press against my zipper. I am glad that Ivy has a friend though. I often wondered if she had friends here.
“Yeah there will be,” Ivy answers for me.
“I texted Z. They’ll be here in a few minutes,” I say.
“Do you mind if I stay or would you like some privacy?”
Ivy steps away from me and hugs Mia quickly. “I’d like you to stay. You can meet everyone.”
“I’d like that,” Mia says. I notice a bit of sadness in her, but it’s not my business. Ivy is.
I pull a burner phone out of my pocket and hand it to Ivy. “Use this until we get you a new phone.”
“You don’t need to do that,” she says.
“Yeah I do,” I say. Now that my heart has stopped racing, I take in her place. It’s nice, small but updated. I take note of the colors and the style as I look around. “This is a great place.”
“Thanks,” she says, dipping her head. I know even without seeing her face that she is blushing. It makes me grin as I walk toward her.
I glance at Mia before lifting Ivy’s chin to have her look at me. I smile as I search her beautiful face. “How can you still blush when I say something? I’ve been inside you,” I whisper for only her to hear.
Her face turns a shade of red I didn’t know it could, but we get interrupted when Harper bangs on the door. “Ivy!” She rushes to the door and opens it. “Fuck, are you trying to get us all killed? What the hell happened?” Harper yells, coming in.
“I’m fine. I dropped my phone and broke it. I’m sorry I made you all worry,” Ivy says.
Z looks at me as he walks in and I nod my head letting him know everything is alright. Riley and Finn follow, and I laugh when Finn almost trips on himself when he sees Mia.
“Damn, nice place Ivy,” Riley says, kissing her cheek.
“Hey,” Finn says, giving her a hug.
I can see the tears in her eyes, and it squeezes my heart. She says she hates the club, but that’s not true. She just has trouble with some of the shit we get caught up in. I can work with that.
“Seriously, you’re alright?” Harper asks, looking her over.
“Yes, I’m fine.” She looks around at everyone and a small smile plays at her lips. “I can order some pizza if you guys are hungry.”
“No, it’s alright,” Finn says.
“Fuck yeah,” Riley says, plopping down on her couch.
“Kace will pay since he wouldn’t listen to logic and we all drove out here,” Z says, walking into the kitchen.
I laugh as I pull out my credit card and hand it to Ivy. “Order a few pizzas and whatever else you want.”
“Who’s the chick standing in the corner?” Riley asks, jerking his thumb toward Mia.
“Shit sorry,” Ivy says, motioning Mia to come over. “This is my friend Mia. Mia, this is Riley, Finn, Harper, and Zane.”
“Ivy’s told me a lot about you,” Harper says, looking her up and down. I get the feeling she doesn’t like Ivy having another friend that she’s been close to.
“You too, it’s nice to meet you,” Mia says. She turns to Ivy with wide eyes. “You left out a lot of details.”
I go into the kitchen with Z while the rest of them talk after Ivy orders food. “We need to send Finn for beer, there’s none here,” he says with a smirk.
I flip him off and lean against the counter. “You would’ve done the same shit if it was Harper.”
“You’re right I would cause she’s the love of my life. I would die before I let anything bad happen to her again,” he says, lifting an eyebrow.
I sigh and scrub my face. “I care for her and she’s pregnant with my kid.”
“I know brother, I’m not saying you shouldn’t have. I’m just saying maybe think about why you did.”
He’s right, but I’ll never admit it. Maybe I do have feelings for Ivy that I never wanted to admit because I thought she deserved better. My trust issues run deep, and I never wanted that to ruin anything that we could have, but it’s all different now. Now that she’s pregnant I don’t want to be away from her. I see what Harper and Zane have and a part of me longs to have that and maybe with Ivy it is a possibility. It scares the fuck out of me but being without her scares me more.
