Tawni groaned happily as the sun dipped into her bedroom window. She rolled over on her king size bed peacefully but furrowed her brows when she felt an object next to her. Her blue eyes quickly popped open when she saw who was lying next to her. James Conroy, of all people. She lifted her satin sheets from her body and screamed when she realized she was naked. Tawni quickly gripped the sheets over her body when James woke abruptly.
"What happened?" he yelled alarmed still half asleep.
"Apparently this!" She pointed thrusting toward their clothes sprinkled across her bedroom.
"Oh", James smiled wiping sleep from his eyes. "You don't remember?" he joked.
"No. Tawni screamed alarmed.
James folded his hands behind his head cockily. "Well, you screamed all night long".
"Oh my god", Tawni groaned slapping her forehead. She cheated on Travis, with James? She wanted to feel disgusted with herself but she didn't, not even a small part of her did.
He leaned over and gently pecked her lips, and rose in his boxer shorts revealing his toned stomach.
"I'm going to take a shower, be right back", he called over his shoulder with a wink before disappearing in the bathroom.
Tawni watched curiously from where she sat in bed clinging to the sheets. This had to be the weirdest morning ever.
Sonny watched Chad skeptically the next morning when he entered holding a pint of ice cream with a grin. He walked up to her and pecked her cheek before walking deeper inside the home. She crossed her arms and followed behind him.
"So it took you 24 to go get ice cream?" she demanded.
Chad turned from throwing his jacket across the room. "I fell asleep at my parents".
"How convenient", Sonny snapped.
He turned around confused then smiled knowingly, she'd never been the jealous type. Chad laughed shaking his head.
"Where is this coming from?"
"Are you cheating on me?" she demanded emotionally and began beating on his chest as her face reddened.
"What?" Chad asked grabbing her wrist to force her to stop plunging at him.
"Admit it", she sniffed. "You're cheating on me because I'm fat, and defenseless", Sonny accused hoarsely. Her hormones were at an all time high, Chad noticed when he pulled her into the living room and on to his lap.
"Where is all this coming from?" he asked stroking her hair. "I would never cheat on you. I love you, don't you trust me?"
Sonny hiccupped shaking her head. "I'm sorry, its just that you didn't come home last night and Portlyn came over and we got to talking and-
"Whoa", Chad quickly interrupted as his heart rate increased and sweat trickled at the back of his neck.
"Did you just say Portlyn? What the hell was she doing here?"
"Well first of all she's pregnant", Sonny nodded obliviously.
"Oh my god", Chad exhaled gripping her hips. "I've been meaning to tell you-
"Tell me what?" Sonny asked craning her neck curiously. Chad read her face one more time, before confirming he had got away by a landslide.
"Yeah", a snarky voice appeared entering the living room confidently. Chad turned and almost fainted when he saw Portlyn staring back at him tauntingly.
"Nothing", he quickly answered burying his head in her shoulder. "What is she doing here?" he whispered to Sonny.
Portlyn strutted over to the furniture opposite of the two and crossed her legs over each other. She rolled her eyes noticing Sonny was on Chad's lap.
"I came to visit, a new friend", she grinned when Sonny turned excitedly to agree with her.
"And she was telling me about this
horrible father of her child cheating on her, and not owning up to
his responsibilities", Sonny shook her head disappointedly.
"He's the biggest tool in the world, I can't believe I ever
loved him", Portlyn confirmed flipping her newly done hair off her
oval shaped face and kept her eyes fixated on Chad. He clenched his
jaws in disbelief.
"Can you believe that asshole?" Sonny asked interrupting the two sending each other dirty looks.
Chad shook his head and cleared his throat and rose letting her sit on the couch while he stood.
"Why are you hanging out with her? You two aren't friends", he accused shaking his head. He couldn't fathom that Portlyn actually had the guts to actually come to his house and become friends with his wife. She was playing the sickest games ever, knowing Portlyn she would wait to her and Sonny were good friends to throw the lie in her face.
Sonny shrugged offended. "We are now. I mean it can't be easy being a single mom in this industry", she defended her new found friend.
"Yeah", Portlyn nodded and tried to stifle her laughter.
"Can I talk to you in private?" Chad asked grabbing Sonny and took her into the next room.
"I don't want you hanging around that girl Sonny. She's bad news and after everything that happened with that stalker I'd think you'd want to be alone more", Chad crossed his arms.
Sonny arched her thin brow and crossed her arms on top of her round stomach.
"Why do you have such a huge problem with Portlyn?"
Chad cleared his throat and shrugged. "You know what? I don't care I'm going to hop in the shower".
"Good, we have a parenting class. And Portlyn's coming", Sonny quickly informed at the last minute and strolled into the kitchen to polish off the ice cream.
Chad groaned loudly so Portlyn could hear before slamming the door to their bedroom closed.
"Guess he was surprised", Portlyn joked.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
The only more awkward then the morning after a one night stand was seeing it walk toward you and your pregnant wife, Chad observed once Portlyn had emerged with a huge grin from her car. She transformed from her sky high heels, and slinky shirt dress for a tank top and yoga pants like Sonny.
"Hey guys", she grinned casually hugging Sonny and diverted her attention to Chad who shook his head crossly outside the baby planning exercise classes.
"I have to sign us in, be right back", Sonny smiled when Chad leaned over to kiss her. He lengthened the kiss just to bother Portlyn, until Sonny broke free with another smile before sauntering inside.
"Was that supposed to make me jealous?" she smirked stepping closer to him tauntingly.
"I don't know, did it?"
"Nope", she brightly answered and lowered her sunglasses on the brim of her nose.
Chad shook his head. "You are seriously twisted. You actually had the nerve to come to house, and talk to my wife? Portlyn, seriously leave me alone. And, you really need to find out about the father of your child and stay away from Sonny".
Portlyn lifted her dainty shoulders. "Sonny's sweet, too sweet for you. When are you going to wake up and realize you and me are one of a kind?"
"We're-
"Ready", Sonny brightly answered and pulled the two inside the soapy bright colored room where pregnant women were nestled in between their partner's legs.
Chad smiled wrapping his arms around Sonny's neck once they were seated on the yoga mats opposite of each other. He attempted
"Alright class, we are back for our monthly session Baby Boom", the instructor grinned in her soft spoken voice and eyed Portlyn.
"We have a new guest, Portlyn. Please give her a warm welcome".
The whole room applauded her except for Chad. He was the only one that saw her for who she truly was. Knowing Portlyn she had already devised a plan to become friends with Sonny, and just when they were getting close tell her that Chad was the father. She was sick, that way, Chad thought shaking his head at Portlyn before focusing back on Sonny.
"She is a single mother, so we'll be helping her out every chance we can".
Portlyn waved her hand and pretended to be humble. Chad rolled his eyes.
"Thank you all", she beamed.
"To begin the exercise", the woman began we will all be sitting Indian style the woman with her back turned to her partner.
Everyone did what they were instructed.
"We would like the women to be as comfortable as possible. Partners how about you stroke your moms to be".
Chad grinned stroking Sonny's arms where she sat nestled inside his open legs with her back pressed against his body. Portlyn rolled her eyes one or two mats down from them.
"Inhale".
"Exhale".
"This is great", Sonny whispered to Chad, as he rested his hands on her stomach rubbing in circles as he was instructed.
"Good job, Chad", the woman smiled tapping his shoulder as she checked on the other couples progress before going back to the middle of the room.
"Thanks", he grinned and smiled when he felt her stomach kick.
"He kicked", Chad yelled excitedly alerting everyone in the room who clapped.
"She", Sonny corrected giggling.
Portlyn turned, and for the first time felt herself get emotional because she knew she would never have that moment with him.
"Alright class, lets focus now", the instructor added warmly. "Up next I'll show you the 'KIC' she stated pulling Portlyn up to her feet as she reluctantly followed her.
"New comer Portlyn will demonstrate. We'll have to use one of the men ladies, sorry", she joked as the women giggled.
"Um", the instructor observed the room for her best male student and let her eyes settle on Chad.
"Chad", she stated brightly.
Portlyn smirked, what were the odds? She thought.
"No", Chad shook his head attempting to hide behind Sonny.
The class chanted and clapped for him to go up and volunteer.
"Please?" Sonny asked nudging him with a grin. "Go", she instructed as he reluctantly rose the men applauded him.
Chad sighed standing in front of Portlyn.
"KIC stands for keeping it comfortable", the woman confirmed. "This trick will be vital during your trimester when you're really in pain".
The women nodded as if she were a saint, taking mental notes.
"Sit", she instructed Chad and once she did, she told Portlyn to lie on her side on the carpeted floors.
"Inhale", she told them with her eyes closed. "Feel the vibe".
Portlyn rested her elbows on Chad's folded knees as she was instructed as he disinterestedly chopped her shoulder blades and sighed shaking his head to make a point when Sonny clapped.
Portlyn was soaking up all the attention from Chad.
"You can do this in bed, on the couch, or even on a park bench", the instructor stated. "Thank you".
Chad quickly unloosened from Portlyn and went back to Sonny relieved it was all over.
After a few more exercises the session was over.
"God", Sonny admitted holding her stomach. " I'm starving".
Chad pecked her lips. " We'll go out for lunch", he confirmed but was interrupted midway when Portlyn entered from the baby gym.
"I'm sorry", she apologized. " My mascara fell into the men's side on my way out the bathroom", Portlyn crinkled her brows to Chad.
Sonny waved her hand. "It happens to me all the time".
"Will you Chad?"
"No", he started to say but decided against it, he didn't want any grief from Sonny.
"Fine", he sighed following her
inside.
Once they were out of ear shot she gripped his polo.
"Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that".
"I didn't".
Portlyn rolled her eyes amused and pulled his hand to her stomach.
"Do you feel your baby?" she asked wide eyed.
Chad snatched his hand back. "Don't play with me Portlyn".
Portlyn still grinned. "Oh my goodness I have to tell your mother Kendra", she continued. "She'll be so excited I've always been her favorite".
Chad became angry all of a sudden, taking her by surprise.
"Stay away from my mother".
She tapped her index finger against her chin. " Or better yet, I could tell Sonny right now".
"She wouldn't believe you".
"Okay", she shrugged her shoulders sarcastically.
"I can wait a few more weeks until she really trusts me. Thanks for the idea Chad", she grinned as they walked toward the exit. "I'll be in touch baby daddy", she whispered lowly and turned to squeeze Sonny tightly and strutted toward her BMW before jaggedly pulling off.
He had to tell her about the lie Portlyn was making up, but now didn't seem right.
"I really like her", Sonny stated. "Sure she seems a little aggressive but she's nice". Chad kissed her cheek and looked away thinking. If you only knew.
