Ashley's POV
As I stood on the porch in front of my house my fingers shivered around the keys as I tried to unlock the main door to my house.
"Damn" I cursed as I failed to get the right key into the hole yet again because of my shivering hands.
I sighed in relief once I was finally able to get inside.
Though I don't know why I'm acting like he is following me or something.
Oh god I can be so paranoid sometimes, I thought.
"Calm down calm down" I took a deep breath while constantly repeating the same words to myself which I have been saying since the minute I saw him again.
"Calm down, it's not good for the baby" I whispered again while leaning back against the door with my palm gently stroking my now very much noticeable baby bump.
God!
What is he doing here.
7.7 billion people in the world and from all those people I had to run into him only.
I gulped the entire glass of cold water down my throat before making my way out of the kitchen.
Why?
What does he wants now?
I huffed out an exhausted sigh before sitting down on the couch probably looking like a big whale but I didn't care about anything right now as all I could think about was him.
And as much as I hate to admit it to myself I was also thinking about how good he looked in his casual black t-shirt this afternoon.
After all black does suits him...as always...like the colour was made just for him.
I scowled at the thought as I slipped into our unexpected meeting today at the hospital.
Yes.
I met him.
Kevin.
"The baby's heartbeat is quite strong. But as we know that you had to rush to the hospital last month due to high blood pressure and it can cause some serious complications during your labour so you just need see that your blood pressure is always under control...don't stress yourself too much okay. Other than that everything else seems pretty much fine" Dr. Camilla said with a smile on her face as always.
The corner of my lips twitched up into a wholehearted smile as I heard my baby's heartbeat and her saying that my baby is doing perfectly fine but that smile didn't last too long as she talked further about the complications that could possibly arise during my labour due to high blood pressure.
What if something happens to my baby. I don't have anyone except this baby to call as my own...I won't be able to live with myself if I lose this baby.
Or what if something happens to me during my labour who will look after my baby...who will take care of him or her.
I huffed out a defeated sigh...only if my family was here with me I wouldn't have to worry so much about all this.
I closed my eyes and shook my head as his smiling face instantly flashed in front of my eyes on the mention of family.
No no no.
He is not my family.
He is nothing to me.
"See this is what I was saying, just stop stressing yourself. Everything will be just fine" Dr. Camilla's voice broke the chain of my thoughts.
"I'll get you the ultrasound pictures" She added handing me a few tissue papers as I used them to wipe off the cold gel type thing that she applied on my baby bump.
"Would you like to know the gender of the baby" Dr. Camilla asked as she came back with the pictures.
"Um...no" I denied while caressing my baby bump gently...a habit that I have developed ever since I started to show.
I do this thing whenever I'm nervous or tensed or should I say whenever I'm in a tough situation...it makes me feel connected to my baby.
Though I myself don't understand what's so tough about this situation after all she just asked me if I want to know the gender of my baby or not.
She has asked me this for what the second time now I guess and I don't know why but for some unknown reason I always find myself denying it.
"I mean I want it to be a surprise" I lied with a forced smile as she just nodded.
I know I was in a sour mood few minutes ago thinking about the past but after seeing the ultrasound pictures a smile made it's way back to my lips once again as I walked out of Dr. Camilla's room while staring down at the picture while my brain was constantly telling me to look ahead while walking but as usual I didn't listen to my brain but my heart who was urging me to look at the pictures for a little longer.
Which just after a few seconds resulted into me bumping into someone as the files in my hand fell down along with the pictures.
"Oh my god. I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming" I apologized to the stranger who was now bend down to pick the files.
I felt like I almost freezed on my spot as I heard the guy whispering something while looking down.
That voice.
It can't be him...right?
Yes.
It's not him after all how can he find me.
And most of all why would he come looking for me after I clearly wrote in the letter that I had a miscarriage...which of course was a lie.
Yeah right it's not him.
And I don't know if I was convincing myself or praying to god that this guy turns out to be someone else but whom was I kidding...I know it's him.
I can recognise his voice among thousands of other voices.
Though whatever he said was just in a whisper and I couldn't even make out what he said because the moment I heard him I was lost in my own thoughts but I could still recognise it.
"No problem at all" His voice snapped me out of my thoughts as he got up.
And guess what...I was right.
It's him.
It's Kevin.
"Here" He added handing me the files as all I could do was stare at him in disbelief.
There was an awkward silence between us for a few seconds. None of us spoke a single word.
I have no idea what I should do or say right now but yet I opened my mouth with the intention to say something but suddenly my mind went totally blank and I couldn't think of what I should say in such situation so I closed my mouth again.
And than there, there was...his famous arrogant smirk.
Oh how much I hate to admit it but I actually missed this smirk and at the same time I also want to wipe that stupid arrogant smirk off of his face.
"Missed me? Darling" He asked.
"Kevin" His name rolled off my tongue on it's own accord.
We stared at each other for a moment but as soon as our eyes met I looked away breaking the eye contact.
He suddenly laughed a little making me frown at him.
"Oh I'm just thrilled that you still remember my name" He said sarcastically.
"What was so funny about it" I mumbled to myself.
"Oh come on it was a little funny, wasn't it? After all you still remember my name even after the way you ran out of my life or should I say even after the way you threw me out of your life" He said bitterly.
And I just choose to look everywhere else but him.
"What? Not happy to see me" He asked making me look at him.
"Kevin" I sighed.
"What are you doing here" I added.
"What am I doing here" He repeated my words.
"Are we really going to play dumb now. As if you don't know why I'm here" He added.
"Okay enough I need to leave now" I replied trying to walk past him but couldn't as he stepped in front of me.
"Kevin leave my way" I said firmly remembering myself not to get hyper.
"Not so soon or much better how about...never" He shook his head.
"Don't create a scene here" I said as I finally looked behind him only to see Ben and an unknown girl standing looking at us.
"Oh so you care about the scene I could create by talking to you and what about the havoc that you have created in my life" He replied a little harshly making me take aback.
"Kevin she's right...it's a hospital" The girl said stepping between us.
"Come here" She added and just when he was about to protest she took a firm hold of his hand and moved a little far away from me probably so that I could not hear what they were talking about.
And after a moment he just glanced back at me once before dashing towards the exit as the girl and Ben followed behind him soon.
Wow.
When I asked him to leave me alone he didn't and now when she said something to him he just left without saying a single word.
A pang of unwanted jealous hit me at the thought.
I just shook my head because I don't need those kind of emotions in my life once again, before heading back to my place with a continuously chattering mind.
I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the door bell ring for the fourth time as I lazily got up to open the door wondering who it could be.
