"And you thought it best to let the media know before me?" He spoke, annoyance dropping from his tone.
"Can you blame me? You blocked me as well as your mom, and when I went to your place, I heard you don't live there anymore. I'm not even allowed anywhere near your brother's place. So yes, this was the best idea", she snapped at him.
She heard him let out a frustrated sigh. He had nothing to refute her claims and she smirked at this. "Let's meet tomorrow. I'll send you the address."
She hang up he could say anything else. Xavier ruffled his hair in frustration. She was a literal thorn in the flesh especially when things were going well for him right now. His phone chimed and two pictures arrived from Nicole. One, of her pregnancy results and the other, of the sonogram. The message that followed was of where they were to meet the next day.
Xavier pulled on his hair in frustration and was about to hurl his phone against the floor when Lorraine quickly grabbed his arm stopping him.
"Calm down. Calm down", she rubbed his back in a soothing motion. "What did she want?"
"She's got me right where she wants. She.... She wants to meet tomorrow", he watched her reaction as he said so.
"Do you want me to go with you?" She asked with genuineness.
"Lorraine-" he was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing again. He let out an exhausted sigh seeing his Mother's caller ID flashing on the screen. "Mom."
"Xavie, is this all true?" Her voice was more quiet than usual. His response was silence and she sighed. "Xavier, I love you so much, you know that right?"
"Mm."
"So believe me when I say everything is going to be okay. It doesn't feel like it now but it will. But one thing Xavie, you need to end things with Lorraine."
"Mom-" his face pulled into a deeper frown.
"I know how much you like her but you can't do this to that poor girl. She's such a kind soul, give her the chance to find happiness elsewhere. This will just hurt both of you-"
"Mom, let me call you back tomorrow", he hang up right after that.
Nicole's curious gaze bore into him but he averted it and slumped onto the edge of their bed. She could not lie and say she didn't hear anything his mother said. Their room was too quiet, she could pick up on what Victoria said. It tugged at her heartstrings in a painful pull.
She felt hot tears threaten to fall but she quickly blinked them back. Snapping her out of it was the sound of his phone dropping to the ground. She bent down to oick it up the ssme time he tried to but she was quicker.
"Did she send you these?" Lorraine asked in confirmation at the pictures.
He nodded. She looked at the baby's picture and felt a pang in her heart. She had dreamt of starting a family one day and with how things had been going, she hoped it would be with Xavier. But that dream was quickly set in flames by their new reality. As she wallowed in this, her mind took her back to Amy's call.
"Did Amy call you back?" She asked him after remembering.
"No.....", The pain in his eyes quickly disappeared and something flashed in his eyes. "No."
He quickly stood up and took back his phone. He immediatelyy dialed her number. It started to ring only for the call to be declined. Nicole watched in anxiousness as his brows furrowed. He dialed again and the call was declined once more. He tried again and only for the receuver to tell him the phone was switched off.
"Fuck!" He grumbled in annoyance. His eyes fell on the pictures of the sonogram and results. Amy's question echoed in his mind the more he stared at the pictures. Did Amy's phone call mean anything earlier? She did say it was important. Was there something he was missing?
He blinked and snapped out of his thoughts when he took in Lorraine's worried and puffy face, all of this because of him. He had made her cry yet she was still by his side. His heart ached as he caressed her cheek gently, "Let's go to sleep."
The next day
Amy furrowed her brows from the bright light and opened them. She was greeted by the sight of the coffee table and other sofas. Hers and Zach's clothes lay scattered on the floor reminding her of the previous night's events. Her face flushed red as she looked down to find a sheet covering her naked body and Zach's hand holding her titty. He was sleeping behind her, spooning her.
Roserie slept alone. Speaking of which, she needed to check on her. She was about to move when his other hand pulled her against him and a moan escaped her lips. She gasped in shock and slipped a hand inside right to the base of her butt and felt his thick cock that was buried inside her.
"Babe", she called in a whisper, her face as red as a tomato as she looked over her shoulder.
"Hmm", he answered, holding her waist and giving her a lazy thrust.
"Ohh", she shuddered and fought to remain sane. "Zachery, I need to get up and check on Roserie."
"She's sleeping", he answered, still with his eyes closed. "One more round before she wakes up."
"You're using her as an excuse again?" Her tone was accusatory.
"I couldn't sleep, what did you want me to do?" He grumbled.
"Four times?"
He chuckled remembering how he would wake up to Roserie's cries, he would attend to her using the feeding bottle or if she needed a diaper change or just be comforted to sleep. When he returned to the living room, he would claim his sleep was gone thanks to that. And he opted to fuck Amy again and again instead of staying up and waiting for sleep to come.
"You're a beast", she shook her head.
"I'm sorry", he said, holding her tight and turning them over so he lay on his back and Amy on top of him, with her back against his chest.
"Zachery", she whined when he lifted her leg and rested it atop the sofa so her legs were spread wide apart. "You know I haven't returned Xavier's calls."
"After this, I promise", he said in low growl against her ear.
"That's what you sai- Ahh! Ah! Ah!" She was interrupted by his thrusts, pushing himself deep into her then out.
His hands were hooked under her knees to keep her from closing her legs as he grunted into her ear with each thrust. She threw her head back, relishing the pleasure that her man was giving her early in the morning. She was walking funny the day before thanks to him and at this point, she was sure she would not be able to lift a limb.
Meanwhile, Lorraine could not contain the gloomy expression on her face as she gazed out of the tinted car window. Xavier kept his gaze on the road, his face void of any emotions. The two managed to keep the issue from Oliver so the young man was oblivious to the happenings that put a strain on their relationship.
Lorraine snapped out of her trance when the car came to a stop. She turned to look at him and guessing what he was about to say, she shook her head frantically.
"I'm not staying in the car. I came here...", She swallowed back a sob as her tears now stained her face.
Click! Click! Click!
The entertainment news reporters tried their hardest to get a clear shot of the couple in the car. They watched as Xavier pressed his lips against hers. He pulled away and hugged her, shielding her face.
"I'm sorry for putting you through this. It will never happen again, I promise."
She only sniffled in his embrace. He pulled away wiped her tears and took shades from the glove compartment and put them on her then a scarf from a bag in the back seat and put it over head then tied it under her chin. Giving her one last look, he got down. The reporters swammed around him and followed as he went to her side to get the door for her.
"Keep your head down", he whispered and hooked his arm over her leading her inside.
