Finding Perfect(A Novel)

chapter fourteen

It was a sunny weekend, ben traveled to Paris for work and wouldn't be back until he's done.
Max went to the door to see who was banging the door. The door hinges could remove anytime soon if he didn't get to the door. he thought.
he sighed when he saw who was at the door.
"can I help you, Tiffany?"
"Oh. hi Maxie..can I come in?"
"I'm sorry you can't. as you can see I use my weekends well..I've got some repairs and things to fix."
she placed her hands on her hips." if you don't want to talk calmly then I guess I'll have to be straight with you. I'm pregnant.."
Max corked a brow."wao that's cute tiff. who's the father?" he smiled.
"you," she said folding her arms.
"me?" Max said and laughed."I never knew you were a drama queen tiff. but congratulations anyway you won a new spoon"
"shut up!" tiff screamed."do you think I'm crazy? I'm pregnant and you're the father of the baby damnit!"
"But I wasn't the father.."Max corrected."we didn't even have..."
"of course we did!..have you forgotten that day I came for practice? you seduced me!" she sobbed.
"..and now..you have to pay the bills till the baby is born.."
Max sighed. now what will happen? he didn't remember clearly what happened that night. how would he manage to tell Sara?
he rested his back on the door and closed his eyes.

Sara was wrapping her hair in a ponytail when she heard a knock on her bedroom door.
it was Saturday morning.
she yawned and said."come in"
"Hey, girl.."Dora came in with a pink flower and kissed Sara on the cheek.
"Ohh..this is beautiful..is this for me?"
"yup..how're you doing?" she asked. sitting on her bed.
"good..the party went well too".
Sara's phone rang and she glanced at it.
"Pick it up.! is that your man?" Dora teased eagerly waiting.
"Hello?"
"hi, burster you probably know who's calling right now.." Tiff's voice sounded through the phone that Dora could hear.
"tiff..what do you want?"
"guess what?.. Max Is going to be a father!"
Sara frowned. her heart thundered against her chest.
"a Father?" now listen up bitch..I am not this person you can wrap up with your lies."
tiff laughed."oh..so you don't believe me?.. I'm just trying to save your silly ass girl..your so-called boyfriend is a cheater..he impregnated me!..he's the father of my..."
Sara hung up and burst into tears.
Dora shifted close and hugged her.
"oh dear..I'm so sorry.."
"I never knew he could do this to me oh no!.." Sara sobbed.
"I'm so sorry.." Dora said."but you've got to call him first.."
"but what if it was true?! what if Max is the father?!"
"shh babe..don't get too worried about it"
Sara's hand trembled as she dialed Max's number.
"Hello love, "Max said, "I've wanted to call you..let me hang up now and call you back."
"No, Max.."Sara replied"let me just ask this simple question.
Max swallowed a lump in his throat that Sara could hear.
"I'm listening"
"are you the father of Tiffany's baby?"
"well..that.."
"yes or no please.?"Sara interrupted.
"well. I won't say yes or no"
"why?.. are you confused? were you confused when you were making love to her?!"Sara screamed and Dora flinched.
"okay..yes..that's what I believe for now..but.."
Sara hung up, sat on the floor, and wept. another peacock personality coming right up. Dora sat close to her.

Max sipped his wine and glanced at the tv show.his hair was scattered and unkempt. he was frustrated, angry, and confused at the same time.

"Yeah I guess"
"you okay man? something happening to Sara again?"
"something's happening man. and I need you to come back as soon as possible "
