So Daring
After that incident, Emmie immediately went to her bedroom once dinner ended. She excused herself, saying that she needed to take a rest.
Truthfully, the whole time she was being questioned by the couple, she couldn't help but feel nervous. How couldn't she? James might get the right idea that the child she's bearing is actually his.
She couldn't even chew and swallow her food well due to the building tension between her and the man. He was staring idly at her as though he had lots of questions in his head.
Emmie took a deep sigh before she took her phone from the drawer above her bedside table. Whether James finds out the truth or not, she has to bear with it. For the meantime, she has to deal with what Mrs. Crawford asked her earlier.
Checking the date of her next prenatal check up, she found out that it will be on the day after tomorrow. After confirming her schedule, she went to message her professor and mentioned her line up before she quickly went to bed.
Not much had happened after that event happened. A day has passed and the next day would be her prenatal check up. As she prepares her things and took a bath for her appointment, she went towards the living room, waiting for Mrs. Crawford.
Emmie couldn't believe that she slept past her alarm and managed to be late. When she came down to the kitchen, she already noticed the people out of their house and only she was left alone.
When she went towards the dining area, she noticed breakfast served covered in plastic. It was probably her meal. It was scrambled eggs with fried hotdog, fried rice and a glass of orange juice.
As she took a seat and started taking a bite of her food, she noticed the time across the wall and oddly noticed how Mrs. Crawford was not at home.
She knows that they have their appointment for today so how come her professor is still away? Once she finished her food, she still waited in the living room for about twenty minutes until she thought of the idea that Mrs. Crawford might have forgotten about their schedule.
Maybe Mrs. Crawford had been so busy, she forgot about her prenatal check up?
Just as she was starting to have thoughts in her head, the main door suddenly swings open, only to reveal a sweaty man approaching her in the living room.
He was dressed in white tight sportswear showing his sturdy muscles, broad shoulders and strong calfs. The way his sweat dripped from his forehead to his neck felt as though she was watching something come out of a fantasy book.
Unconsciously, Emmie found herself swallowing the lump on her throat as she continued to view the perfect body figure of the man. Whenever she looks at him, she can't help but remember those times when they were doing it. She misses those sides of them when the man touched her at her weakest spot and how he would moan sweetly close to her ear.
She gulped, shaking her head. She's already pregnant so why is she acting like this?
"Are you done? Can I take a shower now?" Pulling her back from her deep thoughts, she finds herself staring right back at those fiery eyes of his. She can't believe she was having lewd thoughts in front of him!
Embarassed by how she acted, she immediately averted her gaze while the man showed a mischievous smile across his lips. She can feel her cheeks red, wishing that the earth would just hurry and bury her.
"Go then." Her words made the man want to tease her more.
"Do you think we still have time?" the man asked sarcastically which made her much more embarrassed.
Damn it, this man is trying to get to her!
She furrowed her brows as he took a seat close to where she was sitting. Truth to be told, even if she's annoyed that he's teasing her, she still can't help but stare at those eyes of his.
She can't resist how handsome he looks, and that's something she hates herself for.
Her heart started pounding fast inside her ribcage when she finally realized how close their distance was. His face was slowly inching close to her which made her more conscious and weirded out.
An inch away from each other, she could already smell his perfume across his sweaty sportswear.
Damn it, why does he smell so good?
Hypnotized by his charming antics, her gaze slowly lowered towards his lips. Those heart shaped lips; warm and soft... honestly, she misses it so much that she had to gulp once again.
Closing her eyes as she felt the man doing the same thing, she waited to be touched until she heard him speak.
"You miss my kiss, don't you?" Just as she was starting to delude herself, the man dragged her back from oblivion.
His breath smelled as though it was lemon mint. She quickly opened her eyes from hearing those words and pushed him away.
"Behave yourself, Mr. Sullivan," she quickly said and afterwards, looked at him with a creased forehead. "Can't you see that I'm pregnant? Don't you have any shame?" she added that made the man startled.
He probably didn't expect her to act like that since she had been quiet all these time.
Once James heard those words, his face immediately turned red from embarassed as he quickly rose to his feet. And without a word, he left her side as though he need to take a breather.
Well sucks for him since he was actually the one who had impregnated her.
Honestly, she can't tell whether the man is happy or annoyed that she started living in his own household. Sometimes, he acts as though he is sweet and helpful and the other, sarcastic and somewhat cold.
She rolled her eyes on the side before crossing her arms. Whatever the case is, it doesn't really matter, all that matters is that she's not hurting anymore nor is she planning to get back with him just yet.
Emmie was in deep thoughts when suddenly, her phone rang. As she fished out her mobile from the inside of her bag, she checked who it was calling and it was none other than Mrs. Crawford.
"Hello," she greeted on the line.
"Hello, Emmie. I'm sorry dear, I think I won't be able to accompany you for today. We have an urgent meeting in school and my husband is currently on the farm, managing our business," Mrs. Crawford immediately explained.
"It's alright, Ma'am" she replied, nodding her head despite the other woman not seeing her gesture.
"But don't worry, dear, since James is at home lodging, he'll be the kne to accompany for today," the woman added, making her flinch.
Seriously?
"A-Alright." Trying not to show that she was dumbfounded by the woman's words, she quickly responded and smiled on the phone. "You don't have to worry Mrs. Crawford, thank you for worrying," she added, immediately recovering from earlier conversation. "I can go by myself so I don't have to bother your son."
"Oh no dear, don't go by yourself, he is just going to take a shower; he will come with you," Mrs. Crawford mumbled.
As much as she wanted to refuse the offer, she couldn't reason out with the woman. She insisted that she should be escorted by her own son which had resulted in her agreeing in the end.
When the call finally ended, she heaved a deep sigh, thinking to herself.
How would they even reach the prenatal check up when they just fought in the living room just earlier?
She doesn't even know how to face him when she's the one who has scolded her completely.
