REGRETS

Chap 25 now! Enjoy!

Thanks for the reviews! And I'm sorry I didn't update sooner, but I was very busy with school and everything.

And I don't own anything except the idea and the story I create.

Scott & Shelby's Apartment, A Few Hours Later

Man, I can't believe it. Oliver, Scott's stepfather is a total jerk. He keeps sending me knowing looks, like I'm gonna accept his advances. Okay, okay, he's totally smashed, but still…If he can't hold his drink, he shouldn't have drank that much. I swear, he better stop caressing mom's thigh or she's going to slap him in the face. I don't know how Susan would react if she was seeing him right now… There, she comes back with Scott from the kitchen with the dessert. My favourite, a chocolate cake…um, that smells so good! I get up and walk towards my fiancé with a smile. He smiles back and shakes his head…what's that? I swear, if he prevents me from eating it, he'll sleep on the couch for the rest of his life…

"Come on Shel, I was just kidding…even if you shouldn't…"

"Don't make me feel guilty…it's my last one."

"I know…that's why I'm letting you tasting it."

"Scott…put that damn cake onto the table before you drop it on the floor!" Susan orders with a smile as she sees her son playing with the plate in front of my eyes. Scott obeys at once…ah, mothers' power…I hope our babies will do the same…I read, in a magazine specialized in young parents and education, that children had to be educated to obey as soon as they were born…strange thing seeing as they can't understand what we're saying… Mom sits right next to me, afraid Oliver would try something else with her. I smile reassuringly at her. I won't even let him try again. Scott keeps glaring at the guy with menacing eyes; I think he saw the way he was looking at me earlier. He looks so cute when he's on his guard.

Oliver continues smiling like a fool and sits in front of me at the table. I narrow my eyes at him but it apparently has no effect. Okay… Scott sits beside me at my left and put his hand on top of mine. It sends me shivers…I can't believe the power he has on me…even after the thousand time he touches me, I still feel something special…it's magical.

"You want a small part, Shelby?" Susan asks me with a nice smile. Why a small one? I want a big, just as everyone else!

"Yeah. The doctor said I should be careful and watch my weight. But a part won't kill me" Urg! I hate myself! And that damn doctor even more!

"I know; Scott already told me." Interesting, uh? What's that? Oliver; the jerk, I feel his foot reaching for mine! Scott must have feeling me tensing, because he raises his eyebrow in question. I send him a look that says 'I'll tell you later' and take my plate from Susan's hand as she hands it to me. Scott nods but still glares at Oliver.

"Alice? You want some?" Susan asks mom with a small smile. I think she's embarrassed by her husband's actions…good thing, because he needs a punishment.

"Yes, give me a part equal to Shelby's please."

"Okay. Does that sound good?" Susan asks showing her the size of the part.

"Yes it's perfectly fine." Mom says as she looks at her smiling politely. Well, at least, the two of them seem to appreciate each other…

"I guess you don't want anything Oliver?"

"Me? No thanks…I'm not really hungry right now…could I just go lying down for a few?" He asks Scott and I with a small laugh…god, he's very bad…

"Sure…" Scott says with a sigh.

"Thanks guy, you're a good son…" Man, I wouldn't be surprised if he collapsed right now…

Same Place, About Fifteen Minutes Later…

Strange, Oliver isn't in the living room sleeping on the couch…where had he gone again? I go searching for him as Scott, Susan and mom are clearing the table. I go into the bathroom and the guestroom (soon to be babies' room, I know…) but no sigh of him. Only the bedroom stays. I enter it quietly, and switch the light. Here he is, lying completely naked on our bed stroking his…well you know! ON OUR BED! It's repugnant. Oh, god…I'm going to vomit! I hear Scott running towards me, with Susan and mom behind. I didn't even realize I had screamed.

"What is that Oliver?" Susan asks first, seeing as everybody else is too shocked to say a thing.

"Susan, baby, come on…I've been waiting for quite a while now…I want you, honey!" This is worst than I thought! Poor Susan…

"Dress up immediately…I'm bringing you home at once." Susan says dryly, walking outside the room fuming. We all follow her still in a daze. Scott wraps me in a hug and kisses my hair reassuringly. "I am sorry about that. I knew he shouldn't have drunk that much." She apologizes, a bit awkwardly.

"It's not your fault Alice…Just make sure he doesn't do that the day of the wedding." I say, kidding a bit, trying to lighten the atmosphere. Mom chuckles but Scott still puts his angry face on. I nudge him in the ribs and feel him relax. Oliver goes out of the room grinning, all dressed up and Susan leads him out.

"Goodnight everybody. And sorry again about him."

"Yes, goodnight."

"Night mom."

I know that chap was not the best…sorry about it. The next is already following, yeah, it's my gift to apologize about the time I took to update. Please REVIEW!
