           Ashley's POV

      "Here" a voice said next to me with a handkerchief stretched out to me

     " Umm thanks" I said thanking the lady taking it but was apprehensive to use it

       " Sorry do I know you" I asked politely

        " Oh no you don't I just saw you over here crying and thought I should give you a handkerchief" she said chuckling and tried to sit next to me when Taylor got up and stopped her

     I didn't want to look rude so I told him to allow her sit

" I'm sorry about him, he is pretty protective" I said with a little smile

" Oh it's no problem at all I understand. Especially with you pregnant, you have to be really careful" she said smiling and I don't know why it made me feel so uncomfortable

" I'm Shailene by the way" she said putting her hands out for a shake

" Ashley" I said still not feeling too comfortable with her.

Shailene ordered and tried keeping a conversation with us though still not fully okay with her I still tried to act like her company was needed. When we were done she asked for my number but fortunately I didn't bring my phone out of the car, so instead I gave her my card which contains just my business number.

" Okay well I'll call you, have a nice day" she waved at us then went towards what I assume is her car

"Well that was not weird at all" Adrianna said still looking towards Shailene's direction

" Yeah she rubbed me off the wrong way and I don't know why" I said

The valet brought back our car and gave me a letter.

" Ma'am I was told to give you this" he said handing me an envelope but before I could take it Taylor did.

" Who delivered it?" Taylor asked scanning the closed letter

" It was a delivery guy" the guy said looking confused

" Did you see the batch to know where the guy works" he asked

" No sorry I didn't" he said apologetic

" What about..."

" I don't think he saw anything let's just go" I said cutting him off

" No I am here to keep you safe not to ignore threats like this" he said facing me with a stern yet soft expression

" Now, did you sign anything after you were given" he asked the valet again

" Yes a clipboard" he said

"Oh I think I saw like a bird or something as the logo" his eyes shining like he just won a lottery

" Okay thanks" Taylor said and gave him a hundred dollar bill as tip after he collected the keys and opened the car for me and Adrianna.

The car ride back home was silent but it was a comfortable silence. It was as if we all agreed to not say a word and this allowed me to think.

When we got to the penthouse parking lot Taylor parked and I opened the door and got out on my own even if it was a chore.

"You could have waited for me" he said with a small smile

"Yeah yeah, I did it on my own now didn't I" i rolled my eyes at him

" It doesn't matter you could have hurt yourself and I would not have been able to live with myself knowing something happened to you on my watch" he said offering me his hand to hold while walking
