Take Me With You, chapter 16
I woke the next morning not opening my eyes but stretching and feeling the empty space in the bed beside me. Rolling onto my stomach I squinted one eye open in the morning light to see I was alone in the bedroom. Huh, I thought the first day back together and Billie is already forgetting about me. Just then my eyes opened wide.
"Morning Beautiful," Billie whispered while placing a tray of my favorite breakfast foods across my lap.
"Billie? You didn't have to do all this." I smiled looking astonished at the tray infront of me.
"Yes I did," He said while pouring me orange juice.
"I didn't even know you could cook," I said through a mouthful of blueberry pancakes.
"Uh...I can't...but Mike can!" he smiled.
"Aw, well A for effort." I smiled before feeding him a forkful of pancake.
Later that morning I came downstairs in my PJ's, robe and fuzzy slippers with my hair in a messy bun. Mike and Tre were watching TV and Billie had entered the room just as I had from the kitchen where he was cleaning up after our breakfast in bed.
"Did you like your breakfast in bed princess?" Mike asked his eyes never leaving the re-run episode of baywatch on TV.
"Yes I did, thank you." I said patting his head.
"Good because Billie literally dragged me out of bed at 6 am to make that."
I smiled at Billie while walking over and placing my arms around his neck and pushing him back into the kitchen. I kissed him lightly and smiled wondering why he was being such a perfect boyfriend.
"Bill?" I asked while slowly pulling away from him.
"Yeah babe?" Billie asked while turning to finish putting the dishes away.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Of course." He said not turning around.
"Were you so angry when Adrienne faked the baby because you really wanted to have a baby?" I asked a little scared of what his reaction maybe.
He stopped dead in what he was doing. Putting everything down he finally turned to me.
"Is that what you think? Is that why you think I was with her?" he asked me.
"I just thought..." I trailed off.
"You just thought that I was with her because she was pregnant and I wasn't with you because you weren't." he finished for me.
I didn't say anything, just gave him a guilty look. My next thought was he was going to scream and yell but instead his expression softened and he came towards me slowly.
"Baby, don't ever think that. I was only with her because I wanted the "child" to have a good life. I never thought for one moment that she was better than you for being 'pregnant.'" he explained.
"Okay, but you should know that I don't plan on having children anytime soon I still have a good portion of my life ahead of me before I even think about having kids," I explained back to him.
"I know I know. Of course. What happened or didn't happen with Adrienne was a mistake. I'm not ready to be a father either," he said to me.
I just smiled back at him for feeling the same as me.
"Are we okay?" he asked.
"Of course. I love you," I said before kissing him and going upstairs for a shower.
Little did I know as I walked out of the room Billie was crushed. He had wanted to be a father he had dreamt about it and having Adrienne pregnant, albiet the wrong women but he was excited to be a father. But what could he do I wanted to wait and he had to respect that. He finished putting away the dishes with the sinking feeling in his stomach that he may truly never he a father.
"Morning Beautiful," Billie whispered while placing a tray of my favorite breakfast foods across my lap.
