Undercover Love

Chapter 47

Tom's POV

Lia and Doug. I just couldn't believe it : betrayed by both my girl and my best friend. It seemed so unreal, yet so evident. It all perfectly made sense now. The reason why he was the first one, if not the only one she chose to inform about her pregnancy was because he was the father. No wonder she didn't  tell me. How could I have been so fucking stupid to not even suspect anything ? They must have laughed like hell at me. They must have had a lot of fun the week she stayed at his place when it was his turn to take care of her during her recovery. I bet he took really good care of her. 

I cringed. Just the thought of them together was making me sick to my stomach.

"Tom wait !",  Julia called from behind as I ran out the building. "Tom please !" 

I ignored her and sped up, but she somehow managed to grab my arm before I could reach my car.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME !", I yelled, turning around and pushing her away.

"Let me explain ! It's not what you think at all !", she pleaded, reaching for my arm once more.

"GET THE FUCK OFF ME !", I pushed her again. 

"WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM ?", she raised her voice, pretendinging to be totally oblivious. I exhaled deeply, attempting to cool off.

"How long ?", I asked in a lower and calmer voice.

"What do you mean how long ? How long what ?" 

Alright, she was still denying. My jaw clenched. Her behavior was really pissing me off. I was tired of her lies and I wasn't in the mood for fooling around so I lost my calm agin.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME ? YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT I MEAN ! STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH ME !"

"I'M NOT PLAYING GAMES WITH YOU ! I JUST HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ! !", she kept playing me like a sucker. 

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN FUCKING PENHALL?", I shouted, disgusted.

"WHAT ? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ? I'M NOT A WHORE ! I CAME HERE YESTERDAY NIGHT BECAUSE I NEEDED SOMEONE TO TALK TO ! I NEEDED A SHOULDER TO CRY ON AFTER YOU TREATED ME LIKE A PIECE OF TRASH ! AND DOUG HAPPENED TO BE THERE FOR ME UNLIKE YOU !"

I didn't say anything and turned my head to the right to look away. She lowered her voice a little as she continued her speech.

"You're a cunt Hanson. You make me feel like shit. You blame me for things I never did and ignore me for no apparent reason. You reject me when I need you the most", her voice cracked. "Now is the time in my life where I need you the most but you aren't there. There's something...something you should know. Something I tried to tell you I don't know how many times, but you won't let me because you just don't care. You're too busy breaking my heart. Everything was so perfect between us until like two days ago. I don't know what happened. You're like...a stranger now. I don't know what's your problem but if you wanna end things with me, just say it. You don't have to be such a dick."

She wiped the tears from her eyes before making her way back towards the building. I just stood there, looking at the ground, motionless. Right before reaching the entrance of the building, she tunred around to glance at me one more time. Quickly turning back around, she said

"You're an asshole Hanson. And do you know the worst part ?" She paused to take a deep breath and I didn't respond. I don't think she was expecting me to anyway. She then answered her own question. "The worst part is that I love you."

She started walking again and disappeared in the hallway. I took a few steps forward, at first almost wanting to catch up with her. I rapidely changed my mind though. I needed some time to think. We probably both did. So I just got in my car and started it before driving away.
