Carly POV

My mind caught up to what I'd done last night, making me open my eyes. This was Gerald's room, I knew by the fireplace below the tv. I rolled over and felt his arms tighten as he pulled me against his chest. I hadn't been with anyone since Nate.

"Are you good?" He mumbled and I hummed a yes before pressing a kiss to his skin. His cologne was comforting as if I could wake up to this every morning. I knew better though thinking any relationship was rainbows and butterflies. His fingertips ran along my side down to my hip bone. "I think you broke the rules a couple times last night." I laughed as did he before he opened his eyes. "You don't regret it?"

"No. I don't regret it."

"Me neither." He pressed his lips to mine before his tongue darted into my mouth. As much as I wanted him again I had to get up.

"Mm I can't Ger. I gotta go."

"I'll drive you. Since your car isn't here." I nodded and slowly got out of the bed, tugging one of the sheets along with me. His bathroom was double the size of the guest room. I dropped the sheet and turned on the shower before glancing at the scar. I hadn't thought about it in awhile. Probably because no one saw it besides me and Nate. I stepped into the shower and washed off, yet the memory came flooding back.

"It's a baby girl." I looked to the doctor yet the doctor handed her over to the nurse.

"Why isn't she crying?!" I yelled and the doctor looked to Nate and I.

"I'm sorry. There isn't anything we could do."

"Let me see her?" Nate was handed our baby girl. The other nurse was stitching me up. Nate started sobbing as they escorted him out. Once back in my hospital room I finally got to see her. Baby blues Nate told me. She was so fragile. I always wondered if it was his fault she wasn't born alive.

I ran my finger over the scar before Gerald got in the shower and rinsed off. He pressed a kiss to my cheek before I washed my face.

"What's got you thinking?"

"My scar. You're the first person to see it... Since well... Nate. You took it so well. Most guys hear I had a kid and think I'm too gross to get to the bedroom or something like that I suppose." He chuckled slightly and pressed his lips to mine.

"I happen to find you being so strong extremely sexy. I know you've been through hell, but you can talk to me. I'll keep saying that."

"Tour starts tomorrow. So we'll be stuck together for months at a time."

"First stop is the Bay area. My mom is gonna be there and my brother. You'll love them."

"Yeah well I'm your lawyer. Hopefully that's all they'll know for awhile. I can't have anyone knowing you and I... You know." I finished through my hair before grabbing a towel as I stepped out.

"So you do regret it?"

"No, I just need some time Gerald. I'm not ready to be in a relationship. I just got lost in you last night." I leaned against the tile with the towel wrapped around me. "I have some feelings for you. Just know that we both need to focus on our work and I understand if this doesn't turn into something. You're a busy guy. I need you focused on tour not me." He nodded and leaned over, pressing his lips to mine. If he kept doing that I wouldn't be able to resist.

"I get it. Trust me I do. Go be miss fancy lawyer. I'll drive you home and then see you in the morning tomorrow baby girl." He winked before I chuckled and went to go get dressed in the clothes from yesterday. "Our little secret." I glanced to him before nodding. I slipped on my shoes as he got out of the shower. Of course it didn't take long for him to get ready.

In the car his instinctively grabbed mine. I wanted to coil to his side or do the exact opposite. Gerald was a rapper and for some reason I couldn't seem to get that through my thick skull. There was a huge chance he was just playing along to get laid and then get bored of me. I tried to push the thoughts away, but they lingered till he pulled up to my house. He pressed a kiss to my cheek before I got out.

"I'll see you later?"

"Highly possible if not I'll see you at LAX tomorrow." He nodded before I closed the door. I walked to the front door and once inside tossed my things to the ground. The silence was welcoming as I walked through the hall. A picture of Nate and I lingered from high school on the table of photos. He'd lose it if he knew about Gerald. The tour would be over as quick as it started.

I sighed and wandered to the living room, plopping down on the sofa and looking up at the ceiling. I was suppose to be his lawyer. I'd have to tell Lisa. She'll probably tell me to marry him or some nonsense like that. I closed my eyes and gave into the idea of taking a nap after all it was much needed. Though as always something rudely awoken me.

"Carlyyyyy. Wakey wakey." I groaned and looked to Lisa.

" Why are you in my house?"

" Cause I came by this morning and you weren't here. Which means you stayed at Gerald's." I sighed and sat up, rubbing my face. "There is something between you. If James finds out it's done. You know he's totally crushing on you. He's been dying to divorce his wife for you."

"Let's just not talk about it alright?" I glanced to my phone as it started to buzz. James' photo id flashing the screen. It was definitely almost your time.
