I Will Be The Death Of You

Chapter 2:  Hermoso

“No her name is going to be Chrystal” I argued.

He smirked “I say we name her Trixie” he stated.

I stuck my tongue out at him “god, where did you get that name? A strip club?” I commented raising an eyebrow.

He smiled “every Friday night” he stated staring at me. His eyes almost burned into my skin. I suddenly felt totally exposed to him, like I was Trixie up on that stage dancing for many eyes; his eyes.

I pulled at my sleeve gloves nervously. I averted my eyes back down to the little piece of electricity. She was kind of cute. She had a rubber face so you could pinch her cheeks. She had cute blonde Barbie hair that was in small pony tales. She wore a small pink dress and her eyes were closed but when they were open she had sparkling blue ones. She came in a big carrying basked and both Jace and I had flash drive like things tied to our wrists which we had to plug into the baby’s mouth to calm her down and get her to stop crying.

I lightly reached out and touched her rubber cheeks.

“Do you want to be a mother?” Jace whispered.

I looked back at him and he was looking at me through a thick band of lash’s studying me intently.

I bit my lip and shook my head.

“Why?” he asked.

The bell went and I was so thankful.

I stood abruptly “I’ll take the baby” I mumbled.

“I can take her” Jace said laying his hand on the handle above the baby.

 I nodded “okay” I mumbled and grabbed my stuff shuffling out the door.

I let out a breath. I was away from Jace. He sent me bad vibes; creepy and dangerous. Yet, I miss him.

I shook my head and brushed it all off and continued to my next class.

“Hey” I mumbled sitting across from Viv and the dude from earlier. They had their baby boy sitting on the table in the carrying basket as they ate lunch.

“Hey, Mark this is Angel, Angel this Mark my partner in Health” she said.

I looked up at Mark and gave a small short wave. He smiled and nodded.

“You got the new hot guy as your partner!” Viv screeched “What’s he like?”

I shrugged “he’s okay” I mumbled and took a bite of my salad.

“He’s okay? HE’S OKAY? He is fiiiiinnnnneeeee and here he comes!” she squealed with a smile.

Not a minute later our baby basket was set on the table and I felt a presence sitting beside me and I knew who it was, they only gave out those vibes.

Viv coughed “are you going to introduce us?” she asked.

I looked up and saw her partner Mark glaring at Jace and it brought a small smile to my face... someones' jealous “Viv Jace, Jace Viv” I mumbled and took another bite of my salad.

“I am Vivian” Viv purred batting her eyebrows.

I looked to Jace who had a smirk written across his face “Jace” he said in his smooth deep voice.

“So what’s the name of your child?” Viv asked Jace.

I waited and Jace’s smirk widened “Trix-” I slapped my hand across his mouth.
