When I'm With You (REWRITING)

CHAPTER 47

My eyes widen as he looks up at me with a small frown. 

NC - Dee, Hello? 

D - Huh? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.

NC - Is everything alright?

D - Yes, everything is fine.

I could feel Kaz staring at the side of my face, burning holes so intense I could feel the heat. 

NC - I was saying that I've changed the appointment for you. You are going to have to come the day before. So August 26th, It's a Tuesday. Is that alright with you?"

D - Yep, that's completely fine.

NC - Great! Have a lovely day.

D - I'll see you then! Bye.

I end the call and turn around.

"Who was it?" Kaz asks suddenly as he puts his shirt on. 

What am I meant to say? 

"It was Landon," I quickly make up, hoping he would buy it. "He just wanted to tell me about the seating arrangements for the wedding reception." I shine him a small smile. 

He didn't seem amused by what I had said. All he did was nod and walk out of the room like the conversation never happened.

I breathe out the breath I didn't know I was holding in. My hands come up and lightly rest on my hand on my belly. When am I going to have the guts to tell him that I'm pregnant?

I walk down once again, realising that the blood against the floorboards was now gone and Kaz sitting on the couch. He had a bottle of lemonade in his hand, which he occasionally slipped from while watching something on the TV.

My phone started ringing again and I see Kaz snapped out of his world and look in my direction but I hid behind the wall. I call the phone and walk as if I just came downstairs, and follow myself to the living room.

D - Hello?

L - Hey girly! How have you been?

D - I'm great, Layla. 

L - What happening? I heard the boys came back early.

D - Yeah they did give us quite the surprise

I look towards Kaz, who seemed to just ignore my conversation. 

D - What's up? 

My voice was slightly croaking and I was surprised as to why I haven't broken down over the phone yet. 

L - I was thinking we go dress shopping. What say tomorrow around 12?

D- Yes! Of course Layla.

L- Great! I'll pick you up around 11. Be ready. See you tomorrow!

She ends the call and for the first time today, I felt at peace with myself. I small smile craves my lips as I look down at my phone.

I hear Kaz get off the couch and walk past me to the kitchen.

"Layla called," I inform him as I follow him into the kitchen like a lost puppy.  

He looks up and raises his eyebrows "And?"

"I'm going dress shopping with her tomorrow,"

He nods silently and walks out of the kitchen once again, leaving me by myself to think about what I've done to make him behave this way.
