But boy was she wrong, because immediately she stood her knees wobbled. Leonard caught her immediately and they both laughed.
"I really thought I had it under control" she said, still laughing. "Turns out I don't"
"I'm sure you did" he replied, just hold on to me. They walked slowly outside and to his car, the whole time his hand was wrapped around her waist.
Wendy couldn't wait to get home, take a shower and go straight to bed. She was tipsy and as he drove she closed her eyes.
"Are you falling asleep?" Leonard asked her.
She opened her eyes slowly. "A little bit" she replied. "It's the alcohol taking effect"
"Is everything alright with you? I don't mean to pry, but you seem a little worried... And I know most people just like to drown whatever issues they are having in alcohol. I just hope that isn't what you are doing"
We
"Goodnight Leonard" Wendy said softly, and she felt sorry for the guy. He looked a bit... Embarrassed and she couldn't blame him. Who wouldn't feel that way when Damon was glaring at them like that. And as for Damon, what the hell was he doing in her apartment.She ignored his frowning face and brushed past him into the apartment. She was about to walk to her room even Debbie came out of hers."Oh my God, where the hell have you been?" Debbie asked her, pulling her into her arms to hug her. "We have been calling and texting too. I was getting worried. Why didn't you pick your calls?""I'm sorry honey" Wendy replied. "I went out for some drinks, and I got carried away. Kinda lost track of time and my phone was in my bag. I put it on silent at the office and forgot to turn it back on. I'm sorry I made you worry""It's alright...," Debbie began to say, but she paused, "Wow, did you drink the ent
"It's none of your business who I hang out with with... Or who I let touch me.... I don't know why you are so concerned, you walked away from me, Damon. You made your choice. What do you expect? That I'm just going to sit around and wait for you? You even told me not to come back to you... Called me selfish... Well, I'm being as selfish as I can be. I don't see why it should come as a surprise to you since you already knew I was that sort of woman.... As you said and I quote ... 'totally oblivious to anyone's feelings except mine'. Well, this is me, Damon. Now please leave. I'm tired and I would like to rest "He crossed the room in a few strides and before she knew it, she was trapped between him and her table. She forced herself to stare at him, but she could feel that her legs weren't even steady. Damn. Now those drinks was definitely a bad idea, she thought."Please Damon" she said hating, hating the way she sounded, hating that she sounde
Wendy was well aware of that! As exhausted as she was, she’d never be able to keep up with the demands expected of her when the real work began again.“Have you seen a doctor?” Camille asked her.“No. When do you expect them to send over a contract from Fair marketing media ?” Wendy asked.“Any day now,” Camille said, frowning again as if annoyed that she’d changed the subject. “Once you, Evan and Trevor sign, they’ll want you to be ready to work with them. It would be crushing to your career if you fell off schedule and were unable to work. Or worse, if you go there looking as exhausted as you do.”Thinking about what Camille just said was a nightmare on its own. She had to do something, and if it meant taking medicine for depression, then that’s what she’d do.“Very well,” Wendy said. “I’ll call my physician today.”But due to her doctor’s busy schedule and
His words sent instant terror crashing through her. She closed her eyes, then snapped them open again. She couldn't be pregnant.... for Damon. She couldn't be pregnant now. She wasn't ready for it. As if she didn't have enough stuff going on in her life right now.And for Damon... She couldn't bear the memories of how things had ended between them. She didn't want to face him.She couldn’t go through that again.... And now she'd would have to.... And bring him this news.“Oh, my God, this can’t be possible!” she said, more to herself than him, hands automatically splayed on her belly. What an odd twist of fate. While she had been adamantly telling Damon that she wanted him to leave her alone, she had already been with his child.How would he feel about this?And what about her? How did she feel about this. She wasn't ready for this, but it was her child... Her baby. Her heart lift
She wanted it. And as for Damon, he could be a jerk, but she knew he would make a wonderful father.... If he decided that he wanted to be involved of course.When she had left the doctors office she'd been scared... But at a point she had been ecstatic at the idea of becoming a mother, of holding her tiny baby in her arms. Purposely ridding herself of her child was unthinkable.“Call me if you decide to go through with it” Camille had said. “I need to know what you intend to do as soon as possible.”The rest of the day Wendy's emotions bounced between fear, hope and despair as she remembered her doctor's words the previous day.“You’re definitely pregnant,” he had said.Wendy stared out the window. Those words had changed a lot for her. Made her realize that she had something more important to worry about now than the crap people were saying about her... And her family.. Her
Debbie laughed. "I honestly don't know. I haven't been in such a situation before" she said. "Like you said, this is a big deal. Having a baby changes a person's life. It's going to change your lives""Wow" Wendy said sarcastically, "Thank you for stating the obvious and making it even more scary to think about" she paused. "But he's your brother, and you know him well. Do you think he will be happy about the baby?""I think so. But one think that I'm definitely sure of, is that the both of will make awesome parents"Wendy hoped to God that she was right.------------------------Damon broke the surface of the clear water and levered himself from the terrace pool. After an exhausting day at the office, he’d returned to his house and headed straight for his home gym.But even after a grueling workout, he’d not been able to rid himself of the tension that had tied hi
Certain that was who was paying a surprise visit, Damon turned to the elevator with a forced smile just as the doors opened. The last person he expected to see stared back at him with beautiful huge eyes, her gorgeous reflection caught in the many mirrors.“Wendy? What in the hell are you doing here?” he asked.“We have to talk,” she said, and stepped inside the suite, clutching her bag like she expected him to move forward and take it away from her.A blast of anger and desire erupted within him, both vying for prominence, both confirming he was far from over her.“You should have returned my call instead of coming. I missed yours and when I called back you didn't pick up.” he said.“I thought about it, but then I decided that this was something that needed to be said face-to-face.”He didn’t like her grave tone or the tension carving lines in her face. What did she wan
Well, she didn't need him. She could do this on her own. Lots of people were doing it, why couldn't she? She had gone home and told her father and brothers about it, and while they were all happy about the news, they all wanted to know if Damon was going to take responsibility for the baby, to which she'd assured them that he would, she didn't think it would be a good idea to tell them exactly how it had gone down between her and Damon.Her father had even asked when she and Damon were getting married and he'd been furious when she told him that there wasn't going to be a wedding."What?" He had said,"Do you have any idea how difficult it is to raise a kid alone? I do, because I did it. Is that Damon refusing to marry you, because I swear I and your brothers are going to pay him a visit and it's not going to be a pleasant one"It had taken a while before she could calm him down. Telling him that marriage was the last thing on her mi
