KELLY'S POV

After storming out of Colin's and my room, I found myself sitting on a bench. I sit Indian style as I hold my still growing belly. I slowly, gently place my chin on it.

As I sit, thinking heavily to myself about Colin's and my relationship, a cute young man sits next to me. I glare at him through the corner of my eye. He was clearly tall by the way just his shoulder was with my eye level. He had mocha brown skin with a tattoo of lyrics to a song I could not name but knew I heard it before.

He had a fresh cut, illustrating his low, thick waves. I glance up, into his light brown eyes. They were gorgeous. The man looks down and catches me staring up at him. I quickly snap my head away in embarrassment. He laughs, making his low baritone laugh heard. "You can stare, little lady."

I look up to him and see him still smiling. He had the pearliest white teeth I've seen as well as ocean deep dimples. "Sorry." I murmur.

"Hey, it's cool. I'm Tre..." He was cut off by the sound of his phone.

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

That went off too soon

And I miss you in the June gloom, too

It was the fourth of July

You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks

I said I'd never miss you

But I guess you never know

May the bridges I have burned light my way back home

On the fourth of July

He looks down to his phone before scoffing and hitting the decline button. He sighs and shakes his head. The mysterious man then turns to look at me. I look away.

"You and I were, you and I were fire, fire, fireworks that went off too soon." I start singing Fall Out Boy's Fourth of July.

"YOU know Fall Out Boy?" He asks me in pure disbelief.

I stare at him like he was insane. "YOU listen to Fall Out Boy?" I somewhat mock him. I roll my eyes before replying with, "Yes, I know Fall Out Boy. I love them. I have all of their albums."

The young man chuckles. "Yeah? Me too. It's cool to find someone else into Fall Out Boy."

"You mean 'cause we're black?" I joke.

The man lets out another laugh. "Actually yes."

I shake my head with a bright smile.

"I'm Trevor though." He extends his hand in front of me.

I gladly take it. "Hi, Trevor. I'm Kelly."

Trevor tightens his grip on my hand and brings them to his soft lips, pecking my hand with them. "Such a beautiful name." His white pearly smile and dimples make me blush. "T-Thank you." Did I just stutter? I'm blushing and stuttering and this guy isn't even my boyfriend.

"So..." Trevor pauses as he looks me up and down. "When are you due?"

"Excuse you?" I act offended. I place a hand over my chest. "What on Earth makes you think I'm pregnant?"

"Welllll... Judging by how skinny your thighs and legs are, I just assumed. But then again, there's no ring on your finger so I might be wrong."

"Well you assumed right." I give a faint smile. "I'm due in about three months. And as to the ring thing, don't judge me."
