I shouldn’t care, but I do.
That was a loud bang.
Maybe it will snap some sense into him, but I doubt it.
“No. That fucking hurt. I was waiting for you to open it and fell asleep.” He groans as he climbs to his feet.
With a wobble, as he rubs the back of his head, Knox reaches out his hand and I take it. Immediately, an electrical charge sparks between us and I snap back my hand.
Knox stares down at me.
God, I want him to pull me into his arms.
Emotion boils up inside me and my eyes well.
“Payton.” He reaches for me, but I step away.
“Please go. It’s three in the morning.” I shake my head.
“I’m going right back out there.” He points to the spot where he was sitting outside. “I’m not leaving.”
Why? Why did he take him a whole week to come to me?
I want to ask why he let me go at the venue instead of fighting for us.
Suddenly, it dawns on me.
I frown and his eyes narrow at me. We had unprotected sex twice. He wants to know if I’m pregnant.
An unwanted Montgomery baby - wouldn’t that be front page news?
Well, he’s about to get the fright of his life.
My heart splinters at the sadness of it all. This should be a happy time. There had been a moment where I truly thought he really liked me. More than liked me. Now we will be co-parenting this child as strangers.
If he even tries to tell me to get rid of it, I will hate him for eternity.
“What is that look?” Knox growls, taking a step forward, towering over me.
Which I used to love.
I still love it.
My eyes dip and the next minute Knox brushes the hair off my forehead and I’m glancing up at him.
“I was an idiot,” he says softly.
“That doesn’t fix anything.” I glance over at the boxes. His eyes follow mine and then turn dark as they return to me.
“You are leaving?”
“I don’t have a job. I have to go home to my parents,” I huff and walk back into the apartment.
I hear the door close and then feel him behind me as I stand, hugging myself.
“Where do your parents live?”
“An hour away. I’ll find something there,” I reply, knowing that at some point I will be in touch to tell him about the baby.
