Redeeming Kyle: 69 Bottles #3 (30 page)

For the first time, I wear a bra. My nipples seem to constantly be hard and rub against even my tank tops. I slip into my chucks (Converse), and I’m ready to go. Looking in the mirror, with the bra on, my boobs look freakin’ huge. Though the tug on the shirt helps hide my tiny pouch that much more.

Once we’re in the car, I call Dr. Paige and leave a message with her receptionist, letting her know that Bellvue will be sending over the records from my visit. I tell the receptionist what happened and that I’m alright, valuable lesson learned. I expect Dr. Paige will be calling me later.
 

I also call my mom.
 

“Hi mom,” I say when she answers the phone.
 

“Hi sweetheart, how are you?”

“I’m doing good, in New York, how are you doing?”
 

“Oh you know, same ole here. Just working. Did you know that everyone seems to know about you and your success with the singing thing? People keep coming up to me congratulating me. I had a reporter stalking me a couple days ago…”
 

“Oh no mom, why didn’t you call me?”
 

“Pfft,” she says, “I handled him. I ignored him, mostly, then when I got pissed off I told him to go away. I haven’t seen him since.”
 

I laugh, “Oh mom, I’m so sorry about that.”
 

“Don’t be, it was fun telling him off.”
 

“Oh jeez, mom.” She laughs.

“How are those boys of yours?”
 

“They’re great, taking really good care of me.”
 

“Oh sweetheart, I’m so happy for you.”
 

“Thank you mom, that means a lot to me.”
 

“How are those babies doing?”
 

“What?” I nearly shriek into the phone. “Mom, how did you find…”
 

“Oh sweetheart, Talon called me yesterday when you went into the hospital. He was so scared. I could tell he didn’t want to tell me, he really wanted it to be you, but I can’t resist asking you about them and well, I’m gonna be a grandma.”
 

“Oh mom,” I start crying.

“Oh baby, don’t cry. I’m really happy for you. Those boys love you with all their hearts. I think it’s a little soon in your relationship, but with all the problems you’ve had in the past, I…” I hear her choke up a little bit, “I’m so happy that this has happened to you times two.”
 

“Oh mom, don’t cry, please.”
 

“I can’t help it, I’m so happy for you. Now go get that tour done so you guys can come home. I want to see you.”
 

We talk for a couple more minutes and then I have to let her go because we’re pulling into the venue. “Hug them both for me, sweetheart, and make them hug you from me.”
 

“I will, love you, mom.”
 

“Love you too, call me soon.”
 

“I will.” We hang up.
 

“Did you know he called her?” I say to Raine.
 

She shakes her head. “No, but I was talking to Dex when Talon called him. Then Dex turned around and called Kyle. After that Dex shut me out and left. Then the next thing I heard was that Kyle was over at the hospital. I didn’t go over there until this morning. I didn’t want to intrude and I knew Cami was coming.”
 

“So you told Cami?”
 

“I kind of had to. I knew with you going to the hospital, either the label or the studio was going to call her and I didn’t want the news coming from anyone other than me or Talon and I didn’t know if Talon would call her.”
 

“Well, I appreciate that Raine, I really do. I was so scared to tell her.”
 

She laughs, “One thing you need to understand about Cami is that she just goes with the flow and like she told you, she can’t punish anyone for dating a client because she’s married to Tristan, but she will step up if that relationship becomes a problem, which I don’t see happening here so she’s not going to say anything. Besides, she’s very fond of you.”
 

I smile as we pull up between the theater and the one lonely bus, our bus. Talon and Kyle come bolting out the back door right in front of us. I laugh and open my door.
 

My feet barely touch the ground before Talon scoops me up into his arms. “Hi angel.”
 

“Hi ace,” I say with a laugh. “Happy to see me?”
 

He smirks. “You have no idea.” He plants a kiss on my lips that is full of love and passion and I melt.

Smiling against his lips, I say, “I missed this.”
 

“Me too.” He kisses me again, sliding his tongue inside, finding mine. I shiver with desire and he deepens the kiss.
 

Someone clears their throat. I open one eye to see Kyle chomping at the bit. I start laughing. “You might want to share me,” I tell Talon. He sets me down with a laugh and squeezes me to him one more time, then with barely an inch between us, Kyle swoops in.
 

“Hi cowboy.”
 

“Hi panda,” he says with a sly smile.
 

“Kiss me,” I breathe.

“With pleasure.” He smirks and plants his lips on mine, hard and fast. Love, lust and devotion pour into me at a pace that leaves me breathless. His tongue slides past my lips and he caresses mine with his. Desire explodes and I moan, melting into his embrace. Our first kiss since his return and it feels like he never left, but that his love for me has grown by leaps and bounds.
 

I want him, I need him, I need them both so bad. I pull back, my breathing jagged and hard. “We have the bus,” I whisper.

He chuckles. “Later, baby, promise.”
 

I melt into his smile and the promise of fulfilling my need for him. Talon comes up behind me, pressing me between the two of them. I can feel their erections probing into me and I turn to putty in their hands. “If you make me wait, I just might explode.”
 

They both laugh. “We have to make you wait. Not because we want to. We have to do the sound check,” Talon says into my ear then he pulls my lobe into his mouth. I hiss through my teeth as my clit throbs.
 

“Mmm, seems we discovered a new hot spot,” Kyle teases me.
 

Talon lets my ear go. “I like it,” he says with a lust filled growl.
 

“Okay, if you’re making me wait, we better get going because I’m about three seconds away from sliding my hand down my pants.”
 

“Oh no, you don’t. Those orgasms are ours and ours alone.” The command in Talon’s voice makes my knees weak and they both hold me tightly.
 

“Yes,” I breathe and then they slowly let me go. Each taking a hand in theirs and escorting me into the theater.

Once we’re inside and near the stage the guys all stop what they’re doing and come over toward me. All except Dex. I watch him as he goes straight to Raine. “Hang on guys,” I say holding up a finger and I walk over to Dex and grab him by the ear. “Down boy.”
 

“Hey, come on, stop cock blocking me.”
 

“She’s my assistant,” I say, letting his ear go. “She’s not for you to schmooze.”
 

“Schmooze…? What are you, five?” He laughs. “And I’m not schmoozing, I’m working it.”
 

I shake my head. “I hope she plays hard to get.”
 

“She already is,” he growls.
 

“Good. But she doesn’t need to be another notch in your bedpost, Dex.”
 

He leans into me, and whispers, ”I want her to be the last notch in my bedpost.”
 

“Prove it!” I tell him in a whisper.
 

“I’m trying,” he growls again. “Now stop blocking me.”
 

I burst out laughing. “It’s your funeral.”
 

“Thanks so much.” Then he throws his arms around me. “I’m so glad you’re back. Fucking missed ya, little mama.” I roll my eyes.
 

“Thanks for bringing him back.” For the first time ever, I hug him back.
 

“Anytime. Now let me go, I got schmoozing to do,” he says with a laugh and I punch his shoulder.
 

I turn around and Mouse and Peacock are standing there like little boys waiting for candy on Halloween. I throw my arms wide. “Come here, boys,” I say with a laugh and they both come at me, hugging me and kissing my cheeks repeatedly. “Alright,” I say.
 

“Missed you, Red. Happy you’re back,” Mouse says with a big smile then he punches Eric in the shoulder.
 

“Don’t scare us again,” Peacock says.
 

“You told Mouse?” I whisper. He nods. I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. “I’m so proud of you.”
 

“Told Mouse what?” Talon asks.
 

I pull back from Peacock and I nod, taking his hand in mine. “That I’m gay,” he says confidently.
 

“About fucking time you admitted it, brotha,” Dex says from behind me. I raise an eyebrow at Peacock, in a ‘see I told you’ kind of way.

Talon wraps his arm around Peacock’s shoulder with a smile on his face. He taps Peacock’s chest with an open hand. “I know, Eric, but you know what?” Eric shakes his head. “I’m glad you finally told me.”
 

“It doesn’t bother you?” Eric asks.
 

Talon lets him go and grabs Kyle, pulling him close and kissing him. Kyle is frozen for a moment, but then I can see him melt much the same way I do when Talon is kissing me. When Talon pulls back, he looks at Eric. “I have no room in my heart to judge you. You’re my brother, you’re my friend.” He holds his hand out and he and Eric grab each other’s arms near the elbow, holding on.
 

I feel like crying, I do cry. “Oh crap,” I say out loud. Covering my mouth. Looking for the bathroom something anything. Trash can. I go over to it and wretch.
 

“Ah hell,” I hear Dex tease. Kyle is at my side in an instant, holding my hair and rubbing my back.
 

“Oh god, I missed this,” I sob between heaves.
 

“Puking?” Kyle says with a chuckle.
 

“No, you holding me.”
 

I heave a few more times and someone brings up a chair behind me. “Sit, baby girl. I got you.”
 

I put my head in my hands, waiting for the dizziness to pass.
 

“Just because you’ve finally come out, doesn’t mean it changes anything,” I hear Dex tell Eric. “I will still tease you, I will still rib you and I will do my best to keep it strictly to girl ribbing.”
 

“You’re a dick, dude,” Eric says back and both he and Dex laugh.
 

“No, you need a dick,” Dex says back and I balk, looking over at both of them.
 

“I think it might be you who needs one.”
 

Dex grabs his crotch. “Got one right here.” Both Dex and Eric are laughing and my heart warms.
 

I see Raine off to the side and she’s staring at Dex. She’s just as smitten with him too. But I hope she knows what she’s getting herself into.
 

“How you doin’, angel?” I smile up at Talon.
 

“Better. I think I’m making up for not puking this morning and the nausea medicine is wearing off. Downside is, there went my lunch,” I pout.
 

“Kyle, take her back to the bus, get her some food?” Talon asks. “We can handle sound.”
 

“Come on, baby girl.” He stands and holds his hand out for me to take, I do and stand up slowly. Talon wraps his arms around me, but he doesn’t kiss me. I know why, because I always deny both of them until I’ve brushed my teeth.
 

Kyle escorts me back to the bus and I use the facilities, brush my teeth and then take a seat. I can see my purse and messenger back have been brought in. I pull out the journal, log my food, my puking and then close it up. “We need to take a picture,” Kyle says. I smile and nod and we go back to the bedroom while the water for more mac n’ cheese boils on the stove.
 

After we’re done taking pictures of the pouch, we come back up front and Kyle plays on his phone while he makes me some food. After a couple of minutes he shows me what he did. “Look, baby girl.”
 

I take his phone and look at the picture. He put them side by side and you can definitely see the change, though still subtle, it’s there. Along the bottom of the left picture it says, “5 weeks” on the right it says, “6 weeks 1 day”
 

“That is so cool. It’s hard for me to see the changes. I feel them, like with my pants and shirts, but seeing them is hard because I see me every day.”
 

“There was a big change in three days, or I just really missed seeing it.”
 

“Don’t do that to me again, please? Pregnant or not, it will destroy me.”
