for it.
“You’re right,” I say, tilting my beer to him. I look at Riley and shake my head. “You’re lucky.”
He scoffs, rolling his eyes, which causes him pain that he doesn’t bring attention to. Brooks and Enzo come in and we all get around the table. It takes longer than I expected, but we finally decide the best move is exactly what Porter said. Once we find out who the dealer is, we can take it from there. I’m hoping Harper is able to get some information for us.
“What’s going on tonight?” I ask Zane when we are walking out of the room.
“I’m going home to have sex with my gorgeous wife,” he says, smiling.
I think it might be the first time I’m jealous he’s married. It must be nice not having to call your fuck buddy and hope she’s got no plans. Although, I have a feeling if I called Brittany, she’d ignore me like I have been her. Not because her feelings are hurt, but because she was horny and had to look elsewhere. I’m not even sure why I’ve been ignoring her, but I’m not going to fucking worry about it.
“Hey, before I get to the fucking, you wanna stop by and we’ll see what happened with Harper today?”
“As long as I’m outta there before the fucking starts,” I joke.
He laughs as we walk out of Souls. “No promises,” he says, lighting a cigarette.
It’s a short drive to Zane’s and it brings back memories of the months I stayed here. I miss it. Not the reason I was here, but the fun we all had. It was nice feeling like a family. A fucked up, crazy family, but still a family.
“You miss having me around?” I ask, laughing.
Z stops at the front door and turns with a smirk on his face. “Yeah Kace, every time I’m done fucking my wife, we both mourn the loss of having you around all the time.”
I flip him off, shaking my head. “Funny, I mourn the loss of your manhood all the time.”
We both walk in the door laughing, but Zane stops short, causing me to crash into his back. Before I can say anything, my eyes land on Ivy. Without thought my pulse picks up, my heart squeezes, and my skin is on fire. Fuck, she’s even more beautiful than I remember.
“I’m pregnant,” she whispers to Harper.
“What?” Harper whispers back.
“What?” Zane says.
“WHAT?” I yell, stepping out from behind Zane.
They both spin around, and Ivy’s wide brown eyes collide with mine. “Kace,” she breathes out, shock clear on her face.
“You’re pregnant?” I ask, moving closer.
“This isn’t how I wanted you to find out,” she says, rushing out of her seat. She runs down the hallways, slamming the bathroom door.
I stare at the closed door, until Z touches my shoulder. I spin around and look between him and Harper. “She’s pregnant?”
“That’s what she said,” Harper says, giving a weak smile.
I swallow past the tightness in my throat and grab onto the back of the chair. “Who’s the father?”
“I don’t know. You heard as much as I did. I’m so sorry, Kace. I know you guys didn’t work out, but I know you have feelings for her.” I lift an eyebrow and she rolls her eyes. “Cut the shit. I know exactly what you felt toward her.” She stands up and squeezes my arm. “I’m gonna check on her. You guys should go. You don’t need all the details.”
She walks down the hall and I look at Z. “Shit brother, I had no idea. Come on, lets get back to Souls and get drunk.”
“What if it’s mine?” I whisper, looking down at the floor.
“What?” Zane yells. I glance up at him and he shakes his head. “You had sex with her?”
“Yeah, at your wedding,” I say, blowing out a breath. I scrub my face and start to pace. “We used a condom though, so what the fuck?”
“You had sex at my wedding?”
I stop pacing and look at him. He has a smirk on his face that is getting bigger as I look at him. “Z, fuck you.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because we aren’t teenage girls,” I say, squeezing the back of my neck as I pace again.
Is she here because it’s mine or because she just needs her friend? I don’t know which one I’d rather, but I know right now I feel like I’m crawling out of my skin. I’m not leaving until I fucking know.
