With Me

Chapter 16 Jordan

For the next days, I tried to call went to voicemail. I left messages. I tried to check on social media she unfollowed all my pages and even unfriended Joe. Let's try Mr Hollywood Bigshot. I can't tell as he has more followers than me. How can that be possible? Too many for me to go through. I search her name for her profile which shows nothing. So where is she?. I can't get hold of her. I don't want to sound desperate so I won't hound her at her house. I will let her find me for now.


A month went by and nothing. I finished another stint on the road. In that month I have been so lonely even though every gig or club I went to, there were girls throwing themselves at me. I wasn't interested there was only one girl for me. I can't have her as she won't talk to me. Even Jon told me to stay away from her. He's not happy with me as the deal has been pushed back to give her time. I pick up my phone, I'm not going to listen to anyone but my heart.

Please, can we talk?

Ding.

Meet me at my place in an hour.

K. See you soon.

Well, that's a start. I am going to win her back. We had a stupid argument but we didn't really break up. I guess that's why I didn't feel like having any female company on tour. My heart belongs to Ava still. I get ready to go and meet her for our talk. Hopefully, makeup. Hopefully, find out what I think I know. I know if it's true is going to break Jon's heart and probably will damage my relationship with him. But I want Ava. I need her. 

I leave my place and drive over to her place. Here goes nothing. I take a deep breath and knock on her door. A minute later the door opens and there standing was Ava in a baggy hoodie and sweatpants. There's me in my normal outfit of black t-shirt and jeans. I step closer and I want her in my arms. I stop myself from doing so even though my heart skipped a beat when I saw her standing there. 

"Are you coming in or are you just going to stand there on my front doorstep". I walk in before her. Then she shuts the door. 

" How are you?" I replied.

"Good. How's the tour going?".

" Good. Great. I got a lot of songwriting done while out on the road which I haven't done for a while. I feel bad the way things were left a month. I tried to call you but I couldn't get through to you. Why?".

"I needed time. I needed to work out my own feelings. I am sorry too. I should have told how I was feeling?". 

" Are you going to tell me what's going on in your pretty head of yours".

She takes my hand and leads me to her couch. We sit down next to each other but not too close. I will let her have her space and let her make the first move.  

"I am not and was not seeing someone else like you accused me of doing. But there is something. I was and still am scared to tell you".

I moved closer to her. Ava grabbed my hand. I let her make the moves. " I know" I whispered. 

"Know what Jordan". She moved her hand from mine and moved it to my face and traced her fingers down my cheek and jaw. 

" I realised what you weren't telling me when you ran out of my house. But was too late I couldn't find you and then you wouldn't accept my calls".

"What do you think it was?". She grabbed my hand again and brought it towards her.

You're carrying my child. " That you are pregnant and it's mine". 

She smiled and placed my hand on her stomach. "Yes, we are. I found out during the appointment as it came up due to the blood tests and urine samples I took for the health check. I thought I had the flu".

I knew it. Woo hoo. I'm going to be a dad. Shit, I got to grow up and quickly. I am only 23.

" I am scared still because of the baby and I are going to be in the middle of you and Jon. I am supposed to be his surrogate soon. I told him I have another appointment in a months time. It's going to hurt him if our secret gets out before we tell him. I don't want to tell him yet". She looks up at me and then at my lips. She moves closer and so do I. Our Lips crash together as they belong together. We do. She wraps her arms around my neck to bring me closer. I smile. We deepen our kiss.

"Miss you," I said against her lips.

"Alright daddy".

" Don't call me that. It sounds weird, mommy".

"It does, doesn't it" she replied with a smile.

" How far are you?" As I move away from her lips.

"8 weeks. I have another appointment in 2 weeks. Will you be there".

" Try and stop me. Of course, I will be there for you". 

I want you.

I want our child.

I kiss her again gently as I pull her up from the couch. I walk us to her bedroom for makeup sex, gentle makeup sex. Because I am a guy and it has been a while, it became rough sex as I was desperate for her. I know she likes it that way anyway.
