Savage (A Blood Feud Novel)

Chapter Nine

Alana was sitting on a bench across the street from the bar that James and Shea were drinking. Her right hand slowly rubbed her stomach. She was about a month into her pregnancy. She couldn't believe it. Still, she was going to be a mom! What had begun as a fling had escalated to this and needed to be sorted out before it was too late.

She watched and waited for James and his friend to come out. She had been following the two and saw that they stopped at a bar called Gilligan's.

The bastard had refused to answer her calls, and his stupid friend had told her he was out of town but she could tell he was lying and had begun her surveillance on the house. She was going to approach him then he would not be able to go into hiding.

She had never expected to get pregnant at this age, but it had happened. She could not imagine herself being a single mother. James wasn't the type of guy she had envisioned to marry.

It was obvious he was from the wrong side of town, but he was cute and useful in bed. See where it had ended she thought. Whatever they would decide on, they were going to be together she agreed on.

She and James started seeing each other only a month ago. At first, it was friendly between the two. James, despite his past shortcomings, seemed like a decent and cool guy. Alana, who was younger wanted to meet someone who was older.

James had come along with his charming self at the right moment. Alana was in a relationship with a black seaman who she had begun to date so she could piss off her father.

However, Alana was getting tired of her boyfriend and his ridiculous demands. She had needed something exciting, someone, who would treat her like she was not a porcelain doll on a pedestal.

At first, she had started digging out sites such as e-Harmony, Plenty of Fish, Match and a whole host of dating sites she could browse through.

There was no luck since she found herself competing with older women who had done a boob job and lots of plastic surgeries to themselves.

No doubt they were good looking, but they had the money to give out to guys they met. And the men she had met, they weighed more than they were in their profile pictures as well as way older. It was not just something cut out for her nineteen years.

Her next plan was to go into town and pick up a guy. She was glad her boyfriend was not always around, and it was the perfect opportunity for her.

At first, the whole experience wasn't as rosy as Alana had hoped. She only managed to attract three guys, all of whom were albatross. Alana had been freaking glad to meet James, someone who was different and ready to have a good time. She had not expected to fall for James.

She had also become needy when he showed her some attention, and sherefused to let go. What she didn't count on was the baby in her stomach, oneshe had no idea of what to do with it.
