My Expectation (My Escort Series Book 3) by Kia Carrington-Russell Page B

certainly seemed to have him banging his head against a wall.
                  I wanted to ask him, if in a way he wished that she were pregnant as some form of commitment or sign for him. But I don’t think he yet knew the answer to that question himself. I just tapped him heartfelt on the shoulder and told him that he would find someone. I didn’t feel like teasing him about Megan right now. Everyone but those two around them saw how befitting they were as a couple.
                  Hayden mentioned that he was taking seriously a woman named Sarah, she sounded exotic and business minded. Hayden was a woman pleaser through and through and I think now that he actively searched for love. He realized how hard it was and that not just anyone can be the right fit.
                  It was different with Damon and me. I wasn’t looking, nor was he. We had both buried any thoughts of a relationship and lived our separate career driven lives until that very fateful night that we met and just couldn’t keep away from each other afterwards. We kept gravitating towards one another.
                  I had my hand rested on my stomach, an action which Hayden noticed but didn’t question. I couldn’t help it, I just couldn’t help but touch my stomach, I was so aware of it now. I felt foolish as I waited to see if I could feel something or just have an exterior visual to see that it was definitely true.
                  An hour before I met with Damon I borrowed Hayden’s motel bathroom to get changed and do my makeup and hair. He too was readying himself for a date he had that night with this woman, Sarah. He looked rather sharp in his suit and blue silk tie and did it up efficiently himself. I was too often in the habit of helping Damon with his now. He could do them himself but I enjoyed doing it for him.
                  I put on my free flowing green dress which had spaghetti straps and a simple gold necklace. I wanted to look nice tonight, I wanted to glow for him. I wanted it to be a perfect moment as I told him this news. I wanted him to see me and be stunned, to think that I was his everything. I didn’t think our fight was too serious that I should be worried that we were going to break up or anything like that, but my heart still pained at the thought. There was always a chance that something might happen. What if our communication wasn’t properly reaching and we were on different wave lengths? I pushed away those thoughts and pushed aside my hair to clip the necklace.
                  I applied some natural colors to my face and happily assessed how I looked. I was looking for an evident bump but couldn’t see one in the free flowing dress. Strangely enough I stood to the side and wrapped my hand below my belly so I could see. It wasn’t a large bump, it simply looked like I had eaten far too much over a Christmas season. But there it was, the start of something which would only grow.
                  Hayden walked into the bathroom exchanging with me an odd glance. I dropped my hand instantly and reshuffled my hair. He went to say something and then decided not to.
                  “Are you ready?” he asked instead. I think Hayden knew already. I wondered if Megan had told him, but I doubted that as well. I supposed my actions were rather obvious. I didn’t mean to incline it to him, I was just full of apprehension myself and was still adjusting to the news myself.
                  “I’m ready,” I said. I placed some high beige heels on and walked behind him and out of the motel. Hayden knew the place he was taking me to. I was nervous and butterflies began to fill my belly. Again in my insecurities I found myself holding my stomach. I wanted him to come to love this child, as much as I had already found myself starting to.
