Sophie looked like two wires had just connected in her brain. She walked over to Derrick and looked at Massie for a second. Derrick looked down at her and squatted down to her height. Sophie gave him a hug.
Next, she said something Massie least expected her to say to Derrick. "Daddy?" she murmured.
Westchester Soccer Field Stadium
Center Field
Friday, January 5th
12:17 a.m.
Massie felt her eyes widen in shock, as she stared at Sophie, and felt a bit dizzy. Derrick stood up and looked - really looked - at Sophie for the first time noticing her amber eyes and how her hair resembled his own. Claire looked and felt ready to kill Massie and her little brat (A/N: Not from Massie's view Claire's on that little brat part. I think Sophie is adorable!!) of a daughter for ruining everything, she started fast walking toward them, determination in her eyes. Determination to break them apart and make sure Massie and the brat went back to wherever the hell they came from.
Derrick's gaze moved to Massie, they locked eyes and everything else vanished for a minute. "Massie. What's Sophie talking about? I think it's time you explained."
Massie opened her mouth ready to explain when the press and Claire swarmed Derrick. The press kept making a huge deal about saving the little girl, they noticed it was Massie's daughter The Massie Block's daughter and the uproar got even larger.
Claire hung onto Derrick and kept kissing his cheek. "Aww Derry-Poo your sooo brave, but next time you save a girl make sure she's more that just a common street scum. I mean really look at her she's just the perfect image of Massie! Ha I'd be embarrassed to have a daughter who looks like that."
"You know what Claire?" Massie yelled speaking up from the crowd and walking toward her officially pissed. Claire raised an eyebrow seeming confident but Massie could see she was terrified. "You have been jealous of me since you moved to my guest house because - you were to poor to afford your own house - in the seventh grade. Also you were always jealous that Derrick loved me not you. Even now he doesn't like you the littlest bit, you can tell like how every time your near him he leans away. The only reason your a huge bitch to Sophie is because you hate me and don't want Derrick or anyone else for that matter to know why I left."
Claire shuddered away from Massie, she still scared her. "You know what you were jealous of me. Not the other way around May-see."
Massie snorted. "Yea Kuh-laire I was always jealous how you were sooo poor that you couldn't afford anything and how you used to love wearing Keds and overalls. You've found out my secret! Actually, I'm done with this 'game' Kuh-laire. How you keep trying to make me 'scared' that you'll blow the reason why I left. It gets old really fast." Massie looked to the reporters "So here's why I left Westchester Junior year. I was pregnant with Sophie. Which you guys obviously know, but the father is . . . . . . . . . . Derrick. Claire's soon to be husband"
Massie could've sworn everyone in that Soccer Stadium gasped. Alicia and Dylan came running down and started hugging Massie and hugging Sophie. The press started taking pictures a mile a minute. Derrick just stood there frozen in time. Claire's jaw tightened and her eyes narrowed, not her most attractive look.
"You bitch you just couldn't leave us alone. Massie your such a whore you probably forced Derrick. But hon, this is getting really pathetic, Derrick does not love you. He loves me why do you think I have the ring and you don't? I mean throwing yourself at him this morning on TV was desperate enough, but making up lies about Sophie and forcing the brat to say Daddy to Derrick. Ha! It would be hilarious if it wasn't my Derrick." Claire said trying to cover it up.
"Really Claire? This is what you stoop to? You do realize there are tests, plus look at her hair. And it's not Dempsey Soloman's (A/N: I forgot how to spell his last name sorry!!) hair. And puh-lease me and Dempsey Soloman were over by the end of eighth grade, plus I heard him and Layne got married and have a little boy." Massie said rolling her eyes. "Come on hon lets go up with Auntie Alicia and Auntie Dylan. Oh and Claire don't cuss in front of little children. Bad for your status, as if you have any. Also you might want to ask your soon to be husband who he really loves."
Sophie giggled and followed her Mommy up the stairs taking one at a time very slowly. Finally they reached their seats, Sophie of course went first, then Massie followed making sure she didn't lose her balance and hurt herself. When they were in their seats, Massie looked at her daughters face, and how her eyes twinkled as she watched Derrick save a goal. Massie sighed slightly, making sure Sophie couldn't hear her. It wasn't that she didn't want Sophie to have a father, it's just how it scared her. It scared her that Derrick knew, that he would reject them, and Massie didn't want Sophie to feel any of that pain.
There was fourteen seconds left in the game, the score was tied 6 to 6 and number 7 had just gotten the ball in a bad kick from Chris to Cam. He headed down the field, by now everyone was screaming Derrick's name since no one could seem to stop number 7. Derrick looked doubtful, for this one, out of the million kicks he had caught during the game he was nervous about this one. Alicia and Dylan shot up cheering Derrick's name, but he looked.... nervous?
"GO DERRICK! DON'T BLOW IT NOW!!!" Massie screamed. He looked up as if he could hear her out of the thousands of voices. She smiled and he smiled back. "COME ON DERRICK DON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF IN FRONT OF YOUR DAUGHTER!!"
He laughed and Massie was amazed that he could hear her. Derrick snapped his head back, to pay attention to the game number 7 had passed Kemp and was about to kick. All signs of being nervous were gone and his eyes were filled with determination. Number 7 raced forward, pulled his leg back, and kicked it forward. It spun in the top right hand corner, Derrick had seen it coming and jumped to save it. Massie gasped and looked away. She heard cheering and looked down at the field Derrick had caught the ball!!
Everyone cheered and Sophie started jumping up and down. Massie picked Sophie up and followed Alicia and Dylan down to the field to congratulate the team. Massie made sure to take the opposite way of Alex, he basically almost murdered Sophie, by not letting Massie save her. She put Sophie down on the field grass, and they walked hand and hand towards Derrick, who was completely ignoring Claire. When Derrick saw them his eyes brightened and he headed towards them.
"Thanks Block." Derrick muttered hugging her, with a fuming Claire behind him. "I couldn't have done it without your encouraging and Sophie."
He bent down and Sophie gave him a big hug. "Ugh. Daddi you smell bad!"
Derrick laughed, picked Sophie up, and twirled her around. Massie laughed, as Sophie's eyes twinkled with excitement. Derrick gently put Sophie down and walked towards Massie. He had her favorite crooked smile on and Massie's eyes narrowed.
"You wouldn't dare." Massie stated. Derrick raised his eyebrow in a wouldn't-I? kind of look. "Derrick Harrington I swear if you do I'm going to sue and kill you."
He darted towards Massie, she started to run, but he easily caught up to her. He lifted her up and twirled her around, ignoring all her protests to put her down. Derrick put her down, he held onto her until her dizziness subsided.
She tried to pulled her arm back, but Derrick had a strong hold. "Derrick thanks, but can I please have my right arm back? Seriously not funny anymore-"
Massie got cut off by Derrick's lips. Her eyes widened in shock. Did she enjoy it? Yea, but he was engaged, so technically this was cheating, but then again his lips were soooo soft. Stop it Massie Get Ahold of Youself! She debated in her head. Of course, Massie was first to pull away.
"Derrick, we really need to talk about all of this." Massie demanded. "Sophie, Claire, probably even Alex.... but Derrick your engaged so that never happened."
"Yea, we'll talk later right now I have to go talk to someone." Derrick muttered. Massie could've sworn she had seen a tear slide it's way down Derrick's cheek, but thought the better of it. Derrick Harrington never cried, then again that's exactly what they said about Massie Block.
"Massie. Hey let's head over to Slice of Heaven! I know that place is sooo middle school but I love their grease filled pizza. Plus I can burn the calories off!" Dylan screamed. Massie managed a smile and a nod, she grabbed Sophie and carried her to the limo.
---
"So I saw you and Derrick kiss." Dylan said barely hiding her smile. Alicia bit her lip hiding her smile, she and Dylan looked at each other and burst out laughing. "If it wasn't you Claire would've eaten you alive. She's the jealous type of person if case you didn't know."
Massie rolled her eyes. "Really I hadn't noticed. And the kiss was nothing we just got caught up in the moment nothing more than that. Besides I couldn't interfere with their relationship, it's obvious that the universe wants them together, I mean they always talked and flirted, I just didn't want to believe that he liked her. He's happy and I can't ruin it."
"Mass, where have you been? They only talked because Derrick was going to give you a promise ring! He wanted it to be perfect, where you guys were, what he was wearing, what he smelled like, and what the ring would look like. It drove us crazy but it was going to be worth it we told ourselves, but BAM! You just left, shattered his heart, but Claire... Claire saw this as an opening to get Derrick." Dylan explained.
"We soon found out that she was planning on taking over and stealing Derrick from you sooner or later. Of course it probably wouldn't have worked... but still. Anyways..... she wanted to be alpha, we were like whatever, cause all of us were depressed that you left, we didn't listen to her so she blackmailed us. I hated her soooo much when she blackmailed me and Josh, we almost didn't get married. In Claire's world we all loved her, still she wouldn't let us read or watch anything that had to do with you, when she would come over she would check the watched TV shows to see if we watched anything about you." Alicia informed me.
"Well sounds like I'm dealing with a wannabe. This could either be really good for me or really bad. Let's just see how this turns out. I really didn't want to get into any of this drama here but it looks like I'll have too. One question is Kristen with us or against us because she seems kind of on Claire's side."
"Oh she's definitely on Claire's side. One because she thinks Claire is a better Alpha that you were ever total lie and two because she wants Josh badly, and still thinks that she can get him. I'm like whatever, Josh keeps complaining about her, and now at work she's public enemy number one. The security guards won't let her in, we have a video tape of it, seriously I was on the floor crying by the end of it." Alicia stated trying to hold back laughter.
"I would love to see that sometime." Massie said as the limo pulled to a stop in front of Slice of Heaven. Aside from a new paint job the building didn't look that much different. They walked in receiving a lot of glares from girls and wistful stares from guys. The whole soccer team, Claire, and Kristen were at a table in the very back. Kristen waved at Alicia and Dylan, but when she saw me her smile turned into a scowl. I rolled my eyes at her and kept walking over.
"Mayssie. What are you doing her? I thought you left after our last meeting all together." Kristen asked in her nasally voice. "I mean really how pathetic is it that you still like Derrick? Is it just hilarious Joshy-poo?"
Josh looked disgusted by Kristen and Massie laughed. "And you would think that you would get surgery for that horribly nasally voice but you haven't. And Kristen don't get me started on pathetic with you. Hon get this through your head Josh doesn't like you never had and never will like you and you can spot your and Claire's nose jobs from outer space."
Kristen narrowed her eyes, got up, and accidentally spilled her strawberry shake on Massie. Massie, Alicia, and Dylan gasped, while Claire and Kristen let out cackles of laughter. "Oops sorry darling you know how hard it is to walk in these heels."
Massie just glared at her. "Yes those fake shoes do hurt the feet. Luckily I always carry a spare outfit with me just in case things like this, getting a drink dumped on me, happen. Alicia do you mind watching Sophie while I go take care of this mess?"
Alicia nodded and took Sophie's hand and led her over by Josh, where she seemed perfectly happy playing with Josh who was making silly faces at her. Massie hurried to the restroom and replaced her outfit with a Ralph Lauren Erilina Seamed Cotton Dress. She grimaced at her reflection. Yes she looked wonderful in the dress it showed off her curves, but she hated the attention, especially with Sophie there too. Of course she would be getting a lot of looks when she exited the restroom, Massie took a deep breath.
She took two steps before someone pulled her arm and tugged her back. In a poor attempt she tried to pull her arm, but whoever grabbed her other arm. Massie started to scream, when their hand cover her mouth, the person led her to a corner a bit aways from the restrooms but still unseen from anyone. By now Massie was going insane, What if I get raped? She screamed in her head over and over
He pushed her against the wall, turned her around, and took HIS hand off her mouth. It was Alex, she still wasn't sure whether or not he would rape her or not. "Mass. I wanted to talk to you when you weren't surrounded by those people and your... daughter."
He stepped towards her and she stepped two steps back before she ran into the wall again. She was trapped like a deer in headlights. In a weak attempt she pushed against him trying to get past him, but he blocked her and pushed her back against the wall. "Get the hell away from me."
"Wow Mass I'm hurt you usually never cuss." He taunted. Massie narrowed her eyes and tried to punch him like she did at the soccer field, but he grabbed her fist and twisted it behind her. She let a cry of pain out, but that only encouraged him, he twisted it more.
Massie found one opportunity to get out of this. Only one shot and this would hurt her arm more probably. She twisted her body a bit, so that the angle was right, lifted her leg, and kicked him hard, where the sun don't shine. He fell to the floor instantly and Massie darted to get away.
She looked back and he had gotten up, Massie started to run, she was dodging tables left and right, until.... she ran straight into Derrick. He gave her a questioning look but helped her up. Massie looked behind them, Alex had reached the bathrooms, she ducked her head, grabbed Derrick's arm, and headed for their table.
"Massie what's wrong? You look like you could pass out any second." Alicia asked when they had reached the table. Derrick still stood by her utterly confused, if he would move an inch to the left he would cover her view of Alex. Too late he had seen them and was coming over.
"Massie there you are. I was afraid something happened to you." Alex said cheerfully. Derrick gave Alex a glare even though he had no clue and Massie narrowed her eyes he acted like that never happened. Like he didn't try to rape her, oh if Derrick wasn't in the way she would've ripped his throat out.
"Alicia, could you cover Sophie's ears?" Massie asked politely. Alicia did what Massie asked, giving her a questioning look. Massie took a deep breath, stood up with Derrick sort of in between then, and looked Alex in the eye. "Get the hell out of here. First you try to kill Sophie, by not letting me go when she was walking toward the field, then you try to fucking rape me over there. Your lucky I don't put you in jail for the rest of your damn life. And I'll repeat myself for the fourth time in my life Get the hell out of here."
Derrick's eyes blazed with hate. Josh, Cam, Kemp, and Chris stood up, they roughly pulled Alex to the parking lot. When they came back in Kemp started laughing. "We didn't kill him but we should've. He was asking for it, then he started crying and begging us not to hurt him."
"Mass?" Alicia spoke up after a few minutes of silence. "Did he really try to hurt Sophie?"
Massie nodded. "He came to me before when Sophie was asleep, when I first met him and he asked me to leave with him to California. I told him it was a great idea, that Sophie would love the beach, but he told me that he didn't care for her and wanted to put her up for adoption. Then I simply told him to get out of my house. Today he startled me, he wouldn't let my arm go and I could've caught up to Sophie, but he wouldn't let me go. Saying that he wanted her dead that she was only getting in the way."
Massie bit her lip, and felt the tears coming. She ran straight for the bathroom, when she got in there, she splashed cold water on her face, and looked at her reflection. It was hard being a single parent, but yet she wouldn't give it up if she had a chance. Massie walked out of the bathroom and came face to face with Derrick.
"Massie. We need to talk." He stated simply
And there I leave off. Took me forever to write just kept going on and on. I felt like I did really bad writing this. OH! And next chapter I'll put rakel and romanceismyguiltypleasure on it, sorry but it took too long to get there in this chapter next chapter though. Pinky Swear! :-)
