she’d finally decided to accept. She’d tried and failed with romance and it would be really nice to have someone there to help her raise her child.
    The two of them had spoken several times on the phone since their awkward kiss and were fine. They didn’t discuss it but focused on their friendship, like they always had. She was lucky to have such a wonderful man in her life.
    It was far more important to have security and love, than to have passion. She’d loved Damien for a long time and was sure it could grow if she wished for it. She’d just demand of her body to respond to him. She held her head up high with that thought. She was a stubborn person and she’d will herself to obey.
    Damien started walking towards the shop, as soon as she was finished locking the door. She took a deep breath and got ready to tell him her decision. He seemed to know she was ready to talk to him because he said nothing as he approached. He just waited for her to gather her breath. She finally looked up into his beautiful eyes. He really was attractive; she didn’t understand why she didn’t desire him.
    “I’ll marry you, if the offer’s still on the table,” she told him with a tentative smile.
    “That’s wonderful,” Damien told her, as he wrapped his arms around her expanding body and kissed her forehead. She felt like she was at home when she was in his arms and she thought she’d made the right decision. She refused to acknowledge the doubts trying to enter her mind. She also refused to acknowledge his hug did nothing more than comfort her needy body.
    “I think we should do it before the baby is born. If you want a big wedding that’s fine, it’s all up to you. I want your wedding day to be special and you know money isn’t an issue. We’ll have a good marriage and I don’t want you to have regrets about the wedding itself,” he told her.
    “No, we can just do it at the courthouse, I don’t have anyone I’d invite to a real wedding anyway,” she said a bit sadly. He reluctantly agreed with her and they started to head down the street together. Her apartment wasn’t far away. Their hands slipped together as they made their way down the sidewalk. That was a natural thing, as they were comfortable touching one another. Heck, she’d fallen asleep in his arms before, while watching movies. They were comfortable with each other, which was why their friendship had always worked out.
    “I didn’t even think about getting you a ring. I’ll do that tomorrow,” he said as they climbed the stairs and turned the corner. She hadn’t thought about a ring either, as she didn’t really think of the marriage as real. She really had to fight back tears because she was settling and making him do so as well.
    “I don’t need a fancy ring Damien, just a simple band,” she told him, right before they turned the corner.
    “What do you need a ring for?” she heard Drew ask, before she stopped suddenly and looked up at the deep blue eyes she hadn’t seen in five months. Her world seemed to stop spinning for a moment and she felt the panic start deep inside her gut. She hadn’t expected to see him again and certainly not in this situation. She couldn’t believe the rush of attraction washing through her from just the sight of him. Why couldn’t she feel the same with Damien?
    “What are you doing here?” she was barely able to whisper at him.
    “I asked you a question first,” he said, as he glared from her to Damien and then down to her stomach. Drew had thought of no other but her over the last five months and wasn’t happy to find her with another man and very obviously pregnant. Had she gotten over him far more quickly than he would’ve liked? She was very pregnant and it was either his, or she had jumped into the arms of another man right away. Either way he wasn’t happy with her at that moment.
    She could see he was trying to figure out exactly how far along she was. She heard her neighbor’s door, across
