Loving Him

If I Lose Myself Tonight

Chapter Eighteen -

-Megan's Point of View-

I've woken up from my nap now. It wasn't really planned, I fell asleep on the car ride home. Pedro is sleeping near my feet and I want to kill Jay for putting her there. What if I kicked her and she fell?

"Jaayyy!" I intend to scream but my voice comes out scratchy and it's only now that I notice how dry my throat is. He comes in with a glass of water already in his hand and a laptop with the other. Again, shirtless.

"It's lovely to see you too," he sarcastically says, rolling his eyes. One more time and I think they'll turn fully and they won't go back to normal. He hands me the glass and I chug it down, probably the fastest I've ever drank a glass of water.

"Why are you never wearing a shirt? You're like a billionaire, you've got shirts that cost about a thousand dollars each," I point out.

"First of all, you love it. Second, that's ridiculous. Maximum is 700," he takes Pedro up in his arms and leaves the room. I hop out of bed and run after him, it's a little hard seems as he takes much larger strides than I do.

"Stop taking her away from me! She's mine, not yours!" We reach the bottom of the stairs and he lets Pedro go. She runs off, waggling her little tail. My right foot gets caught on my left foot and my body stumbles forward. Luckily, my saviour of a husband turns around in time to catch me before I break my nose.

"Woah, Jesus Megan," he says, laughing a little, holding my waist.

"That was your fault," I blame him, shoving his ridiculously large hands off me and walking into the kitchen. My puppy is biting a toy I don't recall getting her, "where'd she get that?"

He looks to the floor, seeing the mini fur ball, "I found it somewhere.

"Alright, what're we having to eat? I'm starving," never really had breakfast.

I say we eat out tonight," but what about Pedro? I can see it. Jay will be a terrible father. It won't happen. We're not having children together.

"I'm not leaving Pedro home alone again,"

"That's why Sophia will watch him," Sophia's pregnant you stupid boy, "Mark will be there to do it for her," he says before I can interrupt.

"Has he agreed yet?"

"Yeah I called him while you were sleeping,"

"You got this all planned out, don't you?"

"Get it from my job, I'm kind of a boss and everything,"

"Whatever, I have to shower and change and then we can leave," he grabs my elbow before I can leave.

"You look fine, I know you'll just wear them ridiculous excuse for shoes," is he taking about wearing heels?

"As in those shoes that are slightly elevated on the heels?"

"As in those bone bending, muscle killing shoes."

"But they're pretty,"

"And? You're pretty but you're still a pain in the ass,"

"I'm a pain in the ass? You're a pain in the ass,"

"That's your best comeback, seriously?"

"Go easy on me, I'm hungry,"

"Well then hurry up so I can feed my starving wife!"

"Don't pressure me!" I play along, grabbing my jacket on the way out. Pedro runs around the car and she jumps in when Tyler opens the door. Never knew she was even capable of doing that.
