Be My Everything

Chapter Nine

                 That was all I could think of the last few days, Erika was pregnant and she wasn’t going anywhere. What was worse, Benjamin didn’t know about it and he was going to be stuck with her. I hated that I couldn’t even talk to Preston about it, but I promised Blake that I wouldn’t tell anymore.

                It was hell trying to keep this mega bombshell from Preston, I even wanted to tell Benjamin but I couldn’t. I still think it was wrong of Blake to keep something like this from his son, he had every right to know the only reason he was marrying Erika was that she was pregnant.

                Pregnant, it would have been better if he had just told me he did love her. Now all I can do is just stand here and do nothing but let him make the biggest mistake of his life. A mistake that was going to ruin his sweet and caring son’s life.

                Who I was getting way too close to, whose smile and cheerful personality warmed my heart, but at the same time broke it. He didn’t deserve this, he didn’t deserve a life with a pinche bruja that was going to treat him like crap. It made me sad I had to keep all this in to myself, to the point I cried.

                I cried because it wasn’t fair, I had to look at Benjamin and know of the terrible life he is going to have. The only thing I could hope for was that Blake didn’t let Erika ruin his life. She doesn’t seem like the motherly type, so why did she let herself get pregnant? The only thing I could come up with was either she was faking to get Blake to stay with her or she was messing around with someone else and was now trying to pass the baby off as Blake’s.

                Either way without proof, Blake wasn’t going to believe me. He might not love Erika, but he was going to have another child. It’s what he wanted and what right did I have to take that away from him. There was one person I could talked to about all this, he didn’t know Blake and I wouldn’t have to worry about him finding out I spilled the beans.

                     I dialed his number and waited until he picked up the phone, “Hello” Joaquin said.

                “He is stuck with the biggest bitch because she is pregnant and his son doesn’t like her and I feel so bad for him and I don’t know what to do, because I'm getting so attached to him and so is he. Once I leave from here it’s going to break his heart because he is getting a step mom from hell. I think I love him and I don’t know what to do because he is straight and he is marrying a bitch. Who claims to be pregnant with his child, but I think she is lying. The more I thing about it the more it’s me sad and the more I cry because fuck I am in love with him and his son. I don’t know what to do, help me?” I blurted out, I just had to get it all out before my head explored. It was too much to hold in and I needed to talk to someone about it.

                I took a deep breath, it felt so good just to let it all out, a weight off my shoulders. “Aden, ok calm down and start from the beginning and who the hell are we talking about?” Joaquin said. “And just listening to you just gave me the biggest headache, just so you know.”

                “Sorry, I’m just really stressing out and I needed someone to talk to. Everything just all came out at once, you have no idea how long I have been having to hold that in.”

                “Ok but why can’t you talk to Preston about this?”

                “I can’t because it’s about one of his friends and it’s about a secret he didn’t want me to tell him or Robert about it, not until after the wedding.” Joaquin sighed and I heard him close something.
