“Amelie, open up!”
“Fuck, he’s called in the big guns. Everyone act natural,” I say, walking to the door. I smile as I open it and I am faced with the twins and Kalen. I look at Jasper standing in the back. “Snitch.”
That was a low blow. He must have a gut feeling it’s Elsie but he knows that while he can’t cause a scene, they can. Onyx storms into the room past me and looks around. “What the fuck is going on?”
“We’re having a girls’ night,” Adrianne tells him, matter of factly.
“And girls’ nights consist of two counts of breaking and entering?” he asks.
“Technically, we didn't—” I’m cut off by Slate.
“Are you pregnant?” he demands.
“What? Amelie is pregnant? We should have talked about this first! This complicates things!” Kalen rambles, clearly freaked out. It’s not often he’s serious.
All three guys start freaking out and talking amongst themselves.
“Guys, I’m not bloody pregnant, you all know that I’m on birth control.”
They all turn and look at us, and Adrianne holds her hands up. Everyone's attention is on Elsie.
“Are you pregnant?” Jasper whispers. Her face goes red and her eyes water as she shrugs.
“Only one way to find out,” Adrianne adds, jumping over the mountain of pillows to grab the test off the desk and look at it. Her face screws up in confusion. “How many lines does it need to be positive?”
“Two,” Elsie whispers.
“Oh…thank fuck! It only has one.” Adrianne cries with relief as if the test was her own.
The room goes eerily quiet. I point to the door and my guys nod. We need to give Elsie and Jasper a minute to talk before Jasper starts his shift.
We all walk out into the hall and head to my room. Cap takes his spot against the wall. I turn at my door once Adrianne and the guys have entered the room.
“I like you,” I tell him and he tips his head in acknowledgment.
Now to deal with Kalen and his thoughts on these Care Bear costumes, because we won’t live this down.
Chapter Fifteen
Kalen
“Fuck me.” I burst into Amelie’s room without knocking and throw myself down onto her bed. Why is her bed so comfy? It’s much better than mine, and I’m Dad’s favourite, so surely I should have the best bed? I need to speak to him about it. Stat.
“I’m a little busy right now, Kalen, but I’ll have Adrianne add it to my schedule.”
“Funny. If she’s in charge of that shit, I’m never getting laid.”
“Did you want something? I’m trying to get ready.”
“I know. After all the drama earlier in the week, I need to get wasted tonight.”
“How wasted?” Amelie asks me, catching my eye in the mirror of her en suite where she’s doing her makeup.
“Can’t walk straight, wasted.”
“So long as you can get it up still.”
“Trust me,” I say, sitting up on my elbows and checking out Amelie’s ass in her short, tight black dress. “With that dress, itwon’tbe a problem.”
