Pregnant Too Young Daddy Is A Billionaire Jock

Chapter 18

Maddox

No matter how hard I try, I can’t shake the feeling of uneasiness. It gnaws at me, eating me alive.

One part of me knows I messed things up with Michelle, but the other part keeps denying it. What the fuck is wrong with me? Sometimes I wonder if I am not as smart as I think I am.

I kept thinking about how Michelle looked when I told the guys we were just friends. For a moment, I thought I saw something other than contempt in her eyes. Her big doe eyes were dark, and I thought I saw tears fall down her cheeks.

No, no, that can’t be right. Why would Michelle cry about this? She doesn’t expect anything from me! She probably looks at me like I’m some jerk wanting to have fun, right? “Bro, you really fucked up this time, huh?” I snap back into reality as Jason slaps me on the back and then walks past me to get a bottle of water from the fridge. Right now, my best friend won’t even look at me. I don’t get it. After Michelle left, Jason gave me a dirty look and walked back into his room without saying anything, while Robin mumbled uncomfortably and did the same. It was as if they were ashamed of me.

“Huh? Me?” I mumble. “Yes, you, you big dumbass. God, what is wrong with you? I can’t believe you treat that sweet little Michelle that way. She didn’t deserve that at all!” Jason barks. “I…well…treat her like what?” I stammer. My head is in the clouds, and I could use some hard liquor.

Jason looks like he is buckling down to give me a lecture. I entertain the idea of walking out of the house because the last thing I need is to get scolded by my best friend, but I decide to stick around.

Maybe I need to hear what he has to say? “Are you seriously that dense? Yo, Robin! Get over here!!” Jason yells toward one of the rooms. “WHAT? I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!” Robin yells back. It sounds like there is a girl with him.

“Stop jerking off and talk to this idiot over here. This is important,” Jason says.

Jason exclaims, looking like he might be ready to snap my head off. His eyes are mad, real mad. “Michelle wasn’t crying!” Was she? I don’t know. She probably wasn’t. Like, why would she? I clear my throat. “What are you talking about?” “Oh, so he is blind too,” Robin

Tell her you didn’t mean it,” Jason orders. “Oh, and invite her to the party,” he adds. Party! That’s right, it would cheer her up, and she will forgive me! I grab my phone and text her frantically.
