Chapter 29: (Unedited)
Reese walked into mom’s bedroom, with worries eyes. As he looked at me, calmness washed over him, but his eyes still held worry.
“what’s the matter?” I questioned.
“nothing, it’s just I thought I felt something wrong with the pregnancy. I don’t know what it is, but it doesn’t want to go away.” he said making me freeze.
“y-Youre probably imaging things. Nothing happened, as you can see I’m alive and well.” I said. He couldn’t possibly know, right?
“yeah, you’re probably right. Hey, do you wanna move to my house?” he questioned. My eyes widened at his suggestion.
“As in, Me and you, alone in our own home?” I questioned as he nodded. I looked towards mom who gave a slight nod. “I guess, yeah.” I said with a small smile.
“Okay then.” a wide grind took over his face. “We'll move today.” he said as I nodded. He walked out leaning mom and I.
“What happened that you haven’t told Reese?” she questioned. I let my eyes fall in guilt.
“I may or may not have fell from a bar stool while trying to reach for chocolate.” I said. Mom gasped and looked at me in shock.
“Colleen, you need to tell him, what If something happened to the baby? What if you made your pregnancy more riskier?” she interrogated.
“Mom I’m fine the baby is moving fine, I can feel it. I know I’m fine and
Reese doesn’t have to know, it would crush him to know I fell, so please mom, don’t tell him.” I pleaded.
“Colleen this is going to be your downfall, if soon something comes up and the doctor notices something wrong, he is going to find out, do tell him. The base of a relationship is trust, if you base it on dishonesty and deception you will break anything and everything you guys have.” she said. I nodded.
“I Will tell him but not now.” I promised. I will, it’s just a matter of time.
“Very well then, go pack you’re leaving soon.“mom said as she shooed Mr out of her room, a small chuckle left my lips as I walked out. I walked into my bedroom, packing bag after bag, shoe after shoe.
Soon I was done and Reese had knocked on the door to see if I was ready. I nodded as he grabbed my bags. I bid farewell to mum one more time and Daniel was nowhere in sight so I could say bye.
Reese’s car was parked outside the door. He put my bags into the back and he helped me enter he car, soon we were driving down the tarred road. The car was silent as we sat not uttering a word.
His words seemed to take a toll on her as her eyes filled with tears. She looked almost upset. Did she love Reese so much that even his words affected her? I turned to her as she looked at me in anger.
“See! Because of you my brother is now angry at me. I hate you so much! Lillian was right, your kind of people are the worst, you use people’s money and power and then you leave them and I will hate you forever. And let me take an oath now, if you even dare to hurt my big brother, I will personally kill you. Without a doubt.” she said as tears rolled out if her eyes. She looked at me once more before walking away.
Reese came back in and looked at me with sorry Hidden in them. “Did she apologize? If she said something tell me now. I don’t know what has gotten into her.” he said.
“It’s okay Reese, she apologized, but she is really overprotective of you so don’t get mad at her.” I reasoned. He nodded as a wife grin overcame his face.
“Let’s go up to our room, yeah?” he asked a smile took over my face.
“Sure.”
