His Baby

Chapter Fifteen

Rose woke to the alarm blaring at nine in the morning, she forgot to cancel it out since it was a last-minute decision last night to go out. She was already in a light slumber after last night’s antics from across the hall, now there was no way to get back to sleep. Slamming the alarm clock, it finally falls silent.

Four and a half hours of sleep was all Rose got that night, it was all Andre’s and Drew’s fault. Trudging to the kitchen to make breakfast, her stomach was rumbling “You hungry?” Rose asks as she rubs her stomach. A swift kick had her smile and giggle “Food it is” she mutters and cooks bacon, eggs, waffles and hash browns, the smell alone had her stomach growling and her son kicking in anticipation for the meal.

Andre and Drew never emerged from the bedroom with the smell of food, they were still out cold from last night’s partying.

After eating, Rose went to the couch and got comfortable, she was wearing one of Drew’s button-down shirts and a pair of pyjama shorts. A further hour passes, and Drew finally emerges with Andre in tow, both of them with an ‘I just woke up’ look in only sweatpants.

“Had a nice night?” she smirks in question.

Silence loomed for a moment, both guys frozen in shock “Y-you heard?” Andre stutters out as Drew remains silent beside him still trying to process his friend hearing him last night.

“Well you weren’t exactly quiet about it, I’m sure our entire floor and the one below heard you moaning and groaning for an hour last night” Rose says as she focuses back on the television in front of her.

“Oh s**t” Rose hears Drew whisper and she lets out a laugh, she didn’t have to look at the pair to know they were red in the face.

“I spent an hour listening to your drunken sounds, but at least one good thing came from it” She says.

Andre and Drew look at the young girl with question “You finally god laid” she over cheers.

Andre laughs and Drew goes redder than he was before. “I’m surprised you even remembered what happened last night, you two were so drunk it was hilarious watching you two walk back to the hotel singing at the top of your lungs” she laughs out.

“Uh, we don’t actually remember” Andre admits.

Rose stops laughing and looks at the pair in shock “What do you mean?” how can they not remember something from last night.

“We didn’t know what happened until we woke up and…” Andre trails off, Drew was still struggling to wrap his head around it.

It was then that Rose realised, everything all clicked “You both passed out before you could get off one another, didn’t you?” her confused face now morphing into a smile which fell into a fit of laughter, she fell sideways onto the couch as she snorted laughing “Oh…my…god” she wheezes.

Drew rolls his eyes at Rose mocking laughter “Can we not, I’m hungry” he whines out like a child.

Rose composes herself into small fits of giggles and points to the kitchen “There’s some food in the oven” she says.

Both guys nod their heads and walk away leaving Rose to continue to silently laugh not focusing on the Spanish programme that was playing as she was too busy being amused by Andre’s and Drew’s situation.

The guys finally return and sit on the couch, Drew in the middle of the couch with Rose on one side and Andre on the other. Rose turns and places her legs over Drew, and they spend the rest of the day watching films that they actually understood.

Afternoon came and the boys moaned about wanting food but couldn’t be bothered to cook. Rose goes to her room to put on some comfortable clothes; skinny jeans, black convers and a shirt that had the word ‘Nerd’ written on it.

Not forgetting her key card to the room, she walks out to see Andre and Drew locking lips, Rose mock gags “Oh come on, you’ve already had s*x, hold of sucking faces whilst I’m around. I already feel sick as it is”, she tells them with her hands over her eyes.

The guys sperate and smooth out their clothes, “Is it safe?” she asks not wanting to see that again.

“Yes” Drew huffs out, slightly annoyed that they were interrupted.

“You are feeling sick?” Andre asks, he didn’t know that Rose was pregnant, so she told him, “Wow, congratulations” he says with a smile.

The trio walked to a local diner that Andre found, telling Drew and Rose that they had the best burgers.

Rose devoured two burgers and had a side of fries and onion rings on top of that. Andre was chocked, Drew was not fazed having already seen Rose eat her weight in food before.

The boys wanted to head back to the hotel, Rose decided to go for a walk and then stay at the beach, she saw the way they looked at one another as they ate their food and Rose couldn’t go through that again.

Taking her shoes off at the beach edge, the moment her feet hit the sand she felt every grain of sand between her toes, she was glad to had picked out old skinny jeans as the salt water covered her feet as soaked the bottom of her jeans. The warm sea salt air whipping around her body. Despite the fun and laughter of others on the beach, Rose felt at peace. It was blissful and she never wanted it to end, her mind drifted to her family and she knew she had to deal with it, she decided when they returned she would call her father, but until then she focused on herself and the holiday.

Some guys nearby kicked the football too far and it landed at Rose’s feet, looking to find where it came from she sees five guys running around in board shorts, covered in a layer of sweat each, “Hey kick it back” one of them calls out.

So, she did, and it went soaring through the air to the furthest guy from her. They were shocked and a second later one of the five guys jogged up to Rose “Would you like to join us, there is only five of us and you seem to know how to play” he asks between pants his English accent prominent in his words.

Rose did know how to play, she used to play football or as Americans say ‘soccer’ she smiles “I would love too, but I can’t, sorry” she tells them.

She begins walking again thinking he was going to leave it at that; however, he was persistent. “What? Why?” he queries.

“Because I’m pregnant and I can’t risk his health if I fall” she says hoping it will deter him, but it doesn’t.

“How about you come and keep one of us company whilst we play two on two” he asks.

Rose stops walking and looks at him bemused “Have you tried everyone else and all that is left if a pregnant teen mom to be? Great level of standard” she chuckles and so does he.

“I don’t want to ask anyone else, the girls on the beach keep flirting and we just want to play, you’re the first girl that hasn’t tried to flirt with one of us and actually knows how to play and what football is” he says.

Rose laughs “Sure, it’s not like I can go back to my hotel any time soon” she says thinking of Drew and Andre.

The guy was confused, “Why can’t you go back to your hotel?” he asks as they reach his other friends, they stop messing around and look at Rose.

“Because my best friend I brought here to get away from home, he met a guy last night at a club, Andre and they got really drunk and I mean falling on the floor, yelling terrible lyrics, they had s*x last night and it was so loud, my ears are still burning form it” they laugh “They went back to the hotel, so I’m avoiding it”.

They all stop laughing as Rose finishing talking “What Andre? Andre West?” he asks and rose shrugs her shoulders “Hell if I know, all I know is that he’s six two, short black hair, green eyes, and he took over his father’s business last year” she says remember what he told her.

The guys nod their heads “Yeah, that’s Andre West, he is supposed to be playing with us and hanging out, not shacking up with a guy from a club”.

Rose laughs, “Well, Drew is a nice guy, so I guess I can be Andre’s lesser substitute while he is occupied with my best friend”.

She introduces herself and they all greet her with their own introduction; Evan had light brown hair and brown eyes, Joe had black hair and green eyes, Garret; hazel eyes and dark brown hair, Lewis had blonde almost white hair with hazel eyes and Quinn with blue eyes and blonde hair. All were similarly built and well-toned. Quinn was the only Irish there, the rest English.

Watching as four played, Evan sat out next to Rose “How long have you and Drew been holidaying here?” he asks as their eyes follow the four guys running around on the beach with a football.

“This is our third week; we have another week before we go home” he nods his head “What about you?” she asks.

“We’ve only been here a week”.

“Drew and I didn’t stop the first two weeks, there was so much to do, we’ve been relaxing since” she says.

“We haven’t done much, just busy partying at night and spending time at the beach to cure our hangovers” Evan laughs making Rose laugh too.

Rose got to speak to all five guys before two familiar guys walked hand in hand towards them.

Rose scoffs “Did it really take-” looking at her wristwatch “-three hours for you to have s*x?” she requests a little too loudly, people walking and hanging out nearby look over at the group in shock.

“Can you be any louder?” Drew hisses and Rose laughs with a mischievous smirk dancing on her lips.

She opened her mouth to shout but Drew leaped forward and clamps a hand on her mouth “Don’t you dare” he spits out with a glare.

Rose looks at him with false innocence, cautiously Drew removes his hand ready to leap again if he thought she would yell.

He relaxes a little when he saw she wouldn’t “How do you guys know one another?” Andre asks looking between his buddies and Rose.

“I was walking down the beach and they kicked the ball over, I was invited to join, but declined being pregnant and then they asked if I would keep one of them company while a two on two game happened, and I may have told them about last night” she says casually.

Their eyes widen in fright “You told them I woke up still in him?” he whisper yells.

Rose smirks biting her lip from laughing “No, but you just did” the guys burst out laughing and Andre almost collapses.

The other guys are laughing and Drew looks like he was about to throw up from embarrassment.

“You’re lucky your pregnant, or I would have beaten the hell out of you” Drew says.

Rose scoffs, “Even then you wouldn’t be able too, you don’t have it in you, and you saw what I did to that b***h in the diner, I was being cautious being pregnant and all, full throttle is a whole other me” she tells him.

Drew nods knowing he could never hurt her not matter what, he had seen what happed when someone crossed Rose and it was never pretty. Drew and Rose spent the rest of the day with Andre and his friends and they all got to know one another.

When the weather wouldn’t ease, they headed to an ice cream shop to cool down, especially Rose she was only sat down at the beach and felt like she ran a marathon.

Everyone sat in a booth, laughing at a story Lewis told, no one could speak they were laughing so hard. A few other customers stared, annoyed at the loudness of the bunch, but they didn’t care, they were enjoying themselves.

“So, you switched your father’s presentation when he was asleep to a video of him dancing to ‘This is a Mans World’ instead?” Rose confirmed and Lewis nodded his head, sending everyone into another fit of laughter.

Most would think it wasn’t too bad, but Lewis showed the video of his father dancing around in his boxers, singing into his wife’s – Lewis’ moms brush while dancing painfully erotically. If it weren’t so funny Rose would have been scarred for life with those images left embedded in her mind.

The final weeks blew by and Drew along with Rose were packing their belongings ready for the plane home, they were meeting with the guys before they left, they two were heading home to England, all intending to head to the airport together. Picking Drew and Rose up in a limousine.

Resting her head against the back of the chair “I can’t believe these weeks have gone so fast” everyone nods their heads in agreement.

“If were ever in the same country we have to meet up” Garret says and they all nod. Switching numbers at the airport, Drew and Rose took ten minutes to say their goodbyes before heading towards their flight gate. The duo remained silent between the pair, listening to music and drifting to sleep during the flight, they had no words to tell one another, they both felt the same as one another, not ready to leave Spain or their new friends, but they also wanted to be home.

Rose needed to mentally prepare herself to call her father and apologise for running away, little did she know her family were closer than they thought.
