Her Mate, The School's Player novel Chapter 86

"That's what you said yesterday but you're going again today. I'm fed up with your lies," I growl.

"I didn't mean for it to be a lie, I thought yesterday was the last day but I found out this morning it wasn't going to be. I'm really sorry, please forgive me. Don't be angry with me, baby," he begs.

"Don't call me baby and where the fuck do you even go? You never tell me!" I retort.

"I can't tell you," Damian says calmly. "Calm down, honey, the stress."

"If you can't tell me, then there's no point in us talking. Bye, Damian."

"Amber," he says loudly after me as I begin to walk off and out to the car park. I really thought he'd go after me but instead he went the other way to the car park. Maybe he didn't want me to see him in the car with Rachel. I can't believe he'd rather spend time with her than me. Does he not want me anymore because I'm huge now? Has he traded me for Rachel? I start to cry as I make my way to the car. I feel so neglected. I break down before reaching it and Devon and the others hurry out to me from their cars. Devon lifts me up and carries me inside his car.

"Shh," he soothes frantically in a whisper. "Tell me what's wrong."

"Damian doesn't love me anymore, he loves Rachel," I wail.

"What are you on about? Damian adores you and you know it," Mia assures.

"No, he doesn't, he wants to spend his days with Rachel and not me," I weep. Devon kisses my head and hugs me to his chest, moving me softly from side to side to calm me.

"He doesn't, Amber," Paul sympathises.

"Is it because I'm fat?" I whine and the others chuckle a bit.

"You're not fat, sweetie, and no, he loves you, I promise you," Nick consoles, squeezing my hand tight.

"I'm going to tell him to come home and spend the rest of the night with you," Jason proposes and I stop him.

"No, thanks, I don't want to be around him at the moment," I sniffle, wiping my tears away.

"Are you okay now?" Kevin asks.

"There's some, um, technicians working on a light upstairs in one of the bedrooms and we don't want to disturb them so we're staying down here," Hannah explains but I could smell some lies. Something's going on here, I just know it. I nod and rub soothing circles on my belly as I gaze down at my babies that are now kicking beneath my touch. I think they're missing their Daddy, I'm missing him too. I hope he hasn't gone back to his player ways. I don't think he has but this is all too suspicious. What if he doesn't want to be a daddy anymore and that's why he keeps leaving all the time. Has all the responsibilities scared him off?

"Can you guys get me something to eat? I don't think I'll be able to get up and get it," I say.

"I'll get it, we're your servants for the next six weeks," Nick chuckles, getting up off his seat beside me.

"Can I have ice cream?" I ask. "Oh! And some cake if any's left over!" I add and they all chuckle as Nick walks off to get it.

"Someone's hungry today," my Dad notes, placing his hand on my belly too.

"It's not my fault; the babies are craving it," I say. I love using that excuse.

"Be back soon," Jason says, walking off with Dean, Paul, Kevin, Devon, Mia, Hannah and Ellen. Where are they all going?! The only person left in the room with me is my Dad and Nick will be back soon.

"Here you go," Nick says, handing me the plate and sitting back down beside me. I thank him then stop myself from taking a bite. I could smell a familiar scent. Damian and Rachel are home already? I thought they weren't coming back till tonight? I begin to get up but my Dad and Nick pull me back down slowly.
