“I’d rather drink Katie’s cum than touch that limp dick.” Everyone groans while Katie buries her face in her hands.

“I can vouch, her cum is delicious,” I taunt, and before I can say more, Katie shoves back from the table forcing both Saint and I to move backward. Fire burns in the depths of her eyes and I fucking love it. She thought just because we fucked that it would erase the fact she ran from us.

“You stand here and speak about me like I’m nothing but a common whore. Let’s get one thing straight here, shall we, boys?” Saint and I both stand tall and keep our emotionless masks in place. “You want to be pissed at me for leaving? Fine. But let’s be honest, shall we? You both lost your shit the moment you found out I was pregnant. When you thought I lost the baby, neither of you came over and held me as I mourned the loss ofourchild.” Her voice is rising as her anger begins to peak. “I left because—fuck you both, you don’t get to judge me! Go back and live your lives.” She looks at me and shakes her head. “You need to stop hiding from who you really are and admit to him that this thing between us worked so well because you don’t just love me, you love him too!”

My eyes widen. She turns to Saint next and pins him with a look of disapproval. “And you, stop fucking every cunt that walks past you because no matter how many sluts you bury your cock in, it won’t change the fact that you have fallen in love with your best friend! Both of you grow the fuck up and stay the fuck out of my life before you ruin everything!” she screams, garnering the attention of everyone else in the restaurant. Snatching her purse from the back of the chair, she stalks out of the restaurant leaving us here to stare after her.

“I should go. Thank you for dinner,” Nathan says as he attempts to go after Katie, but before he can pass us, Saint snaps his arm stopping him. “Move your fucking arm,” Nathan snarls.

“What the fuck did she mean when she saidwe thought she lost the baby?” My brows jump to my hairline. I didn’t catch that but I’m fucking glad Saint did. Nathan tries to keep his composure but the fact he can’t look either of us in the eyes is a tell.

“Nothing. She lost the baby and that’s the end of it, now move.” Saint drops his arm allowing Nathan to race out of the restaurant. I move to stand in front of him, his gaze boring into mine and I can tell we’re both thinking the same thing.

“She lied,” he whispers low enough for only me to hear.

“She didn’t lose the baby,” I answer and he nods.

“We were right, that was milk that squirted out the other night.” I nod my head. We thought that was just something common that happened to women after being pregnant but apparently, you only get milk after giving birth so our suspicions were right. “Where the fuck is our baby, Crue?” I grit my teeth and dart my gaze toward the door ready to go after her and demand answers. “We need to do some recon, turns out she may actually really be our baby momma.” His words may be meant to reassure me but they don’t. Gripping his arm, I lead him away from the others to a corner in the back of the restaurant. The moment we are out of sight of the others, Saint drops his mask. I see the worry and betrayal clear as day on his face.

“If she didn’t lose the baby, why did she leave?” I push.

Saint shakes his head and furrows his brows. “I don’t know, but Nathan was there and Leah even said she was on Facetime with him and saw the blood. If she didn’t lose the baby, how the fuck did she fake that and why?” We both get lost in our thoughts for a minute until Corvin, Darius and Beck come over. They each look us over trying to gauge our mood, but Saint and I are pros at deflecting and using humor to cover our discomfort.

“What happened back there?” Corv asks. I cut a quick glance to Saint to see he has a fake smile plastered on his face.

“Nothing. Crue just wanted me to play with his cock before dinner and I didn’t think you guys would like your girls seeing he’s twice your size.” Darius snorts, Beck rolls his eyes but Corv sees through his bullshit.

“Deflect all you like, asshole, but we know you both better than you think. What the fuck is happening?” Beck pushes, and I see Saint’s mask starting to slip. This new turn of events is fucking with him.

“We think Katie lied about losing the baby,” I answer for him. The three of them look like a pack of circus clowns with their mouths open and eyes wide. They look how I feel.

“Uh… what?” Corv pushes out, confusion clear on his face.

“Why the hell would you think that? Leah said she lost the baby and was a mess, what would she get out of faking that shit and if she did, where the fuck is the baby?” Darius questions. I’ll admit when he says it like that, it does sound far-fetched but I can’t shake the feeling that we’re right.

“We just have a hunch,” Saint says.

“I’m not being a dick, but why do you both care?” I scowl at Beckett. “You both never wanted kids and have made that clear since we were in high school. When you found out she was pregnant neither of you were… happy.” What he says is true but we didn’t get a chance to even process the idea of having a kid or have time to come to terms with the idea of having a baby before she lost it. We were robbed of that moment, of thinking or even considering the idea of becoming a dad because she waited weeks to tell us the truth. She hid that shit from us and blamed the miscarriage on Saint and me.

“I didn’t want kids—-I mean, I don’t want them but…”

Saint trails off so I cut in and finish his sentence. “The idea of having a kid with her wasn’t as bad as we thought. We weren’t fucking angry she was pregnant, we were pissed she never told us and hid it from us for weeks. Then before we got the chance to wrap our heads around the idea… she lost the baby.” Corvin whistles between his teeth and shakes his head.

“My dudes, you need to tread carefully with this one. If you both go in guns blazing and accuse her of lying about losing the baby only for it to be the truth, she is going to be pissed and fucking hurt. It will bring up emotions I’m sure she has tried to work past, so just be careful on how you approach this.”

He’s right. I plan to fly home tomorrow and start doing some digging of my own. The moment we get the proof we need, we’ll be back to confront our deceitful little southern belle.

Katie

I spent the rest of the night fuming and plotting ways I could murder those dumbasses my heart thinks is okay to love! I can’t believe they did that shit. Nathan, being the amazing friend he is, brought his mattress into the living room and we spent the remainder of the night watching movies until we fell asleep.

Waking up the next morning, I was hesitant to go to work thinking they would ambush me or the others would, but it turns out, they all really did fly home. I felt lighter after the confirmation from Leah. I can’t have them here and have my plans derailed. I need to work on Jackson and getting his phone cloned, that fuckers firewall is impenetrable. Something is off with that though. I’ve never encountered a firewall that I can’t bust through so it tells me he has outside help.

I pull my phone out and bring up my message thread with Jackson.

Hey, so I was thinking we need a redo of our date….

I start tapping my nails on the counter as I wait for his reply, the guy is odd that’s for sure. I had to practically throw myself at him in order to get him to agree to the first date. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’m God’s gift to men but I also know I’m not ugly so I have no idea what his problem is. While I wait for his reply, I bring up my social media app that I have under a fake name, and just as I’m about to click on Saint’s profile, I close the app.
