Chapter 782  Very Offended

After spending some time talking and laughing, the ladies decided to fix dinner together and they were still in the middle of that when Bryan and Matt got back.

"Babe?" Matt called in pleasant surprise when they traced the sound of laughter to the kitchen and found the ladies there.

"Hi!" Candace greeted with a grin, and Matt laughed happily as he went over to where she was and swept her off her feet.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here?" He asked happily, not paying attention to anyone else as he carried a giggling Candace out of the kitchen.

"Hello to you too, Matt! It's so good to see you," Andy called after him dryly, making Lucy, Jade and Sonia giggle.

"Hey!" Bryan said, flashing Andy an awkward smile since the last time they met, she had given him a lap dance now here she was standing in his kitchen.

"Small world, isn't it?" She asked as though she could read his mind.

"Indeed," Bryan agreed before shifting his gaze to Sonia.

"I suppose I don't get a welcome back home hug or kiss?" Bryan asked from the kitchen door, not wanting to get too close to Sonia.

"Aww, this must be tough on you. Should I give you a hug?" Jade offered, feeling sorry for Bryan, while Lucy and Andy stared at Sonia, willing her with their eyes to go to him.

"Aww, this must be tough on you. Should I give you a hug?" Jade offered, feeling sorry for Bryan, while Lucy and Andy stared at Sonia, willing her with their eyes to go to him.

Without responding to Jade, or waiting for Sonia to respond, Bryan walked away and all three ladies turned to Sonia.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you treating him like he infected you with some disease?" Lucy asked with a frown.

"That's not how I'm treating him. It's just that I can't really stand him right now and he understands," Sonia said defensively.

"He understands, maybe, but you are hurting his feelings. He looks hurt," Jade said and Andy nodded in agreement.

"Go to him, Sony," Lucy advised, jerking her head to the door for Sonia to leave.

"Really, you girls are making a big deal over nothing. You're all taking things personally on his behalf when he clearly understands that it's not about him," Sonia said and Jade pointed to the door.

"Stop making my brother sad. Go to him, else on your wedding day I'm going to object your union," Jade threatened and Sonia rolled her eyes.

"Go!" Andy said as she got off the counter and pushed Sonia towards the door.

"You're all so dramatic, she said before going in search of Bryan.

Once she walked into their bedroom, she saw Bryan taking off his clothes, "You won't believe they sent me out of the kitchen, asking me to come to you because they think you are upset," Sonia said as she sat on the bed.

"You don't have to bother about me, you can go back to join them," Bryan said without looking at her.

"Are you?"

"Am I what?" Bryan asked in confusion.

"Are you hurt?" Sonia asked, and this time Bryan turned to face her.

"How can I not be hurt even though I'm trying hard not to be? Do you have any idea how much I've been regretting this pregnancy lately?" Bryan asked, trying not to raise his voice.

"What? You are upset? But I explained to you…."

"Yes! Yes, you told me it's the pregnancy that's making you feel this way about me. How is that supposed to make me feel? If the table was turned, how would you feel? You are not making even any effort. I try my best to stay out of your way all day, yet you are not making any effort to come close to me. Will embracing me with a smile on your face when I return to the house after being away all day, make you sick? If I was the one who said I was repulsed by you because of your pregnancy, how would you feel? So far I've been putting myself in your shoes and doing the best I can for you, but you're not doing the same for me. After this baby, I don't want any more babies," Bryan said while Sonia watched him vent silently.

"I didn't know you felt that way. You should have told me so," she said quietly.

"You would have known I felt that way if you bothered to spare me a glance. Don't worry. After our wedding I will move back  to Tom's and you can have the house to yourself since you can't stand my presence," Bryan said and Sonia sighed as she went to him.

She had forgotten for a moment just how sensitive Bryan could be, and she had let herself get carried away by the changes brought about by her pregnancy.

"You know you can't move back to Tom's. I can't do this without you," Sonia said as she stopped in front of him.

"You've shown me so far that you don't need me and you want to do the whole pregnancy thing alone. I'm trying. I want to be here for you but you won't even let me. You keep pushing me away and…."

"I'm sorry," Sonia said, cutting him off because she could see that the more he talked about it the more upset he got.

"It's just that this whole pregnancy thing is harder than I envisioned. Whenever I thought of pregnancy, I pictured having the perfect baby bump and the cute feeling of having the baby move in my abdomen. I didn't really bargain for all these other symptoms. And maybe a part of me feels sort of resentful that I'm the only one going through all of these changes. You can eat whatever you want and you feel perfectly okay but it's not the same for me. I feel ill merely thinking about food," Sonia said and Bryan frowned.

"Is that what you think? Didn't you notice that I don't eat whatever you can't eat?" Bryan asked calmly.

"I know that, yet I can't help it! It's not like it's deliberate. It's just the way I feel, and even though I know it doesn't make sense, I can't help it. So, I'm sorry if it feels like I'm pushing you away," Sonia said and Bryan sighed.

"This phase will pass, babe. I understand that it's not easy on you, but you are not making it easy on me either. Let's not allow this phase to come between us. We still have a really long way to go. How do you intend to get married to me in two days if you can push me away because of your hormonal emotions?" Bryan asked and Sonia shrugged.

"Maybe we should cancel the wedding," she said and burst into laughter when Bryan's jaw dropped in surprise and his eyes grew wide.

"I'm just kidding," she rushed to assure him.

"You had better be kidding. I will blindfold and dumbfold you if I have to get you to the venue," Bryan said and she giggled.

"Dumbfold?"

"Yeah. If blindfold is to cover your eyes so you don't see, then dumbfold will be to cover your mouth so you can't speak," Bryan said and she giggled.

"That's not an English world," she said and he nodded.

"You make up words all the time, so I guess it rubbed off on me," Bryan said with a grin, glad that he could make her laugh once again.

Sonia embraced him, "I'm sorry. I will make a conscious effort to not pull away from you, even if it means puking on you," she promised and made a gag sound.

Bryan quickly pulled back from her thinking she wanted to throw up, and she giggled, "What? I thought we were in this together?" She asked as she approached him again, while making the gag sound, and Bryan moved away from her.

"Keep your distance…."

"No way! You wanted my attention, now you got it. We can't allow this phase to get between us," Sonia said and they both laughed as she chased him around the bedroom.

Down the hall, Matt lay on the bed with Candace, feeling really happy to have her there with him.

"So, you were going to go wait at my place had Sony not to told you I was here?" He asked and she nodded.

"That would have been a bummer," Candace said and Matt shrugged.

"I would have come over to get you regardless of the hour. But I'm glad you're here. I've missed you so much," Matt said with a grin as he looked at her.

"So, tell me all that has happened in my absence. Anything new?" He asked and Candace grinned.

"You won't believe that Cassidy got Andy a house and a car. The house is in one of the estates close to yours," Candace said and Matt raised a brow.

"That's nice of him. How did Andy react?" He asked, and Candace grinned as she told him all about it.

"So, what about you? How is the new movie coming? You never told me about your role," She asked curiously.

"It's fun. I'm acting as Bryan's best friend in the movie. How do you feel about seeing me kiss other ladies on screen?" Matt asked and Candace frowned.

"You are acting a romantic role?" She asked as she sat up and he nodded.

"Yeah."

"Who are you kissing? How deep is the kiss? And how pretty is the actress? Who is she?" Candace asked and Matt chuckled.

"Relax, babes. You are getting worked up," he said and she scowled at him.

"Don't ask me to relax! You are not the one whose boyfriend is going about kissing ladies in the name of being an actor," she hissed and he grinned.

"But I'm the boyfriend in question, and I'm saying it's not a big deal," Matt assured her.

"Maybe I should go into the entertainment industry too. I'm sure you won't find it so amusing to watch me kissing other people," she said and he smiled.

"But I didn't mind my girlfriend giving other guys a lap dance," Matt pointed out and glared at him.

"You're so cute when you are jealous." Matt said and she scowled again.

"That won't work on me," she said and he grinned.

"What will work? Tell me so I do it," Matt said and she pursed her lips.

"What's the name of the actress?" Candace asked again.

"Why?"

"I want to see if she is hotter than I am," Candace said and Matt chuckled.

"Is that you complimenting yourself?" He asked and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm hot. I know it, everyone knows it, duh!" She said, and Matt smiled.

"Good. I'm glad you know it. You should know that no one is as hot as you. All those actresses will have to come take hotness lessons from you if they are ever going to get my attention," Matt said and Candace grinned.

"I know, right? They don't stand a chance," Candace said and Matt laughed again.

"No one does," Matt said, and Candace relaxed against him again.

"So, how is my Jam doing?" Matt asked and Candace sighed.

"He is fine. He really wanted to come with us. We had to ask him to choose between coming for Sonia's wedding and Lucy's Christmas party," Candace said and Matt chuckled.

"I'm sure he chose Lucy's Christmas party without hesitation," Matt said and Candace smiled.

"Yeah."

"So, how has it been, settling in with your dad?" Matt asked since he had been wanting to ask her that but did not want to do so over the phone.

"Some times it is weird, but it has mostly been wonderful. I don't think any of us realized how much we needed a male presence in our lives until now. And my dad is so understanding and loving. He has been teaching Jamal how to ride a bike and taking him to the studio once a week to see how things are done there. Jamal loves it there. He keeps talking about how he is going to become richer than all of you combined," Candace said and Matt chuckled. New chaptᴇrs are published on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

"I don't doubt it," Matt said easily.

"What's the plan for the bachelor's eve? I know you are the one planning it," Candace said and Matt shook his head.

"I'm not telling you…."

"Why not? Are you bringing in strippers for Bryan?" Candace asked and Matt raised an eyebrow.

"Why? Do you want me to give you the gig?" He asked and laughed hard when she pulled away from him with a gasp of dismay.

"No, you didn't just say that!" She said and when Matt only laughed harder she picked up one of the pillows to hit him.

"I feel very offended! How can you joke about something like that?" Candace asked with a frown.

"Because it's not a big deal, and I want to be able to joke about that with you until you loosen up and stop thinking of it like some dirty topic you don't want to talk about. So? Do you want the gig?" He asked again.

"You are unbelievably annoying," Candace hissed as she walked out of the room angrily while Matt merely grinned as he watched her leave.

He knew she would come around. She still needed some time, but he would keep teasing her with it until she stopped being so uncomfortable about it.

He raised a brow when the door opened again, and Candace stood by the door, "Did you think I won't remember that you didn't tell me the name of the actress? What is her name?" she asked with a frown.

"I thought you were mad at me?"

"I was mad. I'm still very mad. Just say her name and I will be on my way," Candace said and Matt sighed.

"It's Gemima…."

"What? I thought she was just a model?" Candace asked in disbelief.

"She models more than she acts, but she does act in movies too. And you know you are way hotter than her. She doesn't stand a chance with me…."

"Fuck you," she hissed as she slammed the door making Matt wince.

That definitely went much better than he had expected. He had deliberately not mentioned it to her until they met because he wanted to be able to gauge and manage her reaction in person. It wasn't so bad.
