"What?" I say extremely confused.
"She physically can not have children." He said his blue eyes piercing at me.
Did he actually consider having kids with that witch? I couldn't believe it. Did he even love her? What the hell?
As if almost reading my mind Zak spoke out.
"Umm- we- we never.." He says blushing heavily.
"Never what Zak?"
I say smirking at him knowing exactly what he was trying to say. It was so adorable though to see him flustered.
"I stopped having sex with Jenna after I met you. I haven't done anything with anyone since we did" he suddenly blurts out.
Now it's me who's flustered.
"Um good to know" I say awkwardly as he laughs.
It's been nearly 3 years and he still makes my heart skip.
But I won't fall for him this time. I have Olivia to worry about.
...
Me and Zak were sitting on floor of my living room at 2:00 in the morning. We had been talking about the last 3 years. I told him that I needed a job to pay rent for the apartment. Travis and Ally had been paying it but it wasn't fair for me to be living here with my daughter and not pay rent. He told me that Jenna had faked being pregnant so she could avoid their divorce which helped temporarily until he realized she wasn't showing one bit. He forced her to the doctor where he realized there wasn't and never will be a baby in her.
Without thinking I say:
" why did you marry her? "
Zak takes a deep breath and places his hand over his chest.
"Simple-" He says.
"It was just a business deal."
I'm completely shocked when he says this. All this time I had thought that he wanted her instead of me. She was a bully but still got him and made me feel bad about myself.
"My dads company was struggling economically and he decided it would be a good idea to marry some rich guy's snobby daughter."
"Why didn't you tell me Zak? We could've-" I don't finish that sentence. I'm so confused right now.
"It was a non-disclosure agreement. If anyone found out I would've had to pay a lot of money I didn't have at the moment."
He grabbed my hand and looked me in my eye.
"But trust me when I say this Alaya."
"I was dying to tell you"
When he says this I don't what comes over me when I grab his face and push my lips against his. His familiar smell and taste that I've missed so much.
I sit on his lap and push him flat onto the floor with my hands rubbing up and down his chest.
I hear him growl quietly while he starts lightly pulling on my hair.
He flips me over completely so my back is now on the floor without breaking our kiss.
I lean forward and grab his shirt and with all of my force I rip the shirt as all the buttons fall on the floor.
He grabs my back and I feel him smiling on my lips.
"Now where did you learn that?" He says into my mouth.
When Zak goes to take my shirt off I hear something that makes me stop completely.
Olivia has woken up and was crying in her room.
"I have to go get her" I say to Zak who was still kissing on my neck.
I push Zak off of me gently and make my way to Olivia's room. She was holding on to the side of her crib bouncing her little legs while she cried out.
"What's wrong baby girl?" I say on my way to pick her up.
She blinks her long full eyelashes to clear up her remaining tears.
I brush her dark hair back with my fingers and grab her bottle that was in her crib.
I take Olivia to the living room where Zak is still sitting on the floor. He looks up at me and our daughter and I see his eyes instantly melt.
He puts his arms out to Olivia.
"Can I hold her" he says with a desperate look.
Before I can answer Olivia throws herself at him while giggling.
"She knows her daddy" I say smiling from ear to ear. He smiles back at me but quickly turns his attention to our daughter.
He grabs her and pulls her into his chest as he kisses her head.
"What's her name?" He says as he looks at her.
"Olivia"
He smiles at her while bouncing her gently.
"Beautiful" He says.
I turned on the TV and turned off the light to see if Olivia would fall back asleep but when I look over to her she was already snoring on Zak's bare chest. He couldn't button his shirt back up because his buttons were all over the floor. To my surprise Zak was also asleep.
I run to my room and grab a thick, warm blue blanket to bring back to the living room.
I walk over and place it gently on them.
I kneeled on the floor to remove Zak's shoes which he had fallen asleep with them on, I place them to the side and carefully sit on the couch. I put Zak's heavy arm around me and snuggle into his neck while placing my hand on Olivia to make sure she didn't fall if she moved. After a while I struggled to keep my eyes open and eventually fell asleep.
...
I'm awoken by the bright sun and smell of food cooking. I quickly panic when I don't feel Olivia near me.
When I walk into my kitchen I go over to Olivia who is on her high chair eating some dry cereal. I give her a quick kiss on her head. At the stove I see Zak with only his pants on cooking pancakes.
"Hungry?" He says without turning around.
"A little yeah" I go up to him and wrap my arms around his waist and kiss him on the cheek.
"I'm gonna shower quickly first. Do you mind?" I nod my head over at Olivia.
"Please" He shoos his hand." Me and Olivia are doing great"
I start walking away and feel a quick slap on my ass that makes me turn quickly to find Zak laughing to himself.
"Zak!" I scoff.
"Keep your hands to yourself mister" I say pretending to be angry.
...
I turn the water all the way to hot and jump into the shower. It was one of the first mornings where I didn't have to rush in the shower to get back to Olivia. She was with her father. Not even a day later and she had Zak wrapped around her little finger.
After I'm done in the shower my heart stops when I hear shouting in the kitchen.
"What the hell are you doing here Asshole?!"
"None of your damn business!"
Oh god.
I realized something.
My roommate was home, and he did not like my daughter's father. Last time they came face to face Travis ended up getting punched in the face.
