Chapter 13 - Come Home Elle

"Sir! I found her! She rented an apartment in Christ Church and she was…" 

Crap, Myk didn't want to say where she found Elle.

Nate looked up and cocked his head to one side.

"Where did you find her?"

"Working in a bar."

"She was dancing? With my baby in her belly? Bring the car NOW!"

Within a few minutes, Myk was driving to Christ Church. She pulled up to 

the bar and helped Nate inside.

Nate was gripping the chair handles so hard, Myk second guessed her 

decision.

"Sir, you need to calm down, if you scare her, she will run again, she may 

leave the island next time."

Nate nodded and let go of the handles. As they got inside, Nate's heart hurt 

him. There was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, 

dancing for a room full of men. He didn't go to her. He got hard just watching 

and groaned inwardly. He didn't have an issue with her dancing, that's how 

he met her, but she was carrying precious cargo. He was furious.

Just then, one of the men grabbed her ass and she visibly flinched and 

moved away from him. The man did not give up.

"Come here sexy, let me slap that ass for you."

"Sorry buddy, we have a no touch policy." Elle said firmly but respectfully.

The man didn't care, and he let her know.

"Look bitch, I paid to come in here and I am gonna touch you so just shut up 

and let me get my money's worth." The man licked his lips and kissed at 

Elle.

Nate growled.

"Myk."

"Sir."

Myk left Nate and walked over to the man.

"Sir, if you know what's good for you, leave the lady alone."

"Who the fuck are you to tell me leave her alone?"

"Try to touch her again, please." Myk warned.

The man reached out his hand to a now stunned Elle and all could be heard 

was a loud yelp as his fingers cracked under Myk's hand.

Elle paused her routine and looked around. She knew as long as Myk was 

here, Nate had found her.

She quickly left the stage but when she got to her changing room, she didn't 

think he would be waiting for her.

"Elle, before I leave here, I need to ask you a few questions. If you don't 

want to be with me, I will have to abide by your decision but answer me first."

Elle nodded slowly.

"Are you pregnant?"

"Yes."

"Is the baby mine?" As the words left his mouth, Elle started to cry.

"Elle, don't cry, just answer me. Did you cheat on me? That's why you left?"

"I would never cheat on you Nate, this baby was created by you and I. If you 

want a DNA test to make sure, feel free when the time is right."

"Then why did you leave me? I thought we were doing fine?"

"I heard you and Roland talking. You said you didn't want a child."

Nate gasped. This woman.

"I can't be with you knowing you don't want a baby with me. Do you have 

any idea how that hurts?"

"So, the woman I love decided that she heard something and instead of 

confronting me, making me face you to find out the truth, you left?"

"What is the truth Nate? The first time we made love I expressed my fear of 

getting pregnant and you told me, we would get married and raise our child 

together but you confide in Roland that you weren't sure you wanted a child 

with me."

"Oh Elle, yes I did tell him that but if you had stayed or came in you would 

heard me say that a child with you would be the best thing that ever 

happened to me. Of course, I have doubts, but they are about ME and my 

ability to keep you by my side, don't you get that? I am in a wheelchair! 

There are things I cannot do. You on the other hand are limitless. I would 

love our child and because he or she came from you, I would love you more 

than I ever have. A child would bind us together forever, but you didn't 

TRUST ME! You said you loved me Everleigh, don't I have feelings?"

Elle gasped and sunk into the nearest chair.

"I'm sorry Nate."

"So am I, it seems that I am not the man you need after all. We agreed we 

would talk things out but you left me."

"What do you mean by that?" Elle was fearful.

"You left ME Elle, you didn't give me the chance to offer a reason for what I 

said. That tells me you don't trust me; I can't be with a woman who has no 

trust or faith in me. I'm sorry." Nate turned to leave.

Elle watched as he left. It was hard when she left him but now, she knew 

how he felt, she still wanted him.

"Please don't go Nate, I said I was sorry. I misunderstood what you said."

"You would rather come to a bar to dance with my baby in your belly, than 

tell the man you claim to love, that he said something you didn't like. What

if someone attacked you, tried to rape you on your way home? FUCK! I am 

going home. You need to think about what you want Elle. Either you want 

me and are willing to work shit out when it happens, or we simply be parents 

to our child and forget being in a relationship. I want you to come home Elle, 

but you need to believe that is where you belong, by my side. You choose."

Nate wheeled himself out and left the bar. Myk was waiting at the car and 

when she saw Nate come out alone, she frowned.

"Sir? She isn't coming?"

"I gave her a choice, I for one am going home."
