something
casual for a change.
Back in the Royal Penthouse Suite I walk to the table and
put my bag down on one of the chairs and turn to look at Matt, he hasn't spoken
to me since we set off from the Zoo over half an hour ago.
"Sorry Case, I'll be back with you soon, I've got a
few things I have to take care of." He kisses me on the cheek and makes
his way up the stairs to the second story of the suite, once upstairs I hear a
door slam shut, the bang startling me.

Matt
What a shitty fucking ending to the perfect day.
I scroll through my contacts to find my brother James, and
dial. The first attempt goes straight to voicemail.
"Answer the fucking phone God Dammit!"
On the third attempt he finally answers.
"Hey Matt, what's up?" I look at my watch and
realize that it's 6pm here so it will be around 10am in Cali. The lazy bastard
has probably just got out of bed.
"Fucking Jess has been ringing Kate to check up on
me!" I fume.
"She tried calling me yesterday but I avoided her
calls." James sighs. "Then she tried grilling Grace and all she told
her was that you’re in the UK working on a big deal."
"I've had nonstop texts and emails from her, she
won't fucking leave me alone!" I stop myself from picking up the chair in front
of the dressing table to throw it. Instead I sit down on the end of the bed and
put my head in my hand and rub my forehead. Think Matt think. "She's
insisting the child is mine." I blow.
"I've heard. She's told everyone. Grace asked her to
take a DNA test to prove it and save all the drama but she wasn't prepared to
do so. Honestly Matt, do you think the baby’s yours?" Concern in his
voice.
"I honestly don't know, James." I exhale the
breath I didn't realize I was holding. "She told me she was on a contraceptive
injection."
"She could have tricked you, you know what women like
her are like. They try anything and everything to get a sparkly ring; maybe she
thought she could trap you with a baby."
"Fucking slut." Is all I can manage.
"We will sort it when you get home; we have a good
team of people around us." He keeps his voice cool. "How is the deal
going? I've had regular updates from the team but I haven't heard much from
you."
Oh shit. I hope they haven't mentioned anything about me
and Case spending a few days together.
"Things are going well; we've spent the past few days
going over figures and the agreements." I have been going over figures,
but not the type he is thinking of.
"That's good. Look I've got to go. I have a meeting
with Derek in five. See you in a couple days."
And the line goes dead.
The next person I call is Kate. She answers straight away.
"Hi Matt, How are you?"
"Fine, look, if anybody calls, whether it is James or
Jess, anyone, do not tell them where I am. Is that clear?"
"Yes, of course, Ma-"
I cut her off "Good. See you soon." I end the
call.
I throw my cell to the floor and put my head in my hands.
What
if the child is mine? I always said I never wanted children. I'm not worthy to
be a father and I certainly am not ready.
I
should of known what she was like when I first started fucking with her a few
years back..

Casey
I don’t know how much longer Matt will be but I’m not
sitting around like a fool waiting for him, I make my way up the spiral staircase
to the luxury bathroom. I notice the closed door of the master bedroom and walk
past.
Once inside the bathroom I close the door, but don’t lock
it and start to fill the tub. I look to the toiletry shelf and pick up the
bottle of luxury relaxation bubble bath and pour half of it in before sliding
my jeans off.
Just as I pull my shirt off over my head I hear the bathroom
door open. I turn to face an agitated looking Matt. His eyes travel down my
body and back up to my tits which sit nicely in a red bra.
I watch him as he starts towards me and he stops when his
face is inches away from mine.
“Hi,” I whisper.
He doesn’t reply. Instead he moves forward and
