if it had turned into a master chef abode and Bailey was in the kitchen, making breakfast.

“Good morning.” She giggled. Her voice sounded too sweet as if it was those heart beat monitors at the hospital and was sending me back to life after that little scare I had when I saw that teddy in her place. “You hungry, babe?” She smiled as I sighed.

“What did I tell you about leaving my sight?” I uttered, walking towards her.

Her arms instantly went over my shoulders and locked at the back of my neck as she pulled me towards her, closing the gap in between us, capturing my lips in an enchanting kiss, another thing I didn’t want to let go of. My hands went over around her waist as she giggled.

“Okay now, you’re forgiven.” I uttered in between our kisses. “As much as I want to eat the food you have prepared, I’m sorry, but I’m craving for your kisses more.” I explained, but not a minute later, she playfully pushed me back, glaring at me. “I’m kidding; the food won’t go to waste.” I gave her another peck on the lips and continued on with our exercise.

“The food’s going to get cold.” She then reminded me, pulling away for a bit.

I chuckled. “That’s okay.”

But then, I saw her frown so off I go to the table. Realising I’ve been taking her cooking for granted, I was up on my feet and leading my girl towards the counter, sitting beside me as she pulled up her own plate of goodies.

“So I’ll call in the guys I’ll be late. Would you be okay to stay here for a few hours?” I asked, but she shook her head ‘no’ as I nodded. “I’ll call the guys, then.”

“No need.” She told me and I was hell confused. I think it was too obvious how confused I was as I turned my gaze meeting her eyes, but she just smiled, getting food. “I called Len to inform him you’re sick by the way.”

What? I mean… “What?” It wasn’t that I was against it, but I felt bad calling in sick when I feel all better. I didn’t want to lie towards the guys. They needed the truth.

“I knew you’d be against it.” She pouted. I continued to watch her and observe how she feels because these mood swings have been driving me nuts lately. But I knew it had something to do with her pregnancy. “I was just kidding about calling Len.”

“Oh.” I uttered as I was about to get up and get my phone that I left inside the bedroom.

“I called everyone from your group.” Bailey uttered. “I told them I’ve held you hostage for the day because I need you.” She let out a chuckle and I just melted, like it didn’t even bother what excuse she had told them. “They all said yes in a weird way, like I’ve proper invited them into a ‘Hypnotise Me’ event.” The fact that she admitted she needed me was more than enough to make my whole body collapsed on the ground as if it was my very own foam room. I was that happy. That if random people see me right now, they’d think I was on drugs.
