Chapter 64 Shopping Trip.
Lily’s pov.
The entire time Creed and I were together last night all I could think about was what Alex said.
I’m sure she wants to tell Creed herself but it’s so hard keeping a secret from him.
I roll over and see that he’s still sleeping. He has a frown on his face and sweat is running down his forehead.
I sit up quickly and shake his arm, “Creed? Creed, wake up. Are you okay?” I ask gently.
Creed's eyes shoot open and he sits up fast, panting for breath, his head almost knocking into mine.
“Woah!” I say, just moving out of the way in time, “what’s wrong?”
“I-I don’t know. I think I had a nightmare..” he whispers, looking lost in his thoughts.
“What happened in it?” I ask curiously, leaning closer towards him and placing my hand on his arm.
Instead of the reply I thought I’d get I got brushed aside, “nothing, don’t worry about it,” he says, getting out of bed and heading towards the closet.
Wow, why would he brush me off like that?
‘Something happened in that dream… something both Hunter and Creed don’t want to tell us about,’ Sapphire whispers angrily into my mind, going into the furthest space in my mind and curling into herself.
“Here,” he says as he comes out of the closet fully dressed, “take my credit card and buy whatever you and the babies need. Take Alex and Raya with you, they can get whatever they want too. I’ll be busy all day, I didn’t get much done yesterday and need to catch up… I’ll be back later, I love you.”
He places a small peck on my forehead before he quickly leaves the room, making me feel all sorts of emotions I didn’t know I could feel.
“What has gotten into him…” I whisper to myself.
Looking down at my hands where Creed's credit card lies, I decide to make the most of today and go find Raya and Alex.
Going to our closet I find a pair of green tights that barely fit and a black oversized sweatshirt that I squeezed myself into.
Tying my hair into a low bun I walk towards the mirror and look at my reflection. The person looking back at me isn’t who I remember, I don’t recognize this version of me. My body and face look different, my hair even appears to be a different colour now.
Sighing to myself I push those thoughts away, after my babies are born I can work on myself again, for now I’ll worry about them.
Leaving the room I go down stairs towards the kitchen, if I’m right Raya will be there already, eating whatever is in sight.
As I get closer to the kitchen door I can smell all different sorts of food. Bacon, sausages, eggs, pancakes and something else I can quite place.
Pushing the door open I smile and peer inside, off by the counter sitting on a stool is Raya, as I thought, she is on here eating whatever she can.
“Raya!” I laugh, “I knew I would find you here.”
“Very funny,” she fake laughs, “I feel so hungry but sick at the same time, nothing makes these babies happy!”
She groans, playing with the food on her plate.
“Are you going to actually eat it?” I chuckle, taking a seat beside her.
“Shouldn’t you know what the sickness feels like,” she asks with a huge frown on her face, “it’s terrible!”
“Trust me… I know what it's like! But my pregnancy is weird… they’re growing so fast it’s going by quicker than normal. I was only sick for the first two months!” I say, thinking about getting them checked today from my grandmother.
“So, what’s up?” Raya asks, turning her body towards me, “you came looking for me?”
“Yeah, I want to go shopping. Nothing fits me anymore,” I say, gesturing towards myself with a laugh.
“I’d love to go! Ryan wants me to get baby stuff already,” she rolls her eyes, “I told him we don’t even know the genders yet but he said ‘who cares’, if we don’t use something we can give it to you guys so I guess it doesn’t really matter.”
“Well, Creed said you could get whatever you want, on him!” I say with a smirk, holding his credit card in the air.
Raya’s eyes widen and a look of shock takes over her face, “he gave you his black card?”
“Yeah?” I say confused, “is that really that surprising?”
“Well yeah, he doesn’t let that go near anyone, Ryan’s talked about it before, he’s only had a hold of it once and that was when he was purchasing Creeds suv. That thing has billions of dollars on it!” She whispers sharply with wide eyes.
“Wow,” I managed to say, “I can’t believe he gave this thing to me… “
“The only thing to do now is to go shopping!” She says, clapping her hands excitedly.
I roll my eyes and quickly mindlink Creed, ‘do you know where Alex is? Can you ask her if she would like to go shopping with me?’ I say done our link.
Within a minute Creed's answer comes down, ‘she said she can’t tonight. She has plans,’ he says, sounding distracted.
‘Oh, okay. It’s just Raya and I going I guess.’
‘Okay, see you when you get home, take my suv. Ryan will bring you the keys, the pin to my card is seven eight one two, don’t forget it,’ he says before he cuts our link off.
“Okay, I guess it’s just you and me,” I mutter, feeling a little anger coursing through my veins.
Raya gives me a sad smile, probably feeling my emotions radiating off of me, “let’s go have some fun!” She says with a smile.
“Yeah,” I responded with a lopsided smile, “let’s go have some fun.”
We leave the kitchen and make our way outside, as we open the front door Ryan is waiting with Creeds suv.
“My darling,” Ryan says while looking at Raya with love in his eyes.
“Ryan,” Raya says with blush on her cheeks, “we won’t be gone for long!”
“I know, just be careful while you’re out, do you guys want me to send a gaurd with you?” He asks, looking between us.
“No,” I say instantly, “we’ll be okay on our own.”
He puts his hands up towards me and nods his head “if you insist.”
Raya gives Ryan a quick kiss before climbing into the drivers seat and I decide to allow it, I’m so huge right now I don’t think it would be smart for me to drive.
She starts the engine up and I sigh thinking about what will happen during our trip.
