CHAPTER 41
TWO MONTHS LATER
Isadora’s POV
Josie and I decided to clean out the baby’s room so we could get ready to paint it as soon as we know. Rafael is dead set on us having a girl. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care what the gender is, as long as he or she is healthy.
“So how’s things going with Cass?” I asked picking up a box of stuffed animals.
“Weird.” She replied putting a box down and picking up another.
“Weird how?”
“I don’t know. I really really like him, he’s sweet, attentive, he takes care of me and he’s a freaking god in bed but, I miss sleeping with Nessa too. She made me feel things only a woman can. Like a girl to girl level of connection.” She sighed.
“Have you tried talking to him about an open relationship? He could date the both of you or you could date the both of them. Either way, knowing Cass, he’s up for trying new things.” I smiled. she looks down.
“Im scared to bring it up. I don’t want him to think he’s not enough for me. He absolutely is but I just miss the touch of a woman, you know? I’m bisexual, I love both men and women, and I sometimes can’t choose between them seeing as I love being with both so much.”Suddenly a smile appeared on her face and I swear I could see the little light bulb shine brightly above her head.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“No, no, no. Absolutely not!” I shook my head.
“Please Isa?” She begged, giving me her best pouty lip and puppy dog eyes.
“No Josie. I love you, you’re like my sister but this is your relationship. Grow a pair and handle your shit.” I hate being tough on her like this but when she gets nervous about something she shuts down and just suffers , Instead of talking it out. Which means I’m the one who usually does the talking, but not this time.
“And just how exactly do I casually slip into the conversation, Hey babe, what do you think about Nessa joining our relationship because I miss the touch of a woman sometimes.” She says in a sarcastic tone.
“If that’s what you really want, I don’t mind being with two chicks. As long as you’re happy pumpkin.” As soon as we heard Cass’s voice we both froze. Josie looked as though she was about to faint. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her neck.
“Is that what you really want baby?” She started to tear up.
“Hey, look at me.” He grabbed her face and held her. “Why are you crying?”
“I was so scared to ask you. I thought you might get mad. I didn’t want you to think that you weren’t enough for me, cause you are babe. I don’t want you to leave me.” She said between sobs. He kissed her. It was gentle and soft. I could tell he was trying to tell her he was here to stay.
“Never be afraid to talk to me about anything. If something is bothering you or if it’s something you want, you tell me. We will talk about it. I’m not going to leave you for speaking your mind or wanting to try something new baby. Im always down to try new things. We will talk to Nessa together, tomorrow and see how she feels. Sound good?” She nodded and kissed him. When he pulled away, he turned to me.
“Rafael said he’s ready when you are. He’s outside with Gabriella and Esme. I’m going with the guys to open the club. I’ll be back later for the gender reveal.” He kissed Josie one more time. “I love you pumpkin, see you later.” And with that he left. HOLY HAMMER OF THOR! Did he just say he loved her? Ha! I fucking knew it!
“Did he?” She paused, just as shocked as I was.
“I think so” I smilled at her.
“You heard that right? Im not just losing my mind and hearing shit right?” Her breathing became rapid. Oh no. she’s about to have an episode. I quickly bring her in for a hug and feel her slightly relax.
“Calm down before you pass out.” I said rubbing her back as she tries to even out her breathing. As soon as she’s calm and her breathing was back to normal, I pull away and wipe the tears off her cheeks.
“He said he loves you. Now before you start freaking out, he’s a patient man when it comes to you. So if you’re not ready to say it back to him, do not panic. Take your time.” She sighed and nodded. “Good. Now carry me downstairs please.” I giggled. She gave me her best resting bitch face.
“Bitch you’re pregnant, not crippled. I will give you my arm to hold so you don’t fall, but I am not carrying you”” She said holding out her arm.
“Well, mommy tried little one. “I rolled my eyes and rubbed my belly. Josie laughed. We make our way downstairs and I can hear Gabriella squeal with excitement”Maybe Rafael wil carry you. “Josie said smiling
.”Are you kidding? Ever since we had sex, he’s like a happy little kid and an over protective fiancee all wrapped in one. I bet the moment I get outside he will pick me up and carry me to the car. “I stated. She laughed.
We open the front door and see Gabriella, Esme and Rafael standing next to the car talking. The moment he sees me, he rushes up to me and picks me up bridal style, kissing me on the nose. “Hey there beautiful.” He says smiling. I look over at Josie and give my i told you so’face.
“Hi baby:” I give him a kiss and he walks towards the car, setting me down gently in the passenger seat, then running to the drivers side.
“Be careful! I love you both and hurry back!” Gabriella hollers as we pull away.
