Chapter 27

I opened the door to Denzel's room and went inside. I don't even know if I'm ready to do this.

"Rebecca," he said suddenly. 

Damn, what am I doing? 

“I wasn't expecting you today. What are you doing here?”

I'm your girlfriend, what else could I do there?

"I wanted to talk to you about something." He stood up.

"Maybe you better tell me another time, I'm busy right now…" I wrinkled my eyebrows. 

Was Denzel Derricks kicking me out of his house?

“What could you be busy with? In your video games?” I asked sarcastically.

“On me, Rebecca.” I heard a voice behind me. Alessia walked over and grabbed the bag she hadn't even noticed on her bed. “I was leaving anyway, you can stay and be next.”

Damn bitch.

“He is lying.”

"But you wish it were true." Alessia left her room and I stayed there to look stupid.

Yeah, I was pregnant by this asshole and all I wanted to do was tell him what was going on, but instead he's just nonchalant about taking care of that bitch.

"I can explain." Denzel looked nervous.

"No, keep your secrets." I rolled my eyes and started to walk out of that house when I ran into Reed Derricks. He had an unfriendly look as always, and the bruise on his eye explained everything.
"Won't you stay for a toast, Rebecca?" I pushed that idiot aside and walked out of that house completely.

(…)

“I'm happy for you.” Joe looked away when I finished telling him I was pregnant. He drank from the straw until the last of his soda was gone, and then he took my hand. “You could not tell her and I can take care of you and the baby.” he proposed.

“Nope.” I assured. “You're going to have to give me a good explanation as to why Alessia was in her room, I don't think that's that stupid. On the contrary, I feel like a fool for going to look for him…” I put my hands to my head. “We're having the baby together, but I don't know when to tell her.”

"I just recommend that you don't stress…" Joe looked at my stomach. Nothing was noticeable yet, but a life was growing inside of me.

“It's okay.”.

"I'm sorry you and I haven't had a true love affair like the one you have with Denzel Derricks. You know I will always love you, Rebecca.” If you loved me you wouldn't have betrayed me, beautiful and perfect Joe.
“Someday you will find that true love story.” I stated. “Someone as cute as you and above all perfect will find the love of his life, I'm sure.”

"I was hoping it was you." I got up a little flushed, but also uncomfortable. The fact that Joe was so... soft on me made me sentimental, especially in this state.

“Thanks for everything, Joe. Denzel wouldn't listen to me and that's why I came to you. 

Seriously, thanks for everything.

“It was a pleasure, beautiful Bec.”

(…)

“How did it go with Denzel?” my sister asked me when I took a seat at the side of the table. 

There were many papers, fabrics, brochures, and our dresses lying on the couches. This wedding was serious.

“I went to talk to him, but I found Alessia, his ex, at his house. So I left there and went with Joe for a drink, and in passing I told him that I'm expecting a baby from that idiot.”
"There's Rebecca…”

“I know. I don't even know if I want to tell him I'm pregnant anymore. Maybe I'll just hide it from everyone and get the hell out of Seattle.” buffet.

"You should wait until you make those kinds of decisions, little sister, wait for Denzel to have a very good explanation and then decide what you want." It's okay?”

I nodded.

After a few minutes, the doorbell rang and I went to answer the door.

Opening it, I found Derricks behind it.

“You must think I have a lot of explaining to do, Rebecca.” I crossed my arms. “Please, you haven't even listened to me, you should.”

“All I think is that you're lying to me more and more.”

“I'm not lying to you, Rebecca, I assure you. I just want you to hear what I have to say.”

"I hope it's very good." I growled.

“Alessia told me that Jayden Foster has been hiding something for days, isn't it strange that Anne does the same? What if the two of them are secretly dating and planning all this?”

“And so Anne stands in for Alessia to print the sheets.” I thought. “Sounds kind of disturbing, why would Anne come off as a jerk like him?”
“Remember you were having one of those mental orgasms with him when I met you.”

“Moron.” He came over and kissed me, it was a bit rushed and we gasped the more I opened my mouth. He slid his hands up to my hips and rubbed both of my buttocks, moaning with desire.

“Let's go to your room?” I was about to say yes when I remembered something in my tummy.
I backed away a bit and cleared my throat.

Today wasn't the day, sorry I wasn't ready to tell you.

“My sister is at home, she wants me to help her with some things for the wedding, why don't you stay and help me?” I proposed. 

I hope that doesn't sound too suspicious.

“It's okay. Not that I wanted to stay at my girlfriend's house looking at cutlery brochures, but who cares.” I took him by the hand.

"That's your punishment, handsome." We were about to cross the room when we both stopped upon hearing that my sister was on a compromising call.

"I hope to see you again, I miss you so much." said “Yes, Jayden, no one suspects.”

I opened my eyes suddenly when I heard that name come out of her smiling mouth.

Yes, I also want this to end. I promise you, when we get the money from that idiot Tyler Derricks and his stupid son, we're out of this place.” I squeezed Denzel's hand. This had to be a fucking joke. “Yeah, I want to be in your bed again too, but my wedding is three days away, if I sneak out for a while I'd be suspicious, and my idiotic fiancé is coming soon. I'll call you later.”
