Page 46 of Her Billionaire's Baby Secret

“I think once you’ve calmed down, you should give him a chance to explain why he didn’t tell you about the baby.” Carrington stepped up to the counter.

A younger girl smiled up at them. She looked to be about twenty and had her hair pulled back into a brown ponytail. “What can I get you today?”

“I’ll have the ham and cheddar with a bottle of water.” Carrington paid for her food and moved to the side.

“I’ll have a turkey Swiss melt with a root beer.”

“Do you want chips with that?”

“Sure. Just regular potato chips.”

The younger girl rang her up, and Sariah paid her. She got her food and then joined Carrington at the table she’d reserved for the two of them.

She bit into the warm gooey cheesy sandwich. It was just what she needed.

“Do you hate it that all our friends have gotten married off, and we’re left single?” Carrington twisted off the top of her water bottle.

“To some degree. I’m happy that they’ve all found someone, but I was happy to be single. I felt like guys couldn’t be trusted.”

“You’re speaking in past tense. Does that mean you don’t feel that way anymore?” Carrington drank from her water bottle.

“Spending so much time with Kane has changed my perspective on dating. At least, I was headed in that direction. I’m not sure how I feel now.” Sariah ripped open her bag of chips and popped one in her mouth.

“Do you think you would have allowed yourself to grow close to him again if you’d known about the baby?” Carrington twisted the top back on her bottle.

She chewed and swallowed the chip. “The baby doesn’t bother me. I wouldn’t have a problem dating a guy with a kid. It’s the sneakiness that bugs me.”

“Maybe he just wasn’t ready to talk about it. You did say that Orchid didn’t even look pregnant yet. Lots of people aren’t ready to tell people right away.”

“I get not telling your parents or extended family, but don’t you think it’s important information to share with someone you’re kissing?”

“That depends on if you want to be committed to the person you’re kissing, or if it’s just a casual thing,” Carrington pointed out.

That didn’t help Sariah feel any better though. “We weren’t officially together, so I can see how he might not think it’s something he’d need to share with me. But for some reason, it doesn’t make me feel better. I don’t know if that’s because of my past with Elliot and all his secrets, or if it’s because I want him to be more serious with me.”

“It sounds like it’s both.” Carrington took a bite of her sandwich.

Sariah looked up to see Kane and Chase walking into the shop. “Look who’s here.”

Carrington twisted to see the two guys. “You should talk to him.”

Kane turned his head and caught her eye. He lifted a hand and waved at her.

Sariah turned back to Carrington, ignoring Kane’s wave. “I don’t know if I can do this.”

“You can totally do this,” Carrington whispered.

“I’m not sure I have a choice because he’s coming this direction.”
