Broken Knot.

Chapter 18

After dropping Olivia off, I was surprised because she lived in the same neighborhood as us. She was only a few blocks down our street. That was good and bad, good because I would get home ASAP after dropping her off tonight and bad because there is a possibility I will see her in the neighborhood often, and with Selena around, that is dangerous.

Although, its not like I'm cheating on her, but there is some discomfort knowing that this girl was highly attracted to me. More like dangerous, since she is willing to cross the line, or seems like it anyways.

When I got to the house, the living room was lit up  and so was the kitchen, but it didn't look like Selena was in the room. But looks like Elvis was, he runs over to me. 

"Hey boy, where's mommy?" I asked him, and he retracks, to the living room. I removed my shoes and stepped inside to the living room. 

She was asleep on the couch again, but this time she had her glasses on and fell asleep marking her kids' tests. I smiled watching her sleep, it was beautiful. Honestly I think a woman looks best when they're pregnant, she is glowing with the baby bump.

I stopped dazing out in awe and gently removed her glasses. I placed it on the cofffee table, and brushed the hair away from her face. Then her eyes flutter open.

"Hey..." she smiles, stretching her arms out, "You're home late tonight, I was thinking you'd pick me up."

"Oh shit, I totally forgot... I'm sorry babe, I had to rush a proposal--" she stopped me in midsentence though."

"It's okay," she giggles, rubbing on her 6 months baby bump, "Chace dropped me off since he was coming to this area."

I felt the gush of jealousy rush through me, knowing Chace was the one giving her a lift. Some reason I feel like has like a crush on Selena or something, he's always there to pick up his son and its almsot unreasonable for a man at working hour that would have time to come pick up their son everyday. I mean, isn't that why they have daycare?

Selena started getting up, "Have you ate yet? I'll heat up some pasta for you."

"Nah, I'm not hungry," I pulled her back in, collapsing on my lap, "I just want to cuddle with you right now."

She giggles, looping her arm around my neck, "Hmm... why are you being so sweet today?"

"Aren't I always?" 

"Hmm..." she pretends to think, "That's hard to say Mr. Jonas."

"Oh really?" I gasped, "You tell me if I'm sweet after this.."

I started kissing her cheeks, forehead, nose and again until she is giggling and grabbed my face towards hers, meeting our lips. She smiled between the kiss, I pecked her lips one last time.

"You are sweet, Nicholas Jonas," she smiles, brushing my cheek and giggles. 

"I better be, right baby Jonas?" I chuckled, putting my ear on her belly. "He's saying something, what? Oh it's late? Yea mommy should be going to sleep soon, she's late for her bed time."

Selena laughs, "That's not what he said!"

"Hmm.. you want to bet?" I chuckled, then brushing my thumb on the dark circles beneath her eyes, "Let's head to bed babe, those dark circles are about to reach down to your cheek bones."

"No they're not," she laughs, getting up holding my hand and stretches as she yawns, "But I am tired."

"Good! Then we'll be cuddling to sleep all night," I hugged her from the back and guided her upstairs to our bedroom.

"Are you sure you don't want to eat something first?" She asks concernly, as she gets into bed.  

I shook my head, changing into my PJ's, "With you next to me, I'm filled up."

She giggles, lying down but face towards me, "I wish I didn't have work tomorrow."

"Me too," I chuckled agreeing with her, then getting into bed and putting my phone on the nightstand, "But at least it's almost the weekend."

"True, Oh that reminds me, Joe told me to remind you to stop by Denise's house this weekend because he's repainting the guest room and wanted you to go over to help."

I nodded tirely, "I will, I'll give him a call tomorrow probably."

She nodded in agreement yawning and closing her eyes slowly. I chuckled, brushing my thumb down her cheek, and her eyes open again.

"Sweet dreams babe," I pecked her lips and turned the lights off by the light stand.

--

It was probably 3AM when I heard my phone buzzing on the night stand, Selena began to stirr in her sleep. She wraps her arm around my waist as she turned, I picked up the phone before she was fully awake.

"Hello?" I whispered through the line in a low voice.

"Can you come quick? It's an emergency!"
