Lennox POV
Chaos. That's the only word that describes what's happening here right now. Niall is on the phone with his publicist trying to figure out a way to navigate through this shit storm. Xiomara is cussing Blake out in Italian and then in Spanish and back to Italian again. Blake is crying like she's not nineteen and more the old enough to have known better. Beckham's phone is ringing like crazy, as is my phone. Just when I thought things couldn't get any more out of hand...
"I just got a DM from TheShadeRoom offering $4,000 for a picture of Lennox's baby bump." Christian announced.
I knew that he, Miles and Lina all had pictures of me on their pages. I didn't think it would be a problem. Until this very moment.
"Lennox doesn't have a baby bump." Danielle reminded him.
"Yeah but they don't know that." He retorted typing away on his phone.
"This nigga." Miles rolled his eyes reaching across the table, snatching the phone out his brother's hands.
"Len.. You okay sweetheart?" Brandt asked from across the table, watching me rub circles on my temples.
"She's stressed." Beckham answered wrapping his arms around me. "Stressed is the last thing she needs to be right now. Lennox's pregnancy is high-risk. That's why we waited so long to tell everyone." He explained, rubbing my back.
It was probably the wrong thing to do but I finally reached for own phone sifting through the dozens of DMs and text messages. One particular DM caught my eye.
@papimalakai: We need to talk.
Shit.
I blocked his number before I knew I was pregnant. But Kai doesn't know how far along I am, Beckham and I didn't tell anyone. Why would he hit me up automatically assuming that the kid could be his? I could only be in my first trimester for all he knows. If I were that would make it impossible for the baby to be his. Granted, he may have hit me up because that is the exact information he's trying to ascertain.
While I do think Malakai is at least owed the dignity of hearing from me that this child definitively is not his. I also don't want to risk our affairs being leaked to the press as well. That absolutely cannot get out. Ever.
I feel hot.
"Oh shit," Ayah was hunched over her phone like basically everyone else in the room and she tilted the screen to the side and showed it to Brandt.
"What is it?"
"Nothing!" They both responded quickly. Yeah that's not at all suspicious.
"Stop acting like I'm a child. Someone tell me what's going on."
"Someone named Brynlee made a post on her story accusing you of trying to trap Beckham. It's already gone viral." Micah explained earning him a pop on the back of his head from Lina.
