I am the least attractive woman on the planet right now.” These two were absolutely crazy.
“What are you guys talking about?” Fayth sat in the chair Marco had been in, and I froze.
Oh, God.
Kill me now.
Greer smirked.
No.
We were not going to have a reenactment of breakfast when Greer was blabbing about Marco and me.
Especially not when his mother was sitting right next to me.
“Royal thinks she’s ugly because she’s about to shoot a baby out of her vagina.”
“Indiana,” I hissed. And here I thought Indiana would be on my side when she got here.
Wrong.
“We talking about shooting babies out of our vaginas?” Cyn called from the end of the table.
Oh, God. Again.
Everyone could hear what we were talking about.
“No,” I shouted. “Not talking about that at all.”
Cyn frowned. “Maybe I need to get my hearing checked, but I am damn sure that is exactly what you said.”
Indiana laughed. “It was.”
I couldn’t trust anyone anymore.
Greer was a traitor, and now, so was Indiana.
I was going to put an ad in the paper and try to find a new best friend. One that wouldn’t embarrass me and tell me Marco liked me.
It was time for me to crawl into bed and forget the past ten minutes of my life.
I grabbed my empty plate that was in front of Fayth and stood. “Well, this was fun, but it’s time for me to take my whale ass to sleep.”
Indiana sputtered, and Cyn snorted.
“Honey, you are far from a whale.” Meg, who was sitting next to Cyn, grabbed a chip from her plate and popped it into her mouth. “I can’t even tell you’re pregnant from behind.”
“A behind that I would kill for right now,” Cyn added.
They could have my ass if I could just escape to my room right now.
“Where are you going?” Marco asked. He stood behind Greer with a plateful of food in his hand and a fork in the other.
“Bed.” I know I had promised him that I would be here when he came back to the table, but I hadn’t planned on being ambushed in his leave. He could come with me for all I cared as long as I wasn’t standing in the dining room talking about shooting babies out of my vagina.
“Are you okay?” Marco asked. His voice was laced with concern, and he really had no idea why I was running away.
“Just tired.” I pasted a smile on my face. And felt slightly embarrassed.
Marco tipped his head to the side and studied me. “I’ll walk you to your room.”
“You don’t need to do that,” I insisted. He didn’t need to be pulled away from his dinner because I was running away.
“No,” Greer called. She turned and looked at Marco. “You totally should walk her to her room. That’s so chivalrous of you.”
Oh, Lord. What the hell was Greer trying to do now?
“Please don’t,” I pleaded. I glanced helplessly at Indiana, but I knew she wasn’t going to be any help.
She had a huge grin on her face. “Though you should know I’m watching you.”
Oh, God.
“Good night everyone,” I called. I dashed around the table and out of the dining room. Well, as much dashing as a nine-month pregnant woman could do.
“Royal,” Marco called.
Yeah, nope. I was not going to stop walking until I made it to my room.
I jogged up the stairs past two guys I couldn’t remember their names and felt that nagging pain in my stomach again.
“Would you slow down,” Marco called.
I glanced behind me and saw he was only a few feet from me. I turned toward my bedroom and speed walked through the pain.
“Royal,” he called again. “Slow down or you are going to hurt yourself.”
I reached my door and pushed it open. I tried to slam it shut, but Marco had his foot blocking it.
“What in the hell are you jogging through the house for?” he demanded.
I rolled my eyes and moved to the bathroom. “I wasn’t jogging. I’m tired and I wanted to go to bed.”
Marco set his plateful of food on the dresser and licked his thumb.
The damn man needed to stop licking his fingers. It was doing butterfly things to my stomach, and I wasn’t ready for it.
I pushed open the bathroom door and closed it behind me. Thankfully, this time, Marco didn’t barge in.
I had two choices.
I could get ready for bed and then walk out of the bathroom.
Or, I could get ready for bed, and then see about making a bed in the bathtub with all of
