Rekindled Fire
Kelly’s POV
I looked at Klay again. He moved closer to me and I felt goosebumps when he brushed his nose against my cheek as he whispered… “Your baby bump will show soon. Relax, Kelly. I’ll handle this.”
I swallowed hard and pressed my lips together. When I looked at Pierce again, his eyes were sharp. He grabbed a drink and drank it in one gulp before he looked at me with his angry and cold eyes. I immediately averted my gaze and Lexi, who seemed so surprised, looked at Klay.
“You mean…you two really are a couple? It’s…yours, I suppose,” Lexi chuckled, obviously nervous.
Klay just stood silently beside me. I watched Pierce as he turned his back without a word and walked away. Lexi immediately followed him.
“Why did you do that?” I asked Klay after we were left alone.
He looked into my eyes. “Would you rather get caught later?”
“Still!” I growled at him. “You should’ve discussed your plans with me firsthand. How could you decide on your own?”
“You don’t wanna talk to me.”
“What?” My forehead creased.
He just stared at me before he grabbed a drink and drank it straight. I took a deep sigh and shook my head.
“I’ll just go to the restroom.”
“I’ll go with you-”
“I can go alone, Klay.”
He stared at my face before he sighed and nodded. I turned my back on him. and started walking away. I don’t like what he did Although he has a good reason, he crossed the line again. If I were to choose, I’d deny what he said immediately in front of Pierce but I know if I do that, I’d look pathetic in front of them.
I was about to enter the restroom to retouch when someone grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me to an empty room. I gasped as I smelled the familiar scent of a man who dragged me. I heard the click before he pushed my back. against the closed door, keeping me in place.
“What the fck did you do, Kelly?”
I laughed sarcastically. Two months and this is how he greets me? I can’t believe him. I still feel the anger for what he did and what he didn’t do. While t was suffering on my own, he was enjoying his moment with his first love…on. the bed where I used to sleep. How shamelesst
“Is that how you greet me, Pierce?”
He clenched his jaws as his eyes remained on me, sharp and cold. “Are you really in a relationship with Klay Carver, huh?”
“What is it to you?” I fired back coldly.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth. “Of all people, why him? And really? You’re already pregnant with another man? How could you?”
