Courtney had rushed up the stairs after the elimination ceremony " Ugh not again" she muttered as she ran into the bathroom. She had been feeling sick all morning but just shrugged it off as the flu.
After throwing up three times she ran some cool water and splashed it on her face when she heard a knock on her door " Hold on a second " she called out as she went and answered he door
" Lightning?" Courtney gave the jock a small smike
" Are you busy now?" the jock asked
She shook her head " No not really "
" I was hoping we could have some alone time " He smiled
" Yeah of course" she had forgetten that Lightning and Duncan had won alone time with her. " Would you like to come in?"
" i was hoping we could go outside for a bit" he replied
Courtney wasnt used to seeing this side of Lightning " Sure let me grab my jacket " she opened the door wider allowing Lightning to come in while she grabbed a jacket
" All ready " Courtney said
" Sha- awesome!" the jock exclaimed
Chris had grown tried of the guys downstairs and headed off to his room to think about everything that had happened and about how the future of his and Courtney's relationship.
He sighed deeply before grabbing a beer and taking out his cell phone.
Lightning and Courtney made their way outside, he held the door open for Courtney
She smiled " Thank you"
He surprised her again by taking her hand in his and walking over by the pool where he had two chairs already there.
" It's a beautiful night" she said truthfully
Lightning had moved his chair closer to Courtney's
" I like the stars" he said as he looked up at the sky
Courtney looked up and she was immediately cut off by the jock
" Its cool your a single mom" He spoke honestly " My dad was my biggest role model"
The brunette looked at him " Thanks"
" So are you and your father close?" She asked
" yeah my mom wasnt around much" He kept his gaze on the stars
Courtney felt bad for him and patted her hand on his back " Im so sorry to hear that"
" Aint no thang " he smiled " So does your daughter see her dad?"
Courtney knew she'd eventually have to anwer this question. She took a deep breathe and nodded her head
" Yes. She see's him most days"
Before she could finish Lightning had cut her off by placing a kiss on her lips
She pulled away still in shock that he had kissed her
" I..um. I should probably get back upstairs just in case Candice needs me" she stuttered out.
" Sure thang, Lightning could use some more protein"
Courtney had gotten up and walked to the door where they were met by Duncan
" Sup princess?" The duncan asked
"Lightning had a good time" The jock smiled
Courtney felt her face get warm " Me too " she looked back at Duncan
" Hey Duncan"
" Ready for our alone time?" he winked
" Yeah sure, where would you like to go?"she asked
A big cocky grin appeared on his face " Your room?"
She rolled her eyes " We can go to my room, but we are not doing anything except talking " She said firmly
" Fine Fine princess" he said disappointed
Duncan and Courtney had made their way back to her room and he made himself comfortable on her bed while she went to use the bathroom.
" Did ya fall in princess?" the deliquient joked
" Haha no ill be right out" As Courtney went to wash her hands she began to throw up again. Duncan had heard her and knocked on her bathroom door
" You ok princess?"
When she finally stopped she replied " Yeah i think its just the flu"
She washed her hands and her face and came back out
" not looking so hot princess" Duncan stated
Courtney threw a pillow at him " Shut up"
" Easy now" he patted the bed next to him
Courtney sat down next him " So i have to ask you something." She said as she turned to face him
" Why did Blainely bribe you to get back together with me?" she looked duncan right in the eye
His face went white as his eyes widened " What?"
" Duncan i already know that she bribed you to do it" she looked down
" I really need to know why. Look earlier you apologized for the all the Gwen stuff" She paused and looked up at him
" If you really meant it tell why Blainely wanted you to get back together with me "
Duncan sighed " Ill tell you everything if you tell me who Candice's dad is"
Courtney froze she couldnt tell duncan who Candice's dad was but she had to know why Blainely she wanted Duncan to get back with her..
" okay ill tell you but you go first"
He chuckled " You really dont want anyone to know who her dad is, Why is that?" he questioned
" Look its compliacated me and her dad are on and off alot " she sighed
" Princess its ok i know " he patted her hand
" Know what exactly?" she raised her eyebrow
" Its pretty obvious who Candice's dad is"
" It is?" she decided to play along with him.
" Yeah Scott's the dad"
Courtney busted out laughing " you think " Laughs more " Scott's her dad?"
Duncan wasnt expecting this reaction " But if Scott isnt the father than who is?"
She took a deep breathe " Ill tell you once you start explaining the whole Blainely thing" she smirked
" Fine but afterwards you have to tell me who her real dad is" he retorted
She held her hand out " Deal"
He shook her hand " You have to promise not to hit me"
" I promise i wont hit you" she looked at him " Now can we get on with the story?"
" Ease up princess im getting there" he said firmly
" It was right after season 2 and we had just broke up again and Blainely told me she had some dirt on you. "
" Dirt on me?" Courtney interrupted
" Remember the custody case over britany? That dirt she had on you was supposed to help me win"
" I remember the custody hearing , but what dirt and why would she offer to help you?" she questioned
" If ya give me a chance to finish i'd explain it to ya" he snapped
" Sorry go on "
" Anyways as i was saying Blainely said she had dirt on you. I was curious so she told me to meet her in her hotel room after Celebrity Manhunt ended." He gazed over at her
" I went and just so you know nothing happened between us, she did try but i turned her down " he stated
Courtney was intrigued " Blainely tried to sleep with you? And you refused?"
" Yeah and she's ugly of course i refused! Now back to the story Blainely had said that you werent as innocent as you lead people to believe"
Courtney scouffed
" She told me that you were sleeping with Chris and that she could prove it "
Courtney's face fell Chris had been telling the truth. " She really said that?"
Duncan nodded his head " She said she had tapes and pictures "
Courtney swallowed hard
" I didnt buy it so thats when she offered me 20,000 to get back with you"
" Wait she was bluffing about the tapes and pitcures?" Courtney asked
" Look princess i knew she was lying" his hand grazed her's " I knew you would never give that asshole the time of day"
Courtney faked a smile even though she hated to lie to Duncan it was for the best.
Duncan smiled back " Im sorry i took the money and then cheated on you, but i was dumb and needed the money and then me and you started to have more problems and i guess Gwen was an easy way out"
" An easy way out? i thought that you liked Gwen?"
He looked down at the ground " Gwen's cool but we were too much alike and that fire was never really there" he admitted
" Fire like how we would fight?" she asked
He nodded his head " She never really liked to argue and she didnt have that passion you did"
Courtney smiled " We did have some good times didnt we"
Duncan smiled as he scooted closer to Courtney " Yeah we did and we made up even better " he smirked
" Ugh your such an ogre" she hit him in the arm.
" Hey i just agreed with you" he rubbed his arm " So ya gonna tell me who Candice's dad is now?" he asked
Courtney looked at him " okay here's the thing her father doesnt exactly know about her "
" You had a baby and didnt tell the guy?" he was a little surprised
" No no nothing like that, I..uh went to the sperm bank and nine months later Candice was born" She didnt want to lie to Duncan but she couldnt exactly tell him the truth either
His eyes widen " A sperm bank? Are you sure your not just embarrassed by her dad?" he questioned
" Why would you ask that?"
" DJ let something slip earlier" His smirk grew wider
" What did DJ say? "
" Oh not a lot just how you and Chris were hanging out and how Chris started answering questions about your daughter " He looked at her with a cocky look on his face
" Still want to stick to the sperm bank story?"
Courtney felt her face turn red as her heart raced. She knew she shouldnt have lied but if Duncan knew the truth he'd probably tell everyone else.
" Chris and I always hang out, i mean he's the host and we judge challenges together, that's all" She tried to hide the fear in her voice " As for Chris answering questions, its just because he's spent alot of time with us. You know before the show actually started" She said matter of factly
" Ok princess whatever you say"
" Its the truth Duncan" she spat
" Look princess i do still like you but if you are involved with Chris you need to becareful, the guys a scumball" He warned
" Me and Chris?" she snorted " As if and trust me i know Chris as well as you do"
" Maybe you do, but all i have to do is make one phone call and ill have all the dirt on Chris to ruin his career" he said smugly
" Duncan what are you talking about? And i really dont get you, you apologize and tell me about Blainely yet you act like im not being honest with you" she retorted
He chuckled " Memeber when i said Blainely had videos and pitcures? "
Courtney's expression dropped as she nodded her head yes
" Then you remember how i said i didnt believe Blainely?"
Again she shool her head yes
" Well when i told her that she gave me 10 tapes and a huge stack of pictures and lets just say i've known about you and Chris for awhile now"
Courtney was speechless. Why would he confess everything and even try if he knew all along. " Then why not say anything until now?"
" Because princess what fun would that be?" he chuckled " Dont worry i wont say anything for now"
" What do you want Duncan?" she narrowed her eyes.
He smirked " Well see thats where things get interesting "
" What does that mean?"
" As long as im still here your secret will be safe" he said " Also i want you to get rid of farm boy and Noah"
" Scott and Noah? but what do they have to do with any of this?" she asked confused
" I dont like them besides its not like they really stand a chance with you anyways "
" Duncan you do realize that Chris and I are not together right?" Courtney blurrted out
Duncan lifted her chin to meet his gaze "Dont lie princess, i always find out "
She turned her head away " Its not a lie were not together "
" What a shame" a grin formed on his face " In the case i want to be the winner"
" What? Why? You clearly dont have any interest in me. All you want to do is play games" she spat
" Maybe so but i have missed parts of you" he winked
Courtney covered her mouth " i think im going to be sick" She got up and ran into the bathroom
" Im not that bad" He shouted after her .
After Courtney spending ten minutes in the bathroom throwing up Duncan had decided to go back to his room.
Courtney sat on the cold bathroom floor crying. "What am i supposed to do? " she asked herself, When she heard her bedroom door open .
"Court" Chris called out
She got up and came out of the bathroom "Hey" she said sadly
Chris rushed over to her and hugged her " Whats wrong?"
" Everything" she rested her head on his shoulder
He gently rubbed her back " Wanna talk about it?"
" Not really but it does involve you"
" You really are dumping me?" he asked nervously
" Chris Duncan knows about us and Candice" she began to cry softly
" You told him!?"
" No Blainely told him and showed him videos and pictures of us and DJ told him how we hang out and you know alot about Candice " she cried more " He figured it out and now he's telling me who to get rid of and he wants to win"
" That bitch " he gritted his teeth
" He even said he missed parts of me and winked, thank god i had to throw up or who knows what he would have tried to do"
Chris held her tighter " Its okay Court i'll take care of Duncan and Blainely "
" How? If you do anything either one of them could expose us and then you'd lose your show"
" Dont worry about that" he soothed " I meant what i said i want us to be a real family, if i lose this show who cares as long as i have you and Candice " he kissed the top of her head
She was taken back by Chris's words, in all the years thy've been together he had never spoke like that " Chris are you okay? "
" Never better babe"
" But why? i tell you Duncan could expose us and your fine with it?"
" Duncan can think he has the upper hand but he wont say anything ill make sure of it " He pulled her in for a kiss
She kisses him back and pulls back " What does that mean?"
" It means that ill take care of it"
Courtney puts her hands on her hips " Chris you're suppose to be honest with me and you know you still never told me everything about Blainely" she reminded him
He sighed as he sat on her bed " I know come here and ill tell you everything" He was really hoping she forgot.
Courtney climed into her bed and rested her head on his chest " I already know what Duncan told me but now i have to hear it from you"
" Like i said earlier Blainely found out i was sleeping with you and she threatened to expose us, well mostly me ." he looked down at her
" I know that part but why bring Duncan in on it?"
" She knew you guys were on and off again so i guess she thought if Duncan got back with you that would give her a chance to try and get with me " He took a deep breathe
" Look when i was younger i was an asshole especially to Blainely and for whatever reason she keeps trying to get with me"
" It doesnt make sense if you always reject her shouldnt she know that you're not interested in her?" she questioned
" Blainely doesnt give up and for whatever reason she is determined to make me pay for not wanting her " He played with Courtney's hair
" Sorry i was so hard on you earlier" She said
" I deserved it, but i did mean what i said" he paused " I really do want to marry you and for us to be a family "
She smiled " I want it too, but the only way its ever going to work is if we're honest with each about everything"
