“Listen…I can’t talk right now. Yeah, I, for sure, need to be at that next appointment. The next few days are going to be busy for me. Unless you have an emergency, maybe you can lay off the phone calls for a few days okay?”
“Oh yeah, sure. No problem, sweetheart. I’ll talk to you in a few days. ”
“Yep, and Rebecca, let’s just stick with Jeff, okay?”
I hung up with Rebecca and opened the door for Ari to get into Gunner’s truck. She quickly fell asleep and slept the rest of the way home. I never took my eyes off of her. Something wasn’t right, and I needed to find out what the hell was going on. I had the strangest feeling that she was hiding something from me.
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
JOSH
I just needed to get Heather back to her apartment and out of that shirt, so I didn’t have the urge to keep looking at her damn chest.
“Heather, can I ask you one question?”
She let out a long drawn-out sigh. “Yes. ”
“Why the hell are you dressed like that? It’s so not you!” I said with a laugh.
“Why are you laughing? You don’t think I have the body to dress a little sexy? Well Bruce certainly thought I had a nice body. He couldn’t keep his eyes off my chest even though I’m pretty sure he’s gay. ”
I looked over at her as I laughed my ass off. God, I love this girl.
Whoa…what the hell?
“I’m glad to see I can amuse you, Josh. Really, I am. It’s a long story that I would rather not get into if you don’t mind. I just want to get home and get my boobs off display. ”
I glanced at Heather as she looked at me.
“Josh, are you okay? You’re white as a ghost. Listen, I’m not mad at you or anything. Ari wanted me to get information on Rebecca’s due date. She said this guy was a breast guy and that I had the best breasts out of all of us. I mean, it was such a stupid idea. The only reason why I went along with it is because Ari’s pregnant, and I feel bad for her. ”
Wait…what?
I pulled into a gas station and threw the truck in park. I needed air.
Heather jumped out of truck and came aroun
d to where I was standing with my head ducked down and my hands on my knees. I felt like I couldn’t get any air in.
“Oh my gosh, Josh. Are you okay?”
The moment her hand rested my back, I felt it the electric shock every time this girl touched me. Oh my god, what the fuck is going on with me? And did she just say Ari is pregnant?!
It took me a few minutes to get my breathing under control. Jesus. This had never happened to me before. I looked up at her, and her eyes caught mine.
I love her.
Holy shit, I love her.
Heather bent down to look at my face. “Josh, you’re really starting to scare me. Please tell me what’s wrong. ”
I did everything I possibly could to not look at her damn chest.
“I need just a second, Princess. Just give me a second. ”
Heather stood up and took a few steps back. Then, she threw her hand over her mouth.
“Holy hell. Oh my god…I just told you about Ari. Is that why you’re freaking out?”
