Triangle

Chapter 7

I close my room door and go downstairs. It was 12:00 p.m., I must have slept late. "I would say good morning but it's past morning," Liam says, drinking orange juice. I smile and walk next to him. "You fell asleep on me last night," I say, grabbing a strawberry from his plate. "After I got out the shower, I was super tired," he says, drinking more juice. "You know what would go good with these strawberries?" he asks. "Whip cream," I say, laughing. I get the whip cream from the fridge. Liam and I used to eat strawberries together all the time. "Let me feed you," he says, putting whip cream on the strawberry. He puts the strawberry by my mouth and slides it across my lips. "Stop!" I yell, playful laughing. I smack the strawberry out of his hands, and it lands on Kevin's forehead.

Liam started dying with laughter, and I smirk. "What the fuck are you doing Blake?!" Kevin yells. I roll my eyes because I know the bullshit is about to start. "I don't even understand why you're here! You dont live here anymore," I say,looking down at my ring finger. I take off my rings and slide them across the table. Kevin looks shocked and hurt. "So Liam comes in and you give your rings back and shit," Kevin says. "No. you left me, remember?" I ask. "Let's just walk away," Liam says. "You need to shut the fuck up!" Kevin yells, slamming his hands on the table. "You need to calm down," Liam says, regaining his composure. "Stop! Kevin don't come up in here like i'm cheating on you, you left me! I didn't leave; or you didn't give me a chance too," I say, walking out of the kitchen.

"You were gonna leave me?" Kevin asks, following me & Liam right behind him. "You got another bitch pregnant," I say. "You might be pregnant for me to, remember?" Kevin asks, walking out of the house. Liam looks up at me and I put my head down. "Pregnant?" he asks, looking hurt. "I don't know if thats true or not," I say. I don't look at him because I can't. I already know the look on his face and I hated I was the reason behind it. "I need time," Liam says, putting on his shoes. He gets up and tries to walk out, so I grab his hand and pull him to me. "I'm sorry, it was before I found out about that other girl and then you came back," I say, holding back my tears. "I just need some time to think Blake," he says, kissing my forehead. I watch him as he walks out of the door and my heart breaks.

"I seen you last night with him. I haven't seen you smile like that ever, you were glowing," Louis says, standing next to me.  "He is someone very special to me," I say, still holding on to my tears. "Are you in love with him?" Louis asks me. " I don't know yet," I say. "All i'm going to tell you is you will never find another person that makes your heart skip a beat with happiness when you see them," he says, and walks out of the living room.

Lucas invited me over to his hotel to hang out.I drive to the hotel and listen to the radio. Once I make it to Levee Kings Hotel, I go to his room. I knock on the door and he opens it immediately. "Hey, come on in," Lucas says, stepping to the side, letting me inside. I walk inside the house and into the living room. He gives me a hug and I smile. "I'm sorry about yesterday, it wasn't planned," I say, sitting on the sofa next to him. "It was nothing, I was tired anyway," Lucas says, drinking a beer.

He is watching "Arrow" on Netflix in the living room. "I haven't seen anybody watch this in a long time," I say, snuggling in to him. "It's my favorite t.v. show," he says, staring into my eyes. I stare back at him with the same intensity as him and he kisses me. Every time Lucas & I kiss I get a chill through my body. Next thing I know, Lucas is on top of me and in between my legs. "Wait, we have to stop. I need to tell you something," I say, pushing him off of me. " Come on please," Lucas begs. "I might be having Kevin's baby," I say. Lucas stands up and walks to the kitchen.

I follow behind him, still trying to explain myself. "I'm going to the doctor tomorrow," I say, touching his shoulder. He pushes me into the counter and punches me in my nose. He punches me in the eye and then in the mouth. I kicked him in his groans and run to the bathroom. I run inside and lock the door. He bangs on the door yelling," Open the fucking door Blake." I sit on the floor, next to the tub, and cry.

After about 20 minutes, the front door slams shut. I wait 5 extra minutes before opening the door and peak my head out. When I notice nobody is there, I run out and get my things. I run to my car and drive to my house.

When I'm pulling into my driveway, I see Kevin's car. He sees me approaching and gets out of his car. I get out of the car and he runs over to me. "What happened?" he asks, looking worried. "Leave me alone!" I yell, crying and trying to get inside. "I'm still your husband and I want to protect you! Now tell me!" Kevin yells. "It was Lucas. I told him I might be having your baby and he hit me," I finally say. Kevin's jaw tightens up and he punches the wall. "I should have never left," he says, pacing back & forth. "Shut the fuck up," I say.

Louis walks in and when he sees my face, he gasps. "Blake? Who did this? Was it this motherfucker?" Louis asks, looking at Kevin. " It wasn't me, it was Lucas! I'm gonna kick his ass," Kevin reply, defending himself. "You not gonna do shit but mind your business. Louis can you please get the maid for me so she can fix my face please," I say, walking upstairs. "Kevin, I think it's time for you to leave," Louis says, and walks out of the living room.

I didn't want to be bothered with Kevin or Louis. I get to my bed and began to take off my clothes. "Ms. Kendrick?" the maid, Jamie, asks. "Come on in," I say. After she is done with my face, I pick up my phone and text Liam.

(text messages)

me: Liam, please talk to me.

Liam: I don't know what to say to you.

me:  I can't lose you, I just got you back.

Liam: You need to get your shit together and figure out what you want

me: My shit is together

Liam: It's not, you could possibly be pregnant with your cheating husband's baby and your hanging around with Lucas. He is dangerous. I don't want to play games.

me:Lucas is dangerous, he hit me today. How do you know?

Liam: I'm on my way!

I put on my long red silk nightgown. I go to the restroom and look in the mirror. The maid left ice on the table for my eye and nose. I lay back in my bed and put the ice on my face. After 20 minutes, Liam comes rushing into my room and walks over to me. He stops in front of my bed, so I get up and walk in front of him. He was sweating from running. He looks at my face and his face gets red, so I kiss him.

Liam's kisses were soft and beautiful, and with every movement of his lips against mines I felt the passion and love for me. I loved kissing him. Eventually he pulls away and looks me into his eyes. "I mean this in the most respectful way, but I need you to take this test," Liam says, handing me a brown paper bag. I grab the bag and sit on the bed. "If the test is positive, are you going to leave me?" I ask, trying not to cry. "I don't know ," he says.

I get up out of the bed and walk to the bathroom.

(30 minutes later)

"The test is negative," I say, walking out smiling.
