Where in the hell was she? Brad knocked on Alicia’s door for the fifth time, but she wasn’t answering. He got a bad feeling that she wasn’t even inside. Where was she?
Damn it! He should have come over here right after he listened to her message. She had sounded so lost and alone like she didn’t have anyone in the world. So, who could she be with?
After hearing about her parents, he doubted that Alicia would go there. He had to find her because Christmas was a little less than two weeks away.
Brad was about to knock on Alicia’s door again when his cell phone went off. Pulling it out his jeans, he flipped it open and answered it.
“Hello?”
“Where are you?” Zack asked him.
“I’m at Alicia’s house,” he answered.
“Well, you have to leave right now.”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Brad asked. “I really need to talk to Alicia.”
“You need to come to the hospital. Cherise is in labor,” Zack told him. “You can bring Alicia with you, but Lee is driving everyone up the wall.”
Cherise was in labor! He was going to be an uncle again. Rushing down the steps, Brad hurried to his black Lexus and got in slamming the door behind him.
“I’m coming. I should be there in thirty minutes. Tell Lee to calm down and help Cherise,” he said before disconnecting the call.
Before he drove off, Brad sat inside of his car and stared at Alicia’s house. He couldn’t get all of the good memories he shared in there with her out of his mind. He had been a complete asshole not to listen to her when she tried to explain the kiss to him.
If he had listened to her, Alicia would be sitting next to him going to see the arrival of the new additions to the Drace family, but he wasn’t going to give up on getting her back and placing a ring on her finger by Christmas.
“I’m coming back and I’ll make Alicia listen to me,” Brad said to himself before driving off.
