NovelEnglishThe house was quiet.
I didn't wake till around lunch time. The smell of crispy bacon making my mouth water. I was starving. Pushing the covers off I grabbed my dressing gown and pulled it around my shoulders. I didn't feel any better. I wasn't sick just sleepy. My eyes still heavy a yawn escaped my mouh as I headed downstairs. He was cooking and when I say cooking I mean the kitchen was a mess. Pots, pans, plates everywhere.
He was stood at the cooker scrambling eggs. I couldn't hide my smile. I stood in the door frjust watching. He didn't cook often so it was nice to see.
"I made you tea". He nodded towards the table. "I'm almost done with this".
Tea? I wanted coffee and lots of it.
I passed by the tea and went for a fresh mug.
"Leah".
"Since when do I drink tea?". I asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Since you started carrying my kid".
The mug slipped from my fingers. Carrying his kid? I wasn't pregnant. I had my period. I was literally bleeding right now.
"You don't remember this morning, do you?".
I wasn't listening to him. I was too focused on why he thought I was having a baby. I think I would know if I was pregnant. I know my own body. "Sit, eat something".
"I'm not pregnant and I would really like scoffee". I grabbed the mug from the floor and did just that. He didn't stop me. "Take the test".
The test? "You bought a pregnancy test?". I frowned.
"So, you don't remember what I said?". He sighed.
"I was sleeping". I took a sip of my coffee and sat at the table. "But I know I'm not pregnant. Why would you think I was?".
"Your scents changed".
"What?". He had lost me. My scent? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I had no idea what was happening right now. How in the hell had my scent changed? I did it, I lifted my arm to my nose and sniffed.
He chuckled before kneeling beside me. "We all have scents Leah and something about yours has changed. It's sweeter than normal".
"That means nothing and don't laugh at me". I scraped the chair back and got to my feet. "It's not my fault I don't know these things".
"Babe just-...".
"I'm not taking the test because I know I'm not pregnant". I took my coffee withand headed back upstairs. Thankfully he didn't follow.
I showered and got ready. I completely forgot about Lacey because my phone was still under my pillow on do not disturb. It wasn't until I was making the bed that I remembered.
I sent her a message asking if it was okay to go out for coffee instead. Her reply was quick as she was already here. Grabbing my jacket and boots I headed back downstairs. Jake was where I left him. "Eat something before you go out, please".
"Lacey is out front. I'll eat something when I get there". Sparagraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this on .net. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. I slipped my feet into my boots and put on my jacket. I did feel a little guilty because he had made all this food just for me. Scratch that I felt more than a little guilty I felt terrible.
My shoulders sagged as I kicked off my boots. I couldn't leave without at least eating something. Besides the only reason I was going out was to avoid taking the test. Which by the way I was still refusing to do. "Babe?".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Can you tell Lacey to cin". I went about fixing myself a plate.
Bacon, eggs, waffles. You nit Jake had cooked it. Or bought it h it didn't care it all looked delicious. I poured myself sjuice before sitting at the table. "You change your mind more than the weather". She grinned taking a seat.
Someone was in a better mood. I wonder if her and Jack had kissed and made up Maybe she was going to accept my offer and take the house. "I didn't want the food to go to waste. Help yourself".
"I'm good". She smiled. "I wanted to apologise".
I frowned. "Apologise?".
"Yes, for rushing out yesterday. If the offer is still there, then I would like to move into your house".
"It's yours". I grinned.
"But we want to pay rent. We can't live in it for free and Jack wouldn't allow us to He's not big on handouts".
