This triangle involves Blair Cramer, John McBain, and Marty Saybrooke. I tossed Todd Manning into the mix as well to shake things up a bit!
~*~o~*~
Marty stood slowly with a look of fury upon her face. "Shut the hell up, Blair!" Marty exclaimed. "Todd and I are NONE of your business!"
Before Blair could insult her further, Marty unleashed a stinging slap across Blair's face. With wounded eyes, Blair clutched her reddened cheek. "Nice! It's not like I can hit you back, Marty, considering you're pregnant and as big a house and all!" Blair cried out as the urge to slug Marty made her see red.
"Enough, Blair. Let's go sit down," John gruffly insisted.
"You better keep a leash on your girlfriend," Todd remarked to John before he had the chance to lead Blair away toward another booth.
After Blair and John were seated, Todd stood, wrapping an arm around Marty. He looked at her in concern. "Are you okay, baby?" he asked.
"Yes. But I'm not hungry anymore. Let's just grab a snack through a drive-thru and head off toward Llantano Mountain," Marty suggested.
"Alright," Todd agreed, shooting another angry look over toward Blair and John. Because of Blair's big mouth, he wouldn't be getting his eggs and bacon now. Marty apologized to the flabbergasted waitress before she and Todd hurriedly left the restaurant.
Cautiously, the waitress then walked over to the booth where John and Blair had taken a seat. "Uhhhh... what would you like?" she asked them as though she were afraid of having her head bitten off.
"I'll have the special," answered John.
"I'll have the same," stated Blair.
The waitress walked away to fulfill their orders as Blair let out a heavy, pent-up sigh. "You didn't have to attack Marty," John quietly said.
"She's the one who hit me!"
"But you insulted her."
"I didn't like seeing her with you... and I don't like seeing her with Todd either! She irks me!" Blair cried out.
"Jealous much?" John asked, taking a sip of his glass of water.
"Hell yeah! She can't have you, John!"
"I don't think she wants me. It appears she has her clutches deeply into Todd. And even if she did want me, I don't want her. I'm with you, Blair. I already told you that."
Once again, Blair let out a heavy sigh as though she were trying to calm herself down. "I just wish she'd leave town, so I wouldn't have to look at her. What will the kids say when they find out Todd's with her and they are having a kid together?"
"You can let him do the explaining," John suggested.
"Jack already hates his father. He's out of control enough as it is. Todd just doesn't think. I guess he was thinking with his pecker that night he knocked up Marty..."
"Blair, can we talk about something other than Marty and Todd?" John asked hopefully.
"Sure, what would you like to to talk about?" Blair asked.
