Chapter 47
I knew arguing with him was just going to make things worse, so I walked out of the room and down the stairs. Blake was right behind me with his tray. I got to the counter and plated myself some food and sat on the bar stool. Blake sat next to me and started eating.
He coughed and sneezed the entire time. I grabbed him some water after he was done and he took his pills.
“You need rest. No work! Straight to bed and stay there. I don’t wanna hear about work until your feeling better.” I scolded and put the dishes into the dishwasher.
He just stared at me and smiled.
“What?” I asked confused by his look.
“You might as well be my wife.” He chuckled.
He wasn’t wrong, the way we were, it did feel like a relationship. I knew there would be consequence if I did go ahead with this. I had just been kicked out of my best friends life, could I afford to have something like that happen again? I had just started to get comfortable with Blake.
“Can I meet your family?” I blurted out.
Blake’s eyes widened. Why was he so shocked? Did he not want his family knowing?
“Yes of course you can. What’s brought this on? You changing your mind?” He sounded happy.
“Not changing my mind, I would rather get this rejection thing over with before I get to comfortable with you. I mean living here with you is great and honestly I want this to work out but I know that just like Taylor’s family, any good reputable family would be against their son being with someone with a past like mine. I would rather just tell them and get it over with so you can get it through your head that this isn’t going to work. If you still what me staying with you after that is your choice but I want you to see this marriage thing isn’t going to work”
Blake started laughing “oh babe. You have no idea what your doing.” He had recently started calling me babe a lot. He got up and walked over to me until I was standing between him and the counter. He put his hands on either side of me and held on to the counter. “I’m telling you, no one is going to have a problem with this. You are gonna go there to meet my family and going to end up getting engaged to me before you come back. So really think this through. I know you’ve got this master plan but I’m not joking when I say my parents will go watch your mothers show with you.”
Was he serious? The Coopers were very very rich and popular. Society would eat them alive if they find out their daughter in laws mother was a prostitute.
Blake started to cough so he turned his head and put his forehead on my shoulder. Anxiety started to raise in me. Images of that night with Vince flashed and I quickly pushed them away. Since that night I had anxiety about any guy touching me, even the slightest bit. I was okay around Rocky and now I was getting use to Blake but I still got clammy and anxious every time something happened. Blake wouldn’t do anything like that. I may not have known him long but I could trust him.
“First you get better. Then we can talk about this more. For now go to bed” I ordered and he chuckled. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss on my forehead.
“Goodnight Rosy. Please really think about this. I’m being serious. I won’t keep annoying you but I do hope you change your mind” he said and walked back to the stairs. He stopped at the bottom and turned back “you are not a gold digger and rest assured that I will break the face of anyone that says that” he smiled and walked up the stairs.
What is wrong with this boy!? Whatever it was, he was growing on me. I was starting to like his behaviour. Was this going to bite me in the ass like
Vince ?….
