Quickly rushing to her aid, Grayson helped her back down to the sofa, “There is no Tianna and me! There never was, and if you would just listen to me, then you would know that too,” He replied as he returned to his seat beside her on the sofa.
Looking at him, “Would you listen to me if you walked in here and found me kissing my ex-boyfriend?” Briella asked as her heart ached. Just looking at him and being so close to him reminded her of the great times they spent together.
Taking a deep breath, “I know seeing that hurt you a lot, but you must believe me when I say that she kissed me and we are not together. Tianna wanted to see if we could give it another chance and I turned it down. When she went to leave, I hugged her and she kissed me and before I could react, you walked in. It was nothing more than that. I would never hurt you like that ever,” he pleaded as he reached for her hand again.
As he pleaded his case, she replayed the scene in his office in her mind. If she hadn’t jumped to conclusions, she would have noticed his hands were at his side and he wasn’t kissing her back.
Taking a deep breath, “Grayson, seeing you with your ex hurt me, but I’m sorry I didn’t give you a chance to explain,” She stated as looked down at their hands.
“You have nothing to apologize for! I need you to understand that I love you with everything in me and I will never hurt. I’m sorry you had to go through all this,” Grayson exclaimed before kissing the back of her hand.
Slowly sitting up in her seat, “I accept your apology and I love you too.” She confessed as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Wiping her cheek with his thumb, “Thank you for being such an amazing woman. Now, tell me about the baby,” Grayson suggested as a smile lit up his face.
Thinking about their baby, brought a smile to her face.
“There isn’t much to tell! I took a few tests at Noelle’s the day I walked into your office after being nauseated and they all came back positive. Our mothers were there with us for girls' night and they convinced me to call my doctor and schedule a few tests. Dr. West confirmed that I’m 2 months pregnant,” Brielle stated as she reached for the bottle of water that her mother had handed her earlier.
“I’m sorry you had to go through all that alone! I will make it up to you and I promise not to miss any more appointments,” he said as he put his arm around her and pulled her into his arms.
Being wrapped in his strong arms made all her worries disappear and she felt safe. Briella never wanted that moment to end.
Out of the blue, she heard him chuckle, causing her to lean back and look at him with a frown, “What’s so funny?” she asked.
“My mom has been snapping at me for days now and telling me to get my stuff together and that she didn’t raise me to treat women that way. Then she told me that I was going to miss out on a true blessing,” Grayson said as he pulled her back into his arms.
“That’s a whole lot better than what she had planned! She was going to hit you upside your head like she used to do when you were kids,” Briella joked causing Grayson to rub his head.
“I still have a knot on my head from the time I pulled a prank on Gage and he got hurt. My mom wore my butt and head out and I couldn’t sit down for a week. What hurt me most was that my little brother got hurt,” Grayson confessed.
“That is why I know that you will be a great dad to our child,” Briella stated as she looked up at him smiling.
“That means a lot coming from you,” He replied before kissing her softly on her lips.
The moment his lips touched her, Briella knew Grayson was the man for her. The fact that he was also the father of her unborn child eased some of the nervousness she was feeling uneasy about because she knew that he would be with her throughout the whole process.
All too soon, he pulled back and smiled at her, “I think we better go celebrate with our families before they come barging through that door,” Grayson joked.
Chuckling, “I think you are right! Can you help me up?” she asked as she smiled at him.
“Your wish is my command,” he exclaimed before he stood up and extended his hand out to her.
Standing toe to toe, Briella looked up and smiled, “I think you owe me a kiss,” then she pointed up at the mistletoe.
Smiling, “As I said before, your wish is my command,” Grayson replied before he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
