Seduction

Chapter 24: Disaster

2 weeks later...

Today was the day I tell Bruno that I was pregnant. I'm so nervous that I can't think straight it took me an hour just to brush my hair that's how nervous I was.

Bruno had informed me that Jessica wasn't going to be home which is good because I don't want her to be there when I break the news.

I park outside his house and I get out. I walk up to his door shaking like it was cold outside. I'm so scared that he'll think I've done this on purpose and I didn't.

I sigh and ring the doorbell.

He comes to the door with a smile on his face.

"Hey", I say
"Hey", he says and let's me in

I walk in and he leads me towards the living room and we sit down on the couch.

"What's up babe?", he asks
"Nothing I just wanted to talk to you", I say
"About?"
"Well, first you will be leaving for Rio in about a week for the tour and Ryan shall be there to assist you again", I say
"And you?"
"I won't be flying with you guys because I have things to do that day but I'll be there", I say unsurely
"Okay, cool", He says

How should I go about this.

"What did you ant to talk to me about?", He asks
"I totally forgot", I lied

You fucking coward!, I screamed to myself.

He laughs."it's okay it'll come around", he says
"Yeah"

He touches my cheek and tilts his head to the side.

"May I?", he ask

I nodded.

He places his lips onto mine and we began to get lost in this sensation. I open my eyes and It's only until I see a flash of  Dark hair in my peripheral that I start to think something is off.

From my place on the couch, I have the perfect line of vision to stare deep into Jessica's  brown eyes. Her mouth is open wide, her purse has fallen to the floor, and her hands are shaking.

I can only imagine the sight in front of her: Bruno running his fingers through my hair as he continues to kiss me

I broke away and bite my lip.

He makes a move to kiss me, but I back away slightly. "Not now."

"Why?" he asks.

"We have company."

Jessica's sobs alert him to her presence. He spins around. "Shit."

"Bruno... how could you do this to me?"

"Jessica , you're supposed to be out. What are you doing here?"

"I live here! This is my house. I have every right to be here. What is she doing here?" Jessica wipes away angry tears from her face.

" First off, it's my house.Let's go upstairs," Bruno suggests, slowly crossing the living room. "We have some things to talk about."

"No, shit! You're cheating on me? With her?" She picks up the closest thing to here and hurls it in our direction. I duck quickly, but her aim is off so I didn't need to. The causality is a decorative plate. Shards fall to the floor and break into a hundred pieces.

"Jessica, stop this. I know you're mad, but we need to talk."

"I don't want to talk!" She picks up something else, but Bruno is there before she can chuck it. "I want that slut out of my house. Now!"

He grabs her arm, "This is about us. You and I are going to deal with things. Leave Bella out of this."

Bruno slaps the shit out of him, and his head swivels to the side.

I'm trying to keep calm. I don't take lightly to her hitting him that way, but I don't want to send this into more absolute chaos.

Bruno doesn't seem to feel any pain and shakes it off. He begins pulling her out of the living room, and I hear them on the stairs.

I lean against the counter and breathe.

It's here. This is it. Shit has officially hit the fan.

There is a lot of shouting upstairs. From both Bruno and Jessica.A lot of accusations and swearing. More crashing of valuable objects. Slamming doors. Stomping feet.

I want to go upstairs and protect Bruno. I want to tell her how horrible she was to him. I want to scream in her face for not recognizing how good she had it. For letting Bruno slip through her fingers and treating him like shit.

But I stay in the kitchen. I force myself to let Bruno handle this by himself and plus I don't need stress on the baby.

"You're breaking up with me," Jessica shouts from upstairs. "You're breaking up with me?"

I begin picking up the broken shards of the plate Jessica threw at my head.

I'm at the trashcan and freeze when I hear heels on the stairs.

Jessica stumbles into the living room and glares at me. "I thought you were my friend."

"I never gave you any indication of that being true," I tell her. I won't back down.

"I trusted you. How could you do this to me?"
"She has nothing to do with this Jessica it's your fault we've drifted apart!", Bruno says as he comes down the stairs case
"I don't fucking care!"
"Look, it was not my fault that your boyfriend came to me because of you inability to be loyal or anything. As much as I know I've been a better girlfriend than you could ever be.", I say
"Oh really is that what you think?", she says
"Yes", I say sarcastically
"How do you figure?"
"You tell me what you did for him lately to keep him happy...oh wait you haven't. I'm not wasting my time with a fucking bitch either"

That set her off she charged at me and knocked me down. Bruno was shouting for her to get off of me but she Continued her brutality on me. I turned her around and started punching the shit out of her but then she got above me and began hitting me. I was getting nervous because she hit my stomach and I started to worry about the baby.

I punched her hard enough so Bruno can get her off of me. I felt my stomach dance violently so I ran to the kitchen to throw up.

I ran out the house and I could hear Bruno shouting for me but I didn't stop. I get into my car and drove home.

I packed myself a suitcase of clothes and ran back down to my car and began to drive out of L.A.

I can't stay here anymore.
