Chapter 8

Phil and I ended up talking almost every night on the phone for nearly a month. By then I was six months pregnant and getting much bigger. He was so interesting and funny as hell. One day he surprised me by showing up to my job with some African Wildflowers. They were so beautiful and smelled like sweet honey. Since it was the end of my shift, I grabbed my purse and left the bar with him arm in arm.

We ended up heading to my place so I could change clothes, and then we went to see a movie. After that, we went to dinner at my favorite restaurant. He continued to make me laugh and showed me the greatest time ever. In some ways I guess I could actually see myself with this guy. He was definitely a sweetheart and I enjoyed being around him. Still…I couldn't help but feel like something wasn't completely right about him. I mean he had the looks and the credentials to take care of me, but I felt like he was still hiding something. That's when I made the conscious decision to keep him around until I figured him out.

"Oh my goodness that movie was so good." I said as we headed back to my house.

He laughed, "Yeah it was, thanks for coming."

"Awe no problem; I needed to get away from the angry lovers." I told him.

He sighed, "They're still arguing?"

I nodded, "Yea…and I know why."

He glanced at me, "Yeah me too. Mark talks about it a lot at work."

"He does?" I asked. "Does he ever get really emotional about it?"

He nodded silently. "I really feel bad for him you know."

"Yea…I just wish she would tell him the truth." I said, gasping right after, "Oh shit I wasn't supposed to say anything."

"It's cool Serena, I won't tell Mark anything you tell me." He said. "I'm really scared of that man actually."

I laughed, "Oh don't be scared of him, he's just a puppy dog stuck in a big guy's body."

He laughed and shook his head, "You're too much. Anyways what isn't she telling him?"

I fell silent for a moment, knowing that I really shouldn't tell my sister's secret. Then again…she did run her mouth about me to Mark…and other people throughout my life.

"About a year before her and mark got married, she had a hysterectomy." I said.

His eyes widened, "Are you fucking serious?"

I nodded, "Yep."

"Oh my goodness and she isn't going to tell Mark? They've been married for two freaking years!" he said.

I shrugged, "I know…and he really wants children."

"Damn Serena. You're sister is a piece of work." He said as we turned into the driveway.

"I know, and apparently she has other secrets she hasn't told anyone." I said. "I feel like Mark deserves so much better you know?"

"Oh he does man…you probably would have been a better pick, if you were old enough for him at the time." He said with a smirk.

I tried not to blush, "Maybe, but my sister got to him first…she normally gets to the guys first."

When he finally made it to the garage, he stopped the car and put it in park before shutting it off and glancing at me. "You resent your sister don't you?"

I glared at him, "What do you mean?"

"Well I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just wondering if you hold any grudges toward your sister." He said.

I thought about it for a moment and then nodded, "I do, but I choose to keep them to myself in order to keep the peace between us. I mean she's all I've got right now until the little guy comes out."

He glanced down at my belly with a smile before taking my hand into his. "I know this may sound weird but, you've got me too."

I turned myself towards him with a smile, "I do?"

"Of course. I can tell that though you wear a smile every day…you're actually hurting on the inside…a lot." He said.

I chuckled, "You can tell all of that just by looking at me?"

"Yeah and I'm here to be that friend you can call at anytime during the night and I'll be there for you. I'll let you cry on my shoulder, I'll listen when you need someone to vent to…"

I smiled and looked down at my belly, "Yeah, but what about the baby? It doesn't bother you that I'm having a child to someone else?"

He shook his head, "Not at all. I love kids and since that arrogant bastard won't help you out…I will."

I couldn't help but smile as tears swelled up in my eyes, "oh my here comes the water works."

He laughed and licked his lips, "Come on let's go in the house and we'll talk more."

"Ok." I said as I wiped fresh tears from my eyes. We both got out of the car and walked hand in hand to my house. I had to be honest; it felt really nice holding a man's hand again. He was like a breath a fresh air I had been waiting on for the longest time. When we got to my house, I locked my door and we went to my living room. I turned on the small lamp on the table near the couch and sat down next to him. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders, smirking at me with those gentle lips and eyes.

"So tell me, what's holding you back from me?" he asked.

I sighed, not really certain of the answer to his question. "I don't know, I guess I'm just scared of my baby's dad coming back into the picture and trying to ruin things."

He nodded, "I understand that, but trust me when I say…I can take so much better care of you than he can."

I blushed and looked down at my nails, "Ok…how so?"

"Oh that's easy, I'll make sure to treat you like the princess you truly are."

I wasn't too sure if it was the hormones talking, but the way he said that made me shiver. I crossed my legs making him laugh.

"Hush." I said as I glanced into his eyes.

"sorry," he said. "Anyways, I'm not trying to pressure you at all Serena. I just really like you and I can definitely see this working."

I nodded, "Yeah me too…"

He moved his other hand to my chin and turned my head so I was facing him again. "So what do you say? You wanna give this a shot?"

I smiled at him and licked my lips as I glanced at his lips for a moment. He smirked before slowly leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. That kiss was enough to send my hormones into overdrive. I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes as he deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue into my mouth and moving his hands down my sides. I moaned into his mouth as he took control, sucking my bottom lip gently before nibbling it. When he finally pulled away, I was completely speechless. My lip was swelling slightly but the tingling sensation felt wonderful.

We smiled at each other before kissing again, this time he gently laid me on my back and got on top of me. My body was going nuts by now, wanting more out of this man than I needed. Gotta love pregnancy…

His kisses moved down to my neck and chest, kissing and nibbling me in spots that lit me on fire. I moaned as I ran my hands through his slick hair. I wanted him so bad, but I didn't want to rush things with him. I decided to stop him when I felt his hand travel down between my legs.

"U-um Phil…I don't think we should do this just yet." I said. "We just became official so…let's take things slow." I said.

He nodded, "Yeah, I agree."

I smiled as he let me up. "Well that was definitely hot."

I giggled, "Yes it was…"

We stared at each other for a moment before he leaned back over and kissed me again. I really couldn't help myself or the fact that my hormones were raging out of control.

"On second thought…why don't you spend the night?" I said as he started kissing my neck again.

He nodded and then helped me up to my feet. We kept kissing as I guided him back to my bedroom. Every now and then he would press me against the wall and remove a piece of clothing from my body. I did the same to him, both of us only in our under clothes by time we reached my room. He shut the door and closed my blinds as I sat down on my bed.

"Got any candles?" he asked.

I nodded and pointed to the three that were next to my bed. He smiled and picked up some matches from my dresser, lighting the candles before getting in bed with me. We continued kissing a lot more until he finally took off my bra and panties. I was a little nervous showing off my body while I was pregnant, but he simply kissed my belly several times before licking and sucking on my breasts.

I arched my back and moaned, as my pussy got wetter. I wanted his body so bad by now and I didn't like the teasing.

He finally stopped and slid off his boxers giving me time to slip under the sheets. I bit my bottom lip as he climbed back on top of me, spreading my legs wide open before kissing me gently. He was very careful not to crush my belly as he gently slid his warm member inside of me. My eyes instantly rolled to the back of my head as complete pleasure erupted inside of me. He soon got a steady rhythm going, thrusting himself in and out of me. I cried out softly as my toes curled and my nails dug into his skin.

"Oh my God Phil…" I moaned. "harder please."

He smiled, "I thought you'd never ask baby."

I closed my eyes and cried out as he began slamming into me, making our bodies clap and the bed squeak. I rubbed my hands all over his chest feeling his body beginning to sweat. He kissed me roughly before stopping and lifting my legs to his shoulders. He held onto them tight as he quickly pumped himself in and out of my body. I grabbed my breast and screamed over and over as his ball smacked off of me.

"Oooh! Ohh Fuck!" I yelled as my climax built, "right there baby…right there…please don't stop!"

He moaned my name a few times after that, making this moment ten times more special. When we finally hit our climaxes, he laid down beside me, leaving me slightly breathless. I had never had sex with anyone like that before, so to me…it was the best. He pressed himself against me kissing my neck and then my cheek.

"That was amazing Serena." He said.

I smiled, "Yeah it was, I'm glad we got it out of our systems."

He laughed and rubbed my arm. "Let's get some sleep sweetie."

"Ok." I said before sitting up and blowing out the candles. As I laid there in the dark wrapped in his arms, I couldn't help but wonder if Mark and Tracy heard us. Sure I was in a completely different house, but I always heard them arguing. Oh well. A girl has to get it in someplace right?
