~Lukas’ Point of View~BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP“Oh shit,” I mumbled, trying to get to my phone. I quickly saw that it was actually the third alarm, which was weird since I didn't hear the first two.Something was on me, holding me down. I quickly realized it was a female’s arm and I groaned. I hadn’t meant to spend the night, that always makes them think something more is brewing. For me, there’s never anything more. And that’s why I always try to get busy at their place, or a hotel. I used to bring chicks home all the time, but they started getting crazy. I had one just go and change the curtains, put up pictures of her family and that was a wake up call.I vowed years ago not to have any women outside of my actual family in my place. Too risky.“You’re leaving,” I heard, as I pulled on my pants.“Yeah I got a thing across town, I’m late,” I groaned, looking for my shirt.My band was currently off tour, but our manager was getting us into a bigger picture situation. Thanks to Slade
~Natasha’s Point of View~When meeting artists out in public I used to go all out, really dress up. Hair, make-up and all that. I wanted to look good next to them, especially as I got older. Well … father time creeping up into my life is what got me knocked up in the first place. It was like after I turned 30 my ovaries started fucking with me.I met Lukas on the sidewalk, just outside a hipster bar I’d never normally be caught dead in, and the way Lukas looked at it told me he felt the same.I took in his navy blue t-shirt with dark blue jeans with black Jordan sneakers on his feet. Not at all dressy, but he pulled it off well. His shaggy hair was kind of curly, still damp from the shower. He had it a bit shaved up on the sides. It was obvious he hadn’t styled it and I nearly caught myself wanting to reach up and touch it. He had the boy next door cute little vibe complete with dimples and if not for the reputation that seemed to walk a foot in front of him he’d be I dare say adorabl
~Lukas’ Point of View~I really had little interest in being a father, but seeing Tasha about to bring new life into the world was pretty cool. I’d asked her if I needed to call someone for her, but she insisted she had it under control. She even said I could leave her car at the studio tomorrow and she’d have someone get it. I’d have to get it cleaned for her, she had the same OCD I did and I knew it the minute she made a comment about getting her seat wet. I’d thought about it too but wasn’t about to point it out.It was like … I was super needed for twenty minutes and now, she didn’t need me. I shouldn’t care. I really shouldn’t. But it kinda sucked. It wasn’t even really that I wanted to see the baby, I just wanted to help her. It was clear there wasn’t a man here, and I really did wanna know why. Maybe she chose to keep a one night stand, maybe it was a bad break up. Either way, it sucked. She seemed ready though, like she had her life together. I wasn’t totally sure what to do
~Natasha’s Point of View~ “I just can’t get over how quickly you had him, that’s not common for your first pregnancy I don’t think,” Nadine said. I smiled down at my little baby Louie and pretty much ignored my twin sister. I rubbed his little soft patch of light brown hair. I was so in love. Any reservations I had, especially about doing this alone, were gone. At least for now, easy to say when I was still in the hospital. She’d been married for about nine years and had three kids so of course she’d been trying to tell me everything. Some stuff I did appreciate but for the most part I was ready for her to get the hell out. Our mom had passed when we were ten, and our father, who'd been like our hero, had a massive heart attack a couple years ago and didn’t make it. She was all I really had, though there were some cousins on the east coast. I wasn’t at all close to my aunts and uncles. “I just can’t believe you’re really going to do this alone, Tash. It’s really fucking hard. Lik
~Lukas’ Point of View~ I stared back at the door that had just shut in my face. I was fuming. She was absolutely out of her mind if she thought she was going to ruin my sanctuary with a screaming baby. No fucking way! When I moved in I bought three units and made them into one. I fork out a small fortune to pay for six parking spots when I only need three. I pay far more in HOA fees than anyone else. Not to mention I’d been here way longer than her. Surely the building owners would rather keep me happy. I stormed back to my place and took a hot shower, then ordered some lunch. While I ate I gawked at the far wall which was next to my bedroom and likely shared with her living room. It had always been so peaceful here, sometimes too quiet. There was no way in hell I could stand a freakin’ baby ruining that. It was Saturday but I still had some things to do at the office and it killed me to call it that. I had an office. So fucked up. But I had to keep reminding myself of the big pi
~Natasha’s Point of View~ Lukas messaged me multiple times after “the incident” and even left a couple voicemails. Good … just let him sweat! Yeah the last thing I needed was to be banging on HIS door at four am looking like a shiftless hobo in front of some hot little young thing with perky tits who looked freshly fucked. I hated to admit that the whole thing got to me, not her comment necessarily but just seeing him with someone. It was completely irrational, I more than knew his reputation. I more than knew how he felt about me having a baby. Don’t hope, you idiot. There’s no point. It's obvious what he wants. A paper thin, dime a dozen club girl. The very girls I hated in college, frat mattresses. I’d gained thirty freaking pounds having Louie and how much had I lost? Eight and a half pounds, exactly what he weighed! But that was another frustration. Nobody tells you that when you breastfeed and pump you’re fucking ravenous. I wake up sometimes ready to eat my hand off, I'm
~Lukas’ Point of View~ I practically ran back into my apartment and slammed the door behind me. I had my clothes off before I even got to the shower. Flipping it on ice cold I got under the spray and groaned, I’d been hard as a rock for damn nearly half an hour. I wasn’t even sure I’d ever actually watched a woman eat ice cream before but now Natasha and her damn cone were all I was gonna think about. Why does she have to have such thick perfect lips? A moan that makes you want to go all night? The way she licked that damn thing had me more envious of a fucking food than I could have ever imagined. What was she doing to me?? I couldn’t get involved with her. There were a hundred reasons why that was a bad idea, but I couldn’t get my dick to understand a single one of them. After jerking off in the shower … twice, I fell into bed and groaned. How long was I gonna be able to keep this up? I don’t get feelings, I don’t chase women. Although out of my boys Slade and I were the only on
~Natasha’s Point of View~ “Everything looks good Natasha, you’re really doing great, he’s gained an ounce so that’s perfect. Normally when babies go home that first day or two they can actually lose a bit of weight as they get some poop out and excess fluids, then settle into a routine,” the doctor said. I beamed at my little bundle, he was actually awake but just staring off into space. I was so happy with the positive news that I felt like staying out, maybe I just wasn’t quite ready to go home. My mind already knew exactly where I wanted to go. The doctor left and gave me some space, I went ahead and nursed since even though I did it before I left home, that had been a couple hours ago. I’d had a few errands to run and then waited in a long line to get a car wash. I confirmed my next couple of appointments and accepted a cute bedtime story book from the nurse before heading out. One of my favorite spots to just sit and get lost is a cafe a few miles from my condo. It’s got a f
