Isabelle's pov

Rody seemed nervous like he knew I had questions coming his way. The poor lad, I know if I ask Ray it's going to lead to another argument and I'm not having it.

I'm pregnant and my morning sickness is getting worse... I can't afford to add stress to that.

I know the answers I'm looking for, so I just need to brace myself for the confirmation.

"Rody, did Sam and Ray... Were they involved romantically before?"

I ask him.

"Erm, I don't know if I should be answering that Isa."

Rody says, as he shifts uncomfortably.

"Please I need to know."

I put extra effort into sounding desperate, I hate to put him on the spot but that's my only option.

"Yes... They were together for a very long time - they were inseparable. That is until Sam moved away without telling anyone not even Ray, and he was devastated, It broke him. I was so glad to see him happy again with you, but..."

He didn't finish, I just filled up the gaps... But he didn't know Sam will show up.

"Thanks Rody."

I say sincerely.

"I'll really like to meet Bianca, She seems lovely."

I say and he blushes hard.

That makes me laugh, and he seems relieved that I laughed.

"There's going to be a festival in 2 days time, if you guys are still down here you could attend. Bianca is on the planning committee that's why she's been super busy, but if you can't make it Just let me know, so we can come over before you two leave."

I smile.

We reach the Inn in no time and we exchange numbers and I thank him for the ride.

I get to our room, and freshen up.

I call the girls and we chat, they ask if I've told him and I tell them I haven't.

We talk for a while before I tell them I have to go.

I decide to wait up for Ray.

Turns out I slept off, I feel something cold placed on my head and that wakes me up. I open my eyes and I see Ray standing there watching me.

I stand up to go use the restroom and come back and move to the other side of the bed and turn my back to him, so I'm facing the wall.

I just want to rest, I can't even confront him right now even if I try... I feel weak.

**NEXT MORNING.**

"Good morning."

He says.

"Good morning."

I reply, without so much as a glance at him.

I just woke up and move to go to the bathroom so I can brush my teeth before breakfast is sent up.

I'm going to hit him with the questions, I'm too old to be beating about the Bush.

"Where did you go with Sam?"

I ask, with a frown etched between my brows.

"Uh we were just catching up."

He says in a non chalant manner.

"Okay... So why didn't you tell me you two use to date?"

I need answers and I need them now... Its better I know now.

"I didn't think it necessary, as you're the one I love now."

That doesn't even sound convincing... He didn't even try to assure me.

Maybe that's what he's trying to tell himself.

I just nod and turn to walk off to the bathroom, to get started on my morning routine.

I feel his hand go around my waist, and he turns me to face him.

"What?"

I ask, in a duh tone.

"I'm sorry okay, nothing happened between Sam and I yesterday."

"So why was I introduced as the friend?"

Okay now I can't control the tears... Damn pregnancy hormones!

"I'm sorry it was a slip up..."

I cut him off.

"Slip up?!... Really thats the excuse you're going with? Not even girlfriend, friend?!"

I shrug out of his hold and walk as fast, as I can to the bathroom and shut the door.

While in the bathroom, I feel nauseous, so I quickly find the sink and throw up, then I splash water on my face and sit on the floor for a while, before I decide to have a bath and calm my nerves.

When I exit the bathroom, he's seated typing away on his phone with a smile on his face.

I roll my eyes and move to my suitcase to get my clothes out.

"I'm sorry Isabelle."

He doesn't even sound sorry, he seems way too relaxed and casual to be sorry.

I scoff.

"So, we're back to Isabelle, I'm no longer isa?"

He shakes his head and engulfs me in a hug.

"I'm sorry babe... please I really am."

"You're lucky I love you... Damn lucky, cos I can't stay mad at you even if I tried."

He laughs.

Using his index finger, he tilts my head upwards and places feather light kisses on my lips, then my forehead.

I giggle.
