Chapter 10: Truth and Dare

Summary: Sebastian and Kathryn confront Annette
"Will you slow down?" I yelled at Sebastian. We were riding in his car on our way to Annette's and I swear to god he was going like 90 in New York traffic! I felt like I was in one of those driving video games.

"Why?" Sebastian asked me and thankfully he didn't take his eyes off the road to look at me. "I thought you liked a little danger."

I shot him a dirty look. "But I like to live!"

Sebastian chuckled at me. "Tell me why again your coming with me."

"I told you." I snapped at Sebastian. "I want to see Annette's face when you onfront her."

"Are you sure there's not another reason?" Sebastian asked me.

"Hardly." I snapped at him and turned my face to stare out the window.

Sebastian got the hint and said no more. "There we are." Sebastian said as he skidded into Annette's driveway and barely missed crashing into Mr. Hardgrove's Volvo by inches.

I shook my head at his reckless driving and opened the car door. "Ready?" I aksed Sebastian.

He looked over at me grinned. "More then ever."

I walked up to the front porch and rang the door bell. Mrs. Hardgrove answered the door and smiled at me, but she looked behind me and her smile turned to a scowl when she saw Sebastian. "What is he doing here?" Mrs. Hardgrove demanded.

I was ready for this and smiled at Mrs. Hardgrove. "I tracked him down and he wants to do what is right."

Mrs. Hardgrove gave me a doubtful look . "Is that so?" She asked Sebastian.

Sebastian gave his most remorseful look and hung his head. "Yes Mrs. Hardgrove." He said in his most respectful tone.

Mrs. Hardgrove stood there for a few seconds, I guess debating if he was serious. "Very well."She said and motioned us to come in.

As soon as we stepped in the house we were greeted by a stern looking Mr. Hardgrove. "What the hell are you doing in my house?!" Mr. Hardgrove demanded with his arms crossed against his chest.

"Now Henry." Mrs. Hardgrove said gently. "Where's Annette?"

"ANNETTE!" Mr. Hardgrove bellowed up the stairs.

"Yes, Daddy?" Annette asked as she came down the stairs. Her expression changed though when she saw us and she gave us a sour expression. "What do they want?" Annette asked rudely.

"I believe Sebastian has something to say to you." Mr. Hardgrove said and looked over to Sebastian as to prompt him.

All the while I studied Annette, waiting to see if she showed any indication that she was lying. I don't know what, maybe some fear or anything. We all under estimated her, because the bitch showed nothing!

"Annette." Sebastian said gently and walked towards her. Only then did I see her slightly flinch as he made his way towards her. "I have come to tell you." He continued in that gentle tone of his. He bowed his head slightly and looked so humble. God he was good! If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was about to throw himself on her mercy. Sebastian paused and then suddenly raised his head. "That your a lying bitch!" He spat out.

"How dare you!" Mr. Hardgrove yelled out and put his arm around his daughter. "You have some nerve!"

Annette cowered in her father's arms and only then did I see her facade drop. She truly looked terrified. Anyone else would think it was fear of Sebastian, but I knew the truth.

"Tell your father when exactly we had sex." Sebastian demanded.

"You are out of line!" Mr. Hardgrove said angrily and pulled his daughter closer. "Hasn't she been through enough?"

Sebastian laughed sarcastically. "With all due respect Mr. Hardgrove, your daughter is a lying slut!"

"That is it!" Mr. Hardgrove bellowed out, his face red with anger. "You will not disrespect my daughter any longer!"

"Who's baby is it really?" Sebastian perisited.

Annette shot me a hateful look. In return I smiled coldly at her. That was when she realized I knew the truth and a look of cold understanding crossed her face. She knew that even if her father believed her today, I would make sure the whole world knew the truth.

"STOP IT!" Annette yelled out.

Mr. Hardgrove looked over at his daughter. "Honey, what's the matter?"

"It's true!" Annette said near hysterics. "I lied! Sebastian and me never had sex. He isn't the father of the baby."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and a silence swept the room.

"Pumpkin?" Mr. Hardgrove asked, unsure of what exactly what just happend.

"It's true!" Annette sobbed. "I was so angry when I was Kathryn and Sebastian together I just snapped and made up this lie!"

"Are you even-?" Mrs. Hardgrove asked.

"Yes!" Annette sobbed. "But it's not Sebastian's. It's Court's. We slept together after you caught me with Sebastian in my room."

Holy Shit! My mouth literally dropped to the floor! Court Reynolds! Wow! Miss Pure was hardly that! The little slut was sleeping around! I almost burst out laughing at the irony of it all!

Mr. Hardgrove hung his head in shame and gave Sebastian a repentful look. "If you two will excuse us. We need some private time."

"Of course." Sebastian said politely. He was a gentleman I'll give him that. Instead of gloating he grabbed my arm and shoved me out the front door.

"Wow!" I said once we were in his car. I just shook my head.

"I know." Sebastian said and looked over to me. "So what's next?" He asked.

"What?"

Sebastian sighed and shook his head. "Don't play games with me."

I remained silent and thought about it. What was next? Without Annette between us where did that leave us? He lied to me, but did it really matter? Sebastian gently lifted my chin with his hand and looked at me. "Well?" He prompted.

I reached over and put my hand on his leg. "Do the seats recline?" I asked him.

He looked over at me puzzled briefly, but he grinned after a few seconds. "Who needs to recline?" He asked and moved my hand over his crotch.

I smiled at the feel of his bulge. "Not me." I smiled wickedly at him.
