just don’t know what to think.” She started to cry. I can see her pregnancy hormones were in full force. I am surprised she held it together this long. I would have been bawling my eyes out just coming home to see my house a mess like hers was.
“Oh Lillian,” I pulled her into a hug. “I am sure he is just scared. He is used to being a single guy with no attachments. I think he may feel something for you but he is just not quite sure how to express it or get past the part where you are having a baby thing. I am sure he will come around Lily pie. Just give him time.” She nodded and went on to eat her pizza.
I decided I would send Dex a quick text telling him thanks.
Me: Thanks for the pizzas. Tell Rob thanks too. It’s just what we needed I will give you a call on my way home later. Love you.
He didn’t text back but I am sure he was busy.
We were all sitting on the kitchen floor eating our pizzas and carrying on casual conversations with the kids. Just as we were cleaning up the pizza mess there was another knock on the door. This time I answered to find a delivery man asking for me to sign for the delivery. I wasn’t sure what Lillian had ordered but I went ahead and signed for it. The delivery guy handed me a note which I assumed was the receipt then the guy went to his truck and pulled open the back door and you could see the back filled top to bottom with furniture.
I looked down at what I was holding and it was a note similar to the ones on the pizza boxes. It was from Rob. Did Rob buy Lillian all new furniture? This is unbelievable.
“Lillian you better come here.” Looks like my buddy Rob is a big fat liar when he says he just wants to be friends. What kind of friend buys another friend a house full of furniture?
Lillian,
No pregnant woman should be left to deal with all the stress you have had to deal with the past two days. Please accept this as a gift. There is a no return policy so you are kind of stuck with it all. You can thank me later when I head to town with Dexter in a few weeks by cooking me dinner. I want you comfortable with everything you need. These guys will take care of setting up everything so you don’t have to lift a finger. All you have to do is show them where to put it. Look forward to seeing you soon darlin.
Love, Rob
Lillian and I watched as the delivery guys brought in a whole set of living room furniture. Then a whole new cherry wooden bedroom suit, a new kitchen table, and then last but not least a whole nursery set complete with a crib dresser and changing table. Yes Rob definitely had to be feeling something other than friendship towards Lillian.
To make it easier for the delivery guys to get everything set up we said our goodbyes to Lillian and I loaded up the kids and headed home for the night.
Chapter SEVENTEEN
Dexter
I figured Courtney would call me back soon so I didn’t bother texting her back at the time. I was sitting here with Rob who was confused as hell about his actions and buying Lillian all that stuff, but I wasn’t going to say anything the guy would figure it out on his own.
I haven’t had much time to talk to Courtney since she left yesterday and I am missing her like crazy. So much that I have been tempted to fly out on the next plane just to see her for a few minutes and then grab a flight back home. It would be worth it even if it was just an hour or so with her.
My phone finally rings and I leave a brooding Rob alone in the kitchen and head to my room for some privacy.
“Hey Baby, how are you?” I answer.
“I am good. Just leaving Lillian’s house I wanted to call on my way home because the second I get home I am going to be busy getting everyone settled in and then I am heading to bed myself. I am exhausted.” She sounded so tired I wish I could be there to help her out with getting the kids settled in. She shouldn’t have to do it all alone.
“I miss you so much Courtney. You sound tired baby. You should really
