Chapter 0020 DARLA . " What did you just say ? " " I'm carrying his child , grandma . " She rolled her eyes and folded her arms on her chest . I gasped in shock as I tilted my head and looked at Ethan beside me . I had known him for five whole years and hearing her say that she was carrying Ethan's child felt like a bomb in the face and I just shook my head and left him with her and went to the bedroom . I went straight to my closet and took out the realistic water gun that I brought with me because I wanted to prank my kids when we went back home and went to fill it up in the bathroom before walking to the living room with it , fuming . " You need to get out of here , Rachel . And don't ever show up saying that you're carrying my child when you know that you're not . " " Come on , Ethan , you and I know that she doesn't want you as much as I want you . And besides that , you promised to help me when I need your help , and I'm stranded right now . " " You're stranded . Are you kidding me ? " " Get out of my house before I lose it ! " I snapped as I pointed the water gun at her , and she ran out of the door with her traveling bag . When she was out of the door , I closed it and turned to Ethan . " The next time your bitch shows up here , I'll get a real gun . " I pulled the trigger and sprayed him with the water a little before heading back to the bedroom . " Just to clear things up , she's not pregnant with my child , Darla . I meant it when I said that I haven't seen her for over a year now , and that phone call was more of a closure about what happened between us so that we wouldn't bother each other anymore . " If that was the case , then how the hell did she even know where we are ? Isn't she from Chicago or something ? " I turned to him , fed up with all the lies that he was trying to make me believe when it was crystal clear that things between them weren't over . " I - I- She uh- " he stammered . I shook my head and went into the closet to return the gun because if I continued entertaining Ethan , I knew that I would lose all my brain cells . " I want you , Darla . Rachel doesn't mean anything to me . My thing with her was never real from the beginning . I'm a man and I needed someone since you and I weren't as involved as we are right now and I broke up with her because I wanted to pursue our relationship . You have to trust me when I say that I've been real from the beginning with you . ' " It's the weekend and I had a very long week , " I sighed as I put on my jacket . " You don't have to explain yourself to me because I'm going out with Amelia . I need some fresh air . " I walked out of the closet and headed for the front door when Ethan stepped in front of me and stopped me before I could reach for the door handle . " I didn't mean to sleep with her , okay ? I was lonely and needed someone . It was a once - off thing that didn't mean anything to me . Rachel means nothing to me , Darla , you're the only woman that I want . " 1/3 Chapter 0020 +25 BONUS I groaned as I rolled my eyes . " Are you done ? I'm going out . Don't wait up . He shrugged as I walked right past him and went to our car in the garage got inside and drove to Amelia's place . I didn't want him to lie to me about Rachel knowing where we were and make things worse for us . So , I hoped that Amelia and I would have a girl's night and take my mind off things . When I arrived at her place , I knocked on the door and a shirtless man opened the door for me . I chuckled softly when I realized that I might have disturbed a steamy session that Amelia kept from me . " Hi . I'm - " I cleared my throat . " Is Amelia around ? " I tried not to laugh because the last time we talked about her relationship status , she seemed pretty sure that she was over men . Amelia immediately showed up at the door with messed up hair , tossed the guy his shirt , and kicked him out before grabbing my hand , pulling me inside the house , and closing the door before saying anything to the guy . " Amee ! " I laughed . " You chased the poor guy out of the house without any promises of a possible future encounter to finish what you started , " I smirked as I mimicked thrusting movements before she smacked me lightly on the shoulder . " Let's go out for drinks before you turn this into love coaching , " she rolled her eyes as she walked to her bedroom , and I laughed . *** After getting a few drinks and laughing about how time flew , but the place remained the same , Amelia and I decided to go to the nearby restaurant to get something to eat before heading back to her place . " I can't believe we can't stay in the bar until AM anymore like we used to , " Amelia laughed as I pulled the door of the restaurant and bumped into someone . " Oh , I'm sorry , Mr. I can replace your meal if you allow me , " I chuckled softly as I leaned down to pick up his takeaway . I was wasted and still amused by Amelia's statement . " Do you see now what I was telling you ? She's everywhere you are . " The woman's voice instantly made me sober as I straightened up and looked at the person that I had bumped into . When I saw Elijah and Abigail behind him , I frowned as I turned to Amelia . " Can we get out of here before I lose my cool ? I'm not in a mood to beat a bitch into a pulp on such a good night . " I walked out and headed to the car on the opposite side of the road . " Darla ! " Amelia called after me and just as I was about to get to the car , someone approached me and stood in front of the door . " Darla Sullivan ! " The guy squealed . " Oh my goodness , you're so pretty in person and I'm so glad that this day finally came . How are you ? " " I'm good . Can you move ? " I planned to get Amelia and leave with her to her place . " I just saw you and wanted to come by and greet you in person . I've been following you for the past four years and your wonderful work . You're such an inspiration to - " " Darla , can we talk ? " Lord , help me . Not him again . I rolled my eyes at the sound of his voice behind me . 2/3 Chopter 0020 +25 BONUS " Hey buddy , she's talking with me . " " Who are you ? " Elijah asked the guy and when he was about to answer him , he punched him in the face . " What the fuck , Elijah ! " I scolded him as I leaned forward to the guy , trying to see if he was hurt . " Ahh , fuck ... " The guy groaned before he straightened up and left us . Fuming , I turned to Elijah . " You're the most despicable human being I've ever known . What do you want ? " " I want you . " Before I could comprehend his answer , Amelia quickly grabbed my hand and opened the vehicle door for me . I got inside and she drove the car . For a second , I wanted to tilt my head and look back at Elijah after we left him on the side of the road . ' Fuck him . ' I muttered under my breath as the car turned on the corner and headed to Amelia's place . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
