BASHing Trinity novel Chapter 35

(*) Flashback

TRINITY

Loving so much it hurts, being lied to hurts a lot. But I can feel everything we shared these last three months was real. How could he do this to me?

What should I do now? I've no place to go. I finally decided to move in with Bash last month when he's been bugging me that I should stay with him for good just a week before I moved in. I gave my apartment to Luke and Ryker, and now I'm homeless.

"Tri, I was thinking this many times. I think we should stay together."

My fork freezes in my mouth. The dessert is delicious, and I can't get enough of it.

"What can you say?" He looks at me across the table.

I pull the fork out of my mouth and swallow the panna cotta. It melts in my mouth, and the aroma of rum fills in my nose. But I'm I almost choked at Bash' words, not the dessert I'm devouring.

"Come again?" I'm such a stupid like I didn't comprehend what he said.

"I said I want you to move in with me," he says slowly, his eyes sparkles. His smile widens, reaches for my hand, and caresses each knuckle.

"Please, say yes?" How can I say no when he's looking at me like I'm his most precious gem in the world.

"Yes, I'd love to."

He grins. "Thank you, Tri. I'll send a service to fix your things."

"Wait, when?"

"Now."

My mouth gapes.

"Yes. Now, baby."

"Why such in a hurry?"

"Do you have some things you want to take care of yourself?"

I shake my head.

"One more thing."

I instantly look at him. "Yeah?"

"How's your appointment yesterday?"

I breathe deeply, leaning my back to the chair. "It's fine." I know he's not convinced. The way he looks at me, he knows something is not right.

"Trinity, tell me, please?" He reaches for my hand again, squeezing them.

"I have an inverted uterus," I say quietly.

"Meaning?" there is a panic in his voice and his looks too.

I shrug.

"Do we need to see another doctor?"

I shake my head.

"Baby, I need more details about that. I should've come with you." He sounds disappointed.

After explaining and discussing with him for about thirty minutes, he finally nods, but his brows are still creasing. "But we can still have a baby, right?"

I feel my mouth dries instantly. I never thought of Bash asking that sooner.

"Yeah. We still have a chance, but there—"

"But there is a possible complication during labor. I get that, Trinity." He swallows and looks sad.

"I wanted to have a baby, Tri, but I can still wait until you're ready, and if it scares you during labor, I would understand. I'm glad you're not having pain during sex."
