Chương 55: CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE

The girls and I were at the mall looking for a dress for tonight. Today's our graduation party and we decided to go shopping for a dress. My brother still doesn't know that Melissa is here, we wanted to surprise him before the graduation party. We're going to have a night to remember.

"Oh my freaking God! I can't even fit in this dress." Zoë groaned as she looked down at the dress she was wearing. "My stomach looks so fat in this. I look like a freaking elephant!" She threw her hands in the air and slumped on the sofa.

"It's not true, maybe is not the best dress but you don't look like an elephant." Melissa gave her a reassurance pat on her shoulder.

"Are you sure?" She sniffed, looking up at Melissa.

"Hundred." Melissa smiled at her, and we all nodded in agreement. "Let's find you a dress." We went into multiple stores, looking for something for Zoë to wear. "How about a maternity prom dress?"

"Do they have those?" Zoë asked excitedly, her face lighting up as she looked at the store clerk who nodded.

"Of course. Follow me ladies." We followed her into the store and went to some dress racks. She scanned through the dresses and pulled a couple of dresses that Zoë might like.

"How about those? I think one of these would look good on you." The store clerk smiled accomplished with her work and gave the dresses to Zoë, showing her the dressing room.

"How do I look?" Zoë came out whirling around in a lilac dress, long sleeves, and a thick diamond belt. We shook our heads making her sigh and turned around to change into another one. She came out again with a long light chiffon pink dress that had us gasping, with neckline straps and short sleeves that hang on her shoulders.

She whirled around and looked down at the dress. "Well?" She asked unsure.

"You look..." Chloe started to say. "Amazing." Melissa and I finished Chloe's sentence in unison. She blushed and played with the dress. "Should I buy it?"

"Of course, you should!" We all squealed a little too girly I must say. She nodded at the clerk who smiled and went to take her dress off.

Chloe turned to look at me and spoke. "Now it's your turn, you might find something you like?"

"I'll be right back." I stood up and walked toward the dress racks, looking for something I might like. I scanned through the dress until I found the perfect one. It was ankle length royal blue chiffon dress with one shoulder neckline, sleeveless and with sheath silhouette. It was the perfect dress.

I walked into a dressing room without the girls noticing and put it on. It fits like a glove on my body, showing my perfect silhouetted maternity body. I smiled excitedly in the mirror and took it off, walking out of the dressing room after putting my clothes back and went to pay for the dress.

"Hey, did you find something?" Melissa asked behind me, making me jump in surprise, my hand securely on my stomach as the babies started to move because of my shaken state. "You sneaky momma." Melissa scolded playfully at me as she stared at the bag in my hand.

"You scared the crap out of me." I breathed heavily while rubbing my stomach. Her face fell as she looked at me worried. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. The babies are just a bit shaken up." I smiled assuredly at her and changed the subject. "Are you guys ready to leave?" She smiled accusingly at me but didn't say anything. I laughed at her and walked toward the others.

"I'm so hungry. Let's eat something but not here." Zoë moaned, rubbing her stomach and we all nodded in agreement, walking out of the Mall. I rolled my eyes when I saw three of Max men looking around the Mall like dog guards. I should have known he would send them to look after me. He doesn't get that what I want is him and not them, to look after me. It's not their job but his.

I know he's busy but he's my mate and the father of my babies not them. "Alexa are you okay?" I nodded and took a long deep breath. "We can go now before they call Max." Melissa nodded and walked with me to her car while Zoë went with Chloe in another car. We went to eat at a restaurant and then we went home to meet back at Zoë's house to dress up.

Melissa parked her car in front of Max house and turned off the engine. I grabbed my bag and opened the door, getting out of the car as Melissa did the same. We walked toward the door and got in, walking toward the living room, and slumped on the sofa. "What a day." Melissa groaned sitting next to me.

"Yeah, I know." I smiled shortly at her and looked down at my lap, playing with my fingers.

A hand touched my chin and raised it up. "I know that face." Melissa smiled sadly at me and gave me a tight hug as I cried on her shoulders again. She soothed me while running her hand down my hair, mumbling soothing things in my ear.

I took a deep breath. "I think I need a bubble bath to call myself down and relax before the party." I stood up much to Melissa's protest and walked up the stairs into Max and I's bedroom. I put my bag on the bed and took my clothes off, leaving me in only my bra and boy shorts.

I sighed as I stared at my body in the mirror and headed toward the bathroom. I turned the handle on and filled the bathtub with warm water, grabbing my cherry blossom liquid soap and pour it in the tub.

I stripped out of my last piece of clothing and got in the tub, burying myself in the warm water that caressed my body. I sighed in content and closed my eyes while moving my hands in the tub, now and then splashing my peeking out stomach.

I tapped my feet in the water and moved my head as I mumbled the lyrics of Vanessa Hudgens Say ok. I know it's old but its gold. "You are fine, you are sweet but I'm still a bit naïve with my heart. When you're close, I don't breathe. I can't find the words to speak, and I feel sparks."

"But I don't wanna start seeing you, if I can't be your only one. So, tell me. When it's not alright, when it's not okay. Will you try to make me feel better? Will you say alright? Will you say, okay? Will you stick with me through whatever or run away?" I leaned my head on the edge of the tub and accommodated myself in the tub.

"Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be okay." I moved my head to the side and mumbled the lyrics of the song. "When you call, I don't know, If I should pick up the phone every time. I'm not like all my friends, who keep calling up the boys. I'm so shy."

"But I don't wanna be into you. If you don't treat me the right way. See, I can only start seeing you, if you can make my heart feel safe. Feel safe!" I moved my head back and forth in the tub while mumbling the lyrics of the song. I caressed my stomach with the tip of my fingers slightly. "When it's not alright. When it's not okay. Will you try to make me feel better? Will you say alright? Will you say, okay? Will you stick with me through whatever, or run away?"

A hand touching my leg under the water made me shot up from the tub and looked at the intruder. I was so engrossed in my singing that I didn't hear Max coming in and sat on the edge of the tub. He took his hand away from my leg and smiled sadly at me.

"Hey." I nearly made an awe sound at the sight of him. The look he was giving me nearly make me broke, he looked so helpless with his puppy dog face. "Hi." I answered back looking down at the water, splashing around with my hands suddenly shy. Well, this is awkward. "Are you ready for tonight?" I decided to break the ice instead.

He sighed and grabbed my face, making me look at him. "I'm sorry for not being there for you. I promise you that I'll do my best to be the guy you want f....." I shut him off by grabbing his collar and pulled him toward me, making him fall in the tub on the process.

He was about to protest when I crashed my lips against his, not giving him time to breath. I clutched myself onto him as I kiss him senseless. "Alexa. You're going to hurt yourself." He managed to say between kisses.

I rolled my eyes and turned him around, so I was on top, straddling him. I leaned down and whispered against his lips. "I want you to make love to me." Crashing our lips together as he tried to pull away, but I clutched at him for my dear life. "Please?" I let out a whimper as I kissed down his neck, leaving wet kisses.

These hormones are crazy, I went from crier to horny real quick. "You can get hurt and the babies." He breathed out heavily, trying hard to refuse but I know he wanted this as much as I do. I ran my hand down his chest and tugged at his shirt, for him to pull it off. "Alexa no." He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me off of him in a swift movement.

He stood in the tub and pulled me from the tub, wrapping my legs around his waist and got out of the tub, making a complete mess around the bathroom. Our bodies full of foam from the bubble bath I just had. "Max." I moaned out his name knowing how to get him to sleep with me.

"No." He replied quickly as he walked us out of the bathroom into the bedroom. He put me down and went to grab a towel to dry me off. I took advantage of that and jumped on the bed, my legs wide just for him and ready to be taken. Gosh, this pregnancy made me so horny, I wanted my man now!

He came out of the bathroom with two towels but let them drop on the ground when he saw me, his eyes darkened as he took me in completely drooling. "Max, take me." I arched my back on purpose and clutched the sheets with my fist.

"That's it." He growled out and was on top of me naked before I could register it. He rolled us over carefully, so I was on top. "Damn you woman. You got me so whipped." I smirked and leaned down to kiss him as he met me halfway.
