Chapter 21: Chapter Twenty-one
Olivia
"The family? What family?" I ask suddenly insecure.
"Stop it you asshole, doctor told her not to stress, so stop stressing my woman." Jason says, helping me sit like I'm an invalid and walks to his brother and hugs him.
"Sorry love, it's just me." Says looking at me, then turns and looks at Jason and says, "Although mom and dad did mention coming to see you, something about it being a long time and all."
"I'll call them and tell them I will visit. And you said you're going to visit in a few days, not the following day." Jason says to him then walks back to me. "Olivia this is my brother Joseph or Joe if you'd like, younger by a year and three months and my mothers apple of the eye." He says the last part with a smile and I get the sense it's a joke amongst them.
"Wow, so your mom and dad waited six months before they started on you? Damn, what was the rush?" The words come out of my mouth before they can register in my mind and I start to apologize but both brothers are busy laughing and I wonder what's so funny about what I just said.
"Damn, been too long since a woman made me laugh." Joseph says after the stop laughing. "It's actually five months, my mom was late by a month.
"Oh. Well you came out then." I say to him trying to soften my nerves.
I stand up to go to the kitchen to some water, but Jason holds my hand, preventing me from going, I look down at him with a question and he asks me where I'm going. And I tell him to the kitchen and try to pull my hand, but my body is still in pains.
"What do you want in the kitchen? I can get it for you..." He says to me, sitting me down again. "Jason I'm not an invalid, I'm capable of doing things for myself." I say trying to get him to let go. His brother is watching with a smirk on his face and a glint in his eyes.
"I know you can, but it's the doctor's orders baby, and right now you're supposed to be in bed. So what did you want in the kitchen?" He asks again.
"Something to drink. Juice, wine, water, whiskey, anything to drink. Would you please get me a big glass of whiskey?" I ask batting my eyes.
He furrows his forehead and gives me an answer I was expecting, "No, you'll have juice." Then stands up and goes to the kitchen when he comes back with juice and water, he say to me, "Until the results come back, you will not be having any alcohol." I was not expecting him to say that.
"Dude, I'm not pregnant." I say to him and look at his brother for help, but he has his brows raised. "I'm not, your brother doesn't even want me on the pill." I say to him.
"Joe is not interested in knowing that. And you don't know that so you can't be sure." Jason answers me.
"So when is the wedding bro?" Joe asks and I just want to disappear.
"I haven't officially asked yet, plus I haven't told her I love her. And yes I know you were being sarcastic. So tell me why the fuck you're in my house and when you're leaving, you're stressing Olivia out." He says leaving me struggling for words.
"So you're planning on getting her pregnant without telling her?" Joe asks and we both wait for Jason to answer.
"Get out of my relationship business. You haven't told me what you're doing here still." Jason asks him.
"You're my brother and I missed you. Plus we still have some business to discuss." Joe says to Jason.
I zone out then. My mind going to the discussion about pregnancy that Jason and I never had. I'm busy praying I'm not pregnant and Jason is apparently doing the opposite, and taking it in strides and gracefully so. Anyone would think he is trying to bind me to him with a baby, something women usually do. I'm not even surprised though considering he just told his brother he wants to put a ring on my finger. If I am pregnant though I won't abort the baby, although I sense Jason wouldn't let me, I will take care of my baby girl or boy well. I place a hand on my tummy as a little excitement rises inside my heart.
I don't want to get my hopes up though. I want kids one day, but me and Jason have Officially only started dating, it'd be weird to get pregnant this fast. I can't even imagine what my mother and brothers would say about me being pregnant, and it would somehow prove Matt's theory about me cheating on him even though it's not true.
I'm brought back to the present when Jason touches my face and asks me if I'm ok. "Yeah I'm ok, but I am tired of sleeping and sitting. I think I'm going to walk around and return the calls I've missed, I know my family will be worried of me." I say already standing up, kissing him on his cheek but he turns my face so the kiss goes to his mouth.
"Your brother is tight there. You're not going to kiss me like that infront of him." I say, then ask for my phone and after he give it to me, I start walking around in the big house and start with my first call. I start with Kyle because he is the one with a million missed calls.
"I'm not dead, there's no need to call a million times." I say as soon as he answers.
"Then you should answer your phone more and probably send me your address so that I can come and check on you." He says also skipping greetings.
"Sorry, I've kinda been in a funk." I say to him.
"Yeah I heard. So Matt called me yesterday with some strange things." I knew he was going to say that. I don't even know where Matt got his number.
"Matt should stay out of my life and my office. Did he tell you he called me a cunt and a cheat and a slut infront of the whole office?' with the silence coming from the other side of the phone, I know that he only said his lying side of the story.
"
"No, he only mentioned you dating your boss, which you eluded the last time we spoke. And how you sent his dogs to throw you out of the office." He continues.
"Noi didn't, Jason was only defending him because Matt was manhandling me. Then he called me a slut and Jason threw a punch to his face. He lied to you." I say defending myself.
I know I don't need to though. I know Kyle believe me and he is going to confront Matt. After my call with him, I call my other brothers with my mom being last.
