“Not okay.” I tore out of my clothes and joined her in bed. “I want you to tell me everything that fucker did.”
“And where were you? Did you find a cunt to fuck?”
“Seriously? You think I would cheat on you?” I cuddled her, but she stiffened. Of course, she was pissed at me and probably thinking the worst.
“Just going by what you said when you left meagain.”
“Baby, I didn’t leave you. It was all an act, so Vegas would think he won. I waited over an hour at Apple Andy’s, then came to your house, expecting you to be here. What took you so long?”
“I don’t want to talk about it. Just go to sleep if you insist on staying.”
“Don’t you want me here?”
“Right now, I don’t care what you do. Stay. Go. I don’t care. I just want to sleep.”
Well, fuck. I’d really rubbed her wrong. “Okay, baby. Sleep. We’ll talk in the morning.”
I wrinkled my nose as I tried to get comfortable. She smelled like Vegas, which meant he’d probably been all over her before bringing her home. As long as she didn’t have sex with him, I’d be okay.
How would I sleep tonight?
My mind was going a mile a minute, imagining what she’d done with him. The fact that she stunk like him didn’t help. I’d order her to shower, but with the bad mood she was in, I was sure she’d knock my teeth out.
Just fucking go to sleep. You can question her in the morning.
I closed my eyes, and just as quickly, I opened them when I felt the warmth of the sun on my face. Time sure flew by during sleep.
A yawn took hold of me as I rolled to my side to spoon Ella, but she wasn’t there. Instant irritation exploded in my veins. I checked the time on her bedside clock. It was already after eight, but it felt like I’d just gone to sleep.
Maybe she’s dealing with the boy.
Damn, I couldn’t wait for him to know I was his dad. I had five years to make up for being out of his life. Five painful years to heal and rebuild with Ella. I’d make it up to them, even if it took the rest of my life.
The door slowly opened, and Ella entered. “Oh, you’re awake.”
“Yeah, did you shower?” Of course she had, stupid. Her hair was wet, and she was wearing leggings and a hoodie. Clearly, having sex hadn’t been on her mind. Why I found it odd showed my cockiness in believing fucking me would always be the only thing she’d ever want to do.
“Read the room, Rocky.” She went to her closet and took out sneakers.
“That’s what I’m doing. Gotta say, it’s awfully frigid in here.”
She shrugged as she took out socks from her drawer.
“Is the boy up?”
“Not yet, but he will be soon.” She went to leave.
“Hey, will you wait a minute? What’s the rush?” I jumped out of bed and closed the door before she could leave.
“I was going to make pancakes for Rockson. Thought it might help when we told him you’re his dad.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“I thought so.” She tried to open the door.
“Ella, what’s going on?”
“Nothing. Today’s a big day. I thought you’d be anxious to talk to Rockson.”
