Jayce's POV
"Don't look at me like that!" I had had enough of those condescending looks for one night.
"Dammit Jayce! I told you all that it is and you're assuming things anyways. It's no wonder everybody else doesn't trust you!" Angie yelled back at me, her face turning a little pink with rage.
That actually hurt a little, ouch. "Because you're lying to me!" No matter how cute she is when she gets mad, no I mean, no matter how cute she is, ever, I'm not backing down. She can't just go out with her ex and expect me to be cool with it. I don't get to meet him, no picture, no background info at all. I don't even get a name!
"I am NOT lying!" She snaps, then she adds still fiercely but a little softer now, "I trust you enough to tell you the truth."
"Then why can't you just let me talk to him?!"
"Because, you'll get jealous and then start a fight!"
"You don't know that." Why wasn't she getting this? How do I know that she's not cheating on me? I mean this guy is her ex so that means that she had a reason to date him, right?
"Jus-" she pauses but I'm about argue more when she says, "you know what, I'm done with this. Just go. I can take care of the baby myself. Leave please." Leave? Does this mean we're done? This sucks! We've only been dating a week and there has already been too much drama, but I really like her. That's obviously enough to make me stay, but is it for her?
"Angie, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna let you do that. You're pregna-"
"I don't know that for sure yet," she cuts me off in a panic as if saying the word out loud will make it true. "Like I said, leave now. I don't care if you come back later, I just need some time to cool off."
Now I understand what she meant. Thankfully it wasn't what I thought it was gonna be. I now regret getting mad at her, "I'm sorry," I say and turn to go.
Angie's POV
I just stood there and glared at him. "Don't look at me like that!" He shouted, it's like he's not hearing me at all.
"Dammit Jayce! I told you all that it is and you're assuming things anyways. It's no wonder everybody else doesn't trust you!" I was infuriated. He obviously doesn't trust me at all.
"Because you're lying to me!"
"I am NOT lying!" I yelled raising my voice to its highest volume. How can someone be so ignorant? "I trust you enough to tell you the truth," I said hoping to bring down this dispute.
"Then why can't you just let me talk to him?!" I guess I was wrong. Why does he have to be so insensative and possesive. I am a grown woman, I can take care of myself!
To answer his question, I decide to say what always seems to happen between him and a guy that so much as sneezes at me, "Because, you'll get jealous and then start a fight!" His eyes are boring into me, I feel like if I stay under his intense gaze, I might implode. If he would just listen to me and know that I wouldn't do something as awful as cheating on him. And to think, he's accusing me of being that type of person. I mean, yeah, I went out with the guy but I had a reason to dump him too.
"You don't know that." He sticks out his chin in defiance and I'm almost ready to call it quits between us.
"Jus-" I stop, realizing I almost broke up with the only man I need in my life. I take a deep breath, tryin to steady my emotions and continue, "you know what, I'm done with this. Just go. I can take care of the baby myself. Leave please." I am ready to cry now. If he can't trust me, I can't trust him. He could at least give me a reason to be okay but ever since we started dating all the world's done is try to bring us crashing down.
"Angie, I'm sorry," he says, his eyes going softer with regret and what looks like fear. "I'm not gonna let you do that. You're pregna-"
"I don't know that for sure yet!" I cut him off, I know it seems silly to think that saying it out loud will increase that chances of it being true, but that's what I think. I feel like if I keep denying it, it won't be so. "Like I said, leave now. I don't care if you come back later, I just need some time to cool off."
As he turns to go, he stops slowly and looks back one more time, "I'm sorry," and then he's gone. Out the door leaving me to my not so peacefull silence.
