Because You're Mine (COMPLETED)

Chapter 91: Kevin

I actually can't with myself and you'll see why. Sorry this is kinda short.

I want in the living room as instructed by Avi. I really don't wanna have this conversation with him. So much had been happening with me and my life that talking about it now, especially with everything going on with Mitch, just wasn't going to help.

I've been seeing someone. My friend, Leigh, from med school. Everything was fine until a couple weeks ago and it got complicated.

It takes a minute, but eventually I see Avi coming down the stairs, exhaling loudly. "Now." He says when he gets to me. "What's up with you?"

I look at him. "Can I please just go to bed?" I beg.

He shakes his head. "No. Not until you tell me what your issue is. You never act like that. So, what is going on?"

"I'm just so tired, Avi. I have some personal things going on, and everything that's happening here with Mitch and Kirstie and the baby and the breakdowns and the suicide attempts and the freakouts and just... Everything. Its getting to me." I explain. Though that was more than I intended on saying.

"What personal things? Are you okay?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I'm fine, just..." Christ. "I've been seeing someone. For a while now." I look at the floor.

"Oh." He says. I cant tell he wasn't expecting that. "Is it serious?"

I chuckle nervously. "Uh, well, it wasn't. Until she told me something." I scratch my head.

He walks us over to the couch. "What did she say?"

"Uh, okay, um, back story first. So, I went to med school with her and we would flirt and stuff and I liked her, but never did anything because I didn't think it was mutual. Her name is Leigh-"

"Lee?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Leigh. L-E-I-G-H. She is a female." I chuckle. "Anyway, a couple weeks ago, we went out and had a couple of drinks. I remember we went back to her place and hung out. You can guess where that led to."

He raised an eyebrow in confusion then both when it hit him. "You slept with her?"

I nod. "Yeah. And uh, well, she called me saying we needed to talk. So I went and she told me some...unsettling news." I pause.

"And that is?" Avi asked, breaking the silence.

I chuckle nervously. "Uh, well, uh...um, she's pregnant."

His eyes went wide. "Huh?"

"Leigh is pregnant. She told me the other day." I look at my hand that are in my lap.

"Huh." Avi chuckles. "So you're gonna be a father." He puts a hand on my shoulder.

"I guess so." I say. Then I snap my head up. "Wait. You're not mad?" I ask confusedly.

He laughs. "Why would I be mad? You did nothing wrong. Oh, well, except for not telling me, but I understand. I would love to meet her. And if she ever needs to, she can stay here for a while. We could use another girl here that is more permanent than my sister visiting every now and again. Speaking of, shes coming by tomorrow, or well, today, I guess."

I sit there, just staring at him. I thought for sure he was going to be upset, but as I look in his eyes I don't see anything the resembles anything close to anger or anything like it. "Uh... Uh, yeah, sure, I'll tell her. Im sorry, why...why aren't you, like, lecturing me or something?"

"Because your almost 27. Why would I? You're allowed to make your own choices, and mistakes, I guess. Now, as for everything going on with the pack. How are you handling it?" He asked, changing the topic, thankfully.

"Uh, I could be better. Seeing Mitch like that really did it. I love that kid. He's like a little brother. And Kirstie...that was scary. Quick question though."

"Shoot."

"Why am I the one always getting attacked?" I laugh. "I mean, Scott's lunged at me, The day of the inspection, Kirstie came at me, and then at the park with Mitch and the baby, she came at me again." I smile.

"I don't know, Kevin." He smiles. "Maybe the author of this story has it out for you." He shrugged.

I laugh. "Maybe. But it's definitely not fun."

"Oh, trust me, I know." He stands up and stretched, his back and shoulders popping. "Fuck, I'm old."

I pat his back. "You'll be fine. Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna go back to bed." I chuckle.

"Alright, I'm gonna...I don't know what I'm gonna do. Something." He laughs and heads into the kitchen.

I sigh, thankful that I got that off my chest. I make my way back to my room and flop onto my bed and stare at the ceiling.

I grab my phone and look at it. I have no idea why I expected anything be be there. It's the middle of the night. I put it back down and let my eyes readjust to the dark.

Eventually I feel myself falling asleep.

Weren't expecting that were ya?

This has been my plan for Kevin since I started this book and now ITS FINALLY HAPPENING!!

Probably horrible timing, but oh well, it'll work.

Love y'all
