Speak To Me
Chapter 62 –

(Jamie)

I waved at my wife as she walked out of the door, my body tense as I plastered a fake smile on my face.

The conversation we just had still ringing in my ears as the moment that door closed I dialed up Ray immediately.

"Gabriella and her dad are heading downstairs. Have her followed at a distance." Once I got the confirmation from Ray, I let out a breath of air that threatened to strangle me.

I understand that she wants to spend time with him..but why the fuck does it piss me off so much?

"J-Jamie y-you p-promised." She stated, making me clench my jaw as I tried to control this urge to lock her away in this ivory tower and never let her leave..I know..I'm fucking crazy. "Princess, I am just worried about you..how about Ray..." I didn't even get to finish as her head shook back and forth, telling me no.

Then she brought out the phone..

"No Ray..in fact, you should give that poor man a day off for once..it's like he works for the mafia or something jeez.." She wrote out, making me frown as I saw that defiant look fill her face. Was she trying to get spanked? Who knew my wife would turn into such a brat and love to defy me now..

"Just me and Daddy..we will walk down the block and stop at the small park. Then we will come back and you can punish me however you like." She wrote out, causing my eyes to dart up to hers..what, can she read my mind or something? I reached my hands out, locking my arms around her waist as I pulled her flush against my chest.

"Why do I get the feeling that you want me to punish you?" I asked in a husky tone as she smiled up at me before lifting on her toes and giving me a chaste kiss on the lips.

"G-good so it-ts s-s-ettled." She added triumphantly as I just realized my wife had played me.

"B-be b-back s-soon. L-love y-you." She said the quickest yet as I was left standing there completely dumbfounded..

Not only was I proud of her for speaking so clearly, but I was also horny as hell and completely agitated.

Now I was left standing in the apartment all alone as I made sure the GPS app I installed on her phone was working..she knows about it..she just didn't realize I check it all the time.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I ran over, thinking Gabriella must have changed her mind or wanted me to come with her.

I yanked open the door before smiling widely.

"Did you forget something, princess?" I rushed out and instantly regretted it when I saw who was standing there.

"Well, if that isn't the best greeting I've ever received.." Rylan teased before smirking.

"Why the hell are you here?" I asked rudely, making Rylan laugh while lifting a white paper bag.

"Special delivery for my girl..now where is she?" He mumbled the last part while trying to peek around me.

"First off..she isn't your fucking girl..and second..it would've been nice if you called for once." I grumbled, taking my bad mood out on my best friend. Yeah, I'm a dick.

Luckily he must've just missed her right when they went down..I have no doubt he would've joined them if he hadn't..and of course Gabriella would've probably let him..those are her favorite cookies.

"Well..for one, you never answer the phone..and if I didn't show up unannounced I would never see you. Where have you been for the last two weeks? You are more quiet than usual." Rylan asked before pushing me aside and walking into the apartment. Okay..I haven't told Rylan yet about Gabriella being pregnant..maybe I just want to hold onto that information a little longer..keep it our little precious secret. Plus we wanted to do it together.

"What is it? You are keeping something from me." Rylan piped up before reaching into the bag he brought and pulled out a huge cookie.

"It's nothing.." I muttered while stomping over to him and yanking the bag from his hands.

"I thought this was for Gabriella." I asked, making him shrug.

"We like to share." He smiled broadly. I couldn't help but elbow him in the stomach as he folded over and exploded with laughter.

"Something is definitely up with you.." He stated again, his eyes examining me carefully as I tried not to show any type of emotion.

"Oooh..I know..her dad is killing the vibe..so you are all grumpy and shit because you haven't gotten any in a while." He said excitedly like he knew exactly what was going on.

In reality, it's been the complete opposite..Gabriella is hornier than ever and when she gets in the mood she doesn't give a shit if her dad is in the other room or not..she is like a fucking animal..and I love it.

"Don't you have other things you could be doing?" I asked, changing the subject as Rylan reached his hands back before placing them on the counter and lifting himself up.

"Nope..cleared my schedule just for you." He informed me before taking another bite of his cookie.

"Sorry to crush your dreams..but I'm very busy." I said before glancing down at my phone and watching that little dot with Gabriella's name above it.

They were already a block away. Dang, those short legs can move fast..

"What are your plans? Stalk your wife like some weirdo?" Rylan asked before hopping down and staring over my shoulder.

"I'm not stalking her..I'm just making sure she is safe..." I quipped, feeling insulted by his very accurate presumption.

"How's her dad doing by the way..how is she?" Rylan asked a little more seriously now.

"I think he is finally coming out of it and Gabriella is strong like always. She never ceases to amaze me." I laughed warmly, thinking of my feisty little wife.

"Yeah, she is strong..by the way, when are you going to clear all of this shit up with Jolie?" He suddenly added, making me drag my eyes from the phone and look at him now.

"There's nothing that needs to be cleared up." I stated firmly.

"Seriously? You don't miss her even a little? As a friend..as family." He asked, causing that guilt to rise as I let out a sigh.

"I get it..I understand I have iced her out..but I don't want to disrespect my wife. She is the only one that matters and if anyone else has a problem with that, then fine..move on." I said harshly, knowing I sounded like a dick but Gabriella was number one in my book..over everyone and everything. "You don't mean that. Jolie is like a sister to you..I mean..I get it, Gabriella is your world now..but she is even more accepting of your friends than you are at this point." Rylan snapped, our gazes meeting as the tension started to rise.

"Do you have some type of problem with me?" I asked, wondering where this was coming from..I mean..I get it..I have been more distant and busy, but I thought Rylan would understand.

"Dude..it just sucks sometimes being the only one trying." He said in the most serious tone I have heard from him.

I looked at my friend, seeing emotion filling his eyes as I felt like a real asshole now.

"Fiinnee..for fucks sake..okay..I will tell you. You can stop looking like I ran over your damn dog now.." I groaned, making that smile reappear once more on his face as I fucking knew this was his way of getting info out of me..and man is he good. He can use guilt like no other.. "You can't say shit though..you have to promise." I added while looking at him with deadly intent.

"Scouts honor." He stated while lifting up his hand, making me place my palms over my face in annoyance.

"Fine..Gabriella..she..shespregnant." I mumbled out the words, making Rylan blink in confusion.

"She what?" He asked, not hearing me the first time.

I stepped closer and grabbed him by the collar before glancing behind me, making double sure she wasn't here..Gabriella wanted to tell them all together.

"She..she is pregnant."

"PREGNANT!?" He yelled super loud, prompting me to slap my hand over his mouth as I pretty much jumped on his back.

"You can't say anything!! She doesn't want anyone else to know yet..even her own dad doesn't know!" I hissed, and that's when the door opened, making both Rylan and I glance towards the door as I still had my hand over his mouth. That's when I felt his tongue slip out and lick me.

"Eww..what the hell dude!" I groaned and then I saw my wife, her dad and Ray come in..but something was off..

"Sir..there was an incident downstairs..a man, he approached Gabriella and tried to get her to go with him." "What?!"
