Kelly’s POV
I woke up feeling comfortable while lying on the long couch. A blanket was keeping warm and I could sll a delicious aroma of sothing from the kitchen. I slowly pulled myself up and sat on the couch. I felt the need to pee and when I was about to push myself up, Pierce ca and held my arm, supporting .
I looked at him as he put the blanket on the couch and held my waist carefully. He knew what to do, so he accompanied upstairs and brought to the bathroom inside my room.
He opened the cover of the toilet before he went out of the bathroom. I was watching him as he did that and my baby suddenly kicked. I bit my bottom lip and walked slowly towards the water closet.
“You recognize your dad, hmm,” I whispered as I gently caressed my baby bump.
My due date is approaching fast and my baby bump is really heavy. I always have a hard ti walking around and moving comfortably. However, talking to my baby is really enjoyable.
Pierce knocked twice followed by his voice. “You done?”
I flushed the toilet and glanced at the door. “Yeah.”
Pierce entered and imdiately grabbed my toothbrush. He put toothpaste on it and handed it to . I once confronted him about this, saying I’m not invalid and I can do these things alone but he’s persistent. He said he wants to make sure that I’m safe all the ti regardless if I’m pregnant or not.
That’s when I realized that he must’ve been watching all these ti. While I was with Klay, he must be lurking around, watching everything. So when everything turned upside down, he was there to quickly rescue . Given that he was there when I broke down in the airport even when he should be in a different country.
“I cooked your favorite pasta for breakfast,” Pierce said while we’re walking down the stairs.
That’s what I slled when I woke up?
Pierce helped sit on the chair before he put the plate of pasta in front of . I smiled when I slled the delicious food.
“Thanks!” I said happily and started eating.
He smiled back and started eating as well when my baby kicked again.
I groaned and caressed my baby bump.
“What is it?” Pierce asked worriedly.
Chuckling, I shook my head. “The baby must’ve loved it.”
He smiled widely and pulled himself up. He squatted beside and started caressing my baby bump. “You love pasta? Really?”
“Ow!” I shifted my weight and swallowed hard when she kicked again.
I laughed and looked at Pierce. “She did it again.”
That seed to make him more happy. He continued talking and caressing my baby bump, completely forgetting about breakfast. And while I was watching him talking to our baby, my heart was racing inside my chest.
This is bad. Falling for him again will not do any good to . Although I distanced myself and reminded my heart about the current situation, I think the inevitable will always happen no matter what the circumstances will be.
I avoided him but I still fell. I’m bound to fall in love with him again when I fiercely denied it at first.
“May I know what na you would give her?” Pierce asked, looking up at .
I shrugged my shoulders. “I haven’t thought of one.”
That’s true. I don’t know what to na her. Although there are so many ideas coming in my mind, I feel like none of those would suit her.
Pierce nodded and smiled again. I tilted my head as he continued talking to the baby inside . I feel that she’s enjoying the presence of her dad. She kicked as soon as Pierce touched my stomach. She must’ve felt it.
I’m sorry, baby. Your daddy is committed to another woman and your mommy is afraid of entering a relationship again.
After our breakfast, Pierce cleaned the dishes and invited to decorate our Christmas tree for tomorrow.
I was the one putting up the Christmas lights and I enjoyed it. I even decorated the main door and Pierce was following everything I told him to do.
I wished for him to never co back in my life before because I know that I’d still fall for him again. However, fate brought us together again. Now, I’m helplessly fallen but the fear in my heart is creeping. The pain and everything I’ve been through brought trauma.
Christmas day ca and Pierce happily greeted , handing a wrapped gift. “rry Christmas.”
Because I accepted a part-ti job and working from him, I was able to buy him a gift. Together with the Christmas card, I handed him my gift.
“I have a gift too?” He asked, shocked.
I smirked. “What? You don’t want it?”
“Why won’t I want it?” He was quick to accept the card and the box.
I smiled again as we both sat on the couch, carrying each other’s gifts.
“Right! I have one for the baby too.” He handed another gift. A box of the sa size as his gift for .
“Hmm! I’ll open it once she’s delivered.”
He smirked. “Yeah.”
I started opening my gift from him and my lips parted after seeing a beautiful bracelet. It has a moon in it and was personalized with my na. When I saw the na of the shop it ca from, I laughed and looked at him. I found him looking at too, realizing we bought from the sa shop.
I gave him a gold watch with his na on it. He smiled and took off his old watch and put the one I gave him. He smirked arrogantly while looking at it before he looked at .
“You want to put it on you?” He asked and pointed at the bracelet in my palm.
I nodded and handed it to him. “Yeah...”
Moving closer to him, I extended my left arm and he gently put the bracelet on . When he’s done, he looked at each other and my smile slowly faded after I realized that we’re too close.
My lips parted. The beating of my heart isn’t normal again as he stared back into my eyes.
Swallowing hard, I caught him glancing at my lips. There seems to be a force between us that I found myself closing my eyes when he moved his face closer to mine and claid my lips.
An electrifying sensation ran through my body as he pulled my waist and started moving his lips. He pushed his tongue inside my mouth, exploring the insides of it, playing with my tongue.
His soft kisses beca deep as he kissed more and angled his head to kiss better. I flinched when I felt his hand grab my hand and his fingers intertwined with mine. It intensified the heat between us, bringing us to the highest peak of desire.
