Chapter 2
Tiffany's View
We just got home and I put Michelle down. She ran off to her playroom and I walked into the kitchen. I got a cup out and filled it with water. I gulped it down fast. I was still so shocked that I ran into Brian and I didn't even know it until Michelle said daddy. I can't believe it one bit. After 3 years I run into him. I sat down at the table and put my head in my hands.
Brian's View
We pulled up to the house and we all sat still and quiet. Nick finally said something, "Are you going in?"
"I…I…guess," I said nervously.
"Do you want me to come in with you?" he asked.
"No, you guys would all yell at her and I don't want to hurt her to bad. I might even yell at her," I said looking at all of them.
"Good luck man," AJ said patting me on the shoulder.
I got out of the car and stuck my head back in the car, "Once I close the door park on the other side of the street."
"Why?" Kevin said in the driver's seat.
"Just do it," I said closing the door. I turned and walked up to the door and then turned around. Howie waved and then Kevin started up the street to come back down to the other side. I rang the doorbell and waited.
Tiffany's View
I lifted my head slowly from my hands to the sound of the doorbell. I heard little feet running to the door and then the door open. Michelle loves opening doors and closing them. I don't know why. The next thing I heard was, "DADDY!"
I shot up from my chair and ran to the door. Michelle was jumping up and down and Brian was at the door laughing. I walked over to Michelle and picked her up.
"What do want?" I asked trying to sound harsh.
"I need to talk to you."
"We have nothing to talk about," I said starting to close the door.
He put his foot in the way and pushed it open, "Tiffany we do have something to talk about and I'm not leaving until I get some answers."
I looked in his eyes and I saw sadness but anger all at the same time. I couldn't turn him down so I opened the door wider for him to come in. He walked in slowly and I put Michelle down. She walked off slowly never taking her eyes off of Brian. Once she left the room I headed to the living room and sat on the couch. Brian followed and sat as far away from me as possible.
"Nice house," he said looking around.
"Thank you, so what do you need to know?"
"I wanted to know why you hurt me so bad."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about."
"Are you talking about the park?"
"What do you think?"
"I didn't' mean to hurt you."
"What are you talking about!?"
"I lied to you."
"I know you lied to me I just want to know why you cheated on me."
"I didn't cheat on you and all the other things that I said were all lies. None of it was true."
"You know I don't know if your telling the truth or not. You're not like I thought you were."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I thought you were sweet and nice but you turned out to be the total opposite. You're actually a bitch."
I looked down at my hands and started to fiddle with them. Tears were forming in my eyes and soon they were falling down my face.
"Crying isn't going to do anything. I now it's all an act."
"It's not an act."
"You can't fool me."
"Look Brian I lied to you about all the things I said to you at the park! None of it was true and I'm not a bitch! You're just an asshole who wanted sex and because of that I got pregnant! The only good thing that happened was that I had a child that I love more than anything! For the last 3 years I have been alone and I haven't had anyone else in my life! You were the only one that I really ever loved and every night I cry and cry at the thought of you! I can barely look at Michelle without thinking about you! She's so much like you and I can't do anything to change that!"
"Michelle's my daughter?" he said standing up.
"Yes," I said wiping the tears away.
"Can I see her?"
"Hold on," I said getting up. I walked into the playroom and picked up Michelle who was playing with her teddy bear. I brought her back to Brian who was on the couch fiddling with his hands nervously. I sat her on his lap and sat down next to him.
"Hi Michelle, I'm your daddy," he said choking down a sob.
"Daddy," she said hugging him.
"I love you," he said hugging her back.
"Love you too," she said.
"So how old are you?"
"3!"
"You'r sure are a big girl!"
"Yep and I turn 4 soon!"
"Really?! When's your birthday?'
"It's February 15. She dosen't know that yet," I said. He looked at me and slightly smiled.
"I'm gonna have to buy you something special for your birthday. You just have to wait."
She just smiled. He looked at me again and then back at Michelle and said, "I'm gonna talk to mommy Ok? You can go play some more."
"Ok bye daddy!" she said jumping out of his lap and running off. He looked after her with the biggest smile on her face.
He turned to me and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't want to ruin your life. I knew your career was at its all time high and having a pregnant girlfriend around would just be a huge burden on you and the other guys."
"Why would you think that?"
"I was just worried you would break up with me."
"Tiffany you knew that I loved you and that I wouldn't have broken up with you. You should now that I'm not like that."
"I know and I'm sorry."
"I'll tell you what though. She's beautiful. Just like her mother."
I smiled at him and said, "Thanks. You haven't changed a bit."
"You haven't either. So how is everything?"
"Its been OK. I'm single and have no boyfriend and I'm the only one out of all my friends that has a child."
"I find that hard to believe."
"Why?"
"You're perfect and I would think that guys would be lining up to go out with you."
"You are way to sweet. So do you have a girlfriend?"
"Sorta"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I do have a girlfriend and it's Sara."
"The one at the club that one night?"
"Yeah, after you left I started talking to her more and we just ended up together."
"That's great!" I lied. My heart was breaking and I wanted to cry.
"Not really."
"Why not?"
"Our relationship isn't going to well. She's so demanding and all she wants to do is have sex."
"Have you guys you know?"
"No," he laughed.
I looked at him confused, "I thought you said that all she wants is sex?"
"I did"
"Ok I'm confused."
"You're to funny. What I mean is that she wants to have sex but I don't want to and she won't leave me alone about it."
"Oh Ok! So I was your last?"
"Yeah," he said looking into my eyes. I looked away quickly and said something, "I've also seen pictures of Leighanne and you."
"You have? Oh she came back a year after the park incident and she wouldn't leave. She kept bugging me about me taking her back. She just ended up in some of the pictures taken."
"OK," I said looking around the room .We were in an awkward silence.
"Tiffany?" Brian said.
"Yeah?" I said looking at him. He had scooted closer to me and he was looking deep into my eyes.
"Would you get mad if I kissed you?"
