Carson's Pov-

"Stop cheating!" I laughed and pushed Cason's shoulder with mine. We sat on the floor of my bedroom with our back against the end of my bed and we were playing Mario Cart on my old Game Cube.

"Im not, you just suck." He said and then pecked my lips. I couldn't help the little hmph that passed my lips, but I still played to the best I could - which wasn't all that good. I heard a slight buzz and looked in between Cason and I and at his phone lit up screen.

After the screen dimmed I turned my attention back to our game. "Hey case?" I paused the game and looked at him.

"Yea?" He said with his cheesy smile, now facing me.

"Who's Abby?" I asked with the same cheesy grin on my face as I watched his drop. I've never been the jealous type or the type to control who Cason can and can not talk to, but when a female is sending him heart emoji's, im going to worry.

"What?"

"Who's Abby?" I repeated now getting a bit irritated. It defiantly shouldn't take fifteen seconds to answer a simple question.

"Honestly, she's an ex." He said. I looked away from him and put the controller on the floor by the Game Cube and stood up. "Wait," he grabbed my wrist and stopped me from getting all the way up. I looked down at him and waited for a cheap explanation.

This is crazy, this is Cason. He's supposed to be the sweet one, he's the nice guy. Not the cheater. I mean, we never fight and when we do its a petty argument, nothing more.

"I dated her for three years, Carson. We broke up and you and I got together. She used to be my bestfriend so we kept in contact for years on end. Read the messages Carson, she asked how we were doing and I told her that we were doing great - because we are - and I told her about the pregnancy, which is why she sent the hearts." I grabbed his phone and looked at him. Since I wasn't a prying girlfriend, I genuinely didn't know his password.

"Password?" I asked.

"Our date." I typed in the date that we got together and the lock screen disappeared and I went directly to the message app, then to Abby's contact. I began reading.

The conversations were just how he mentioned, but there were little things that made me feel uneasy - or it was just morning sickness since it was only 10 o'clock - things she said were very flirty and made me uncomfortable to say the least.

"I want to meet her, Case." I told him, locking his phone and giving it back to him. He looked baffled and slightly confused. I knew Cason didn't know that she was flirting with him, I mean he didn't even know that I was flirting with him before we got together, and I made it very obvious.

"What?"

"I want to meet her, if that's okay with you." I said again, holding a firm look.

"Okay." He smiled and began typing away at his phone. I knew he was making the plans and that made me happy. Usually I wasn't like this, but to see him reacting this way made me trust all that much more. He put his phone down and then grabbed my hand. "You trust me, right?"

"Of course Case, I just don't trust her." He chuckled some and shook his head with a laugh. I leaned forward on my knees and pecked his lips in a small kiss. "Imma take a nap, wake me up later." I said and hugged him. He kissed me one more time before I stood up.

"Can I join?" He asked. I smiled and grabbed his hand, he stood up and I climbed into my bed, he smiled and said, "you gonna scoot over or just lay there?"

"I'll just lay here." I said and laughed when he shrugged and laid on top of me. He rested his head on my chest and scooted his hands under my shoulders. "I love you, Cason." I said running my fingers through his hair. It was slightly muffled but I heard him say the words back before we fell asleep.
