Its been a week since Maddox and mine's date. He hasn't talked much. I wake up and he isn't there. I get home from work and he is already asleep. It's like he is a different person. I have been hanging out with Jezebel more lately and she says I just need to give him time but I miss him. I lay in bed and to no surprise he isn't there. I start to drag myself out of bed when I hear something that makes my heart skip a beat. It's faint but from the kitchen I can hear music and someone singing along. I don't think I have ever run to the living room so fast. I peek into the kitchen and there he is singing along. His back is to me as he washes a used plate. I walk up to him and tap him on the shoulder ever so lightly. I feel him tense at my touch. I know I'm on the verge of tears but I don't care anymore.
"Maddox, please..."
I didn't get to finish before I feel his lips on mine. The kiss was short but intense filled with need and desire.
"I'm so sorry Princess. I shouldn't have ever shut you out like that."
I try to speak but all I can do is hug him.
"The guys are getting together later at The Junction come with me," he says.
"I have to work tonight..."
"Screw work come with me tonight."
I just nod my head and call my boss saying I'm sick. I text Jezebel and tell her I'm going tonight and she tells me she is coming over to help me pick out an outfit. Maddox says he has to run a few errands before the party but he will see me at the there.
Jezebel gets to the house not long after he left. I reminded her the party wasn't for another six hours but she didn't care. We sit on my bed and watch Netflix and talk for a while. I can tell something is wrong she is acting different.
"Jezebel, you can tell me anything you know that right?"
Tears start to cloud her eyes.
"I don't know what to do Gen." she says in between breaths.
"What wrong."
"I was feeling really sick lately and three days ago I took a couple pregnancy test..."
She starts full blown crying. She puts her head in her hands so her afro masks her face.
"Does Mitch know."
She shakes her head.
"I was waiting to tell him."
"Well I call dibs on Godmother." I say smiling at her.
She starts laughing and I can tell she is relaxed now.
"Hey at least I know it will be one cute mixed baby" she says still laughing.
We watch a few episodes of Friends and then we do our hair and makeup and talk more about this whole pregnancy thing. She is actually really excited but she is just scare on how Mitch will react. We finish our makeup and she goes in my closet and grabs a pair of skinny jeans,a grey top, and my cropped jacket. I grab a pair of my favorite heels and some jewelry and look in the mirror."Damn I look good," I say.
" Yeah no shit."
"Ok your turn."
"No way chica not me"
"Come on Jezebel we are literally the same size in everything let's get you all dressed up."
I run in my closet and grab some of my old work clothes. Jezebel always looks fierce but she deserves to look sexy as hell especially now more then ever.We get a text from Maddox saying that him and Mitch are going to meet us at the bar. We both jump in her truck and start driving to The Junction.
When we get there I see Maddox's bike outside. We walk inside to a ton of commotion. We see Mitch and Maddox playing pool when we hear Rex start to whistle. All the guys look up and start whistling and cat calling. Mitch walks over and kisses Jezebel.
"Alright alright all you drunk bastards stop staring at my girl will ya." Maddox yells while laughing.
He kissed me and that just made the guys yell louder.
We all sit down and everyone starts telling stories and buying drinks. Maddox puts me on his lap and is holding me to his chest. We are all dying of laughter and I look over at Jezebel who is drinking a water. Then of course Twitch has to say something.
"Yo Jezebel whats with da water?"
"I'm the designated driver tonight." She says taking a sip.
"Actually no why should I lie."
She says standing up.
"Mitch... I'm pregnant." She says and all you see is Mitch's face go white and everyone goes silent that's saying something. Next thing you know Jezebel is being spun around the room by Mitch.
"Holy shit I'm gonna be a dad." All the guys start cheering and get up and say congratulations. While a clearly drunk Rex grabs a mic.
"Ok all you shut the hell up i wanna say a toast."
Everyone holds up their beer and Jezebel holds up her water.
"To Mitch and Jezebel, who would have thought that his shit actually worked."
We all burst out laughing again and Mitch jumps onstage and starts play fighting Rex. Rex grabs the mic back and starts talking again.
"I would also like to give a gift. Miss Genevieve will you come here please." He says while pouting his lips.
I walk on stage and I'm pretty sure you can see the confusion on my face.
"Now even though you are with Roadkill which is so stupid cause you could have had me."
I nod my head trying not to start laughing again.
"Here is a little gift from all of us."
I open the box he gives me and I can't help bust gasp. I pull out a new jacket that says Recruits of the Rejected on the back and my name on the front. Everyone starts beating on tables and chanting. I go back to my seat and I get a kiss from Maddox. Jezebel comes over and hugs me.
"Welcome to the family chica."
