MINE

Part 26

Really sorry for the late publish :(

______________________________________

It's been a week since I move in to Jordan's house, the time flies so fast without I realising it. Jordan has been a really good boyfriend? Soon to be husband? I honestly don't know. We are not in any kind of relationship, let alone married to each other. I just think of him as the father of my baby.

But, maybe we do have a chance as a couple, who knows? Maybe he isn't that bad? Or maybe the beginning isn't that bad? But do I really trust him? Do I really have to forgot about the past? . I run my fingers through my hair, all these thoughts making my doubts skyrocket. As much as I trying hard to be positive, somehow the negativity manage to crawl its way up.

I shake my head, isn't too late to back up now?

"Hey there.."

I was out on my trance the moment I heard greetings. I turn my head to face with the person, Harry. "Hey, " I said as I observed him making his way to the refrigerator, opening it door, taking out a carton of milk and drinking it straight from it carton. I frown, it isn't that hard to reach a glass and pour it in, but then again, maybe it just a habit after all. He's kind of opposite from his brother but then again they are step~brother,

"So, how are you doing?" He ask me reaching an apple from the island counter and took a bite from it.

"I think I'm fine" I said. He look me with that much curiosity, it is like he's wanted to ask a lot of things.

"Honestly, I wanted to ask you something, can I?". Never had I thought that my observation kind of right this time.

"Yeah, ask me while you can" I said, just a bit of sarcasm if he's smart enough to notice, but then again of course he do notice, he's a detective after all, ugh I should really stop judging people.

" How did you actually agree to move in with him?" He said while his eyes looking at me intensely, I remember the time that he looked me with that kind of gaze was the time that I had been interogated during the library cases.

"Well, simply because he's the father of my baby.." I said, well that is the only reason that I could muster right now, It's sounds like I'm desperate but no, he doesn't have to know the real story behind it.

"I believe you,(bitting his apple) he's rich, good looking man that any woman on earth would die for, smart, and maybe a bit psycho but who cares? Women actually come back to him even when he treat them like a trash, isn't?"

I wanted to frown and ask him what does he meant by that? I mean, does he actually trying to warn me or throwing it on me? And treating women like a trash? Whoever did that doesn't deserve to be called a man.

"What's your point here, Harry?" I try my best to keep my poker face.

"Well, It just curiousity, an amazing woman like you...stuck with him..with a baby, doesn't sound off to you ?" He chuckled. I don't know if he knows about the kidnapping part, but I guess he doesn't. "Well, you're the smartest, why don't you investigate it yourself?" I said.

He chuckled again.

"Why would I wanted to investigate him? Its wasting my time and my energy" He said leaning onto the island.

"I thought both of you are close.." I said, I know what he's doing right now or maybe not, he's confusing me.
"Ohh, he is my favourite brothers out of all other brothers. But, that doesn't mean we are brothers for life." He smirk.

"Ohh well, that can't be help.." as soon as I said that he is already in front of me, only the kitchen table seperate us. To be honest I was quite surprised. He's leaning forward with both hand on the table supporting him.

"You deserved someone who can treat you 10 times better." He said seriously before walking out, leaving me in a dazed. The fuck is that. I decided to not take that seriously, for now. I have things far more serious to worry about like the pain I felt right now. Damn!

Fortunately, I know this moment will eventually come and I have to be ready, I always bring my phone with me. I reach it inside my pocket and dial the number that I think is responsible for this.

Tut...

Before he could respond, I yell.
"God damn it! What taking you so long for a cup of strawberry milkshakes, I'm giving birth!" I said a bit panicked, I could hear him running.

I wanted to drink strawberry milkshakes this morning and he's being the sweetest man and just like how I mentioned above offer to but it for me, so he go.

Suddenly he appeared in the kitchen  holding a big cup of strawberry milkshake with whipped cream on top, chocolate sizzling and strawberry syrup, with crunchy roasted sweet peanuts as add-on and 2 strawberries sitting on the side of whipped cream with long rolling wafer function as an edible straw.
(I try my best to explain this :)))

Gosh! I need to have a test on this before I go to the hospital. " You can walk? Do you want me to carry you?"
Of course I can walk.

"Yes I can, just let me have a taste at this milkshakes before we go" I said and immediately drink it as much as I can. It such a waste.

"Come Adelle, It's okay, I will buy you one after this." He said, while holding me tight. Awww, my milkshakes, I have to leave you right after you came.

"Push push harder!" The nurse said. I was grunting, yelling and sweating a lot, the pain are so intense it feels like the pelvic bone is coming out and it's feels like forever before I heard noise of crying. The doctor cut the  cord,she wrap the baby in the fluffy towel and she put it in my hand.

"Congratulations, you got a cute baby boy" she said with a wide smile, probably happy too. I hold my baby boy, tears of  joy trickle down my cheek, hearing his cry make me forgot about everything. I was so overwhelmed until I didn't realize that Jordan is beside me, smiling ear to ear, he must be happy knowing that he got a son.
