Chapter 0154
I swivel around. Shocked to see Rowan standing behind me.
Could this day get any worse? I ask myself, groaning Internally.
“Rowan?” I shriek, caught off guard. “What the hell are you doing here?”
Of all the times I had to bump into him, why now when I was standing in front of a S** toy shop?
This had to be the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever experienced.
“I could ask you the same thing?” He says looking behind me.
I feel my cheeks redden, because I know nothing I say will get me out of the situation. I was standing in front of the shop and its windows displayed a variety of S** toys. It was hard to shrug off what kind of
store this was
I look back at the store before facing him nervously. I don’t know why I was nervous, but I was.
“I’m here to shop for maternity clothings and buy some things for the baby,” I lie.
He looks at me. His left eyebrow raised. “In a S** shop? I don’t think you’ll find what you’re looking for
here, unless you have other things in mind”
The tilt of his mouth lets me know that he was teasing me, which was a completely new concept to me.
Instead of answering him, I start walking in the other direction. I expected him to at least leave me alone,
but he doesn’t. Instead he falls in step with me.
“I didn’t take you for a woman who would use S** toys” he says, making me halt in my steps.
What the hell was wrong with him. Why the hell was he even bringing this up? Didn’t he get the memo that I wanted nothing to do with him? That I didn’t want him near me. It was the reason why I walked away in the first place.
“First of all, you don’t know the type of woman I am. You never did, mainly because you thought I was beneath you or something and second of all, what’s wrong with using dildos and vibrators to pleasure myself? I am a human being with needs, and they have to be fulfilled one way or another. Now leave me the hell alone” it
I see an inferno light up in his eyes, but I don’t dwell on it. Not giving him a chance to speak, I start walking again. This time I quicken my steps.
The man infuriated me and at times like this, I want nothing more than to slap the daylights out of him. It
the sarcasm.
I was now fuming. I would like to blame the pregnancy hormones, but I couldn’t put all the blame on them.
“Ava?”
“What?“stopping, I snap, now realizing that he was striding next to me.
He was looking at me with his head tipped to the side. Almost like I was a puzzle he was trying to figure
out.
“Here’s a mom and baby shop” he says pointing at the store that was a few feet from us.
I know I had lied about why I was here, but seeing the store made me realize that I was indeed in need of maternity clothes. Plus I had yet to buy anything for the baby. 1–
I stomp my feet grudgingly as I walk toward the store. I stop just as I cross the threshold and put my arms
out.
“What the hell are you doing?” I ask him when I realize that he was about to walk inside with me.
“Isn’t it obvious? I am here to help you shop”
“I didn’t ask nor do I need your help, so turn your ass around and go back to where you came from”
I had reached my limit with him being so pushy about things that no longer concerned him.
Where was he when I needed him? Now that I don’t, he thinks he can force himself in my life? It’s not
going to happen.
Instead of backing off, he gets into my face,so much so that there is barely any space between us.
“I’m staying and I’m going to watch as you try every fucking piece of cloth, Ava. You better get it inside your head because I’m not leaving until you buy what t you need”
My mouth falls open at his audacity. How dare he? Who the hell did he think he was? He wasn’t even the baby’s father for fucks sake!
Before I can get a chance to give him a piece of my mind, someone interrupts our stare down. You could literally cut the tension with a damn knife.
Hi, how can I help you two?? the sweet voice says behind us.
“My wife is looking for some clothes for herself and the baby” Rowan answers before I can, leaving me completely shocked
What the actual hell? Wife! I wasn’t his fucking wife anymore. Why the hell would he tell her that? I swear
Rdwan has completely lost it. He has gone ahead and joined the loony train. That was the only
explanation why he was behaving in such a way.
