"So let me sum this up." I said. "So you slept with a girl and caught feelings."

"Right." Everett said.

"Now she's leaving in three days because she doesn't believe in these feelings."

"Her specific words were 'I'm doing this to protect you'." He said.

"And you called me, why?" I asked.

"I need help! I can't let her leave." He sounded frantic.

Nobody knows Everett like I do. But when he's like this he's being serious.

"Why?" I asked.

"It's just something. I don't know what it is but I feel some kind of soul-deep connection with her." He said. "Like if she left my life would have no purpose."

"What's this girl's name?" I kicked my feet behind me.

She had tamed a beast. She was going places.

"Quinn." He said.

"Harley?" I asked sarcastically. "Everett stop being such a wimp and go get your girl."

"That's the problem. I don't know where she is. Her family won't tell me." He said.

"Do I need to meddle in your love life too?" I asked. "Where's the last place you saw her?"

"She ran into the forest behind the house." He said. "And the funny thing is, when I ran after her she had just disappeared completely."

Weird. Most definetley weird.

"Then there has to be something Everett. Take a friend and investigate." I said. "Call me back when you find her."

"Can you come?" He asked. "All of my closest people are at work or some shit."

"Pregnant ladies don't hike Everett." I said without thinking.

Then I thought and my immediate response was to hang up the phone before he put two and two together.

"Xavier!" I yelled from my bed.

He was immediately in the doorway. "What now?"

"I want to know if it would be safe to tell my family about my pregnancy." I questioned.

"Nothing would be wrong with it as long as none of them still associate with your ex or anyone in the mafia for that matter." He sat on the end of my bed. "Why?"

"I let it slip when I was on the phone with Everett just now." I reached for him. "Come closer."

He lay down beside me. "What are you doing?"

"You seem tense." I played with one of the coal black curls on the side of his head. "Relax with me. Take a nap if you want to, you've been up for a while."

He sighed but did what I said anyway. He pulled me closer and laid his head on my chest. Using my breasts as his pillow.

"You could have asked for a pillow." I said quietly.

"No. I'm good." He mumbled.

He wrapped one of my legs around his waist and his arms around my waist, holding me there.

He was basically using me as a blanket too but I didn't mind. He's adorable when he sleeps.

He fell asleep and I was alone with my thoughts.
