Chapter 10 – "I'm Pregnant"

Roman sat in a corner of Tej's his head leaning against the wall his beer in his hand resting on his knee, his eyes were closed he was thinking about Rayne, but what else was new? That's all he had done since she had taken off to New York 2 weeks ago.

Rayne had called his cell phone a few times in the time she had been away but he didn't answer, he didn't know what to say and was afraid of breaking down over the phone. She had sent him text messages too he had read and kept them but hadn't replied. He took his phone from his pocket and opened one of the messages she had sent him:

Rome please answer your phone, I'm sorry I left I had to get away for a while sort everything out. Please don't be mad at me. I love you I know it might not seem like it right now but I do! Please just call me or text me.

That was the last text she had sent him four days ago and he hadn't replied. He put his phone back in his pocket and sighed then he felt it vibrate against his chest, he pulled it out again and looked at the caller ID, it was Rayne. He returned the ringing phone to his pocket and ignored the call.

Brian watched Roman from across the room and felt like shit his best friend was hurting and it was all his fault, if he hadn't have put the idea in Rayne's head about going to NY then maybe she never would have gone, although he had told her he approved of her and Roman and that she could stay she had gone anyway so maybe he wasn't completely to blame but still he was partly responsible.

"He's really taken it bad ain't he?" Suki asked standing besides Brian watching Roman to.

"Yeah and it's my fault"

"She had the chance to stay Bri, you told her that and she still left"

"I know but I put the idea in to her head about going and I didn't even take the time to ask if things were serious between them I just jumped to conclusions and told her point blank it had to stop"

"Stop blaming yourself and go over there and talk to him"

"And say what?"

"I don't know" Suki said staring at Roman. Who rested his head on the wall behind him again and closed his eyes. Melissa walked over to him, they were both to far away to hear what she said but Roman wasn't impressed by whatever it was and grabbed her hand and moved it away as she went to stroke it down his face. She said something else and walked away looking pissed off.

"And when he says no to a piece of ass like that you know the boys bugging about Rayne" Tej said slinking his arms around Suki.

"So Melissa is a nice piece of ass?" Suki asked.

Meanwhile…

Roman rested his head on the wall behind him and closed his eyes trying to block out the image of Rayne beneath him whilst he made love to her, but it was no good nothing was working if anything it was turning him on.

"Hey" he heard Melissa say, great just what I need right now? Melissa and all her bull shit! He opened his eyes as she stepped in front of him

He sighed "hi"

"I've missed you" she said "and I heard your little girlfriend left so I was thinking…" she began stroking her hand down his face but he grabbed it and pushed it away

"Well don't think…and don't you dare think anything about her" Melissa's friends stood a few feet away and laughed.

Melissa sighed she had been shot down she wouldn't let him get away with it she would get her revenge "we need to talk, its important, meet me outside in 5 minutes" before he could reply she walked away.

Roman stood up and walked towards Brian and Suki who were obviously talking about him as they were staring at him and stopped talking as he approached, "I'm out" Roman told them, he was leaving but had no intension of talking to Melissa.

"Taking Melissa home?" Suki asked her eyebrows raised

"So what if I am Suk's?" Roman asked, he was pissed off with everyone expecting him to wait around for Rayne to decide she wanted him! Everyone had told him to hang in there and that she would only be gone 6 weeks, he wasn't about to wait around for her to come home and tell him she didn't want him. "Rayne don't want me! She left remember? I'm not with her or anyone else I can do what the fuck I want"

"And when she comes home and you've been with Melissa?" Suki asked

"when she comes home she'll be with someone new or wont want me so what does it matter?"

"Rome she does want you she's just been through a lot she needs…" Suki began to stand up for her friend.

"Time" Roman interrupted "time to forget about me"

"Rome come on that isn't fair" Brian spoke up

"no you know what isn't fair BrO? The first girl I ever said I love you to and meant it, had to be the one person I could talk to, had to be my best friend and she took off! She wasn't forced she went willingly and now I'm all fucked up but i can't run off to new york!"

"Rome we know it must hurt but…" Suki began

Roman interrupted "no you don't Suk's you don't know how it feels, you don't know what it feels like to have someone rip your heart out and break it in to a million pieces, you don't know what its like to want someone that doesn't want you, you don't know Suk's so don't pretend you do" Roman told them angrily, he was sick of people telling him how they knew how he felt they didn't! No one did! He walked out of the garage leaving them to think about what he had said.

Roman walked to his car trying his hardest suppress the tears that wanted to fall, he had cried the first three days after she had left, he didn't usually cry, he was a man, but Rayne made him like mush and he couldn't help the emotions that he felt about her. The tears were angry tears now he was pissed off with everything. He got in to his car and hit the steering wheel with his hands a couple times. "FUCK!" he yelled aloud. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breathes, he was going crazy thinking about her all the time, he wanted to smack his head against a wall a couple hundred times to get rid of the memory of her.

Someone knocked on his window and he jumped, he looked up to see Melissa staring at him through the window he rolled down the window "Melissa please I'm so not in the mood for you right now can we…"

Melissa stopped him quickly by saying "I'm pregnant"

"What!" Roman almost yelled. Melissa was pregnant! And if she was telling him he figured it was his although if her reputation was true he couldn't be sure.

"Yeah 3 weeks and yeah it's yours! I haven't been with anyone since you" she said sincerely

"We always used protection"

"Yeah well one must have split or something cause I'm pregnant" Roman sat in the car speechless, his head was fucked up because of Rayne but now he had something extra to add to it. "Say something"

"Get in we need to talk" he told her starting the engine as she walked around the car.

Brian walked in to the quiet house at 3AM the same night, Mia had work in the morning and it was easier for her to go from her house instead of Brian's so he was alone. Roman's car was in the drive way so he knew he was home. He walked in to find Roman half hanging off the couch with a three quarter empty bottle of Jack Daniels in his left hand.

Brian took the bottle from his hand and tried to wake him to get him to get in to his bed where he would be more comfortable. "Rome" he said shaking him slightly, Roman stirred but didn't wake he adjusted his position on the couch and began to snore. Brian had no way of getting him upstairs without waking him so Brian attached the lid to the bottle of Jack Daniels and put it in the kitchen. He left Roman on the couch and went to bed.

Brian walked down the stairs the following day and in to the kitchen, Roman was sat at the table with his head in his hands and a box of aspirin besides a glass of water. Brian made him self a cup of coffee before sitting across the table from Roman. "Bro, drinking ain't the answer to forgetting about Rayne"

"She's only 80 of my problem, man" Roman moved his hands from his face and looked Brian in the eyes before saying "Melissa's pregnant"

Brian held the coffee mug that was half way to his mouth "that's only a 20 problem?"

Roman sighed and ran his hands over his face and head "I said I'll stand by her whatever she wants to do and she wants to keep it"

"Shit" Brian let out a deep breath almost as if he had been holding it.

"Yeah shit! What the fuck am I gonna do man? I don't love the girl I barely like the girl, I don't wanna be with her but she's carrying my kid"

"You sure?" Roman looked at Brian not understanding his question so Brian elaborated "you sure it's your kid? She ain't exactly miss only sleep with one guy"

"She seemed confident it was mine, said she ain't slept with anyone else but me and what do I do? Deny its mine and wait till it's born to have DNA tests? I ain't doin that shit man, if it is my kid I'm gonna take care of them both" Roman stressed "I ain't gonna be no fucking pussy like my dad and take off and leave her alone!"

"Just think it through man" Brian advised "if it isn't yours you will have wasted 9 months taking care of someone else's unborn kid! And if you don't wanna be with the women, just give her money and shit for now then when the baby is born make some plans to see it"

"Things weren't meant to turn out this way" Roman growled

"And what were they meant to be like? Falling for Rayne? Was that part of your life plan?"

Roman looked at him again "no, it definitely wasn't my plan, I was gonna be a playa for life man, travel the world screwing anything that walked and then Rayne happened!" he groaned

"You met the one that made you wanna stop all that shit" Brian nodded in understanding

"Yeah" Roman sounded as if he regretted falling for Rayne "dude my life sucks! I can't be with the woman I love and the woman I don't particularly like is having my kid!"

"If you can't love the one you want love the one your with!"

Roman chuckled at his friend, Brian was being all philosophical "that's fucked up man, but I don't have any other choice!" Roman stood up and walked to the sink and tipped the remaining water from his glass in to the sink then walked to exit to the kitchen "oh if you talk to Rayne don't mention any of this to her, I'll tell her when she gets home"

"Sure thing man"

Oh look a nifty review button, imagine that!
