My hands begins to feel heavy as I glance at the 27 positive results sprawled across my bathroom floor and sink
This can't be true, It's a lie, a stupid sick joke from Finn Lores.
I try to hold on to whatever sense I'm grasping to but the fact remains
Positive
27 positive signs I'm carrying Killian's baby.
A single tear rolls down as my mind blanks; I'm not ready for this.
Killian isn't here; he's marrying someone else. Do I tell him?
No Marissa
I have no one, no one to call, I've been so stupid chasing after Killian and here I am pregnant.
I wipe another tear; this isn't me; Marissa Times is fearless; ambitious.
I begin to scoop all the sticks up into the waste bag and tie it up
I'm going to be fine, I'll figure something out. Let's just start with a glass of water.
I stride slowly down my stairs until I get to the kitchen
"Finn?, what are you doing?" My feet seems to halt with one look of Finn Lores
"Checking if you're okay, the pharmacy sent a notification to confirm your prescription was delivered and you picked it up, plus I brought dinner" Finn Lores seems so casual that I'm almost lost
I can't take any risks.
I quickly rush towards my living room to pick up my apartment's spare key Finn had easily swiped; Finn holds me firmly
"What is your problem?, are you stalking me now?" I tug my wrist off Finn's grip
Finn Lores' eyes seem to flash cold like before
"Careful Marissa, I've told you " Finn seems so threatening yet composed
"You're the last person I need right now; I can't believe you sent vitamins to my prescription" My frustration feels uncontrollable that it slips off;
"Your addiction should be put aside, you have a child to think about now" Finn replies
I try to regain my emotions; Finn obviously knows
"I haven't even decided if I'm keeping it" my voice breaks
Finn's cold eyes suddenly softens like Killian's
"Don't be stupid Marissa, You're pregnant with a Lores child, it deserves everything, you can't take the choice away from it" Finn advises
Finn's reply stuns me, it seems Finn Lores had a better perspective towards children.
"Plus even if you don't want it, you could make a thousand fortunes just having the baby and giving it to the Lores family"
Finn snaps me back to my senses as he takes a seat comfortably sliding a glass of cold water on the kitchen island, I take a seat as well accepting the glass
"I'm not having it adopted or whatever Finn, it's Killian's too, he should know right?" my tears begin to roll and Finn actually pulls me closer to his warm embrace
His touch doesn't seem familiar, Killian's touch was always my comfort but Finn's is somehow close
"He doesn't have to know, Marissa, Killian is the person who values his reputation " Finn Lores replies
My eyes darts up Finn Lores' Ocean blue eyes
"What's that supposed to mean Finn" I pull off Finn's warm embrace
"Killian Lores' reputation is based on his self control and upright Dignity, he wouldn't be able to deal with this right now as he's marrying the prestigious York's daughter. if he knew he'd probably pay you off, the last thing Killian needs is a playboy reputation. Trust me" Finn advises
I feel a sudden sting of regret and I try to calm myself by drinking water
Finn's eyes seem sincere, he actually wants his brother's image to be spot on, Killian Lores is an eligible bachelor to the public, and Finn wouldn't want this pregnancy scandal ruining Killian.
"Do you understand Marissa?, We should keep this under wrap" Finn holds my hand and squeezes like he's trying to tell me it will all be okay
My tears flows but for some reason I've realized, the one man I can count on isn't Killian Lores right now. It's Finn.
My sobbing is muffled by Finn's warm embrace once again;
"Thank you Finn" my lips mutters as I try to sniffle a tear
"I've got everything under control"
"How did you know?" I ask Finn as he seats besides me at the kitchen island
"I had my suspicions, then I confirmed them with a sugar test" Finn smirks; his ocean blue eyes darts cold again "it wasn't fun"
I gaze at Finn Lores for a brief second
"You broke into my house and stole my pee?" I try to piece whatever puzzle that is Finn Lores
Finn chuckles
"It's not my fault you don't flush the toilet" Finn shrugs
I feel a sudden warmth of his company, his vibe seems different from Killian's.
They seem so alike yet Finn has something else I've always longed to have; Finn Lores has confidence and that's something I lack.
I watch as he unpacks the bags he brought in and stacks ingredients on the kitchen island. His shades rest perfectly on the bridge of his nose like it's not too bright for him yet the shades give him that cool look.
He seems so confident about himself;
Finn Lores radiates a different energy and it actually feels good around him, a sense of Comfort and protection
Finn is the very last person I should be enjoying being around.
"How do you even have my spare key?" I try to bring it up casually as Finn begins to peel potatoes
"I have my ways " Finn shrugs
I gulp hard as soon as the cool water hit my lips; I try not to feel anxious; I haven't eaten the entire day.
Finn seems to catch my glance and smirks
"I figured, you haven't eaten all day,
don't worry, how does Turkish flat bread and wagu sound"
His words brings a sense of relief as he places some meat on the grill
"Sounds good " my voice almost breaks; Finn is trying to feed me and I just happen to be pregnant
"Why are you doing this Finn?" My eyes stares Finn Lores straight into his ocean blue shades
"Doing what Marissa?" Finn slices the wagu meat and places it on Turkish flat bread
"All of this, the vitamins, Dinner, I mean, why?"
Finn pauses and turns towards me like it's a stupid question
"Why not Marissa?, What would you have done if you were alone, I highly doubt you know a thing about cooking, you'll feed the baby all sorts of sugary rubbish " Finn replies
He's actually right; I've been eating ice-cream ever since Killian left for Egypt and Ella's been ordering in take outs
I sigh hard the very moment Finn seats a plate before me and seats comfortably like we're on some kind of date
The flat bread looks so scrumptious with wagu meat; I almost drool; Finn Lores can cook?.
"Bon Appetit Marissa"
"Shouldn't you remove your shades indoors?, it's not even sunny " my voice trails
He took off his shades and I got a view of his black eye.
My lips forms an O; I need to stop forgetting that the fact Finn is a night time rascal
"You should eat Marissa; the baby is starving" Finn Lores seems so nonchalant about it
My gaze fixes on the flatbread once more. waste no time digging in to the curry and pick up a piece of meat along with the bread
It's a taste sensation and Finn seems so composed as I savor his cooking
"This is actually delicious Finn" My taste buds explodes in joy as my other hand rubs my bump unconsciously
I've noticed Finn is glancing at my stomach and he hasn't taken a bite.
"You should eat Finn" I urge Finn
Finn Lores simply picks up his shades and darts out
"I'm fine Marissa, I'll head home now, enjoy the flatbread"
The door slides shut and I realize; I actually miss his company
Finn Lores has something Killian never had; Presence.
I glance down at my flatbread again and it suddenly brings tears.
I'm actually pregnant for Killian Lores. What have I done?.
