•Dominic

Just breathe.

Shutting my laptop I collapsed back against the pillows.

My head was hurting and I felt like punching the shit out of something.

No matter how many times I told myself to relax it wouldn’t happen.

Keeping my eyes closed I didn’t move as I heard the bedroom door close.

A couple of seconds later the bed shifted before I felt her body rest against mine.

“You okay?” She asked quietly as her lips pressed against my cheek.

Sighing “yeah” I knew it wouldn’t make her leave.

“Dinners ready.”

Opening my eyes I found her worried eyes on me before offering her a smile.

“Thanks.”

Watching her sit up I did the same before resting against the headboard.

“How are you feeling?”

“Fine,” she smiled as she interlaced our fingers.

This morning I woke up and took a shower getting ready for work while she went to make breakfast for Greyson. By the time I had managed to get dressed she came running into the bathroom, nearly knocking me over, before throwing up.

I tried to get her to stay home but she didn’t, she said she was fine.

Dropping my gaze to our hands I waited a couple of seconds before looking up at her.

“I have to tell you something.”

“Okay.”

“You know how everything’s been going good at work?”

Nodding she kept her gaze on me making me want to look away.

“It’s not official yet, but a lot of the guys are saying that we might have to leave again.”

She didn’t say anything. Thumb that had been rubbing against my hand stopped as she dropped her gaze.

“It hasn’t been finalized yet-“

“I’m pregnant.”

At first I thought I’d miss heard her but the weak smile she gave me told me I didn’t.

Starting Over (feat. Ben Bridwell)

Chapter 43 (part 2)

Thu, 03 Jan 2013 19:39:38 -0500

“So,” glancing down at my watch for a second I looked across the table at Khloe “What time do I need to get you home tonight?”

Taking a second to think she sat her fork down.

“I don’t wanna keep you here all night, your boyfriend might try and kick my ass.”

Reaching across the table she grabbed my beer before taking a sip.

“You can keep me as long as you want,” she smiled

“No boyfriend?”

Passing it back to me she shook her head before beginning to eat again.

I began to eat once she didn’t say anything else about it.

Through out the entire ride to the restaurant she checked her phone which made me think maybe it’s just problems, but I guess it’s more than that.

“He forgot my birthday.”

Looking up I watched as she sat her hands in her lap “I’m sorry,”

“It’s fine,” she smiled as she glanced up at me. “It wasn’t even a serious kinda thing you know…we both have things we want and clearly it’s not the same thing.”

“It’s a good thing you realized that before you had any serious attachments, like a kid.”

“How is he by the way? Jamie?”

“He’s doing good, his birthday’s coming up so he walks up to me this morning and hands me a list of what he wants.”

“I used to love opening presents, what’d he ask for?”

Concentrating on my food I shrugged, “the usual stuff…toys.”

I was being honest, he did ask for that but he also asked for his mom to move in with us. I would’ve taken the time to consider it but Emma might have made some progress when it came to James but with everything else it was like she’d taken two steps back.

She called me the other night asking if I could wire her some money because she got let go from her job. Of course I had no problem with it because its not like I could just let her go around moneyless but when I found out why she’d been let go I wasn’t seeing things the same anymore.

Turns out she was barely going to work and when she was she was showing up late and taking long lunch breaks.

If she was slipping back into her old patterns with something simple as work there was only a matter of time before she did the same with our son.

“He’s a great kid,” she smiled pulling me away from my thoughts.

“He misses you.”

Looking up at me she let her smile grow causing me to want to change the subject, I didn’t need her to do this to me.

Reaching into my pocket I pulled out my key before unlocking the door.

The entire ride home I was trying to figure out exactly what David would do once we got back to the apartment because although he was very clear last summer he was the most confusing thing tonight.

He took the liberty of opening doors and pulling out chairs for me in the beginning then it all changed when we decided to leave.

It’s not like I’m taking too much of it to heart anyway because I already know what this is and exactly who it was being done with. Even if I wanted it to, and I don’t, be more than a get together it wouldn’t be able to happen.

Well it could but I wouldn’t let it happen because it just wasn’t something I would do knowingly. When I first met him I didn’t have any clue what he did for a living but now that I did it was pretty much out of the question for us to be more than friends.

“So um…” Facing him I offered him a smile as he looked up from his keys. “Thanks for tonight.”

“You’re welcome,” he smiled.

I kept my hand on the door only because I found myself instantly frozen as he closed the distance between us.

Leaning in he gently kissed my cheek, his fingers brushing against my hair before the same spot where his lips had just been.

“I’ll see you soon,” he smiled as I looked up at him.

Nodding I opened the door before stepping inside and shutting it behind me.

The second it was closed I let out the deep breath I was holding.

“Hey,” Hanna smiled as she looked up from the television. “How’d it go?”

“Great,” not giving her anything else I dropped my stuff to the floor and crawled on the chair beside her.

“Did you know who interrupt you guys?”

“Nope,” closing my eyes I rested my head against her lap. “Even if he did I don’t want to talk to him.”

Opening my eyes I glanced at the clock before shutting them again.

It was nearly three o’clock in the morning and I couldn’t sleep. I didn’t even know why.

Getting out the bed I grabbed my jeans and pulled them on before heading down the hall.

I didn’t really do anything today because I was off.

Making my way down the stairwell I propped the door open before reaching into my pocket for my lighter.

I was getting lunch the other day and someone asked me if I wanted a smoke. My initial response was no because I knew it drove her insane but then I retracted because I shouldn’t even care what Khloe thinks anymore.

She hasn’t even bothered to call me since we last spoke which meant she didn’t wanna talk.

Pulling out my phone I scrolled through the contacts until I came to her name and called her.

I was expecting it to just ring and go to voicemail but it ended up clicking over on the forth ring.

“Hello?” Came a groggy voice.

“Hey Khloe,”

“Christopher?”

“Yeah…”

“Do you realize what time it is?” She sighed as I glanced down the lifeless street.

“Yeah I know, but I didn’t expect you to actually answer…”

“If I knew it was you I wasn’t going to, when did you get a new number?” She responded punching me in the stomach.

“A couple of days ago, I sent it to you.”

“Well I guess I didn’t get it.”

The line went quiet as I tossed the bud to the ground and put it out.

“I was just calling to see how you were, haven’t talked to you in a while.”

“I’m fine,” was all I got forcing me to elaborate on the statement.

“Are-we cool?”

“Yeah.”

Even though she said it something told me we’re not. I needed to see her face.

“Okay that’s good, because you haven’t talked to me so-“

“Can we not do this right now.”

“Yeah, sure. We can just talk-“

Before I could finish my sentence the call dropped and the dead tone filled my ear.

“Babe!” Shutting the front door I balanced the bags in my hands and managed to lock it.

Looking around the living room I took in his clothes strewn across the sofa and the bottle of beer open on the counter.

Setting the bags on the counter I glanced down the hall.

“Jacob?”

A thud came from the down the towards the bedroom so I headed to the fridge and grabbed another beer before setting it on the counter.

“Jacob?”

Figuring he was in the shower I laid down on the sofa before reaching for the remote.

It wasn’t until I turned on the tv that I heard the bedroom door open and footsteps coming down the hall.

Glass shattered in the kitchen causing me to sit up to see his back towards me as he leaned over the sink. Sitting up I instinctively flinched as his phone slammed into the wall before clattering to the floor.

“You okay?”

“Yeah,” he sighed as the water shut on.

Even though he said he was I didn’t believe him. Jake and I may not have known each other for such a long period of time but I did know that he was rarely got made. One thing that people always remember about him is his smile, and that’s because he’s always smiling.

Getting up, I made my way into the kitchen before stopping at his side.

The second I touched his shoulder he moved out of my reach before turning to step around me.

“Hey, Jacob what’s wrong?”

Running his fingers through his hair he rolled his eyes as I caught his hand.

“It’s nothing” he sighed as he rested against the counter.

It wasn’t much but he didn’t remove his hand from mine. Letting them brush against his wrist I offered him a smile as he watched me.

He stayed where he was as I slipped my fingers from his before taking a step towards him.

After I was sure he was fine I closed the rest of the distance between us and wrapped my arms around his neck.

Burying his face against my neck he let out a deep breath sending tingles down my spine. “I missed you today,” he whispered quietly as his hands tightened around my waist.

“Do you wanna talk about it?”

Not answering me he kissed my neck before burying his face back into my skin.

Pulling back to get a good look at him I watched him shake his head.

“Okay, that’s fine….do you wanna eat or something?”

He didn’t say anything, he just let his fingers slip into my hair before tilting my face up to his.

I looked up into his eyes and he kissed me, but it wasn’t just any kiss. It was a kiss we had never shared before. This one was a mind blowing, warm your entire body, tingles from your fingers down to your toes, magical kisses.

Letting my things hit the floor, Jake slipped his tongue into my mouth making me feel as though I’d melt right there.

His hands gripped tighter around my waist as my fingers ran through his hair. Squeals filled the air as he pressed against me and we stumbled back into the door.

His lips pressed roughly against my neck as I fumbled with his belt but before I could get it undone he was distracting my attention as his hands ran up my legs pushing my skirt up my waist before retracing their steps.

“I think I love you,” he smiled against my lips.

“Think?”

Silencing me with a kiss he nearly wiped my mind clean.

Hooking his hands under my knees he lifted me up causing me to giggle as my hair fell over his shoulder.

“You love me huh?”

Grinning up at me, he managed to push the bedroom door open before carrying me to the bed.

(Later that day)

“Can I ask you something?”

Opening my eyes I looked up to find Jake

“What is it?”

Letting his fingers entangle themselves in my hair he rested his body against mine.

“What are you doing tomorrow night?” He asked quietly

“Nothing…why?”

“There’s this dinner…” Trailing off he gently pressed his lips against my chin before my lips. “I was hoping you’d come with me.”

“A dinner? What’s it for?”

“I’m getting something-“

“Seriously?”

“It’s not a big deal,” he chuckled as he prevented me from sitting up.

“Yes it is, what are you getting?”

Ignoring my question he kissed my forehead before burying his face against my shoulder.

“Can you at least give me a hint?”

Pushing against his chest I watched his smile grow.

Shaking his head he dropped his eyes to my hands, “it’s kinda a family thing but I promise you’ll like it.”

Watching his facial expression I paused as a door slammed down the hall.

“Is that your sister?”

Sitting up I glanced at the clock, it was entirely too late for her to be home. Khloe was volunteering with Paige downtown today and would be gone all day, that’s why Jake was over here.

“I don’t think so…”

“Lets just stay here,” he sighed as he wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me back across the bed.

I almost gave into him as he kissed my cheek but I pushed his arms away as Hanna’s voice floated through the cracked door.

“You’re such an asshole!” She shouted as I got up.

“What?” He sighed as I pulled on his shirt. “They’re just arguing.”

“You don’t know him,”

Quickly getting dressed I started down the hallway, their voices getting louder with each step.

“I don’t even know what you’re getting upset about-“

“Seriously Tyler?”

Turning into the living room I watched as Tyler shoved her back into the sofa before Hanna launched herself at him.

I didn’t even make it halfway across the room before Jake was pulling Hanna out of reach of Tyler’s swing.

Pushing her towards me, Jake turned around shoving Tyler towards the other side of the room.

“Get out.”

Ignoring him, Tyler shoved his hand off his chest. “This doesn’t concern you.”

“You can either get out or I’ll put you out because you’re not staying here.”

“It’s none of your fucking business what I do with my girlfriend!”

Attempting to shove him out the way, Tyler was slammed back into the way causing Hanna to pull away from me.

Stepping between Jake and Tyler she quickly said “Lets go.”

“Hanna-“

Ignoring me she grabbed her jacket before looking over at Jake, “can you just get the door please?”

Looking over at me he glanced over at her before crossing the room and opening the door for her.

Rolling his eyes Tyler started out the door before disappearing down the steps.

“Hanna you don’t have to go with him.”

“I’ll be fine Shay,” she smiled as she pulled her jacket on. “He just needs to cool off. Tell Khloe I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to her, our flight leaves tonight.”

“Jake get her!”

”You know she’s not gonna listen to me,” he sighed as he shot me an apologetic look.

Closing the door behind her Hanna left us standing in place.

Chapter 43: Surprises (part 1)

Tue, 25 Dec 2012 21:12:22 -0500

“So,” Khloe smiled as she crawled on the sofa beside me. “Are you staying here tonight?”

“Most likely.”

“What about Tyler?”

Shrugging “what about him?” I laid back against the pillow.

“He’s not staying with you tonight?” Paige asked as she glanced over at Khloe.

“He’s meeting up with some old friends, he’ll just crash at their place.” I recited the information just as he had told me hours earlier.

For a moment they didn’t say anything but I could tell by Khloe’s face she was trying her best to hold it in.

“Go ahead and spit it out.”

Shooting me an apprehensive look she bit her lip before sighing “okay.”

Bracing myself I tucked my hair behind my ears.

“It’s just…I thought you realized the type of guy he was when he was with Paige.”

“It’s not like that though…”

“How is it not?” Paige laughed humorlessly. “He was all over other girls at the party the other night!”

“And you didn’t say anything. He’s staying across town with people you’ve never met. Besides, when I left you said you absolutely hated his guts. What happened?”

“Oh my gosh! Why is everyone picking on me?”

“Picking on you? Hanna, we just know the type of guy Tyler is we’ve both been through this with him-“

“Fine, you guys wanna talk relationships? Are we all going to ignore this whole situation with Chris?”

The moment I said his name the room went silent.

“Because let’s not pretend I’m the only one in a screwed up relationship here Khloe. Your relationship must be so perfect when Chris can’t even show up for your birthday party at your expense. You dated Tyler, well guess what. I’ve dated Chris and I told you the moment I found you in my house that morning how he was. He sits there and makes you feel like he’s the only girl he could ever love but he’d rather give that up for a stranger who’s willing to make him chase her around just because you don’t make him do it any more. I swear I love you but you need to realize that I’m not the only one who needs to take a look in the mirror.”

Catching my breath I looked up at her.

I honestly don’t know what I expected her reaction to be but it somewhat involved her tossing the pillow in her arms at me, but instead she just kept her eyes on it.

Looking up at me she nodded before faintly smiling, “Thanks Hanna.”

Before I could say anything the lock on the front door clicked and the door was pushed open.

The guy who walked in was someone I only recognized in passing from Khloe’s party the other night. He was talking to her when I arrived but I soon realized he was there with Shannon; who I had barely seen since I’ve been here.

“Hey Jake.” Khloe smiled as he shut the door.

“Hey,” he smiled as he dropped his bag to the floor. “Hey ladies” he added as he squeezed between us two.

“Where’s Shannon?” She asked as glanced towards the door.

“She told me to meet her here.” He shrugged as he glanced at his watch.

“That means she’ll be another hour,” she laughed as he nodded.

Watching him roll the sleeves of his button down up his arms I got a better look at the watch he wore.

I didn’t even know him but I knew that his watch cost more than probably anything I own.

Keeping my eyes closed, I listened to Greyson’s soft breathing as he remained curled up under my blanket.

Dominic and I had finally made it home and didn’t even bother making Greyson go to school today.

I stayed home with him while Dominic went to work for the day. It’s been nearly six months since he’s been here and everything seems a lot better than they did when he first came back home. If they weren’t, he was doing a hell of a job hiding it from me. Sometimes he’d have this moments where I felt like he wasn’t really paying attention to what was going on around him but everyone daydreams from time to time.

The door creaked letting me know that Dominic was finished watching the game.

Once he realized he had my attention he nodded towards the hall before disappearing.

Carefully getting up I made my way down the hall to find him resting against the table his phone in his hands.

“How’d it go?”

Dramatically rolling his eyes he smiled as he caught my hand pulling me into him. “We’ll do better next time…”

“I hope so, I don’t wanna hear you complaining about it all week.”

Wrapping my arms around his neck I couldn’t help but smile as he buried his face into my skin.

“I don’t think he’ll be getting up anytime soon.” He let out a deep breath sending tingles across my skin before pulling back to look at me.

Taking in his smile I watched his eyes search my face, “is that supposed to be code for something else?”

Playfully shrugging, “I’ll let you decide,” he let his hands pull me closer.

There was no denying the butterflies in my stomach and the heat spreading across my skin as he lightly kissed my cheek before moving to my neck.

The buzzing of his phone caused him to rest his head against me before pulling back to take a look at the screen.

Catching his breath he let it out before faintly smiling, “I gotta take this.”

Just as I was about to step around him to head to the kitchen he gripped my hand before adding quietly, “don’t go anywhere.”

Watching him step out onto the balcony I headed into the kitchen before pulling open the fridge to grab a beer.

I paused into the doorway to see him leaning against the railing as he stared up at the sky.

I wasn’t even sure who he was talking to but I hope it was his dad.

The other day I got a call from his dad out of the blue.

He wanted to know if I had heard from his son because he hadn’t in almost five years. He wasn’t even sure he was alive; when I told Dominic he brushed it off as though it was nothing. Didn’t even bother to take the number from me.

He was outside for nearly twenty minutes and when he came back in he tossed his phone aside before meeting me.

“Is everything okay?”

Nodding he smiled as he took the bottle from my hand. “Just a guy from work..”

Returning to kissing my skin he smiled as he walked towards the kitchen forcing me to walk backwards.

Giggles filled the air as he stumbled, his free hand catching me around the waist before lifting me up.

“Please don’t wake him up,” he chuckled as he managed to sit the bottle safely down on the counter top.

Glancing up from my computer screen I watched as Trey kicked the door shut, a giant box in his arms.

“What is that?”

Flashing me a grin he sat it down on the table before opening it.

“All my shit for the entertainment room,” he grinned as he pulled out a stack of video games.

“Cool…” Directing my attention back to the screen I refreshed the browser causing a picture of Khloe to pop up.

It was just of her, but she was the first one to catch my eye.

She was sitting on a guy I didn’t recognize lap. He had his arm draped over Shannon’s shoulder who had Hanna sitting beside her.

I didn’t even know Hanna was in Los Angeles but apparently she was because the picture she posted was from Khloe’s birthday party.

I wanted to call her but she didn’t even bother answering the phone anymore.

Granted I’ve only called her three times but there’s no point in calling someone who doesn’t want to talk to me.

I don’t even know why she’s so upset about, she’s acting like I didn’t just come down and see her a couple of weeks ago.

Like Trey said, I couldn’t stop my life to go be with her whenever she wanted me to. That’s exactly why I’m not even sorry.

“Okay, so where is she going again?” Hanna asked as she hopped up on the counter.

“To dinner.”

“With a guy?” She asked as she reached over me to grab a grape from my bowl.

“Yeah,”

“Who?”

Taking in her expression Paige waived, “David.”

Paige didn’t know him but Hanna did which explained her shocked expression as she looked up at me.

“Wait, so is this like a date?”

“No,” Khloe sighed as her room door closed.

Waiting until she turned into the room I rolled my eyes. “She wants it to be.”

“Definitely don’t.” She replied as she finished pulling her hair up, “just zip me up.”

Zipping up the dress for her I watched her face me as the doorbell filled the air.

“It’s not a date,” she smiled as she took in my expression. “He’s my friend.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Ringing the doorbell again I took a step back before glancing at my watch.

I was five minutes late.

I hope it didn’t really matter.

I actually ended up pulling into the complex parking lot thirty whole minutes ago but was afraid to come up the steps even a second earlier than eight o’clock.

Didn’t need to see too eager for this…especially since it wasn’t a date.

It was more a get together. Yeah, that’s something you have with friends.

But that didn’t stop the feeling in my stomach. I felt like throwing up right on the spot but I forced the feeling down as the door opened.

Stepping out into the hall Shannon let the door close behind her before looking up at me.

“Hi,” she smiled as she looked me over.

“Hey,”

“I really like you.” She sighed as she ran her hand over her face.

“That’s good to-“

“So please tell me that my mom’s just pulling this stupid stunt for attention.”

I was a hundred percent sure at first at what she was talking about but I caught on a second later.

“I’m not really sure yet.” I admitted as she let out a deep breath. “Does um…Khloe know-“

“Gosh no,” she shook her head. “She’d probably would’ve killed my mom right on the spot.”

“Good,” I sighed.

“I wanted to tell her,” I added as she shot me a skeptical look.

“Tonight?” Nodding I watched her raise her eyebrow.”Seriously?”

“I am.” I smiled as the door opened and Khloe stepped outside.

updating tonight, super happy about my ideas. but anyway merry or happy christmas to you all

Chapter 42: Happy Birthday Khloe

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 14:15:38 -0500

Shutting my bedroom door I started down the hallway.

I was up way earlier than I wanted to be but that was only because of Khloe.

Normally she’s up before me so I made sure to get up before her today so that I could attempt to make her breakfast.

Turning into the living room I smiled as my dad glanced over at me.

“Morning,”

Ducking down to let him kiss my cheek I smiled, “where’s mom?”

“Kitchen,” he replied as he made an attempt to get back up.

“I got it,” Waiting until he sat back down I headed into the kitchen to see my mom. She was standing at the stove. “What are you doing?”

“Making breakfast.”

“Since when do you make anything?”

Ignoring my comment she stepped around me for the eggs.

“And since when do you drink coffee in the morning?” Watching her cut off the coffee pot I checked the counters. “No wine?”

“It’s your sister’s birthday.”

“Yeah, I thought you guys were leaving today.”

“We are,” she replied as she took out a couple of plates. “Just wanted to be here when she wakes up.”

Staying where I was I kept my gaze on her.

I tried my best not to pay any attention to my mom but one thing that she didn’t do was anything that could benefit Khloe. You’d think she hated her.

I can’t even remember the last time she threw her a party, if anything was done for her birthday it was from me and dad. Or Khloe herself.

“So what’s wrong?”

Glancing over at me she shot me a confused look. “What makes you think something’s wrong?”

“The fact that you’re here. Don’t you have work or something to do back home.”

“I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to come see my daughters.”

“Mom, I already know that’s not the reason you’re here. Khloe might think it is but I don’t.”

Staring at me she sat down the plate in her hands before wiping her hair out of her face.

“I’m pregnant. I wanted to wait to tell you two.”

For a second I thought I had misheard her. There was no way she and my dad were having another child. They haven’t even slept in the same bed in only God knows how long.

“By who?”

My question sent an expression across her face that let me know it definitely wasn’t my dad.

“You cheated on dad?”

Shooting me an irritated look she quickly glanced towards the kitchen door.

“I’m not discussing anything with you,” she replied. “Go get your sister up.”

Realizing she wasn’t going to say anymore on the subject I left the kitchen.

Glancing over the back of the chair my dad asked, “are you going to get her?”

“Yeah-“

Before I could even finish he hopped up a giant smile on his face.

Watching him head to the coat closet I waited as he pulled out his suitcase before digging inside it. Finally retrieving what he wanted he put it inside before shoving it back inside.

“Your mom doesn’t know about the ticket,” he explained in a low voice as he started down the hallway with me.

Showing me the tiny red box in his hand he smiled, “I think she’ll like this though.”

“Like what?” My mom asked as she joined us outside Khloe’s door.

“What I got her,” he replied as he glanced back at her.

Watching him open the door I knew what I wanted to tell him was going to have to wait, at least until after Khloe’s birthday.

A knock came on the door as I kept my face buried in the pillow.

Deciding not to answer I waited but another one came.

“What?”

A second later the door opened causing me to look up at Robyn.

She was standing there a big smile on her face as she held up a cup.

“Are you ready?”

“For what?”

“The studio,” she replied as if it were obvious as I laid back down.

Letting out a deep breath I rolled onto my back.

I had promised her that I would go back to the studio with her today but I don’t feel like getting up this earlier.

“Do you know what time it is?”

“Yep,” she smiled as she sat the cup on the dresser. “Time for you to get up.”

Reaching for my hand she rolled her eyes as I moved it out her reach. “We’ll leave in an hour.”

Ignoring me she grabbed my hand before pulling on it.

“Come on.”

“Mom, I already told you not to call me when I’m at work alright? I’ll call you later…no-” Looking up I trailed off as I took in Shannon. “I’ll call you later. Hanging up I dropped my phone to my desk.

“Hi,” she smiled as she remained where she was.

“Hey, what are you doing here?”

Holding up a bag she smiled, “you said you couldn’t make it to lunch so…”

Glancing at my watch I couldn’t help but smile as she stepped inside the room.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, just my mom but its fine.”

“Okay,” smiling she stood on her toes to kiss me before taking my hand and pulling me towards the door.

“So, am I going to witness the awkward lunchtime conversations?” She asked as she headed towards the elevator

“Not exactly,” catching her hand I pulled her towards the stairwell.

“Why not? Where are we going?” She asked as I led her up the steps.

Replying, “upstairs,” I took the bag from her.

“You know, I may not work here but I’m pretty sure were not supposed to be here.”

Following her gaze to the sign I rolled my eyes before pushing the door open.

Leading her out onto the roof I carefully placed a stone between the door before leading her across it.

“We’re definitely not supposed to be up here,” she corrected as I took off my jacket.

“Afraid I might get you in trouble?”

Taking in my smile she rolled her eyes before watching me take a seat.

“More like the other way around..”

“Don’t worry about it,”

Smiling she looked around.

“So was this the only reason you came to see me?”

“No,” she laughed. “I actually wanted to see if you were doing anything tonight.”

“Depends…”

“Tonight’s Khloe’s birthday party.”

“Then I’m not doing anything.”

“Good,” she smiled. “Can you do me a favor?” She asked as I opened the bag.

“Yeah?”

“Help me out with my sister tonight,” she smiled as she sat on my lap.

“Okay…but why?”

“Because,” she sighed as she wrapped her arms around my neck. “She’s the kind of person who’s all about time and if Chris isn’t there in the first couple of minutes she’ll start worrying about it.”

“So, distract her?”

Nodding she smiled as I leaned in to kiss her, “thank you,” she giggled as she moved out of my reach.

“You missed the turn!”

Continuing straight I glanced over at Tay who was looking out the window. “No I didn’t.”

“If we’re late…”

“We’re not gonna be late,” I assured her for what had to be the hundredth time.

Shooting me an irritated look she kept the bag in the middle of her lap before staring out the windshield.

“You know, for someone who’s never been to L.A. you’re not trying to get a good look at anything.”

“Maybe because I don’t want to be late,” she sighed.

“Babe we left the hotel almost an hour early-“

“And we’re still not there.”

Shaking my head I couldn’t help but smile as I pulled into the parking lot.

“You should start trusting me more,”

Rolling her eyes she got out before shutting the door.

Getting out I met her at the front of the car stopping her from moving away me.

“Tay come on, your not seriously mad at me.”

Not changing her expression she replied, “you know how much I hate being late Dominic.”

“We’re not even late though, can you even be late for a party-“

“You almost made us miss the plane.”

“Yeah, but we didn’t so what’s the problem?”

Letting me take her face in my hands she didn’t say anything. Instead she smiled as I kissed her forehead.

Gently shoving me away she didn’t object as I took her hand in mine before leading her across the street.

There was already a pretty good amount of people at the party but I wouldn’t call us late.

One day I’m taking a shower and Tay nearly breaks the door yelling about a party. Now we’re here for Khloe’s party and Greyson’s back home with Joyce.

I wasn’t quite sure but I don’t think she even knows we’re coming because Hanna told us about it.

Even though there were a lot of people it didn’t take long to find her.

She standing with some guy I didn’t recognize who was making her laugh as he showed her something on his phone.

Stepping out the elevator I balanced the drinks in one hand my food in the other.

I had a session with Joe at the studio today and wasn’t really feeling it but I had already paid for the time.

Knocking on the door I waited until the door was pulled open.

“Hey handsome,” Robyn smiled as she took one of the drinks from me, “is this for me?”

“No, Joe.” I replied as I pushed the door shut with my back. “You almost done?”

Sitting the bag down I took my seat as Chris glanced over his shoulder at me. “Hey man.”

Glancing at my watch I opened my bag. “I thought you were gone.”

“Why?”

“I went to the apartment and you weren’t there,”

“I’ve been here,” he replied as if it were obvious.

“I meant to L.A.” I added as I pulled out my fries.

“There’s the birthday girl!”

I was nearly knocked over as Hanna wrapped her arms around me.

“Hey-when did you get here?”

“Yesterday night,” she laughed as she stepped back.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

“I wanted it to be a surprise,” she smiled as she held up a box.

I couldn’t help but smile as she pulled me into another hug.

“It’s so good to see you,” she smiled as I got a good look at her.

Her hair seemed longer, but that was maybe because she had straightened it.

The dark green dress was perfect in the sense that only she could pull it off.

“I have so many-“

“Hey beautiful!” Tyler cut me off as he squeezed his way between us before wrapping his arms around me.

“Get off-“

Ignoring me he tightened his grip around my waist before kissing my neck.

Waiting until he let me go I shoved my hair out of my face. “What are you doing here?”

But I got my answer as he turned to kiss Hanna.

“I’ll let you two catch up,” he grinned as he let her go.

Watching him disappear through the crowd I glanced back at Hanna.

“Han, what are-“

“Not now, okay?” Offer me a weak smile she held her gift out towards me. “It’s your birthday which means no worries for you.”

Taking it from her I watched her glance around the room. “Where’s Chris?”

That was a question I had asked myself a couple but had almost forgotten about it because of everything that was going on.

Shay had me pretty busy tonight and if she wasn’t with me she made sure Jake was. It wasn’t until now I realized why.

“He said he’d be here,” was all I could say as I followed her to the table where the rest of the gifts sat.

“Then he will be,” she smiled as she took a seat. ”He wouldn’t miss it.”

“Khloe?”

Following her gaze over my shoulder I shot her a confused look before sitting my drink down.

Turning around I watched as David offered me a smile

“Hi,” she smiled as she took me in.

When I ran into Shannon on my way in all she said was, “don’t mention Chris.”

I didn’t understand what she meant because looking at her now, laughing and smiling you couldn’t even tell if something was wrong.

“I know it’s your birthday so um…I got you something.”

Taking a step towards her I held out the gift for her.

“David, you didn’t have to get me anything.” She replied as she took it from me.

“I wanted to,” I admitted as I watched her turn it over in her hands. “Besides, it’s a good book.”

“A book?”

“Yeah, you can never have too many of them right?”

Nodding she ran her hand over the paper, “am I supposed to return it when I’m done?”

Shaking my head I dug my hands in my pocket as she looked up at me.

“You should learn to relax sometimes.” she sighed as she sat her gift down. “Who dresses like this to a party?”

Not moving out of her reach I watched as she concentrated on undoing my tie.

“It’s a habit,” I admitted as she draped it over her shoulders.

Rolling her eyes she smiled taking me back a couple of months ago when she was standing this close to me.

“Are you going to stay?” She asked as she looked up at me.

“I don’t think I can,” glancing around the room I sighed, “I gotta head home. Pick up Jamie.”

“Okay,” she smiled. “Tell him I said hi.”

“I will,” watching her glance over her shoulder at a burst of laughter in the distance I pushed away the urge to tell her that she looked beautiful as she faced me. “I’ll make it up to you some other time.”

“Yeah,” slipping the tie around my neck she faintly smiled “you still owe me dinner anyway.”

Quickly hugging her I took a step back “try and have fun alright,”

Collapsing on the sofa I listened as the phone rang.

It rang seven times before it was picked up an music blasted from the other end.

Then came the laugh that I could recognize anywhere.

“I’m not doing that,” she laughed before talking into the phone. “Hello?”

Clearing my throat I sat up, “hey, it’s me.”

“Hold on.” Waiting a couple of seconds I listened until the music got lower and a door shut. “Okay.”

“I was calling to say Happy Birthday.”

Replying with “thank you,” she didn’t say anything else forcing me to.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t make it, I’ve been pretty busy with everything.”

“I figured that since you didn’t return my call,” she said hitting me with guilt.

“I know…Just tell your dad I’ll pay him back for the ticket-“

“If that’s all your worried about right now we have nothing else to talk about.”

“Khloe, wait-“

Before I could even get another word out the line went dead.

I'm so mad at Chris right now. Khloe is such a good girl she's not even thinking about other guys where she is. He needs to put a distance between him and Robyn. Khloe doesn't even know about her so it makes it a lot worse

all of this is true

Everybody is sketch! Robyn and Marielle. Khloe is so clueless it's sad.

“Where is it?” Glancing over at her I watched as she stared out the window.

“Right there.”

Following the direction she pointed I turned into the parking lot before stopping.

Looking over at me she smiled, “thanks for the ride.”

“No problem.”

Expecting her to get out I glanced back over at her but she hadn’t moved yet.

“I’ll wait until you get in to make sure everything’s alright.”

“Okay,” giving me one last smile she unfastened her seatbelt before getting out and heading across the lot.

Locking the door I let out a deep breath.

I didn’t even know why I was driving Robyn’s ass around anyway.

She was Trey’s girl, or whatever it was they were.

All I know is I shouldn’t even be the one here with her.

Watching her duck into the car I waited for a second but she didn’t cut it on.

A couple of seconds of later she got out before starting back towards mine.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as I rolled down the window.

“It’s not starting,” she sighed “and I have to go to work.”

Unfastening my seatbelt I cut the engine. “I’ll check it out.”

I didn’t even have time for this.

Stopping at the front door I concentrated on finding the right key on my ring of a hundred keys.

The sound of a bouncing ball echoed through the stairwell as James dribbled it across the floor.

“Jamie chill out for a second.”

Glancing over my shoulder I watched him catch the ball before walking towards me.

“Why don’t you just ring the doorbell?” he asked as my keys dropped to the floor.

Bending down to pick them up I let out a deep breath.

I hadn’t even thought of that but I wasn’t going to admit that to him.

“Because…”

He kept his gaze on me as though he expected my answer so I reached over and rang the doorbell.

A couple of seconds later the locked turned before the door was pulled open.

“Mommy!”

“Hi-” Emma was nearly knocked over as Jamie wrapped his arms around her legs. “How are you doing?”

“Jamie lets move it inside.”

Handing me his ball he took her hand before pulling her inside towards the sofa.

Shutting the door behind me I sat the ball in the corner before looking around.

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to see her with me having to stay extra hours at work this week.

There were boxes stacked under the window but I couldn’t tell what was in them.

”..I have a game this week.”

“When is it?”

Collapsing on the sofa across from them I watched as Jamie scrunched up his face for a couple of seconds.

“Two days.”

“Are you nervous?”

Laughing “No,” he rested his head against her as she ruffled his hair.

“You need a haircut,” she noted before glancing up at me.

She looked good but tired.

“Jamie, why don’t you let me and your mom talk alone for a minute.”

Looking up at me he sighed, “do I have too?”

“Yes, it’ll only take a couple of minutes.”

Getting up he hopped off the chair before disappearing down the hall.

“Are you okay?”

Taking in my question she nodded before tucking her legs under her.

“Are you?” She asked as she rested her head against the pillow closest to her.

“Mostly…”

“What’s that mean?”

I wasn’t a hundred percent if I should even tell her right now because I hadn’t finished talking to Marielle yet.

“You know how I was working this summer?” Watching her nod I added, “I met someone at my job and we started spending a lot of time together.”

For a second she didn’t say anything then she asked, “why are you telling me this?”

“Because she showed up this morning telling me she’s pregnant.”

Watching her face I took in her expression even though it only lasted for a brief second.

“What are you going to do about it?” She asked quietly as she closed her eyes.

“I don’t know.” I admitted.

Shutting the front door I took in the strong smell of smoke before noticing the numerous pairs of shoes strewn across the floor.

Letting out a deep breath I bent down and neatly lined them up against the wall before turning the corner into the kitchen.

It was trashed, food and chip containers left open. Empty bottles of beer were everywhere.

“Tyler?”

Dropping my books on the counter I went into the living room to find him plus four other guys sprawled out on the sofas.

“Hey babe,” he grinned as he sat his drink down on the table.

“Ty, it’s your turn.”

Taking the remote he directed his attention to the television screen.

Rolling my eyes I crossed the room and headed towards the in-table.

Stepping over one of the guy’s leg I began clearing off the table.

Glass shattered against it as I stood up straight.

“Don’t touch me.”

The moment I had turn to glare at him he held his hands up innocently.

“Tyl-“

“Come on Lewis,” Tyler sighed as he glanced over at him.

Keeping the stupid grin on his face Lewis laughed, “she’s the one who put her ass in my face man.”

Dropping the rest of the trash in my hands onto his lap I stepped over him before starting down the hall.

I heard Tyler let out a deep breath before his footsteps followed.

“What’s wrong?” He sighed as he followed me into the bedroom.

“I don’t want them here.”

“Come on Han, he was playing.”

“I don’t want them here.” I repeated as he rolled his eyes. “I’m serious, get them out of here.”

“We’re in the middle of something-“

“I swear sometimes-“

Just as I attempted to cross the room he caught my arm pulling me back into place.

“What?” He said tightening his grip as I tried to pull away from it. “Go ahead and finish what you were gonna say.”

Using my free hand to push against his chest I winced as he grabbed my shoulder before pressing me against the door.

“What were you gonna say?” He asked

Replying “nothing,” I felt my eyes begin to burn along with my shoulder from the pressure he applied to it.

“Good,” he glared. “I’m going back, straighten yourself up then come back and clean up the mess you made.”

Letting me go he disappeared around the corner.

“So..”

“What?” Khloe shot me a confused look as she took a sip from her drink.

“Isn’t this better than sitting at home.”

Rolling her eyes she let out a dramatic sigh, “sure.”

“I know, so since I’m single I think it’s time I got back out there.”

“With who?”

Shrugging “I don’t know,” I glanced around the room. “Anyone.”

“Anyone’s better than Tyler,” she laughed.

“Exactly, do you know anyone who’s single-“

“Robert.”

“Who?”

Nodding towards the door she waited until I followed her gaze.

The guy she had pointed out was outside in the parking lot climbing off of his motorcycle.

I couldn’t make out his face because he still had his helmet on.

“He’s so cute,” she continued as we watched him come inside.

“If we’re going with your definition of cute-“

“Shut up,” getting up she crossed the room towards him as he pulled his helmet off.

Watching him hug her I waited a couple of seconds before he followed her towards the table where we sat.

Opening the studio door I held it open for Chris.

“Rule number one,” I smiled as I crossed the room “no cellphones.”

Looking over at me he watched as I held up the basket in my hands.

He didn’t move though, instead he was looking around letting his eyes take in everything.

Placing my phone inside it I crossed the room before stopping in front of him.

“Chris?”

Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his phone before handing it to me.

Shutting it off I put it inside before setting the basket down.

“You know how to work all this stuff?” He asked as I took off my jacket.

“Most of it,” I admitted as I dropped my bag into a chair. “Joe does the rest.”

The door opened as Joe stepped inside.

“Ready?” He asked as I nodded.

“Aren’t I always,” stepping around him I nodded towards Chris. “Show him the ropes?”

“Hey dad,”

Shutting the door behind him I watched my mom drop her bag on one of the chairs.

“You could’ve at least cleaned up before we came,” she sighed as she looked around.

“Bathroom?” My dad asked as I pulled out my phone.

“First door on the left,” I replied as I headed towards the sliding doors.

Opening them I stepped outside the cold air sending a shiver down my spine.

Resting against the balcony I shoved my hair out of my face as the wind blew it.

Clicking on Chris’ name I waited a second before it went straight to voice mail.

I debated on just hanging up but decided against it as the beep filled the air.

“Chris, hey…um. I was calling to say hey and to see how things were going for you.”

“Khloe?”

Glancing over my shoulder I watched as my mom stopped in the door way.

Ignoring her I sighed, “just call me when you can.”

Hanging up I headed inside.

“Who was that?” She asked as I shut and locked the sliding door.

Replying “no one” I pulled my hair into a bun before sitting on the sofa.

“David? Chris?”

“No one-why would you think it’s David?”

Shrugging she sat down. “How often do you guys talk?”

“When I see him at school.”

“Have you met his son yet?”

Nodding I watched her type on her phone.

“What about his mother?”

“Yeah.”

“What’s she like?”

“Pretty…and British.”

Not asking anything else she finished typing before dropping it into her purse.

“Why?”

“Just curious,” she smiled as my dad came back into the room.
