I woke up very uncomfortable on the sofa and my head under a sleeping bag. It took me a couple of seconds to remember what had happened the previous night, all I knew was I had a splitting headache from crying so much and I was lying next to a warm half naked body. I turned to hug it thinking it was Vyvyan and then realised with horror it was Rick. Oh god no! Please no! We definetley did not have sex I know we didn't I was very very sober last night thanks to my pregnancy but still I remembered the tender kisses and the reassurance he gave me, he promised he would stay with me all night to keep me safe and he held me until I fell asleep. That kind of tenderness I didn't get from Vyvyan, he wasn't that type of man. He was a rough lover, and a rough guy he rarely showed signs of affection and NEVER in public or in front of his friends, but Rick was different. Nevertheless, it was Vyvyan who made me feel weak inside when I saw his face, it was Vyvyan who I wanted to be with forever and have his child, and it was Vyvyan who I had cheated on last night…oh hell. Rick stirred and awoke looking at me with his bluey eyes. They were paler than Vyv's, less vivid, but still pretty nice. It was almost like a dream laying there with him, like the last couple of months had never even happened. Although I knew they had, and my Vyvyan was upstairs in my bed. Rick smiled at me.
"Morning," he whispered.
"Morning," I smiled back. Suddenly I heard footsteps on the stairs oh shit shit shit!! "Its Vyv! Quick get up!" But Rick didn't move in time and Vyv stumbled into the living room to find me and Rick under a sleeping bag together. He stood in stunned silence for a brief second and then erupted.
"What the BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!" He ran over grabbed Rick by the hair and pulled him out from under the sleeping bag. Seeing him topless he seemed to be boiling with rage and smacked him across the room and down onto the floor. I sat up, and got out and ran to Vyvyan.
"Vyv! Stop! Its not what it looks like! Please!" He shoved me aside, pushing me to the sofa and advanced on Rick again. "VYVYAN STOP!" I cried as loud as I could but there was nothing I could do as I watch Vyv punch Rick two or three times in the head before picking him up and throwing him out of the front door. Then he turned to face me.
"How dare you!" He stormed towards me as a recoiled onto the couch, "HOW DARE YOU! After ALL you have put me through with this baby and now you do THIS??? You DISGUST me!" He grabbed SPG's cage and headed towards the front door as I wept into the sleeping bag.
"Hang on Vyv!" SPG called out from his cage.
"Oh shut up you pathetic hamster" Vyv continued.
"Vyvyan for once in your life make the use of me being able to talk and listen!! She didn't sleep with Rick!" Vyv stopped outside my front door and looked at SPG.
"How the fuck d'you know." Vyv growled.
"I was in the room the whole time in my cage, she was upset and he went to make sure she was alright because you were snogging Alexa all night!" Vyv threw SPG onto the ground.
"Don't be bloody stupid I never touched the bitch!"
"You did Vyvyan and Jordan barricaded herself in the bathroom for an hour because of you! Me and Kesh had to sort her out!!" Vyv stood in silence for a moment until his mobile went off. He checked the text message and it was from Alexa.
"Hey Vyv, thanks for last night it was fantastic ;) when you wanna do it again? A xx" Vyv turned to SPG.
"Shit…" He said. "But they didn't do anything??"
"They had a kiss and a cuddle but I hardly think you are in any position to be shouting and beating the life out of Rick do you??" SPG pointed out. Vyv was still angry and shaking but realised that SPG was right as much as he HATED the fact that he was. "So…" SPG put his paws together thoughtfully, "What you gonna do now?" He gestured towards Rick who was lying in a crumpled heap in the driveway of my flat. Vyv sighed and picked Rick up and made him stand. Rick winced away from him but Vyv just stood there.
"…Sorry…" He managed gruffly. Rick brushed himself down, and folded his arms.
"Maybe if you treated her properly in the first place I would never have been there, you just think about that VYVYAN!" He flicked the Vs at Vyv and limped out the drive and towards his shared house. Vyv walked back to SPG and stood with his hands in his pockets, shivering.
"He had a point…" SPG started
"Alright alright I get it ok??!" Vyv snapped at SPG. SPG shrugged and retreated into his bed leaving Vyvyan to decide what to do next. He paused for a while, pacing up and down the drive smoking a cigarette and debating what to do. What a complete dick head! How could he fly off the handle like that! He had always had this temper as long as he could remember and it made him more angry because he lost it than why he lost it in the first place! Eventually he knocked on my door. I rushed to the door, thinking it might be Rick beaten up and needing some attention but it was a very very humble looking Vyvyan, kicking the ground, hands in pockets and slumped in a lazy stand. I stood peering around the door, nervously.
"Hi…" I said shakily.
"Hi…can I come back in please.." He said not looking up. I analysed him for a moment, and then let him in the door. He shuffled in and went and sat in the living room. I followed but didn't sit beside him. I already felt really ill from the morning sickness and the stress, I didn't want anymore. "I'm sorry I shoved you…you're pregnant and I shouldn't have and I'm sorry…" He said meekly. He still hadn't looked me in the eyes and I could see he was ashamed. This must be really hard to say for him, but I was still angry about the previous night so I was going to make him squirm a little bit longer.
"Vyv..you should apologise to Rick."
"I have done… I made sure he left alright. I lost it when I saw him with you…then I found out…" He trailed off.
"Oh you forgot about Alexa then did you?"
"Yes…I didn't realise until SPG told me. I didn't believe him at first but then she text me and I knew it was true." He sighed. "Look I'm not used to caring about people, or relationships, or any of that crap, this is all new to me…" I cut him off.
"That doesn't mean you have to snog one of your exes because you're drunk! We are meant to be having a baby!!"
"I know I know!" He stood up and grabbed my arms "I'm sorry I'm so sorry but I didn't know what I was doing!!" I wrenched myself free.
"Why do you have to be so false all the time…you're so image obsessed around them, and you're so violent all the time I don't understand and I hate it! I cant have a child in that environment I just can't!" Vyv stepped backwards.
"Everyone has left me in my life but I'm not gonna beg, I don't do begging." He folded his arms. "If you're gonna break up with me then get on with it."
"I'm not going to break up with you, luckily SPG talked me out of it because unlike your so called friends we can see the good in you underneath all this image bollocks and I want you to be a father to my baby." He scoffed.
"There is no good in me, I am as I am take it or leave it."
"Well I'm taking it, but if that ever happens again I won't. I want to be your one and only Vyvyan and if I can't be then I need to know now." Vyv sighed.
"I'm sorry I'm used to doing what I want but I do want to be with you and I do want the baby I just aint used to this!"
"Well get used to it Vyv because its here and its real. You decide if you can take it and come back when you have decided. I love you to death and I have told you what I want, but I cant go through this again its too hard…" I paused. "It destroyed me seeing you kissing her last night…I didn't know what to do." He moved towards me and put his arms round my waist, pulling me close. Agghh those eyes again, he knows how to make me give in! I melted in his arms.
"I swear I wont ever do that to you again…not ever…" He whispered into my ear then started to kiss my neck. I tried to fight it but I couldn't any more… I found his lips and took him in a fierce kiss. My phone beeped and broke us apart. Vyv smiled at me. "I'm gonna go get a drink, this vodka has made my mouth like sandpaper." He slunk into the kitchen. I checked my phone and my mouth fell open with shock.
"Jordan hi, listen last night was great you deserve so much more than Vyvyan and I miss you…last night hit home how much I felt for you and I was wondering…dyou think we can give it another go?? Love Rick xXx"
