"But what if he doesn't get bored? What if he loves you?"
I look at her and cock my head.
"Loves me?"
That thought never crossed my mind.
How could he love me?
I'm twenty years younger than him. There's no way he loves me.
"You'll never know unless you give him a chance, sweetheart."
I want to believe her, I really do. But I can't shake off the pain. And right now, that's all I can feel.
I glance at the bouquet lying on the table. The white lilies contrast against the dark mahogany. They're beautiful.
He did pick a good bouquet, Maya, you have to give him that.
And damn if he didn't look like a Greek god walking out that door...
No, stop it!
Just because he's got a jawline for days and abs that could double as a washing board, does not mean I should just fall back into his arms.
But then again, maybe my mom is right. Maybe he does love me?
No way. He couldn't possibly...
But he did come find me and he seems to have won over my mom...
Few men get her stamp of approval.
Ugh, why is this so hard?
Maybe I should give him a chance to explain.
"Do you think he's still out there?"
I hate that I'm asking that. I feel so vulnerable.
"There's only one way to find out." She looks over at the door, summoning me out.
Taking a deep breath, I nod. "Okay, okay, I'll go."
As I reach for the door handle, my heart pounds in my chest. Stepping outside into the cool city air, I look around.
No Hunter.
Anywhere.
My heart sinks. Maybe he left already. Maybe he doesn't really care. My eyes dart around the busy streets. I squint, searching for him everywhere. The uncertainty gnaws at me and I feel a shiver run down my spine. I take a few steps forward, debating whether to keep looking or retreat back to the safety of my home.
I'm about to turn back and something catches my eye. His silhouette leaning against a car parked a few houses down the street.
I hesitantly take a step towards him when a swarm of paparazzi emerge from nowhere. My heart races as they surround me, their cameras flashing in my face.
"Maya, is it true you're pregnant?" one of them yells out.
