UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 271 – 280
The elevator slides open, and we step out.
I twist the doorknob open and realize it’s not locked. Dad and I walk in, and he shuts the door behind him. I smile at the aroma from the kitchen.
“Alexa?”
“That’s me.” She walks out of the kitchen with a big smile on her face.
“Hi, Mr. Daxton.” She greets Dad.
“Hi, yourself,” Dad replies.
“Ariel…”
I hear Kennedy’s voice as she rushes out of the hallway.
Damn, who brought her?
“Surprised?” she squeaks as she grins.
“Yeah. Who brought you?”
“Alexa did. I had to beg Dad to bring me to Gray’s, but he refused. I ran into her at a mall, and I made sure she brought me here. We’re making a nursery!” She squeals.
“No way.”
“Yes, way. It was her idea.” Alexa jabs her thumb at Kennedy.
“And I’ve got the best baby names ever. You’ll love it,” Kennedy says as she wraps her little hand around my wrist.
She drags me to the kitchen, and Alexa follows.
“I’m just gonna leave, Ariel. I’ll call you,” Dad calls out.
I stop in my tracks and turn to look at him.
“Alright. Thanks. Alexa will take good care of me, including Kennedy.” I say and ruffle Kennedy’s hair.
“Sure. Be careful.”
He gives me a big hug and leaves.
I sigh and take Kennedy’s hand as we walk to the kitchen. Alexa is making pancakes.
“So, you wanna hear my names before checking out the nursery?” Kennedy asks.
“Sure.”
“Oh yeah. Since it’s a boy and he’s gonna be a badass boy, I think Jaden is hot. Haven, Kaden, Tyrell, Trevor…”
“A lot of ‘dens’ and ‘Ts’ in here, little one,” Alexa points out.
“Come on. You know it’s cute. And Jamaal too,” Kennedy says.
“Jamaal?” I ask.
“Yeah. Since Gray is the daddy and he’s gonna be like Gray, I just thought Jamaal as his middle name wouldn’t be bad since Gray is Jamal.”
She says this with a sad look.
“I miss Nick. And Gray especially. Can’t believe they just left without saying it,” she sighs.
“Come here,” I call out to her and hold her close.
“Nick is fine, alright? And Gray… he will be back soon,” I assure her.
“I trust you,” she coos.
“Alright. Pancakes are ready. Who’s hungry?” Alexa asks.
I look up at her, and she smiles.
Obviously, she’s trying to lighten the mood.
“I’m hungry,” Kennedy mutters.

I get out of my car and shut the door. I look up at the place I once called an apartment as I walk in.
I smile at the lady and step inside the elevator.
I just had a yoga class, and I had to check on Leslie since she just gave birth.
I step out of the elevator once it slides open and ring the doorbell.
