24

After talking with Jay for hours upon hours I look at the time

"Holy shit we've been talking for that long," I laugh showing Jay the current time, he laughs

"I guess I should get home" Jay says groaning throwing his head back

"Or you can stay, you look too tired too drive" I say looking towards my stairs

"Are you sure?" He says looking at me and I nod my head

"Ok I'll just crash here on the cou-"

"No" I blurt out

"I mean no you can have my room and I will take the couch" I stutter my words out fidgeting with my hands

"No I'll be fine on the couch Kenny" he says

"I have a quick question?" I say picking at my nails

"What's sup?"

"What happened to that little girl from the Alexandre Green case?" I look at him

"She was brought to a foster family until they find her a permanent home" he says pulling me closer to him "why you asking?" He looks at me weirdly

"No reason" i give him a fake smile

I touch my stomach

"You ok?" Jay asks grabbing my hand

"Uh yah my tummy is feeling a little funny" I laugh looking down at my stomach

"You eat too much?" Jay asks

"Probably" I smile standing up outreaching my hand

"Come lay with me until i fall asleep please" I whisper he grabs my hand and we walk upstairs to my room

I change into my black satin pj shorts and a sports bra since it was a bit warm in my apartment tonight

I sit up sweat running down my forehead

"Hey you good Kennedy?" I look behind me to see Jay sitting up

"Uh yah just a bad dream" I relax and sit back against the head board

"You want to talk about it?" I shake my head no wiping my forehead with my arm

"I'm fine can you go get me some water?" I ask and he nods his head and walks into my bathroom and fills my cup with cold water

He walks back in and hands me the cup, I take a big gulp and place the cup on the night stand

"Are you a hundred percent you don't want to talk about it?" And I shake my head yes, I grab my bedside clock

We only slept for a little over a hour

"Jay can we please go back to sleep I work at 8?" I ask and he lays back down

I wake up to my alarm going off

"Jay?" I roll over to feel an empty spot

"Jay!" I yell barely lifting my head off the pillow

"In the kitchen!" He yells back "I got coffee!" He adds and I sit up walking down the steps zombie-like

"Coffee now please" I say holding my hands up for the hot cup of java

"Here you go" he hands me a cup

"Thank you so much"

"Do you think I can see the little girl?" I ask avoiding eye contact

"Kennedy I don't think so not unless you're related" he laughs

"What if she's my daughter?" I say taking a drink of my coffee
