Sorry it has taken a long time to get this next chapter up. I have had a lot going on personally so finding time to sit and write has been tough. Enjoy and please leave a review please. - Em
Saying goodbye to each other was different this time. There were a lot of small kisses and lots of hugging. Neither wanted to let go of each other knowing that our last 24 hours of joyful bliss could be coming to an end. Within the last 24 hours we had ridden an emotional roller coaster with no signs of it stopping. The excitement of telling Matt about Kelly Junior and being able to see the excitement in Matt and being able to sleep an entire night together just holding each other and dreaming of our future, but then come to find out after saying goodbye to Matt and sending him home to deal with Beth all those hopes and dreams might all be dashed if Beth is really pregnant. I trust Matt with every fiber of my being, I know he isn't lying about the last time sleeping with Beth. I know that she is a scamming hoe bag that would want to keep Matt to herself. With that my tummy started growling, I knew I should go eat something but I was too nervous.
It had been 2 hours since Matt left me. He said he would call or text me after he speaks with her. He thought that she would be home shortly after he got home. I wanted to text him to see if anything was going on but I needed to give him his space too. I finally gave up sitting on the couch waiting for my phone to ring or ding with a text. I was nervous and still had an hour before I needed to start getting ready for the gala. I decided I was going to do what I do best when I am nervous, I make something. I looked in the pantry and pulled out everything I needed to make some chocolate chip cookies knowing that those were Matt's favorite.
Before I knew it I had whipped up a double batch of cookies and they were cooling on the counter and I had the kitchen cleaned up and dishes all washed and put away already. I was just wiping off the counter when I heard my phone ding. I jumped with lighting speed to the table and grab my phone and look at the text.
Kelly: Have you heard from Matt yet?
Gabby: No :(
Kelly: That stinks he left the house like 3 hours ago
Gabby: I know and I am getting antsy waiting for him
Kelly: I can only imagine. What kind of treats did you bake?
Gabby: What do you mean?
Kelly: You always bake when you are nervous
Gabby: you know me too well. I baked a double batch of Chocolate Chip cookies
Gabby: Where are you? You need to get all pretty for ladies tonight you take longer to get ready than me.
Kelly: Ha! You are funny! I am just leaving the Mall. I decided I wanted a new tie for tonight. I will be home in 15
Gabby: Drive safe
Passing around the kitchen and living room I wanted to text Matt just to see what was going on. The longer I waited the longer I felt that something was wrong. This is not how I wanted this night to go. I wanted to hang out with my friends and have a great time. I didn't want to be stressing about bar slut walking in on Matts arm. Finally I gave in as I was walking into my bedroom to start getting ready I sent him a text.
Gabby: Everything ok? I haven't heard from you and I thought I would by now. I need to get ready for the gala. I hope everything is going as planned. Call or text and I will see you at the gala.
I sat down on the edge of my bed set my phone down and plugging it in to ensure I had a full charge so I can take some pictures and if needed talk to my baby daddy. With a big sign I stood up and walked into the bathroom to start getting ready.
After about 45 minutes my hair was done in soft curls that hung just around my face and brushed my shoulders, my make up was flawless, and all I had to do was put on my dress and shoes. Just was I was pulling my dress over my head I heard on knock on my door. I had butterflies in my stomach hoping that it would be Matt showing up to surprise me.
"Come in" I shouted through the door
The door opened slowly and in walked Brett.
"With the look on your face I am thinking you were expecting it to be someone else?"
"Yeah sorry, I was hoping it was Matt, I am waiting for him to call or text or show up after he talked with Beth."
With a puzzled look on her face Sylvie said "What do you mean talk with Beth? What has been going on with you guys? I feel like we haven't talked forever about this."
I grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit on the bed with me. "So… the last 24 hours have been crazy and I haven't had a chance to tell you anything that has been going on. I am such a crappy friend. You have been there for me and I need you to support me because right now I am feeling pretty down."
Sylvie reached over and pulled Gabby into a side hug and listened as Gabby talked about what has happened with Matt showing up on her doorstep last night, telling him about Kelly Junior and Matt spending the night. How they went shopping and then the bomb he dropped on her before he left earlier today.
"Wow Gabby! I can't believe you are aren't in a puddle of tears. You are doing so well considering the circumstances."
"Thank you and I truly believe him when he says Beth is lying, it's just the waiting that is killing me. I finally gave in and sent him text checking in and I still haven't heard back. I am getting worried that something is wrong."
"What are you thinking? Like he is hurt or she is being unreasonable or she really is pregnant, which would be your worst fear."
"All of the above I guess, I am just frustrated that I can't control this. I wish I could be a fly on the wall listening to them."
After looking over at the clock I grabbed my shoes from my closet slip them on and reached for my purse and cell phone. "We are two hot chicks that work for the Chicago Fire Department, lets go show those boys what under our ugly uniforms and bunker gear and strut our stuff. We look hot tonight and we need to have some fun."
Linking arms, Sylvie showed "Hell yes we are! Let's go see if our date is all done primping himself for all the ladies."
We were laughing as we walked down the hall past Kelly's room. I peeked in and noticed he wasn't in there so we continued downstairs. As we were walking down the step we heard a whistle and catcalls coming from the kitchen. Kelly was sitting on the bar stool waiting for his dates.
"You both look beautiful." He walked over to each of us and gave us each a kiss on the cheek and offered his arm out for both us to walk out to his car.
"Sylvie Brett we have a true gentleman escorting us to the gala tonight. We stopped as we walked out the front door and noticed the stretch limousine parked out front. Brett and I looked and the limo then turned and looked at Kelly. "Shut up! Seriously Kelly you did this for us! We get to ride in style."
"Only the best for my ladies." He chuckled.
"Was this your new tie you were getting at the mall?"
"Maybe?"
I reached up and gave Kelly a kiss on his cheek leaving my lipstick on him.
We starting walking toward the limo and I elbowed him "Your ladies huh? I think my baby daddy might have something to say about that, but since we still haven't heard from him for 5 hours I guess I am all yours tonight."
Wrapping his arm around by shoulders and giving me a kiss on my temple Kelly looked at me and stopped me from walking "He will get in touch with you. Have faith Dawson! That man loves you more than life itself and now that he knows about Kelly Junior, he won't let anything stand in his way to be with you. He is doing what you asked and he promised he would do. Have some faith in him."
I mumbled under my breath as we walked up to the limo driver "I just want some form of communication from him. I feel like something is up. It shouldn't be taking this long." He just reached the door handle and greeted us. "Evening ladies and gentleman, you look lovely this evening. I am Corey and I will be driver tonight. Please let me know if you need anything. We have a fully stocked mini bar and snacks. Once you get in, I will give you a few minutes to get settled and your drinks and then we will take you to you event. Are you ready for a fun evening tonight?"
"Yes we are. Corey, Would you mind taking a picture of us before we get in?" Kelly asked as he handed him his cell phone.
"Of course sir"
Once we got a few pictures snapped, Corey opened the door and I felt Kelly's hand on the small of my back as I went to get into the limo first with Sylvie and Kelly right behind me.
I sat in the plush leather seats and noticed the stocked mini bar with beer, wine and of course water for the pregnant lady. I was secretly hoping that Matt would be waiting in the limo for us waiting to surprise me. Kelly and Sylvie were getting their drinks ready and Kelly handed me a water. I sat back and reached for my phone to check and see if I had a missed called or text that I didn't hear, knowing that I didn't. I decided to snap a couple of pictures of Kelly and Brett, they were having a good time together. I think they would make a cute couple but Kelly has no plans of settling down anytime soon, so he says, but he already took a huge step in buying a house. I am secretly rooting for them as a couple. They are both my best friends and I would like to see them happy together. I was taken from my daydream when the door next to me was opened suddenly and in slide a very familiar face.
"Matt! What are you doing here?"
"Kelly and I were planning this today, that is why I have been MIA and avoiding you." He slid into the seat next to me and gave me a nice long passionate kiss. "God I have missed you."
"I have missed you too but what the hell happened today? Did you talk with Beth?" I was angry about the situation and Matt started to pull away a little bit.
"I don't want you to be mad at me, I wanted to surprise you with a fun evening for the two of us."
"What do you mean the two of us? Kelly and Sylvie took that as their que and opened up the door and slide out of the limo and started walking toward Kelly's car.
After the door was shut, Matt pulled me into his lap and started kissing me. I couldn't resist him and be upset with him anymore. I went with it. I felt my dress start sliding up my legs and that gave me just the amount of room to make a move and straddle Matt's lap. With my dress up around my waist and I was glad I had picked out a dress that was flowing instead of tight and fitted. I felt his need for me and I kept on rubbing him very gently knowing the affect I was having on him. I started kissing him again and slowly ended the kiss and looking into his deep blue eyes "So"
I felt my hands being entwined with his and his thumb started making small circles on my hand. "So."
At this point I didn't know if he had good news or bad news or was just trying to tease me, but I was starting to get annoyed. I gave him a raised eyebrow look and pulled away just a bit. I wanted him to know that I have had enough waiting.
"I went home and I talked with Beth
