ALISON ✔️

93

Alison

I leaned my back against the bed and watched David as he got himself ready for the day, it surprised me to see how he hadn't aged a day since we started dating, he was just as handsome as the first time we kissed.

"Taylor would be here to help you with everything you might need." He said without pulling his attention from the shirt he was slowly buttoning,

Taylor is his assistant.

"Can I go see Olivia?" I whined. I woke up this morning with mild flu, David being overly concerned placed me on a week of house arrest, but after a long heated bargaining he agreed on 5 days, so I was not authorized to leave the house or move anywhere outside the building, unless there was an emergency, "I can't just sit and do nothing."

"I don't want you out in the cold, Ali, and I mean it," he warned.

I sneered and scoffed, so bossy.

Once he was fully prepared, he came over to my side and gave me a chaste kiss.

"Try and get some rest." He broke away and pressed his lips against my forehead before leaving for work. As soon as he left, I groaned and sunk further into the sheets, feeling so alone already.

I reached for my phone and began dialing Olivia's, hoping she would be disposed to spend the rest of the day with me, I was so bored.

I sighed when it went straight to her voicemail.

Deciding not to while away in bed, I stood up and made my way to the kitchen.

I opened the fridge reached for the carton of milk and drank it in one sip without bothering to get a glass, I got pretty lazy.

I threw the empty carton of milk in the trash and turned to head to the living to see a movie, seeing everyone was way too busy to spend the day with me,

So I settled for the one thing that always had time for me, Netflix.

I was getting the movie ready when I heard the doorbell ring. I immediately made my way towards the door knowing it was Taylor.

At least I had a movie buddy.

I opened the door and froze,

"Dylan."

His lips spread into a smile.

"Hey...pops."

"Dylan, what are you doing here?" I looked around for Tessa.

"Can I come in?"He asked.

I nodded and stepped away from the door for him to come in. I shouldn't be surprised to see my best friend, but this wasn't exactly the best situation, he had no idea I was seeing David, or getting married, or worse than I was pregnant.

I prayed I got a chance to explain it all to him before he did himself.

"I didn't know you moved?" I closed the door behind me and turned to face him. His eyes were moving warily around the new house David and I are trying out, "It's nice, but I don't advise you to stay in alone."

"I'm not, don't worry," I said sharply.

"You have a housemate?"

"Yeah...." I said, quite the housemate.

"That's good..." He says and then looks at me.

I faltered and quickly moved to the other side, "Would you like anything?" 

"Can we talk first?"

I abruptly felt my heart accelerate at the random thought of what he might want to talk about.

"Yeah, of course." I led him towards the living room and sat down across him, crossing my legs over one another and folding my hands in my lap, covering my ring. "So what's going on?" I asked anxiously.

"Ali, relax." he chuckled, "You're acting like I'm David Hertz or something." He said and laughed afterward, "Speaking of him, I'm glad you got away from him."

Oh no!

"Why are you in town?"

"To see you, I missed you so much, it felt like I haven't seen you in forever." He reached and grabbed my hand into his, giving it a gentle rub,

I formed a convincing smile, hoping he didn't notice the engagement ring.

"How's Tessa?" I tried to change the direction of the conversation.

"She's alright." He said with a smile, which was odd, what happened to the disgusting looks?

"You two getting along?" I asked.

"Yes, we've sorted our differences.."

I beamed,

"Dylan, that's good amazing. Finally."

"Yeah, it was about time." He smiled again, then took the moment to look at me properly, "Alison, you look different."

"What?" I stuttered,

"Good different, You added some weight, even your hair looks different..."

That sweet smile on his face didn't last long as his eyes landed on my fingers, "Wait, Alison. Is that what I think it is....Are you engaged?"

Oh, shit...
