Wrapping his arms around her waist, he placed his palm flat on her stomach.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve got in your pocket,” she said, whispering against his ear.
“I don’t have anything.”
“You’ve got a pregnancy test.”
“How do you know?”
“Someone told my mom they saw you buying one and asked if I was knocked up yet.”
He chuckled. “Okay, so maybe I bought one because we can’t keep putting this off.”
“But I feel fine.”
“I know you want to wait until you start throwing up in the morning, but not all of us are like that. We want answers, real answers.”
“I know you’re right.”
“Good,” he kissed her cheek. “There’s a bathroom in the clubhouse. Let’s go.”
Alfie didn’t give her time to argue. Without another word, he marched her out of the warehouse and to the clubhouse.
A couple of the club women quickly jumped out of his way, clearly not wanting to anger him. He couldn’t blame them. None of the club women held a patch to his girl. The bathroom was all clear, and the moment they were inside, he pushed the bolt home.
“You’re going to watch me pee?”
“No. I’ll give you the privacy, but you will be peeing and I’m going to stay in the room.” He pulled the test out of his pocket. “Here you go.”
“What if it says no?” Chloe asked.
“Then we carry on as we were.” He’d try to not remember condoms. He wanted her knocked up, and he knew it made him a really bad person. But he didn’t give at shit what others thought of him, only that, he really, really wanted to be with her, and only her.
“And if it says yes?”
“You marry me.” He’d been waiting for this opportunity, and he wasn’t going to squander it.
“You’re crazy,” she said.
“Am I, or am I just madly in love?” he said.
“You keep saying those words.”
“They’re the truth. You’re everything to me, and I’m going to keep on saying them until you realize I mean business.”
“I know you mean them.”
“Good because I regretted not saying it to you before you left. I’m not going do that to you again. I’ve changed.”
“I can see that.” She started to tear up, and he pulled her into his arms. “I’ll marry you,” she said.
“You don’t have to sound so sad about it.”
“I’m not sad. I’m really happy.”
“You have a weird way of showing it.”
“Alfie, I’ve been really scared to say this to you in case it doesn’t ever work out, but I do … I do love you. I know I don’t say it as much as you, but please, don’t break my heart.”
“I won’t. I promise.” He stroked a finger down her cheek. “I’ve learned my lesson. This what you’re giving me now, being part of my life, it’s more than I could have ever hoped for.” He kissed her again. “Please, take the test.”
She chuckled. “This is crazy.”
“I know it’s crazy, but this is our life and I want to live it to the fullest with you. Kids, no kids, lots of kids. All I want is you.”
“Okay. Let’s do this. No baby, we carry on. A baby, we get married.” She let out a breath, and gave him the signal to turn around.
“You know I’ve licked and sucked at your pussy more times than I can count,” he said.
“And you think this is going to make me feel better when I’ve got to pee on a stick. I want you to have some sexual desire intact.”
“I was reading women sometimes shit while in labor.”
“Ew, gross, what are you reading?” she asked.
Alfie laughed. He had given her his back so she could pee, but he liked to tease her, even if it did make her uncomfortable.
“Just a few things on pregnancy. I figure I better start getting all the information now when we’re ready.”
“This is insane.”
“We’ll make it work.”
“I know we will.” Seconds passed. “I’m ready.”
He turned around as she put the test down and washed her hands.
“Now we wait,” he said, staring at the stick.
“It’s not going to go any faster with you glaring at it.”
“I’m making sure it knows what to do.”
“By glaring?”
“Yes.” He wanted to know if he’d finally made her his.
He knelt down, arms, crossed, chin resting on his hands.
Chloe stood beside him after drying her hands. She stroked her fingers through his hair, humming.
“This reminds me of high school,” she said.
“How does it?”
“You were always impatient for me to finish. I know this isn’t the same thing because hello, it’s a test, but it kind of is.”
“I don’t know how much I can handle,” he said. His nerves were only increasing the longer they waited.
“Just give it a couple of minutes. It’ll surprise you.”
“I’m not ready to be surprised yet.” He stood up, running fingers through his hair, banding his arms around her, squeezing her ass. He loved her curvy shape more than anything. “What time is it?” he asked, giving up with his patience level.
