I must have slept for a while and__“How did I get here?” I asked myself, looking around but Lucas wasn't in sight so where could he be? As I got down from the bed, I couldn't help but think he carried me when I was asleep. My stomach felt warm and my cheeks.“Not now.” I whispered and palmed my face.“I see you're awake.” Lucas said, walking into the room and of course with his phone in his hand.

Tell me is this an embarrassment to you?” He fired angrily.“She practically called you babe what did you expect me to do? Have another woman call my husband babe while I watch?” I asked angrily. “Have you tried believing me for once?
