Chapter 12
CONNIE'S P.O.V
I started putting a few more hours in at work, trying to earn just enough to scrape by. It had gotten to the point, where I used as little a water, heating, electricity and phone as possible. At night, I spent my time, sat in semi darkness, with just the little bit of light from the street lamp, shining through my window, instead of having long soaks in the bath and shower, I began having quick, straight to the point showers, and as for the phone, well I simply only accepted incoming calls, whenever I wanted to talk to my mom, I sent her an email via Pacey, with some stupid excuse that I had been too busy to call or something like that. However when the ducks came around, I tried acting as normal as possible, making excuses such as I hadn't had chance to go shopping yet, or I was feeling hot. They seemed to buy it every single time, but I knew my lies and excuses would wear thin one day.
I returned home after another long days labour, I was hot, tired and clammy, but the instant I walked into my apartment, I was grabbing for my jacket. It felt like an ice castle. With minimum lighting, I headed for the fridge, hoping there was something in there that would take my fancy. There wasn't, but I grabbed for first edible thing I could and headed to the living room, where I began leafing through, yet another stack of bills.
"Hey Con's... Jesus, it's more like the ice rink in here, than the ice rink". Adam said as he headed to sit next to me.
"I'm hot". I replied.
"Then why have you still got your jacket on then"?
"Because I've just gotten in from work". I answered. I could see him thinking of a response.
"You weren't supposed to be working today, Tuesday is your day off". He told me, triumphantly.
"Someone called in sick, I had to cover. Anyway what's with the 20 questions"? I was getting a little annoyed by all the inquisition.
"There's something going on with you, and don't say there isn't because there is. You're always hot, yet when I come round your wearing god knows how many layers, you hardly ever have food in the fridge, you work more than usual and you sit in almost complete darkness at night. What's going on with you"?
"Have you been watching me or something"? I bit back, standing up and heading for the kitchen.
"No, I've just picked up on them over the past few weeks. Tell me, what is going on"? He followed me.
"Nothing". I yelled at him.
"Doesn't sound like it". He really was pushing me now.
"Even if there was something going on, which there isn't, it wouldn't concern you, so what would it matter"?
"It would matter because I care about you. You are carrying our baby, and you're my friend, airgo I would want to know if something was bothering you". He retaliated.
"Ok, you wanna know what's up, I have BILLS coming out of my ears, I have one shitty job that only just pays enough to pay the bills, I'm working all the hours God can send to try and pay for everything. I haven't said anything because I don't want Julie or any of the ducks to feel sorry or guilty for me". I wept, throwing a handful of bills onto the table.
"Oh, Connie, why didn't you say anything sooner. I'd have helped you out". He told me, stepping closer to me.
"I don't want charity Adam". I stepped away from him.
"It isn't charity. It's one friend helping out another friend". He managed to get close enough to hug me.
"Yes it is Adam".
"Ok, so if you don't want financial help, what do you want"?
"I want you not to say anything to Julie about this, or anyone else for that matter".
"Ok, I can do that. But what are you going to do, to solve this"?
"I don't know. Find a room mate, get a different job".
"Let me save you the time, I'll move in with you". He said, making it sound so simple.
"What"?
"I said, I'd move in with you". He repeated.
"But you have an apartment".
"I know, but my brothers got this new girlfriend, she's already practically living with us and I was going to suggest we moved into together anyway, after the baby was born, so that you weren't the only one getting up at night and stuff".
"And you really want to move in, with a moody cow like me". A smile crept onto my face.
"Yeah". He answered.
I leapt into a hug with him, holding him tightly. Thanks to him, most of my money troubles were over. As I held his masculine frame, I never wanted to leave his arms. I felt so right there, so happy, protected and knew nothing bad could possibly happen to me in his arms.
"Thank you". I pulled my head back a little, to stare into his deep blue eyes. I stood there, completely tantalized by these blue eyes, slowly I leant forward and kissed him gently, but this time, I knew I wanted it more than anything else in the world. There were no hesitation between either of us. I slowly stepped backwards, but our lips never parted Suddenly, I felt myself fall backwards, and quickly realised it was the back of the sofa. I began laughing immediately, along with Adam. Without even thinking, I sat up and began kissing Adam over the back of the sofa. I was so happy, and couldn't believe it.
So what do you think? PLEASE R&R!!!!!
