Forty-Seven

"What a lovely home you have!" Clayton's grandmother exclaimed while walking in with Hunter following close behind three gifts in his arms.

I felt my stomach knot up and my palms start to sweat at the sight of Hunter at my baby shower. I smiled at her "Thank you." I spoke softly leading her and Hunter to the living room, where the party of my baby shower was.

Clayton's grandmother walked away from me going to sit by other people from Clayton's family. Hunter stood close me to as I leaned against the wall "Yes, it is a very lovely home you have." He smirked whispering very softly.

"What are you doing here?" I hissed quietly.

"I brought gifts." He smiled.

"You weren't invited for a reason Clayton is home."

"I know." He whispered. "I thought these things were just for women anyways."

"It's called a co-ed baby shower."

"Where is Clayton?" Hunter asked.

"He's in the kitchen with the rest of the guys. They're eating all the food. You should leave, Clayton will kill you if he finds out you're here."

"I'm not leaving. I'm here with my Grandma, I'm helping her get around today." He smiled. "You look beautiful today."

"You can't do that here." I grumbled. "Just leave before Clayton sees you."

"I can't leave now, I have to at least go around and socialise for awhile, if not I'll look rude. Anyways like I said I came here with my Grandma so I have to wait until she's ready."

"You can leave and come back to pick her up." I mumbled "Please leave. I'm begging you I don't want there to be a fight."

Hunter sighed "Just let me stay for twenty minutes or so to say hi to everyone."

"Fine. I'll go and distract Clayton and keep him in the kitchen until you leave." I whispered walking away from him and going into the kitchen.

The second I walked into the kitchen I was greeted by at least a dozen huge men, all Clayton's size or bigger, eating all of the food.

I spotted Clayton in the group of guys and I began walking over to him. He was leaning against the counter talking with one of his cousins. A cinnamon roll in one hand and a bottle of beer in the other.

When he saw me his face lit up and he stood up straight as I came closer to him. He wrapped one of his arms around my waist loosely and kissed me on the cheek "How are you doing?" He asked softly.

I smiled "Well I mean I don't really know many people here, at my baby shower. But that's fine I'll get to know your family, and friends soon."

Clayton smiled "Is my Grandmother here yet? I have to talk to her about something."

"Your Grandmother? I'm not sure I don't think I've ever met your Grandma." I shrugged.

Clayton rose an eyebrow "Yes you have, you met her at the wedding. You two talked for thirty minutes about adopting cats."

"I don't recall this interaction." I lied casually, mentally reminding myself I still had to go and adopt a cat from the local animal shelter.

"You know the short lady, from Italy she has a thick accent. She has bright dyed red hair, and huge glasses." Clayton said getting annoyed.

"No, she doesn't sound familiar."

Clayton sighed "Christ, sometimes you are so useless." He whispered. "I'll just go and see if she's here yet myself." He pushed passed me gently and began making his way to the living room.

"Wait!" I yelled "I remember her now! She's not here!" I panicked.

"Something is going on that you're not telling me." He growled "And I'm going to see what you're hiding from me."

"No!" I yelled grabbing him arm and pulling him closer to me "I'm not hiding anything from you." I softly said panicking. I leaned up to his ear and whispered "I was just thinking that you and I could go and sneak off for a couple minutes and have you know.... Bang." I whispered in the most awkward and unnatural way possible. I leaned away from him slowly.

Clayton looked at me suspiciously "Now I know you really are hiding something. I usually have to put in a lot of effort to even get you in the mood to have sex." He pulled away from me and began walking away.

I grabbed his arm again "No, I'm serious Clayton. I want you, I need you right now. I just uh can't stop thinking about you and it's driving me crazy. Please just go to the bedroom with me for just a few minutes."

Clayton glared at me "Knock it off Evelyn. I know you better than that. Ever since you got pregnant you barely ever want sex. And you know I don't like it when you lie to me." He growled pulling away and walking quickly to the living room.

"I need sex!" I yelled as loudly as I could, making Clayton turned around with wide eyes and a scowl on his face.

He walked over to me "Evelyn I mean it knock it off now, you have just embarrassed both of us in front of everyone here."

"No. I'm serious Clayton. If you don't leave with me and go upstairs right now, I will find some other guy that will." I smirked.

Clayton grabbed my wrist roughly without saying a word and began dragging me out of the kitchen but instead of going upstairs like I prayed he would he went straight into the living room.

The second we went in there he dropped my wrist and growled "What the hell are you doing here Hunter?!"

Hunter smiled "I'm here for Evelyn."

"She doesn't need you here." Clayton growled in response.

"Sure she does. She needs at least one real man in here life."

"You're so fucking pathetic. She has me. Because I'm the only man she needs."

"Bullshit you're not a man. A man wouldn't man handle her like you do."

"Get over it, you're not even a part of her life!" Clayton yelled.

"I am too, more than you know!" Hunter yelled.

"You're such a fucking liar! She doesn't want you or even like you so get out of here!"

"Well she sure did like me when she was making out with me on my bed three days ago! Or when we were making out in the woods a couple of weeks ago!" Hunter yelled.

Clayton pushed me away from him and he lunged forward at Hunter pushing Hunter to the ground.
