w o r d s: 3609

p a g e s: 6

"why'd you put me in this spot. I don't need you in my thoughts. but baby I see you in all the clothes I bought. you walking and talking, the way I walk and talk. please just stop. and I don't think I'll ever get back with you"

I was in my living room playing with Kobe. The day that she announced that she was pregnant I had no idea how to feel. I thought she would tell me sooner. That night is still in implanted in my mind. Her lips on mine. The way she said my name. The way her skin reacted to me. The way her eyes looked in mine. It's so irritating that I didn't get her sooner. It's killing me not seeing her with me. I absolutely hate it. I FUCKING hate it. I get up and looking down at my pup. "Wanna go for a walk, bud?" I asked. Kobe barks and spins in a circle happily. I laugh grabbing his leash, bottled of water and his poop bag. "Ready?" I asked. He barks happily. "Okay, okay calm down" I laugh opening the door. I look up to see Ariana about to knock. "Oh, um hey I can come back later" she blushes. She was wearing a white tank top and black high waisted shorts. Her hair was pulled back into a pony. "No, no it's okay what's up?" I asked as she pets Kobe. "Um, I wanted to see you" she says blushing. My eyes widen. "Don't worry, Colby knows" she says getting up. "Oh, want to go on a walk with us?" I asked. "Yeah, sure" she smiled. I gave Ariana Kobe's leash. "So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked. "Well, I think you know by now that I'm well having Cole's kid" she doesn't look at me. She may have thought that I would flip my shit. I didn't, I just draped an arm around her. "Ari, you should have told me sooner" I tell her. "I know, I know it's just... just I didn't know" she looks at Kobe.

I look at her with brows furrowed. "Don't look at me like that, it's a huge thing to tell someone especially if you love them" she stops so Kobe can shit. "Wait, what?" I asked picking up his shit. "I love you, Brennen that's why I couldn't tell you that I was pregnant" she says looking at anything but me. "You know that I love you too, Ariana" I say. "I know, you expressed it on that night" she sighs. "I know you said we can't talk about it but it's been eating at me for so long" I said. "Me too, I mean fuck Bren" she sighs. "If you didn't meet Colby, would you be with me right now?" I asked. When the question slipped my mouth, I knew it was too late. She looks at me like I kicked Kobe. "It was a dumb question, I know" I comb my fingers through my hair awkwardly. "I would" she whispered. "What?" I looked a her with wide eyes. "I would be with you" Ariana still wouldn't look at me.

We walk till we hit the dog park. "Look how happy he is" Ari looked down at my dog son. "Let him off the leash" I say as she unclipped him and he sped off. Ariana and I sat on a bench while watching Kobe being a dog. "Was that all you wanted to talk to me about? You having Colby's baby?" I asked putting an arm on the back. "Well, I haven't seen you in a while and I just wanted to hang out with you if you had nothing to do today if so, I can come back when you have free time" she was fidgety. She doesn't have to be nervous around me. "Ana, I will always have free time for you" I playfully nudge her. She smiled at me. That smile when she looks at Colby. That smile I was so desperately to see. "Well, I'm glad you have time for me" she laughs. "Always, Ana" I said with a boyish smile. She scoots closer to me and puts her head on my shoulder.

We walk back home. She was carrying Kobe which was panting. "We are almost home boy" Ana says while kissing his face. Lucky pup. The sky was fuchsia with electric purple and blue mixed in. "Wow, this is one thing I love being in Cali" she says dreamily as I took a picture of her. I couldn't help it. "What else do you love about it?" I asked. "Well" she looks at me as she thinks. "I love the people I've surrounded myself with. I love the scolding weather. I love how open everyone is with their sexual orientation to their clothing. I love how every place there's beauty and a story" she tells me. "Wow, I never thought about it like that" I say as we got to my house. Ari puts Kobe on the ground and he rushes in the house to probably drink water.
