The next day, They were all back home. And a week after that experience, with a few more moments between Chad and Taylor, Jordan came in with a magazine.
"Hello Little sister!" She gave her a hug "Chad's coming over to hang out." She sat at the counter
"Okay." Taylor smiled, Jordan blinked
"I notice there's no hostility." Jordan nodded "Fascinating." her eyes sparkled as she opened to a page "Look at the Bulls new slogan." She made a face and deepened her voice "Because only real men can take the bull." There it showed the entire team in the forest, shirts off and muscles gleaming. Which is probably why it was in Cosmo. Jordan's rarely read magazine.
Taylor giggled "3 days for that." Jordan giggled as well, There was soon a knock on the door, Jordan opened it to see Chad. "Well hello there." She smirked "Are you ready to get your butt kicked." She held up a basketball, Taylor rolled her eyes
"Oh believe me." Chad shook his head, holding another ball. "I've been ready." He winked at Taylor as a greeting
Taylor blushed "Well, you two have fun. I have to get dinner ready."
"Okay." Jordan said, closing the door.
Forget dinner. Taylor needed a drink. She had no idea how she was going to fix all this.
-Fake right and break left-
Chad breathed "I never knew Dwayne Wade would pass his skills down to his girlfriend."
Jordan beamed "Well…"
"Did Jasmine's father play a sport before he passed?" Chad asked as he thought of Jasmine
"Yes…" Jordan smiled weakly "He was very good at it too…"
"What sport?"
"Basketball…she might have inherited his skills as well."
"Oh, that's pretty good." Chad dribbled the ball, Jordan caught it
"Chad…" Jordan inhaled "I haven't been honest with you…"
"What was there to be honest about?" Chad asked curiously
Jordan closed her eyes and slowly exhaled, when she opened them she slowly began to fiddle with the ball "Jasmine's father didn't exactly…die…" she bit her lip
Chad's brown eyes blinked "Didn't, exactly die? That doesn't make any sense."
"It doesn't?" Jordan asked calmly as Chad suddenly zoned out. "Think hard…Chad…"
(Zoom in to Chad's eyes, flashbacks)
(Chaylor giggling, fall back on sheets)
(Phone call, bathroom Taylor looking)
"Honey, are you okay?"
"Yeah I-….*laugh in disbelief* I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
*inhale* "I'm…positive."
positive…positive…positive…positive…positive…positive…
(Screaming)
"I have to go Troy."
(Dive in, Show Jasmine)
"Um…"
"Oh! I'm sorry, here you go."
"Jasmine!"
(Where have I seen her before?)
"Oh Jasmine thank goodness you're alright!"
(Troy)
"Chad have you ever thought of the possibility that Taylor might not have cheated on you, but that Jasmine might be…
(End)
Chad was panting in disbelief, Jordan looked slightly panicked
"Chad? Chad are you alright?"
He couldn't breathe. He needed air. He was surrounded by it why was his body not absorbing it. He was dumbfounded. Everything made sense, everything but why. For FOUR years she had kept this from him. First words, first steps, first ANYTHING. And Why?
Chad dropped the ball and speed walked into the house. Jordan didn't bother stopping him, he looked absolutely mechanical. He might as well have been.
Chad opened the door, Taylor was leaning on the counter, red wine beside her.
Now Chad would never hurt Taylor. Heck- besides what anyone thought Chad would never hurt ANYONE. But this new sensation he felt led him in a slightly similar direction.
"Oh, hey Chad." Taylor acknowledged "Who won-" Chad grabbed her by her upper arms and pinned her to the wall.
"Taylor?" he grinned in a mad state "What happened to Jasmine's father?"
Taylor gasped "H-he died."
Chad nodded "Mm-hm. and how is it that he died sometime before or after Jasmine's birth and you were engaged to me during that time and then shortly after to Kevin somehow?"
Taylor blinked and blurted something false "I move on quickly!"
"Then tell me how that girl is exactly FOUR YEARS OLD?" Chad said "She doesn't belong to Kevin! There was no one else! You can't even get your lie straight if it is a lie! So that only leaves!-" his grin faded as Taylor's began to grow
"You." She laughed a bubbly laugh as she took another sip "Are you seriously just figuring this little mystery out? You're really just realizing the math?" she laughed again "You always were a bit slow Danforth."
"So…" Chad shook his head as Taylor took on the look of the joker.
"Mm-hm." she slowly nodded "Congratulations Danforth, you kind of have a beautiful…vibrant…intelligent- um…" she evilly looked at a photo on the wall of older Jasmine "…semi, baby girl." she grinned
*gasp!* Oooooh! What were your thoughts? I want to know from all of you! REVIEWS!
