Pregnant Too Young Daddy Is A Billionaire Jock

Chapter 10

Michelle

There is a jarring feeling in my heart. All I want is to continue kissing Maddox, but he slips me down from his muscular torso and proceeds to hug me from behind. The back of my head is faced with his broad chest. He is warm and big and runs his fingers through my hair.

I shudder, and I think I hear him breathe a laugh. He continues to run those rough fingers over my scalp.

It’s sweet.

It gives me butterflies.

But it’s all fake love.

We are putting on a show for his parent or parents, and I fight tears when he carefully brushes my hair to the right side of my face. Down my collarbone while tilting his head.

The gentleness is killing me.

I glimpse up, and his relentless eyes find mine. He seems a bit irritated, but I have this notion it’s an emotion reserved for his parents.

“It’s only my mom. My dad must have strolled back to the car or something,” Maddox grunts. “I can see my mom walking here, though. Her name is Catharina, but everyone calls her Cath.” My voice comes out low. The proximity is making me rather shy. “Thank you for the information.”

“Thank you for the information?” Maddox’s lips twitch. “You sound so professional.”

My cheeks burn. “At the moment, I’m a professional actress.”

He pauses briefly. Those hands run through my hair again, and his voice goes low. “Is that what the kiss was?” My heart stops at his tone. His intense eyes are on mine, curious about my answer even though I have no clue why. 

People are passing out. There is laughter and screaming. Yet all I can see right now is Maddox.

I like him. I like him a lot and want to jump back into his strong arms, but I know better than that.

Keep up the charades. Do not fall for Maddox’s sexy voice, Michelle. He is probably playing with you

“What else would it be?” I ask.

The dimple on his cheek is playing peek-a-boo. “You tell me… Anyway, here my mom comes.” Immediately, I force a smile and bat away the bumblebees. They are buzzing around in the center of my belly. But now isn’t the time to be crushing on Maddox and admiring him. I have to act like his girlfriend and focus,

I was wrong about her? Still, I don’t like how she tried to make Maddox quit football. “Anyway, your dad and I are leaving to eat dinner.
