back into the bathroom.
As she tried to shut the door, I ran toward the door and managed to get the big toe of my left foot in the way.
Maya slammed the door against my toe, but I didn’t let it shut.
“Go away, Cole,” she called out. “Please. Just go.”
“Where are you going?” I asked. “You look… beautiful.”
“Yeah, right,” she said. “I see the look in your eyes when you look at me. I know what you’re thinking.”
“Oh yeah? What am I thinking?”
“You look at me and see regret,” Maya said. “You know what? It doesn’t even matter. What are you doing here for real? I thought you were on a date?”
I gritted my teeth. “I wasn’t on a date, Maya. I was out with the guys.”
“I heard a woman’s voice. Don’t lie to me. We’re not together, right? So it doesn’t matter.”
“Maya, just open the door,” I said. “I don’t want to force it open.”
She ripped open the bathroom door.
The smell of her soap and shampoo hit me even harder.
I tried to keep my eyes from devouring her body but that was impossible.
The way her stomach pushed out was just… whoa.
“I was talking to someone,” I said.
“At a bar. I know the drill. If I hadn’t called, you would probably be having sex with her right now.”
“Maybe so,” I said. “But you cock blocked me. So now I’m here.”
“I’m leaving.”
“To go where?”
“I’m going out too,” she said. “And that’s not your business.”
Maya reached behind her and grabbed a black shirt.
I watched her put the shirt on, marveling at her chest.
She was… damn.
When she put the shirt on, she pulled her hair out from the shirt and then pulled at the front of the shirt. She bit her lip as she did so.
I nodded. “You’re trying to hide the baby bump.”
“Go away, Cole,” she said.
“I’m not going to go away, Maya. What are you trying to prove?”
Maya turned to face me. “You want to go out and date women? Fuck them? Fine. Go have fun. Guess what? I’m going to go do the same thing.”
“You’re going to go out and date and fuck women? I’m okay with that. Can I watch?”
Maya slapped me across the face.
I earned that one for sure.
Maya pushed by me and walked to the kitchen.
I followed.
“So just be real with me here,” I said. “You’re wearing that puffy looking shirt so you can hide the fact that you’re pregnant. Right?”
“What does it matter to you, Cole?”
“That’s my baby inside you.”
Maya laughed. “And that means you can control me, right? You call all the shots. Where I live. What lies I tell. What truths I can believe in.”
“Maya, don’t say it like that,” I said.
She opened the fridge and took out a bottle of water. “Want one?”
“Considering it’s my water, sure,” I said.
She twisted off the cap and took a big gulp.
Then she coughed and spit into the top of the water bottle.
She put the cap back on, shook the water, and threw it at me.
I caught the water bottle and gritted my teeth. “You’re pushing it, Maya.”
“For what?” she asked. “What am I pushing, Cole? Here I thought maybe you cared about me. And the baby. This apartment is really nice. I wanted to say thanks for it. And then for a quick second… I don’t know, Cole, I thought maybe we could figure something out here. You’re a guy. You want to get laid, right? Guess what? I’m a woman and I want the same thing. You don’t think I…” She laughed. “What the hell am I saying right now?”
She took a step and I blocked her path. “Is that what this is? Sex? You want to have sex?”
“I have to go, Cole,” she said.
I touched her wrist. “I’m okay with it. Maya. You and I. We can have sex.”
She laughed. “Of course we can. Because you said so.”
“No. You have needs. I can take care of them.”
“For what?” she asked. “For me? You’re a hero, Cole. You can come over here and fuck your pregnant secretary as a gift, right? Then go wash your dick and balls clean and head out to a bar to find some skinny, non-pregnant woman to fuck.”
“I would never do that to you,” I said.
“Yes, you would,” Maya said with a laugh. “You can’t commit to one person. I should have figured that. I need to just crush all my dreams and focus on myself. And the baby. So, Cole, thank you for the apartment. This place is great. It’s
