Chapter 71
Oner we have finished the emotional roller coaster, we brushed our treti before making our way out of the bathroom.
“Here,” he says, and he slides one of his sweatshirt on me, knowing how comfortable I was in his clothes
He bites back a smile when he sees me in his clothes and I paired it with a one of sweat shorts which was swallowed up my Hayden’s clothe
As for himself, he only wears a pair of grey sweatpants that are too distracting. And he leaves his abs on display while at it. What ever moment we were having was cut short by the sound of a door being pulled open
“Bree!” Evelyn’s voice rang from the living room of my apartment, followed by the sound of the door being slammed shut
“Your friend is here,” Hayden whispered in a grudging voice
“Oh, be nice” I chuckled, watching him pout at our time together being interrupted.
*I am nice.” Hayden responded, pouting even more, and I laughed at this, shaking my head as I made my way out of the room with Hayden trailing
behind me, still shimless
Evelyn rested at the counter of the kitchen, one hand to her hips and another holding onto a glass of water. Her eyes lifted up from the cup when she felt my presetier, and her gaze swept through Hayden and me, quickly evaluating the situation in front of her.
“I’m so…so sorry. I had no idea. Hayden was here?” She sent the both of us an apologetic look, and I watched as the blush began to grow in her face.
* it’s nothing, and you are not interrupting anything since Hayden and I were both practically lazing around.” I smiled at her.
She nods pursing her lips, trying to be discreet as her eyes traced over the muscles in his chest.
“Why don’t I use this opportunity to get us both something to eat? Hayden says, “How about some tacos My tummy grumbled at this, realising
e both had not had the chance to get a proper meal all day.
“That sounds nice,” Hayden leans in to kiss my forehead before heading back to the bedroom I watched as Evelyn’s eyes once again took in his retreating form, and I was amused by this when I saw how swooned she was at the sight of Hayden. I guess she was also affected by the Hayden. effect; this made me chuckle inwardly, she was just like the rest of the ladies whenever they saw Hayden,
I was not at all threatened or jealous at this. It just showed how insanely handsome and gorgeous my boyfriend was, that he could pass off as a Greek god. Besides, Hayden and I had reached a stage in our relationship where the trust between us had grown a thousand times than it was at the beginning of our relationship, making us stronger than ever.
Evelyn’s eyes met mine, and I smiled at her, watching her blush before looking away, feeling embarrassed being caught by me. Evelyn and I were friends and instantly hit it off the first time we met. It didn’t matter that she was two years younger than me and was a freshmen I was like a bigger sister to her. Someone she could contine in and seek gundance
Even though I felt I was the last person since there were certainly other people older and wiser than I was. But I tried to give the best advice, putting her and her feelings first.
Hayden returned to the living room with his shirt, a grin tugging at the right side of his mouth. He pulled the t–shirt over his head and lid his feet into his shoes. “I will leave you ladies to in then I will be back as fast as I can. Be safe. He murmured quicily.
You don’t have to worry about me. I’m more than capable of taking care of myself” I reconted indignantly as he rose to his full height. Hayden winked at me. quietly leaving the apartment
“I’m so sorry once again. Bree; I had no idea Hayden was here,” Evelyn began mumbling just as Hayden was out the door. “I know how much you cherish your little time together, because of school and work, with ham having to stay over for a few days after his game, before heading to Duke.”
“It’s okay, Eve,” I tell her, placing a hand on her shoulder. “A few hours isn’t going to hurt anyone. And Hayden might look all grumpy, but he knows you won’t be here if it wasn’t serious. So what is i
“My dad called.” She says while fidgeting with her fingers. He wants us to meet.
“Oh my God, Eve. That’s great news.” I squeal in joy, knowing how much she had wanted to meet him. He had not been present for most of her life. and she thought he had abandoned her. That he didn’t care or love her like he did his other family
It had only been a couple of months back that Evelyn had found out her father had no clue about her existence, since her mother hadn’t told him
ime she had been pregnant with her.
d been adamant about reaching out to her father but was scared she might run the happy family he had with her presence. With a little uragement and push, Evelyn was able to send an email to him and hadn’t gotten a response from him for over a month. At least until now.
“I don’t have anyone to confide in, and you’re the only one who knows how messed up my family is.” She sighs, running her hand over her hair. “1

honestly have no idea what I’m going to do. I’ve been waiting my whole life to meet him, and now that I’ve finally gotten a chance to, I had myself being completely tembe”
“You have nothing to be terribed about. I’m sure things are going to work out greatly
“I don’t know, Bree” She bit on her lips, taking a sleep breath. “What if I do meet up with him and he tells me he never wants to see me again and washers that Bleave his family?” That seems to be most of the case these days. I mean, why would he want a daughter he never knew existed.“?
I take a hold of her hand, giving her a smile. I refuse to believe that to be the case. You are beautiful, smart, and charming. He will be crazy to let go of you.” I tell with utmost sincerity. “And if you need me, I’m always here. You don’t have to meet him alone. You can meet him at our of the cafey in school, and I would be there a couple of seats away so you don’t have to do this alone,”
“You would do that for me.” She asks, wiping the tears off her eyes.
“I would”
The smile on my face grew as 1 tapped her hand, and Evelyn smiled, mirroring mine as she said. “Thank you.”
out in pain, clenching her stomach.
“It’s nothing” She still had a smile on her face, and I watched her begin to relax more, only for her to groan out in “What’s wrong” 1 asked with full of concern
Its nothing, just insane pain cramps, She replies while still holding onto her stomach. “I think I might need to see my Dr Andrea and get something to help with the pain
Evelyn and I both had the same gynaecologist. Her mainly for her c nps and I, for my proper routine check–up and also for birth control renewal. Though i can’t remember the last time I been to any of our appointment,
It would probably be around….
My eyes widened as realisation dawned on me
If quickly unlocked it and went to my calendar, thumbing back through the months looking for my last appointment. When I made it to August
without seeing one, my heart sank. By the time I found the day in June that marked the last appointment, I thought I had hyperventilate
With the way Hayden and 1 had been going. I was certain there were times we had done it without any form of protection Just like we did in the shower.
How could I have completely forgotten about my missed appointment
God, Bree!
I couldn’t right
There wasn’t any way that i was right
I mean i would know. I ought to
As I reached down and caressed my samach. Was it possible that Hayden and I could be developing a child inside of me? I couldn’t settle on a single emotion that resonated with that idea.
Evelyn gazed at me with worry, and I quickly placed my hand on my stomach, mustering a fake smile while trying to keep my hands from trembling.
