Chapter 14
Tiffany's View
"W...What?" I asked sitting up straight.
"You heard me," Brian said seriously. I fiddled with my hands and got off of his stomach. I was about to get off the bed when Brian grabbed my waist and pulled me back.
"You believed that!?" he asked laughing slightly.
"Well, you sure seemed serious to me!" I said.
"I was only kidding. I love you with all my heart and I would never call off the wedding."
"I can't believe you said that Brian. That wasn't funny at all," I said angrily.
"Baby I was only giving you a taste of your own medicine," Brian said.
"I'm not that harsh! I would never joke about something like that!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't think you would take it seriously," Brian said softly. He stroked my cheek but I turned away.
"Tiffany, c'mon sweetie. It was only a joke," Brian said turning my head so I was looking at him. I just looked down.
"You just really scared me that's all," I quietly said.
"I'm really sorry. I just thought that I would get you back. I didn't think you would take it seriously."
"Well I did," I said.
"Tiffany please! I'm sorry!" he said. I looked up and him and sighed.
"Just don't do it again," I said.
"I won't I promise," he said wrapping me in a hug. He pulled back and kissed me softly.
"Ready for bed?" he asked looking into my eyes.
"Yeah," I said. We laid down and I put my head on Brian's chest like always. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
The Next Day
Darlene and Nick came over about an hour ago and we're just hanging out.
It's right after lunch and we're just lounging around outside by the pool.
Tiffany, Darlene and Michelle were on the other side of the pool and Nick
and I were sitting in some chairs watching them and talking.
"Hey Rok?" Nick asked taking his eyes off of Darlene and looking at me.
"Yeah Kaos?" I said looking at him.
"Do you know what's up with Darlene? She's been acting strange lately and
she's really worrying me," Nick asked worried.
"Um...well...no I don't know anything," I lied. Tiffany told me to not tell
anybody especially Nick so I'm not going to tell him.
"You do know something. You're lying. I know you to well Brian. I know when
you're lying or when you're telling the truth. Tell me. I really want to
know," Nick pleaded.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I know nothing," I shrugged.
"BRIAN! Tell me! I'm your best friend. We're not supposed to be keeping things
from each other especially if it's important," he said. I looked at him and
sighed. He really is worried. Tiffany wouldn't mind if I told him. She cares
a lot for Nick and she wants him to be happy and right now he's really really
worried. Telling him would just make him go back to his normal self.
"OK follow me," I said. I got up and walked toward the door. Nick was right
behind me.
"Honey? Where are you going?" Tiffany asked. I turned around and said, "We're
just going to get some drinks for everybody."
"Oh OK," she smiled. I closed the door and walked into the kitchen. Nick
was on the counter swinging his legs. I jumped up on the counter and sat
next to him.
"OK tell me," Nick said impatiently.
"OK last night I bugged Tiffany to tell me what Darlene told her. You see
when we were at the beach Darlene whispered something in Tiffany's ear and
Tiffany just got wide eyed. Well, Darlene wanted to talk so that's why they
went back to the house."
"OK keep going," Nick said.
"Well, I begged and begged Tiffany to tell me and finally she did. I promised
her that I wouldn't tell anybody but since you're so worried I'm just going
to tell you. Now don't do anything stupid and don't tell Tiffany that I told
you."
"OK I promise," Nick said.
"OK well Tiffany told me that Darlene is...well...Nick...Darlene is pregnant,"
I said.
Nick just got wide eyed and his mouth dropped open, "OH...MY...GOD!"
