Chapter 50
Over at Nick and Darlene's House: That Night
Nick's View
I was sitting in my bedroom when Darlene walked in
and closed the door. I looked at her confused as she came over and sat next
to me on the bed.
"Hi," she said quietly.
"Hi," I slightly smiled.
"We need to talk," she sighed.
"Yeah we do."
"So...start talking," she said.
"Darlene, like I said so many times before...I'm deeply
sorry. You have no idea how sorry I am. I feel horrible. It was a spur of
the moment thing and I didn't really know what I was doing. I'm an idiot
for hurting you and kissing Tiffany. I don't ever want to hurt you. I love
you too much," I said taking her hand in mine and squeezing it
affectionately.
"I was just really surprised when I saw my boyfriend
and my best friend making out."
"I know, I thought you kinda handled it pretty well.
I mean if you didn't go into labor I don't know what you could have done
but I'm glad you went into labor then. You were about to flip," I giggled.
She just smiled at me.
"I was going to kick your ass and maybe Tiffany's
but I don't think I would have succeeded since I was as big as a whale."
I smiled and kissed her hand, "So do you forgive
me?"
"Well, I don't know. I sure would like a whole stadium
filled with stuffed animals and candy," she laughed.
"I don't have that much money."
"Oh please! If Brian can spend that much money then
so can you."
"Would you just settle for a kiss?" I asked giving
her puppy dog eyes. She grinned at me and nodded her head. I lifted my hands
and held her face gently and brought my lips to hers. I kissed her softly
and deepened it a little. She kissed back obviously wanting more. I kissed
more passionately and slid my hands down her sides and rested them on her
waist. Right when I was going to lay her down I heard a baby cry out. I pulled
away from Darlene and looked toward the door.
"It's Alyssa," Darlene mumbled. I ran my hand through
my hair and smiled at her.
"Want me to go get her?" I asked.
"No no, I'm the mother. I should go get her," she
said getting up and kissing me on the lips before she exited the room. I
smiled as I watched her leave. I'm really stupid. I'm in love with the most
wonderful woman and I risk our wonderful relationship for no apparent reason.
I'm so relieved that she came and talked to me. I was beginning to go insane.
Not talking to her and her ignoring me was too much. I'm never going to risk
our relationship again. I've learned my lesson and I'm never going to lose
Darlene. I love her and I always will no matter what.
Over at Brian and Tiffany's House
Brian's View
I was sitting on the beach watching the sun go down
and of course thinking about Tiffany. I'm still kinda shocked at how I saw
her and Nick kissing, Well...more like making out. I was going to cry but
I just sucked it up. If I wanna get over her I gotta stop being so emotional
towards what she's done.
"Bri?" I heard Tiffany's soft voice behind me. I turned
my head and saw her long light purple skirt flapping in the wind and her
arms crossed over her chest. I guess the light purple sweater didn't keep
her warm enough.
"What do you want?" I asked coldly.
She walked over to me and sat down tucking her hair
behind her ears.
"We need to talk," she said softly looking at me.
"We have nothing to talk about Tiffany."
"Yes we do..."
"I don't want to talk about you and Nick making out,"
I said shaking my head.
"That was an accident. It should have never
happened."
"Just like our relationship," I said quietly.
"No...Brian..."
"Our relationship was a mistake. I'm glad you broke
up with me," I said looking into her eyes.
"You are?" she asked sadly.
"Yeah, I can finally move on with my life. I don't
have to worry about you anymore," I shrugged. Her eyes began to well up with
tears.
"Why are you gonna cry? Why should you care what I
say? It's not like you love or care about me."
"That's not true Brian," she said. A couple of tears
escaped her eyes.
"Yes it is, you even admitted you didn't love me
anymore."
"No...Brian....I still love you," she said.
"HA! You change your mind so easily? I don't see how
you could love me. You sure didn't act like you did when you were kissing
Nick."
"BRIAN! I miss you! I love you and I want to be with
you! Why are you being so difficult!?" she cried.
"Me being difficult!? This is all your fault! You
just had to break up with me!"
"I did it for the both of us! I thought it would do
us some good!"
"Oh come on! Breaking my heart and putting me into
depression would help us?"
"I just thought some time away from each other would
just let us think and have some time to ourselves."
"I didn't want any time to myself! I was happy with
you and only you! Tiffany I love you and I was hoping we would get married
but I don't think that will be happening in my future any time soon. As of
now...I'm putting everything that we went through behind me and just moving
on. Christian and Michelle are the only ones that I am ever going to be willing
to admit came from us. There is no us anymore and I'm accepting that. We're
through..." I said getting to my feet and starting to walked back toward
the house.
"BRIAN! PLEASE!" Tiffany yelled getting up and running
up behind me and putting her hand on my shoulder. I turned around and brushed
her hand off.
"Will you just stop? We're through...get used to it,"
I said coldly
"Please...I love you," she said as tears streamed
down her face.
"You love me? You treat love like some game. You don't
care who you hurt...you have no heart."
"Why are you being like this?"
"Am I not the man I used to be? I admit I've changed
but that's all because of you. This is your fault. If you would have never
broken up with me or kissed Nick none of this would have happened. We would
be happily married in each others arms enjoying each others company but not
now. Right now I don't even want to see you. You make me sick," I said and
then turned around.
"I don't care what you say Brian Thomas Littrell...I
will always love you!" she called after me. What a joke! Does she really
think I would believe that? She's hurt me too many times and I'm not going
to let her do it again. I'm going to find someone who will treat me better
and love me with all her heart and soul. It's sad because I thought my search
was over for that girl. I thought that girl was Tiffany but obviously I was
wrong.
