Do It Again

Chapter 12

"There you are." I smiled and turned to face Rocky.

"I couldn't find you." He never moved his hand from my car door.

"Sorry. I would have called you, but I left my phone at Blake's."

He furrowed his brow. "Why would you do that?"

"I didn't want him calling me. He doesn't know I left." I looked away. "So why are we meeting here?"

He watched me closely. "I'm not gonna beat around the bush. Did you and Blake have sex?"

I froze. Did he somehow know what Blake and I had just done recently?

"Where is this coming from?" I didn't want to answer.

"Earlier today, when I dropped you off at Blake's, I saw you drop your groceries. I saw the condoms, Ashley."

I looked away. "Is this the only reason you wanted to meet up?" I started opening the car door again. "I need to get back. Blake's probably worried sick."

"Wait." He grabbed the door so I couldn't shut it. "That wasn't the only reason."

"Then what?"

"I liked seeing you today and didn't want to lose it. I had to see you again."

"You just saw me a few hours ago."

"I'm use to seeing you everyday." He moved into the car doorway. "I'm going through withdrawal."

"You couldn't have waited until morning to do something?"

"Fine. The main reason was because I was thinking about you and Blake. I can't get over the fact that you're with him all the time. I miss you. I miss my child. You're pregnant with my kid and I'm not even around you to help you through it."

"There's nothing serious going on in the pregnancy right now. This isn't my fault. Why do you keep treating me like it is?"

"I'm not. At least I'm not trying to." He closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm just worried about what you and Blake are doing. Last time we talked you said you didn't want to talk about what you did, now you're not telling me if you and him used those condoms I saw you with."

I looked away. "Maybe we didn't use a condom."

He stopped moving. "So you two did have sex?"

"I have to go." I turned away. "Goodnight, Rocky."

"Ashley, wait. Please just tell me." He begged.

I watched him carefully. "It doesn't matter what I say. Either way you won't believe me, or you won't want to believe me. Goodbye, Rocky."

---------------------------------------------

It had been five days since I last saw Rocky. When I got back that night, Blake was mad that I had left, but happy that I was ok. He never questioned anything else from that night.

Nothing had happened between Blake and I since our kiss. He kept his distance and I kept my temptations to myself.

Rocky, Riker, and occasionally Ross tried to contact me, but I ignored all their efforts. My guess was that Rocky told them Blake and I had had sex.

I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I brushed the hair out of my face."

"Sorry I woke you." Brittany laughed. "I forgot you were four hours behind. I just wanted to call and let you know I got my plane ticket and am currently waiting to get on my plane. I should be there by this afternoon. Where should I meet you?"
