Demi's POV
I watched her closely for any regret but she showed no emotion at all. It was like she had seen a ghost or as if she have had a heart attack. I tried my best to make a move, I just couldn't do it. Anxiously I reach for her hand to grab, she took a step back.
"How" she faintly said looking away. I took my chance and grabbed her hand. In anguish she pulled abruptly away, I was mortified. Steph was pacing all across the living room floor completely livid. She stopped to say something but couldn't. Instead she shook her head and sat on the couch, her face in her hands.
I couldn't see her reaction anymore, was she crying?
What if she can't bare the truth?
How will Noah feel if she abandons him?
Steph got up from the couch, oh no here we go, fuck I'm terrified. With heavy steps almost dragging herself towards me she comes face to face, towering over me. Damn she's never looked taller than she does now and strangely I'm finding her sexier than ever. Her blue eyes suddenly turned into a glossy dark emerald. Fuck I'm so turned on, I need to stop this it is not the time.
Steph's mouth opened her lips were moving but all I heard was ringing.
"Sorry I didn't catch that"
In disbelief that I wasn't listening Steph yelled, "are you freaking kidding me right now! NOAH IS MY SON MINE AND YOU WAITED THIS LONG TO TELL ME! THE FIRST TIME HE OPENED HIS EYES, HIS FIRST SMILE, HIS FIRST CRY, HIS FIRST WORD ,HIS FIRST POOP, IVE MISSED SO MANY FIRST EVERYTHINGS! " Steph kept yelling
" I'm sorry Steph I just didn't want to ruin your career, it was a big break for you."
" You thought I would've cared more about my career than I would've about starting a family with you? I thought you knew me better than that." She said as her voice was breaking.
"Steph I.... I'm just so sorry."
"I don't know what to tell you Demi" She sighed before stepping back a little.
I took a deep breath before saying, " Steph, you and I both knew you weren't ready for any kids. There's no way you can say you were"
She faced me again, this time I could see the tears running down her cheeks. She moved closer to me and kissed me passionately. Taking me by surprise, I could feel the pain, hurt, disappointment but also the love. The happiness and the relief was for certain present.
She pulled back staring deeply into my eyes.
"I have always loved you Demetria, since day one in Dallas. I have had the strongest belief that we were made for each other. You are my soulmate and you always had my heart since day one." It felt like a dream. All of it. There's no way she could be so chill about this right now. As much as I wanted this to be a perfect way of taking it, I knew there was more to it.
"Steph" I said watching her walk over to the fridge, pulling out a beer she drank it whole before turning in my direction.
"Yes Demetria?" She questioned giving me full attention.
"How are you not wanting to kill me right now, I mean I kept a big secret from you. You should hate me right now" I said without looking at her. Without knowing it she stood in front of me.
"I already knew"
I looked at her very confused. How could she know, was that why she was so great with Noah? Or was it because she's just good with kids? My head did full circles on everything but the worst was I wanted to talk back and get yelled at. Just fight for nothing. And kiss me like she means it like she misses me.
