hear the nervousness in her voice.
“Well, should we go and get something to eat from the pub. After all Calvin hardly ate this morning, nursing his hangover,” Ross scoffed.
“That would be lovely,” she indicated lifting her brows.
Calvin was unsure if to tell her that Ross knew about her situation, but would she appreciate the fact he had shared such information?
Calvin watched Ross turn around and make his way to the pub. He glanced at Kacey. She stood up with a small struggle due to the weight of the baby. He grinned wishing to help her only indecisive to how much she’d appreciate his kindness, the poor woman clearly had a few issues with men. He saw where Ross was located eager to have a quick chat, before entering the pub, having things to say without his best friend about, he also didn’t wish to give Ross the wrong idea, despite the fact his heart ached.
“You okay?” he asked, noticing Ross being far in front.
“I’m fine.”
“Your mum?”
“Yes, I am not sure why I am so upset with her reaction. I have no idea where this leaves me or my unborn. I did expect her reaction, so why I feel drained and alone I have no idea. She did kind of throw me when suggesting calling the police. Why would she do that?”
“I have no idea, a clear threat to make you leave. I appreciate how difficult that was for you to visit her. It doesn’t make it any easier for you, especially being…”
“Pregnant, do you need to remind me. Everything is revolving around the fact I’m with this thing,” she snarled at him.
Calvin stared at her wishing she wouldn’t refer to the baby as this or it .
“Sorry,” he said watching her walk away. His heart was so tender. He watched her march away and wished he could tell her mum what he thought of her.
He quickly ran to catch her up.
“I’m sorry if I upset you.”
She turned casually to look at him.
“It’s fine. I appreciate all you have done to help me,” she said while she waddled to the main door of the pub. “There is just nothing I can do. Not sure what to do, I don’t see a future right now,” she said lowering her voice.
“I will help you all I can,” he said doubtful of his decision.
“Thank you. I have already taken up too much of your time,” Kacey said taking hold of the door handle.
He grabbed the door from her, stopping her from entering.
“I want to help you all that I can,” Calvin said needing to offer his services.
He would not allow her to head back to the streets and be vulnerable, after all she’d expecting and the worst was yet to come. Before leaving the hall, he had checked her stage of pregnancy on the Internet and couldn’t believe how developed a baby could be at seven months, learning how much it would weigh and how it would survive if born.
“No. I have already taken up enough of your time. Calvin, this isn’t your problem.”
“I wish to make it,” he said not believing what he said.
Kacey stopped sudden and stood horrified in front of him. “And why would you wish to do that?”
“Because I care!”
Kacey turned her head, widening her eyes to glare at him.
“Should we?” he said, gaining entrance into the pub with her jaw almost on the stone floor. He needed to change the subject not wishing Ross to know what he offered, and then, of course, it was whether Kacey would take him up on his offer.
Why could he not be generous and offer his help, why do people have to judge and not see the good in people? After all, Kacey needed someone to trust and it looked like he was the only one left to do it.
Chapter Five
Ross stood at the bar waiting for the couple to arrive. They both placed their order opting for a cordial each. Kacey glanced around the bar looking for a spot to sit. She found a vacant table and four chairs in the corner, aware Calvin followed close behind her. Calvin pulled the seat out, noticing she glanced back to see Ross watching him. Her guts swirled, wondering what was
