This time he did not answer. He stood up straight, smirked, and then turned towards his right. I thought he was finally going to leave, but then, he walked right over to the open space in the counter, came to my side, and leaned down in my face. He slowly slid his left hand in my hair, tucking my locks behind my right ear, and softly placed his right hand on my stomach; making me absolutely freeze in my chair. He smelled really good, with a minty, fresh breath, and an unknown smell that I guessed belonged to him, then moved his lips right on my ear, making it look as if he was kissing it, but then he whispered out the heart-stopping words: "Sweetheart, I am the father of your baby....
