Carrying His Heir

38

The morning after. Laurel inhaled his scent from the sheets as she woke that morning. She was completely naked and had the bed sheet up to her shoulders. Another thing, she was alone on the bed. Jason wasn't with her.

Shit, I had sex with Jason last night. The realization hit her and immediately she sat upright.

She blushed then quickly covered her mouth. The images were so vivid in her mind, the way his eyes looked at her, the way she craved him so bad last night. Just their bodies moving perfect with each other. How much she had liked it.

She did not regret it one bit but was worried about something. What does this mean for the both of them? And where is he right now?

As that went through Laurel's head, she subconsciously lifted herself of the bed then realised she was naked. Completely. She thought of grabbing a bedsheet to wrap around herself but that would appear too chessy and had happened in many movies she had watched. Failure to locate her clothes from the previous night, she resorted to getting the nearest shirt she could find and through it on.

She caught a glimpse of her baby on the bed and smiled. She was surprised and proud that Elle slept by herself on the bed. That had never happened before but was glad her and Jason's endeavours had not disrupted her baby's sleep. She didn't bother her and went ahead to find Jason wherever he was.

In Laurel's mind, she was mentally preparing herself to face him. She was shy about it but also it wasn't something she could avoid forever. She preferred to just get it over with straight up. So she head to the living room slash kitchen. So far, he was no where in sight. No even out on the balcony though the curtains were fully drawn.

Laurel stood and wondered if he had just missed him and he was taking a shower. But she didn't hear any water running. So she went back and it was still quiet, he definitely wasn't taking a shower that meant he wasn't in the apartment. Looking over her bedside table where he usually puts his wallet and keys and they were gone too.

She was disappointed.

He left before she woke up. It made Laurel feel some type of way and it was the same thing she did to him the first time they slept together, when they conceived Elle, she left him in the hotel without saying a word.

The morning went on as usual, Elle eventually woke up and they got to have breakfast. It was Saturday, so Laurel had no work, her agenda that day had a saloon appointment and Ivy's dinner which Jason was also supposed to go to.

While Elle was in her high seat waiting for some breakfast, Laurel grabbed her phone and decided to text Jason just to ask him where he was. It had been a few hours. She was curious and also usually prepares breakfast for three and she wasn't sure if he will be back for it or not.

To Jason:

Hey, skipping breakfast today?

She looked at it after she had sent it. Was that alright? She wondered. Or is it kind of too much. She groaned out hitting her plam on the table. Also realizing the sex is now making her over think everything. In the past she could have simply writing where are you? and it would have been fine.

She went back to mixing some cereal for Elle. She makes it with hot milk so that it can really soften quickly for Elle to eat easily. On the side, she had cut some bananas too. Laurel was having the same, cereal. They were both around the kitchen counter and not showered with messy hair, even Elle's was a little over the place. She really felt Jason's absence.

"Here you go peanut, say ahh!" Laurel brought the spoonful to Elle's mouth."I wonder where your dad is."

"Daddy?" She questioned with her big eyes, then eventually put her hand up and bend it as if asking where he or saying she can't see him.
