Mum stared at me like she was about to go insane, I had to move closer and held her.
"Mum?" I asked gently.
She sank into a seat "that girl sure needs some lesson"
I sat beside her. The cookies were beginning to smell. "Its Ken's baby, I think she loves him" I said
"You know that's a big lie Rachel, that girl doesn't give a damn about anybody"
I remembered Ken had also made the same statement. "What if she really does now?"
She shook her head "I won't allow that marriage, I can't allow a marriage that would turn my house upside down. Ken being my son in-law through Anna?" She clicked her tongue "I can't begin to imagine it"
I scratched my head "I don't know what to say mum except that I'm speechless"
Mum dropped her cup "I only have one favour to ask you" she said
"You know I would do anything for you" I said honestly.
"Can you come back home this weekend" she said "we'll figure this out together"
I began to protest, then nodded my head in acceptance. She stood up patted me on the back and walked out.
"I'm glad you came mum" I called after her.
"I will be out of here first thing tomorrow morning, don't be too glad sunshine!" she called after me. Her response left a smile on my face.

Ken's POV

I was about standing up to leave damn Anna! before I saw her walk into the restaurant in her normal graceful step, swinging her waist from left the right. Her blonde hair was left handing down her shoulder. When she saw me she smiled broadly, her lips painted in red lipstick then she walked over and sat down.
"I told you I got my eyes on you" she smirked.
"Be brief Anna, I gotta go to work. I'm late" I snapped
"Yet you had a long chat with Rachel" she smirked.
I glared at her "where you stalking me?"
"I wouldn't call it that baby, I was only looking out for what's mine" she shrugged.
"What do you want?" I asked, deciding that being angry would only waste my time.
"I came here to discuss our future" she stated
"Our what!" I snarled, my eyes popping out.
"Future" she completed "with our baby"
I scratched my head "I thought you were in this shit for games before Anna" I stated.
She shrugged "well I was until a baby got involved and it became serious"
"I can't do this with you Anna, I must be honest" I finally said, hot sweat breaking out of my skin. "This was just a game for me, it had always been and there are no babies meant to interfere in a game!"
"Oh" she said lifting her brows. "Is that true?"
I brought my two palms together "look Anna, I barely have enough to survive. I can't take care of this now...I can't handle it now"
She frowned deeply "you aren't serious Ken" she spat
"Well I am dead serious" I said stiffly "come to think of it, you have more than a dozen boyfriends. You slept with all of your sister's Exes, you keep running around like an uncircumcised dog Anna, that child is even probably not mine"
She flared up this time "its great that you had a chat with your ex girl Ken but I am the present one!"
"You are nothing to me more than a partner in game and now its game over!"
She leaned closer "you can't escape it this time Ken" she said, the lips which had seduced me the first day was now one of the things I detest about her "I am pregnant for you and you're going to accept it. If you have any doubt, then we can go for a DNA test"
I huffed "I don't care about any test Anna, I won't marry a dog like you"
She smirked "great, then let's play. I will go off to the police station right now and report that you raped this dog, I will know more stories to back up that claim once I leave here" she laughed pointing at herself.
"No, you can't do that Anna. I didn't rape you" my voice broke finally.

She kept laughing "you did because I say so, now let the game begin partner!"

"Anna!" I yelled between clenched teeth
"Then after that I will run off to your office and spread the word on how much of a coward you are. When I do that four times a day for five days, I bet you will be seating in your sofa in a week crying over your sack letter" she said.
I stared at her in disbelief "you are a devil Anna"
"From there, I will devise more means to end your miserable life. Once I leave here, I will give you twelve minutes to make a decision. Its fifteen drive from here to the station" she said "if you give me a call I will take it that you have accepted, don't call and I will make sure you end up in jail soon" she swore, then stood up.
"Anna!" I yelled, attracting attention again, only that this time I didn't care.
She turned and smiled at me "You have but twelve minutes, let the countdown begin" then walked out.
