“Not really.”
“You don’t care?”
“I do care. I care about my son who’s growin’ inside of you. I care about you, Yenni.” His words burn straight into my chest and right through my heart.
“What?”
“I told you before; I love you. Why do you need me to keep repeatin’ it? If that’s what you need, I’ll keep sayin’ it.” Does he really love me? I don’t consider it love when he tricks me into having a baby with him.
“I don’t even know what to say,” I tell him as we walk back to my car. I pull the keys from my pocket, and he quickly takes them. I look around for his bike, but I don’t see it. He must have gotten dropped off here.
He starts to drive, and I watch the trees go by. That’s when I notice we’re not heading back toward the clubhouse. I glance over at him, but he seems intent on what he’s doing. I’m sure this is some trick he has up his sleeve. It wouldn’t surprise me at this point.
I blow out a breath of frustration and rest my head against the cool glass as he drives. I don’t pay much attention to anything until we pull into a driveway. Cage doesn’t say a word as he climbs out and comes around to open my door, pulling me out next to him.
“What the hell is this?” I ask, nodding toward the house. I don’t want to meet anyone in his family. Hell, I don’t even like him that much right now.
“Do you have to bitch about everything? Just come on,” he demands. He walks in front of me and pulls a set of keys from his pocket, unlocking the door before ushering me inside.
There’s nothing in here. It’s completely empty. No furniture, no pictures or decorations.
“An empty house. Is this where you kill me?” I tease as I look over my shoulder at him. He shakes his head, looking off for some reason. I turn around fully and stare at him, wondering what the hell is going through his head right now.
“What is it?”
“Nothin’.”
“You’re thinking something,” I tell him.
“This is it, Yenni. This is where we’re raisin’ our baby.”
“What?”
“This house is ours.”
“No.”
“Yeah. We’re gonna raise the baby here. I don’t want him livin’ at the clubhouse full-time. It’s not the place for a baby. It was fine for me and you but not our baby.” His words are like a punch to the stomach. I didn’t think he even cared that much. And now this? He bought us a house?
I turn and look around the bare living room in shock.
“You can pick whatever you want in here,” he says. “Come on.” He walks past me, grabs my hand, and leads me down the hall. He shoves open one of the doors and ushers me inside. This room has furniture. There’s a bed, dressers, and nightstands. It’s … nice.
“This is our room. I bought that little bed in case you didn’t want the baby to be by himself,” he says, nodding toward the little bassinet next to the bed. My heart kicks up a notch. He did all this?
“I …”
“Don’t say anything. Come here,” he says, leading me to the other room. When he opens that door, my heart leaps in my chest. He did this.
The whole room is decorated in neutral colors. There’s a crib, dresser, and even a rocking chair. Tears spring to my eyes before running down my cheeks. He really has thought this over. I can’t believe that he did this.
“You did this?” Did he do this, or did one of the girls do this? It wouldn’t surprise me if he had one of them helping him.
“I did it. I wanted everything to be ready,” he tells me. I spin around, wanting to scream at him, but after this, how can I? He wasn’t lying when he said he wanted a baby. He planned this all out.
“I don’t know what to say to you,” I tell him.
“You can be mad, Yenni. I get it. I was a selfish fuck. It is what it is, and nothin’ is changin’. I will still be the same selfish fuck as before, but I needed you to know I want this with you.” His words mean more to me than he could know. I step into his space and wrap my arms around his neck before he finally gives in and hugs me back. He holds me while I sob, unsure of what I’m doing. This shouldn’t be okay, but it feels like it is.
