Love Lies

The Aftermath

        It’s been two weeks since Gia revealed she was pregnant. Chris and I haven’t talked to each other since the news. Basically he walked away when Gia told us she was three weeks along. I don’t know if the distance is because I told him we can’t be together or because of what Gia told us. But, if it is because of her, I hope he doesn’t believe her because I surely don’t.

        I know Gia and she would make up any type of lie just to get what she wants. Which, in this case, is Chris. Or revenge. Maybe even both.

        When I got home from school, Chris was sitting on the steps of my house. I instantly stopped when I saw him. Why did he just pop up after not talking to me for two weeks?

        “What do you want?” I ask while passing him to open the door.

        “For us to talk,” he says, standing.

        “You didn’t think about that two weeks ago? First you walked away when Gia told us she was ‘pregnant’. Then, you don’t talk to me for two weeks and now you just show hoping that what? I would run into your arms? That’s not how it works you know,” I say opening the door, full of anger.

        “No, but… wait, why the air quotes? You don’t think she’s pregnant?" he asks, shutting the door behind him.  He continues, "Please tell me you don’t because I promise you I haven’t slept with her since she started acting like a bitch. You have to believe me. You were  the only person I’ve touched in the last 3 weeks. I love you. Please believe me.”

        I look at him for what feels like a half an hour, but I know is only a few seconds. The look in his eyes is full of honesty. There’s a little voice in my head that’s telling me to believe him, but I push it to the side and put my guard up.

        “Why should I believe you? You haven’t even done anything in the last two weeks that tells me I should,” I say, holding back tears.

        He walks toward me, picks me up and pushes me against the wall. He forces my legs to wrap around his waist.

        “Let me prove it to you then. Give me a second chance to show you that we belong together. "

       Before I can get my sentence out, he pushes his lips onto mine. I try to fight him off, but lose myself in his firm lips moving in sync with my soft. I wrap my arms around his neck and let him kiss me anywhere he wants.

        He walks us over to the kitchen counter and places me on top of it. He begins to unbotton my shirt and kisses my breast.

        He continues to go down and unzips my pants. He pulls them down and runs his fingers over my clit. I let a moan escape my mouth and throw my head back.

        "Do you believe me know?" he asks, slipping his finger deep within me.

        I try to answer, the feeling running through my body stops me. I just let him continue and run my finger through his hair.

        Without having to say it, I know Chris and I are back together.
