[NOT EDITED]

Two months later..

Katherine's POV

Someone is freaking playing with my nose while i am sleeping.

Seriously, no kidding, who in hell is playing with my nose.

"Baby come on wake up !"

Of course it's Ashton , who else would it be.

Damn him !

"Come on." He said whining like a kid.

"Leave me alone." I groaned removing his hand from my nose, my eyes still closed.

Why he is waking me up. Can't a women sleep in peace !

"I prepared breakfast." He said but i ignored him burying my face deeper into the pillow.

"Wake up, come on you woman." He said sternly, as if i am going to listen to him.

Why he is still playing with my nose ? What in hell is so interesting about my nose ?

"Let me sleep and leave my freaking nose." I said -more like snapped , before trying to pull the covers over my body but failing.

"You're pulling my shirt, you know that." He said with a chuckle.

I opened one of my eyes and peeked at him , and it was true i was pulling his shirt instead of the covers.

I glared at him using one of my eyes , the other still closed.

He was sitting beside me on the bed , his hair looks wet , he probably just took a shower, his lips twisted up into a smile when he noticed that i am looking at him.

Damn those lips looks so tempting , just if I wasn't asleep , god knows what would happen.

"Come on you lazy." He said pinching the tip my nose.

I let out a frustrated sigh before burying my face in the pillow, "What time is it ?"

"It's seven and a half." He said and I directly shot up , "Why in hell you are waking me up so early?" I snapped , i feel like kicking his aśs.

"I want us to eat together before i go to work." He said frowning , "I want to spend sometime with you because i am leaving tonight."

I frowned when I remembered that he have to go to Sydney today for work, god knows how long he may stay there.

"Don't go." I said pouting like a child, inching closer toward him.

I placed my head in his lap, "I have to." He said , not hiding the sadness in his tone, his hand gently started playing with my hair.

"How long you're going to stay ?" I asked.

"A week." He said and i felt like crying.

"Why Sydney ? It's so far." I said ,"You need like another week just to arrive there."

He chuckled at my stupid thought , "No it takes about fifteen hours to arrive."

"I will miss you." I said , he smiled and kissed my nose ,"I will miss you too baby."

"How you're going to eat there? Who will cook for you ?" I asked feeling worried that he is going to stay alone.

"Katherine , there is something called a restaurant if you know that." He said arching an eyebrow.

"Don't mock me , i am worried that you gonna stay alone." I said ,"Oh my god , what if you had your asthma attack there or something ?" I shot up from his lap , my eyes widened when the thought crossed my mind.

He chuckled and shook his head amused.

"What's so funny about what i am saying ?" I asked annoyed , i am here all worried about him and he is laughing at me.

Jerk !

"Take your inhaler with you." I said ,"And oh god , don't you dare forget to take your medicine."

"And take few jackets with you , maybe its cold there." I said biting my lip trying to remember what he should also take.

"And eat three meals a day , don't you dare skip a meal like you always do." I added ,"I will always call you to check if you're eating." I warned him pointing my finger toward him.

He suddenly placed his hand on the back of my neck and pulled me closer toward him , his other hand on my waist hugging me tightly , "I love you." He said.

I smiled and hugged him back , my heart still flatters whenever he tells me this , goosebumps still take over my body whenever he touches me.

Even after all this time , he still have a big affect over me and over my body.

And i like it somehow.

We pulled apart , his hand brushed the few strands of my hair away , "I don't want you to stay alone while i am gone, what if something happened."

"Tell that friend of yours Carla to come and stay here while I am gone." He said.

"It's Cara." I said correcting him , he said that on purpose i know , they still can't stand each others.

"Yeah , Whatever." He shrugged. "Just tell her okay."

I nodded , he was somehow right in that point.

"I am going set the table so we can eat before i go." He said , "I'll use the bathroom and follow you."

He nodded and went out of the room , while i went inside the bathroom.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror, my hand involuntary went and gently caressed my baby bump.

A smile crawled to my face , "Morning." I said.

I am now five and a half months pregnant and the baby bump is getting bigger. We still don't know the gender of the baby yet, but we have an appointment once Ashton comes back and I can't wait to know , so we can start to decorate his or her room.

When i finished, i went down , Ashton was setting the table , i directly sat down on the stool , the delicious smell making my stomach growl.

"Someone is hungry." Ashton commented. "Well , i am eating for two if you forget." I said.

"Excuses , excuses.." He said in amused tone while pouring orange juice in my cup.

"Jerk." I mumbled before placing a big bite of the mouthwatering waffle in my mouth.

He leaned closer giving me a peck on the lips while my mouth is full with food.

The nerve of this man.

He sat beside me then ,as we continued eating our breakfast.

"When you're going to finish work today ?" I asked sipping on my juice.

"By noon I'll probably be done , but I have to visit my dad first , he needs to check few things concerning his company."

"Is he still complaining about not being able to work ?" I asked because whenever we sit with him , that's the only thing he talks about.

"You have no idea." Ashton said with a sigh , "He is driving me crazy ! Can you believe yesterday he was bored so he called some of his employees and fired them."

I chuckled , Mark reminds me of Ashton a lot.

"And when I asked him why he did that , he was like why they can work and I can't." Ashton said with a chuckle.

"I can see from where you got your bad temper." I said with smirk , while Ashton smiled at my comment but said nothing.

It's really amazing how things have progressed between them, all the tension , all the fights are long gone.

They never talk about the past though, and I think it's better. It's such a sensitive subject and mentioning it would probably ruin the relation they have now.

I hope it stays like this, because since the day they tried to fix things between them , I rarely see Ashton angry or sad or even pained.

He looks happy , he is happy.

And he deserves to be happy.

When we finished breakfast , he went to get ready as I sat on the bed watching him struggling in doing his tie as usual.

"Let me help you." I said getting up form the bed to help him.

"The Owner of one of the biggest companies in the city , yet he can't do his tie." I said shaking my head.

"Maybe I just want my wife to do it." He said and I know he is just trying to find an excuse.

Men and their ego !

"But your wife won't always be there to do it for you." I said fixing the collar of his shirt.

"No she will." He said , "She will always be here to do it."

I lifted my eyes to meet his , he was giving don't-you-dare-say-that-again look. I smiled in return but my eyes were anything but smiling.

You know nothing Ashton, you know nothing.

Ashton's hand went from my waist toward my bump , "What do you want me to get you from Australia ?" He asked.

"Nothing." I said ,"Just come back soon."

"I wasn't talking to you." He said raising an eyebrow ,"I am asking my little buddy over here."

"I hate you." I said huffing , He smiled before leaning closer and giving me a kiss.

When he left I laid on the bed thinking of sleeping one more hour , but when I woke up it was already noon.

I woke up to my phone ringing but when I grabbed it , the call ended.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes before checking who was calling. It was Cara.

I decided to put my phone on charger then call her since it's just three percent charged.

I walked searching for my charger when she started calling me again.

"Hey Car." I said , waiting her to start shouting at me for calling her Car , but weirdly enough she said nothing.

"Cara ?" I asked again , I just heard someone sniffing.

Wait what..

"Katherine." She said , from her voice I knew she is crying.

"Cara what's wrong ?" I asked feeling worried , because she doesn't cry unless something bad happened.

I heard a low sob coming from the other side, "I.. Alex and I ..We broke up." She said her voice muffled with tears.

My eyes widened, "What ? " I asked in alarm , "What happened ?"

"Alex.. He .." She said then paused , "Cara what happened ? What did Alex do ?"

Many thoughts roamed my mind at the moment and they all resulted in kicking Alex's aśs.

When she didn't answer , I looked at my phone and it was turned off.

Dammit !

I frantically started searching for my charger but couldn't find it anywhere.

I have to go and see her.

I washed my face ,changed my clothes and went out toward Cara's house.

About twenty minutes later I arrived , I rang the bell a billion time but no answer.

I knocked again and rang the bell again but still no one is answering.

Dammit ! Where did she go ?

I went back to my car but this time I drove toward Alex's house.

If I am not getting my answers from Cara , I'll get them from him.

And he won't be really pleasant with my reaction.

When I arrived , I went out of the car, fisting my hand I started knocking on the door feeling anger build inside me due to all the thoughts running in it.

I will show him how what happens when he messes with my friend.

The door opened and I was ready to start shouting , but my eyes widened when I saw Ashton standing there instead of Alex.

"What are you doing here ?"

"What are you doing here ?"

We both asked the same question together , he looked confused but I was too angry to explain.

"I'll talk with you later." I said trying to move him aside so I can enter the house , "Where is he ?"

I started looking around searching for Alex , that's when I saw him getting out of one of the rooms, his eyes met mine , he looked confused ,"Katherine ?"

Not giving him a chance to say anything , I inched closer and I did it.

I kneed him in the balls.

Yup yup ladies and gentlemen, i kicked him in the NUTS !

He directly dropped to the ground clutching his private area.

He went down like a sack of bricks.

"F*ck , f*ck " he started cursing, his tone showing he is trying to suppress his pain.

"What the.." Ashton said , his eyes widened as he saw Alex on the ground, he went to help him get up, "Leave him ! " I warned him , "Or i will do the same to you."

His eyes widened and he backed away looking at me as if i am crazy.

Which i am by the way.

"What did you do ? " I snapped at Alex , "Tell me."

"What the f*ck are you talking about ?" He said wincing in pain, "This f*cking hurts."

"You deserve it." I said clenching my jaw , "What did you do to her ? Answer me."

"Did you get bored of her ? Or you took what you want and then you threw her away ? " I said , "Or did you cheat on her ?"

"Stop talking !" He snapped and from the look on his face i can tell he is in real pain.

Well , it looks like i am still good at kicking balls.

"Why you and Cara broke up ? " I asked raising my voice ," Answer me or i will kick you again."

"Ask your dear friend what she did." He said looking angry, his voice raising.

"What did she do ? " I asked, i feel like killing someone right now, seriously.

He tried to sit , "F*ck !" He cursed again when he couldn't.

"Oh my god, answer me." I said again ,"What did you do ?"

"What did i do ?" He snapped mockingly sitting on the ground , he laid his back on the couch , "I f*cking proposed to her and she said no I can't do that and stormed away."

Wait what ?

"And i am the one who ended with a broken heart and broken balls , thanks to you and your dear friend." He added, his tone and his facial expression proving he is still hurting.

Okay , Now i feel bad.

"You proposed ?" I asked ,my eyes wide opened , " How long you've been dating ? Like six months and you proposed ?"

I still can't believe he really did propose.

"Well i f*cking love her and i know she is the one , wait no , i thought that she is the one , so why wait more." He said his tone almost pained , "But apparently she didn't feel the same."

Oh my god !

What did i do ?

"When this will stop hurting." He said again closing his eyes for a while.

Ashton was silent just looking at the both of us , i can say he is still in shock due to what i did.

"You're pretty strong for a pregnant woman." Alex said looking at me and i felt like he wants to kill me right there right now.

"Maybe she was just surprised by your sudden action , i mean , maybe.."

"No , she wasn't , she just said No I can't do this and went out." He said , he looked so angry , he looked in pain, not just physical pain though.

I am so going to kill that witch.

"Maybe she isn't ready." It came out of my mouth more like a question.

"F*ck !" He said running his hand in his hair furiously, " Do you know how many women i told that ? The "I am not ready for commitment " bullsh*t speech. And now it's being flipped over to me , isn't it ?"

"Is this is the sh*t they call Karma because if it is , it is a one son of a b*tch."

This is the first time i see Alex like this , angry and pained.

I felt my heart crack seeing him like this. Oh my god , why i have to always do things without thinking twice about it !!

"How can you handle it ?" Alex asked looking at Ashton. I turned my face toward Ashton who looked confused by the question.

"Handle what ? " he asked furrowing his eyebrows.

"This sh*t they call love." Alex said , Ashton's eyes snapped toward my direction instantly.

He was about to say something , but his phone started ringing , he looked at me his eyes asking if i can handle Alex on my own , i nodded and he walked away.

I walked toward Alex and sat on the ground beside him , laying my back on the couch.

"I will talk to her." I said and he shook his head , "Don't , if she felt the same she would've said yes." He said , his eyes looking at his hands.

My eyes traveled to his hand and that's when i noticed the bruises on it , blood still covering it.

My eyes widened and my hand involuntary went toward it , "What happened to your hand ?"

"Nothing." He said moving his hand away from my reach.

"Can you stop loving someone ?" He asked after a moment of silence but i didn't answer not knowing what to say.

Because I don't think I would ever stop loving Ashton.

"Forget that i asked you that , i sound like a girl." He said with a sigh ," God i am whipped."

Oh Alex.

"Does it Still hurt ?" I asked biting my lip feeling so damn guilty for what i did.

He nodded , "It really hurts." He said , and i knew he is not just referring to physical hurt at the moment.

He leaned closer toward me and placed his head on my shoulder , "I hate you , you know that." He said.

I looked at him , his eyes were closed , "You hate your sweetheart ?" I asked.

He opened his eyes and looked at me , a small smile crawled to his pained face ,"No , of course not."

He placed his head again on my shoulder, "But you know what , you look hot when you go all badaśs." He said, his eyes closed.

I chuckled , "You can't take a break , can you ?"

He chuckled , it was low and a little bit forced, "It runs in my genes."

A moment of silence settled between us , and Ashton hadn't came back yet.

"I am tired." Alex said moving his head from my shoulder.

"Let me help you lay on the couch." I said standing up - trying to stand up to be more precise, because of my big baby bump it became really hard to stand up these days.

"I think you're the one who needs help." Alex said arching an eyebrow before standing up.

He helped me get up , then he threw himself on the couch burying his face in the pillow.

I walked to his bedroom to get him a blanket. I entered few rooms at first before i found where the bedroom is.

I took a blanket from the closest snd went back to Alex. Weirdly enough , he was fast asleep, he must be really tired.

After placing the blanket over his body , i took one last glance at him. I smiled , he looks like a small baby.

I went out of the house after that to find Ashton standing there talking on the phone. When he saw me he tried to end the call directly then he gave me a questioning look.

"He slept." I said , "Let's go home."

"Okay." He said , "Just remind me to never anger you in my life."

I glared at him , i am feeling bad and guilty and he is mocking me.

We drove back home and all the way i was thinking about Alex and Cara situation. I know Cara really well and i think she also loves Alex, but then why she acted like that ?

When we arrived home , i kicked that thought to the back of my mind , i will definitely talk to her later and figure things out.

I was walking toward the door when I spotted Cara sitting on the porch. When she saw us , she stood up , her eyes were puffy and red , i know she've been crying for a while.

Even though I feel like ripping her head now , my heart ached when i saw her like this.

She looked at Ashton then back at me , "I will just go." She said, another tear fell from her eye as she started walking away.

"Wait." I said walking toward her , another tear fell from her eyes, followed by another.

I wrapped my arms around her hugging her tightly.

I can kick her aśs later , but I can't see her like this right now.

She hugged me back, her tears still falling.

After a while we pulled apart. She tried to wipe her tears away, it's really weird to see Cara like this, she rarely cries, i really need to know what's wrong with her.

"Cara , We need to talk." I said , she nodded before we entered the house.

Both of them look like a mess.

I just hope we'll be able to fix whatever happened.
