Chapter 437: Ice cream and a confession

Beau

"You should talk to your man,’’ Darrien tells me as he leaves the house. I look at him with a raised brow because I know he spent the day with him. Which makes me think the worst. I have had issues with leaving him alone these days. I just worry when I am not with him and I have had a lot on my plate lately.

"Is he okay?’’ I ask him.

He raises his hands in the air "I can’t be the one to tell you this. Maybe just sit down with him and really have a conversation.’’ he tells me as I watch him leave. I don’t even get a chance to thank him for spending the day with him. Lanis is the easiest person to be with. He is not demanding.

I walk back to our room with a bag in my grip. I had to go to town to get this for Lanis. I just want to help in the small ways I can.

I open the door with my free hand and walk into the room with the bag in my grip. Lanis is on the bed with his eyes closed, with his arms underneath his pillow. His chest rising and falling with each breath he takes I stand there for a while just watching him. I know he is most likely taking a nap but I want to just look at him.

I walk over to the bed and gently place the bag on the bed. I place my hand on his bareback and he lets out a sigh. His body is so warm. He is always warm lately.

"Hi,’’ he smiles and I smile back.

"I brought you something,’’ I tell him as I sit on the bed next to him.

He moves and sits up next to me with the blanket covering his stomach but there is excitement on his face as a smile spreads across his face. He grabs the bag from me and opens it up with a smile still on his face. I know that he is still in pain but somehow it is like he has acclimated to the pain and that is one thing I don’t like about the whole situation. His eyes open wide as he pulls out the tub of ice cream.

"Would it be gluttonous if I start eating it without a spoon?" He smiles as he opens the tub and takes a lick with his finger. This is not a big deal but the way he is acting right now is making it seem like I have done more than I actually have.

"Let me get a spoon for you,’’ I stand up from the bed and he nods as I place a soft kiss on his forehead. I walk out of the room and rush in the direction of the kitchen. I keep thinking about what Darrien said and it makes me feel like there is something that he hasn’t told me that Darrien knows. I know he is going through things that he doesn’t want to talk about but I wish he would just talk to me.

I get back to the rooms and he looks up from the ice cream, still smiling "Hurry up, it is melting,’’ he tells me as I hand him the spoon. I sit next to him and he leans in for a kiss. I oblige and we kiss. His lips are so soft and cold from the ice cream that it makes me smile.

"Thank you,’’ he tells me as I sit back on the bed. I watch him eat the ice cream and it is almost cute how he licks the spoon and makes a mess. He is enjoying this treat that I got for him. He hasn’t smiled this much in a while.

"I saw Darrien on the way out,’’ I tell him wanting to talk to him about whatever is going on with him. I know it won’t be easy, I mean, I can’t just tell him that Darrien told me that something is bothering him.

"And?’’ he looks up at me with a spoon full of ice cream.

"Nothing much, how was the visit?’’ I ask him, sliding closer to him. I have been contemplating on what to do with Fallon for the last week and the only persons’ opinion that matters to me is Lanis but I also know that this is not the time to talk about the pack drama. I just want him to get through this pregnancy. I don’t want him stressing about anything.

"As annoying as Darrien can be,’’ he shrugs like it is not a big deal.

"I know he can be a handful,’’ I tell him.

He nods in agreement but doesn’t say anything after that. I lie down next to him because I want to feel close to him and with everything that is happening, this is the only way I can feel close to him.

I wrap my arms around him and he drops the ice cream on the table next to his side of the bed.

He puts his arm around me and nuzzles his face on the crook of my neck. "Do you still find me attractive?" he says suddenly after a couple of minutes.

I look at him with a raised brow and I don’t even know why he is asking me this question.

"I mean, do you still find me attractive?’’ he repeats the question

I look at him and I still don’t understand why he is asking me this. I mean, I get the reason why he is going through a lot of things and maybe the hormones are messing with his head but I didn’t even think he would feel this way.

Thinking about it now, the past week has been weird. He has been so distant from me and I have been trying to figure out why.

"You are the most beautiful person I know. I still find you attractive,’’ I tell him and I wrap my arm around him.

Maybe this is what Darrien meant.

Maybe this is what has been bothering him.
