Kelly sighed deeply when she looked down at the little stick that could change her and or worse even ruin her relationship with the man she loved most - it was almost ridiculous that this little piece of plastic had her whole future in it's hands- well if it had hands.
So what was positive again? The cross like "+" positive or more like the line because cross is like "no" - not pregnant. Kelly felt herself more nervous than she had ever been before, but she just realised that she was crying when she looked in the little mirror opposite her and saw her tearstained cheeks.
Deciding that all this insecurity went far and upset her enough, she looked for the package to check if the test was negative or really positive which meant there was a little baby growing inside her without her knowing it.
She spotted the package a few inches away and was just about to grab it, look at it and face whatever there was waiting for her, when she suddenly heard a loud knock on the door, startling her.
"BABY!" she heard Peter yelling loudly but still with the usual softness in his voice. Was it the first time he called her or had she just not noticed?
Kelly needed a moment to realise where exactly she was and what was going on : Pregnancy test. Her being still naked on the floor of her boyfriend's apartment. Peter. Outside the door, probably wondering why she locked herself in the bathroom.
When she heard another knock and a lot more worried "Kelly, honey everything alright?" she quickly jumped to her feet, grabbed the robe that lay carelessly in a corner, put it on and let the test and the box disappear into her make-up-suitcase - a place no man would ever look if he didn't have to.
"Honey... let me in" she heard when she wiped her cheeks in front of the mirror. Peter seemed almost panicked "Baby let me..." she heard him saying but managed to open the door quickly and force a smile before he worried any more or could finish his sentence.
"God Baby, you gave me a fright, I really thought something happened" Peter said relieved and pulled her tightly against his body, hugging her.
Kelly forgot for a second her problems and had to smile sincerely into his shoulder - he really was the most wonderful man in the world to her.
"No no everything's alright" she reassured him and felt him pulling back. He studied her eyes for a second before he reached up and caressed her cheek with his hand, a worried look on his face.
"Baby... did you cry?" Peter asked carefully and concerned when he saw her messy make-up.
Kelly was shocked for a second- how did he always do this? He always knew when something was up but she had to admit, she really didn't look her best right now- just like she felt.
Find an excuse Kel , come on, you cant tell him , hell you don't even know if there is something to tell, calm down calm down, Kelly told herself and forced another smile to her lips when she looked up to him once again "Noo I washed my face and forgot that my mascara isn't a waterproof. I'm fine , really" she said and pecked his lips.
"Are you hungry?" she quickly asked after, trying to change the subject.
Peter looked at her for another few moments- he didn't believe a word she said. He knew she had cried and he knew that something was bothering her but he decided to let her off the hook for now - maybe it was just a woman-issue he couldn't understand anyway.
However when he heard her asking that question he had to smirk - Kelly was never a good liar "Hungry? Baby maybe it's just me but didn't we have lunch before we disappeared in the apartment?" he asked her, trying to lighten the mood a little bit.
Kelly giggled slightly, blushing "umm well... we didn't have our dessert... because someone wanted to go back to the apartment to do something else" she replied, smirking. Peter Gallagher was a miracle to her, a few seconds with him could make the worst day seem alright and make her forget everything upsetting for a few moments- exactly what she needed.
"Dessert huh?" Peter said playfully mocking her.
"Mhmhm" Kelly agreed and slowly started closing the gap between their lips.
"We ... only...have...a...few...days...off...so...we...better...don't...waste...our...time...here...in New York" she said between kisses before they broke apart.
"Well... then we better get dressed, beautiful" Peter said smiling mischievously and played with the knot of her robe before Kelly slapped his hand away "Good idea mister, now go on, hurry up".
---
After Kelly managed to push Peter away from her and both got ready and dressed, they made their way to some quieter streets of New York if you could call anything that has to do with "street" quiet in that city.
Kelly enjoyed her time with Peter alone, but she couldn't help but think back at the pregnancy test. She was never an impatient person but this was different. This could not only change her life forever and she hated lying to Peter this morning. She loved him more than anything and the last thing she wanted were secrets between them but she just couldn't tell him because she didn't even know herself if she was pregnant or not- but what was if she was pregnant? Would Peter even want this? Would he think it was too soon. What was if he didn't want any more kids? "What is if he doesn't want kids with me? No time for thinking about that now, Kel. Maybe I'm just overreacting", she told herself for the millionth time when Peter suggested to have coffee and a little 'dessert' in a sweet little café in front of them.
"Sure" Kelly heard herself saying but she couldn't really say that she knew what was going on around her since she left the bathroom. The only thing she really felt was Peter's arm around her and his hand on her waist - she always loved the warmth and comfort he promised. Maybe this was a good sign.
It was only a few moments later when Peter and Kelly sat opposite each other in that little "quiet" café, holding hands over the table.
Peter looked at her lovingly and she could read in his eyes that he was still a little worried- of course he was, after all he was still Peter Gallagher.
He started to say "Baby are you sure you are..." when a waiter interrupted them with a friendly "Good afternoon. How can I help you".
Kelly was more than thankful for the interruption, because she hated finding excuses, especially if it was Peter she was lying to.
"I.. I'd like a cup of coffee" Kelly said but then it hit her - wait, what if I am pregnant, she thought to herself, isn't coffee bad for the blood pressure or something? Could it harm my...our baby if there is a baby? Kelly was confused.
Deciding that it could be too dangerous she changed her mind "No um I'm sorry Sir, I'll just have water please".
The waiter nodded and she tried to ignore Peter's confused and now definitely worried look.
"For me a Macchiato, thanks" Peter answered the waiter quickly, hoping he'd leave so he could question Kelly.
The waiter however, had another plan, much to Kel's relief.
"Okay, Macchiato and water - miss do you want it cold with ice?" he asked Kelly and she nodded "That would be great". Macchiato
LEAVE, Peter screamed in his head but the waiter continued "Okay so water with ice and a, anything else?".
Peter was about to say NO so he'd leave when Kelly spoke up abruptly "YEAH. Um… do you have desserts, too?" she asked the waiter friendly and he answered, just as politely "Of course, do you want our menu?".
Again, Peter was about to scream NO THANKS when Kelly nodded rapidly "Yes please".
The waiter disappeared for a moment and Kelly looked around nervously before she eventually caught Peter's worried-looking eyes.
Peter used the moment of silence to ask her finally what was going on "Honey" he said squeezing the hand that was still tight in his over the table.
"Kelly what was all that about? You and no coffee, who are you kidding?" Peter asked softly and lightly, hoping it'd relax her.
"I.. just umm.. it's so cold uh warm so I thought ..I'm just not in the mood for coffee- is that so unbelievable?" Kelly answered nervously.
"Let me think about it...yeah it is unbelievable" Peter once again was the first to joke about it and even Kelly smiled, rolling her eyes.
"No honey seriously..." Peter started a lot more seriously but was interrupted by his new best friend: The waiter alias The Penguin himself.
"Here" the waiter smiled politely and gave the menu to Kelly which she accepted thankfully.
The moment the waiter left Peter had tried to catch Kelly's eyes but she dodged him every time, pretending to be veeery interested in the menu and the great desserts.
What am I doing here? Kelly asked herself frustrated when she looked over the different desserts and fruits.
I cant lie any longer. He knows something is up. I cant tell him either. I don't know what this will do to him and to us.
Mhh… Strawberry not bad. Bad- exactly how everything's going to turn out.
What if I tell him, but it turns out to be just a damn cold or something- drama for nothing. But what if don't tell him and it is a something- not only a something- a little human being. OUR baby.
Banana- I don't know. Know - He definitely wants to know what's bothering me and he has the right to know, hasn't he? He is the father if there is something inside me that has a father - like his baby.
Kelly looked slightly over the menu to see what Peter was doing. When she saw that he looked down at the table, a worried and pretty much hurt look on his face, her heart broke in thousand little pieces. What was she doing to him? She couldn't just shut him out whenever she wanted. Even if there wasn't a baby, she should still tell him that she was worried, because she wasn't feeling well the last few weeks.
On the other hand... what was if he was one of those men that freak out terribly if there was even the slightest chance of having to be responsible for anything more than a car. No - that wasn't Peter. He had already two kids with his wife - the wife- Paula- maybe that was the reason he left her - he wanted to be young again without responsibilities and well kids. Who are you kidding Kelly? He loved his family - almost too much to be with you.
Hm there was always another choice - peaches: juicy but sometimes a little sour. God, what is if he starts screaming at me for being a stupid, gold digging whore, that wants to have a baby with him so he pays for everything she needs and wants- it wouldn't be the first time someone she cared about called her that way. David. Yeah right Peter was so not like David.
Apples- Kelly always loved apples but the apple is the fruit of sin- what was if Peter thought she did all this on purpose? That she seduced him to have a rich man that pays for everything- but why would he think that? She could've become Mrs. David Thompson and it wasn't like she was poor either.
Cherries- always a good choice. Those two little sweet balls connected by a thin little string- almost like Peter and Kelly - they fitted together perfectly and they were so in love. But they hadn't much in common - not much that held them together. One little accident, one little cut and the little string that held them together could be destroyed.
She was afraid that this little baby could be their
BANG
Kelly was startled out of her thoughts. Her head shot up and she looked at Peter worriedly who looked at one of the waiters. Kelly followed his gaze and saw that a young waiter was busy with picking up broken dishes- so that was the startling noise.
Peter got a fright when he heard a loud noise - a waiter had dropped a few plates. However when he saw that Kelly looked up from the damn menu, he was glad that he had an opportunity to talk to her after those long moments of silence between them while she looked at nothing but the damn desserts.
"Have you made a choice?" Peter started the conversation, shocking Kelly slightly. She looked into his eyes, once again feeling guilty for upsetting him.
Oh how she wished she could tell him what was frightening her so much and how much she needed and loved him.
"Oh no.. I … just looked at some fruits but I haven't made a decision" she answered and smiled at him for a few moments.
She was glad when she got a small smile in return- she could be the world's biggest bitch and he was still there. This had to be a good sign.
"Well what about apples- you love them, don't lie" Peter joked and Kelly giggled back before she thought again about the thing before.
"NO" she answered abruptly, before thinking about it.
"I mean...no... Sorry not in the mood for apples right now, honey" she corrected herself, but pulled her hand out of his grasp.
Peter looked disappointed for a moment, before she caressed the back of his hand with her fingertips and smiled at him warmly again.
"Well baby how about...cherries then..." Peter asked but couldn't even finish his sentence before Kelly shook her head rapidly.
"Why not?" Peter asked a little confused- he had countless times dinner, lunch, breakfast and desserts with her before that he thought he knew what she liked and what not.
"I don't know...I just...I think I don't like that they are just connected through a simple thin string" Kelly replied and could've slapped herself for her daft answer- "and the Oscar for the biggest idiot in TV goes to KELLY ROWAN".
Peter had to chuckle because he thought she was joking- when he noticed she wasn't he asked "Baby, that is your reason?"
Kelly blushed feeling absolutely stupid now. "I guess..." was her answer before her eyes met his again.
Peter lifted his eye brows before he said disbelieving "BABY YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO EAT THIS STRINGY-THINGY". He chuckled and Kelly rolled her eyes, smiling too.
"I know...it's just that if two things are just connected through something like this thin...thing, there is always the danger that something could break them apart and that would be horrible for the two of them because they were almost used to each other and like being together and..." Kelly said - she started slowly, talking about why she didn't like the cherries but she quickly sounded desperate and upset.
Peter looked at her seriously. "Baby are we still talking about cherries?" he asked grabbing her hand that drew nervous circles over his skin while she talked.
"Of course" Kelly answered and the moment she read in Peter's eyes how disappointed he was that she lied again, she knew she needed to talk to him or she would lose him over something that was maybe nothing.
She loved him. She trusted him. She knew that he was nothing like David. She knew that he knew that she wasn't with him for money but because she truly loved him.
But most importantly, she knew nothing could happen that would make her think different about him and there wasn't a thing in the world that could make her not want to spend the rest of her life with the man that was currently sitting opposite her on the table, stroking her hand lovingly after she ignored his concerned looks and questions all day long.
"Honey I think we need..." she started, but the Penguin interrupted her "Sir, your macchiato" he said, putting Peter's coffee in front of him before turning to Kelly "Miss, your water" and did the same to Kel.
Peter sighed when they were interrupted once again- it was Kelly's first attempt to open up to him and they were interrupted.
Kelly saw his disappointed expression and looked down while she watched his spoon circling the cup of coffee over and over again. Peter didn't look at her neither was she looking at him.
-
"I love you and I'm worried about you".
Kelly was shocked to hear those sudden, but of course lovely words, when they sat on the sofa of Peter's apartment in the evening, watching an old movie.
"I umm… what?" she asked, playing confused and dumb.
Peter sighed and took her hand in his, stroking it with his fingertips while running his other through her hair.
"I love you" he repeated and kissed her softly on the lips, "but I'm worried about you" he repeated and looked into her deep, blue eyes.
Kelly thought about denying it for a moment, but she decided it had gone long enough. She needed to tell him. Not only for his sake but for her's as well. She knew Peter would be shocked and who knows what this could do to their relationship but she knew that Peter would be there for her and that was what she needed.
She couldn't and didn't want to find out herself.
"Peter...there is something important I need to tell you" Kelly whispered and hugged him to her body. Peter was more than shocked that Kelly really started to open up to him, but he couldn't deny how nervous he became when she emphasised the "important".
"Okay. You know you can tell me anything, baby" Peter whispered back, just as quietly, before he pulled back to make her look into his eyes.
Kelly smiled at him, but looked down while she repeated the whole story in her head. The second she thought about the possibility of being pregnant she had thought about the moment this could've happened- Peter was always a protection-freak and she couldn't think about an occasion he could've gotten her pregnant.
She couldn't think about one until right then, when she was about to tell him that his girlfriend was probably pregnant with his child. Right that moment she remembered the night she had sex without protection.
The kiss they were experiencing seemed so different from any they had ever shared before. He tasted different. As did she. Maybe because it was real.
He was great
There was no doubt, he was the best and most considerate lover she had ever had.
"David, are...you drunk?"
"You are hurting me"
She knew then that it wouldn't make sense to try to get away or tell him to
stop anymore. So she just tried to relax to make it not any worse than it
already was.
The first time with Peter. The night with her drunken ex-fiancé.
Kelly never even thought about that possibility. Maybe she just didn't want to be reminded of sex she ever had with David and especially not that night.
It was Peter that she loved. He was the only man she wanted to have sex with for the rest of her life. David was the past, but maybe the past had caught up with her, without her having noticed.
Kelly could scream and cry in once. She was so stupid. How could she not think about it? The situation was complicated enough but what was if David was the father of her baby? Peter would leave her and she would be standing alone with a kid- her worst nightmare.
She couldn't hide the hot tear that prickled down her cheek. It was bad enough as it was. A baby means a huge change and even if it was Peter's, Kelly didn't know what he'd think or if they could even make it together - they still got to know each other and enjoyed their new-found love and their fresh relationship. Kelly couldn't tell him but she couldn't lie to him either.
"Baby" Peter said softly when he saw the tear rolling down her cheek before he wiped it away.
Kelly stopped her thoughts about Peter, about David, about her and her baby that might not even be a baby.
But most importantly she decided to stop thinking about the consequences - sooner or later everything would work out one way or the other. The only thing she hoped was that Peter loved her as much as he told her.
"Kelly, you know you can tell me everything" Peter brought out - he was incredibly nervous himself to even speak properly.
Kelly looked up in his gorgeous, breathtaking, comforting eyes and another few tears escaped her eyes. She couldn't lose this man over something as stupid as her not thinking about protection - over something stupid as a few minutes with the man she now not even liked anymore. A few minutes that could ruin them forever.
"Peter" she whispered but kissed him softly before she continued.
"I love you" she said and she didn't say it to win some time or because she was too nervous to say anything else. She said it because it was the first thing she thought every time she looked in those gorgeous eyes that belonged to the man she loved most.
"I love you" she repeated and looked down for a few moments to compose herself.
"I love you, too, Baby, and nothing is ever going to change that. Nothing" Peter said, still unable to keep the sadness out of his voice- he knew something bad was about to happen. Did she cheat on him? No, she left her fiancé for him- he knew she loved him. Did she think they have too little in common or was there another reason and she wanted to break up with him- in love or not? Peter was simply scared.
"I know. I know" Kelly said. She knew Peter loved her, but she also knew he didn't know what she was about to say.
Peter lifted her chin with a finger and made her look into his eyes once again. Before she could say anything he kissed her. A tender kiss. He kept his lips closed until he felt her own lips moving. When the kiss deepened and there was nothing but love and desire between them, they forgot the tears, the conversation and their fear for a few moments and just enjoyed each other the way they always did.
He caressed her back like he always did and Kelly brushed her hands through his long full hair, enjoying how it felt between her fingers. It was just the way it always was between them.
Unfortunately ended the kiss too soon and they broke apart to look into each other's eyes.
"Baby, whatever it is, can't it wait until tomorrow?" Peter asked. He was the one that was most afraid of the conversation now. He just wanted to enjoy the evening with her.
"I thought you wanted me to..." Kelly started but Peter had covered her lips already in his. She knew what he was telling her. Why not? Maybe it wasn't as dramatic as Kelly thought and it wouldn't be their last night, but in case it was, she didn't want a desperate quickie after shopping to be their last session of love-making.
Kelly slowly reciprocated to the kiss and let herself being pulled tightly into his arms. Sooner or later, well more sooner than later both were stripped to their underwear and they lay in Peter's bed. He kissed all up her shoulder and neck, before he reached her lips again, making Kelly sigh. What was if this was the last time he'd ever touch her the way he was doing now? Kelly pushed those thoughts out of her mind, while Peter stripped them both of their remaining garments and positioned himself between her parted legs.
"I love you" Peter breathed out before he closed his eyes and entered her slowly. When he was sure she adjusted to the feeling of him inside of her, he started to move gracefully in and out of her, creating a most pleasurable feeling inside the both of them.
It took only a few more deep thrusts and Peter felt her tightening around him, screaming his name before he took his own high and collapsed on top of her own exhausted body.
Peter sighed happily and satisfied when he felt her stroking the hair of the back of his neck. God, I love this woman.
"I love you, too" Kelly said and giggled. Peter's head shot up, out of her neck to see her mischievous eyes and to make sure she saw his raised eye brows.
"How did you know?" Peter asked smiling, while he watched his hand, stroking her cheek.
Kelly giggled again "know what".
"That I..." Peter started and wanted to tell her that it was crazy that she knew what he was thinking.
"Love me? Well I just knew" Kelly answered and grinned, kissing him again. Their banter was so playful and everything seemed so carefree that both almost forgot about their important -talk-.
Peter bent down to leave another few kisses on her lips, when Kelly thought about it for the first time in at least 1 and a half hours.
She had to tell him. She couldn't think or cry a problem away and everyone knows that denial isn't helping either - not for long at least.
They could face the test together and if they couldn't they weren't as half as strong as Kelly thought they were anyway.
Peter placed a last kiss on her sweet small lips before he made an attempt to roll off of his lover.
"No stay, baby, we need to talk anyway" Kelly whispered softly, stroking his back so he knew she was really comfy in her current position.
Peter nodded and let her pull his head back into her neck and hair, kissing her skin a few times before she started with what she had to say all day long.
"Peter, Honey... I don't know if… there is even something to tell. I...know it's stupid but...I don't know it myself it is just possible that I am..." Kelly started but stopped to take a deep breath. "You remember when you found me in the bathroom today, don't you" she asked rhetorical and felt him nodding against her shoulder.
"Well I...I...was there…because… I ... remember when i found a lame excuse to arrive a little bit later at yours after we went shopping?" she asked again to win time.
"Yeah baby" Peter replied, still afraid of what she was about to say. "Well i went to the pharmacy" Kelly brought out nervously.
"Are you sick?" Peter asked quietly, thinking she might be seriously sick and that was why she was in the bathroom and didn't want coffee and was all jumpy.
"I...I bought a pregnancy test and I... the bathroom and..." Kelly said now crying when Peter slowly lifted his head to be able to look in her eyes.
"Are you...pregnant?" Peter whispered, completely shocked- this wasn't something he thought about.
Kelly closed her eyes, taking a deep and long breath before she opened her eyes again to look at him sincerely "I don't know" she answered and wiped her cheek dry.
"What does that mean you don't know? I mean you took the test, not me Kelly" Peter answered a little too firmly - he really thought Kelly must be kidding.
"I took the test but I couldn't look at it, because you interrupted. Peter, I'm sorry I didn't tell you- I just- I got scared. Cant you understand that?" Kelly explained, looking deeply hurt- she didn't expect him to be so cold.
"Kelly I do understand but why didn't you tell me this morning, we ...we could've looked at it together" Peter replied, studying here face.
"I don't know, Peter. I was just so scared. I never wanted this. I'm terrible with babies and we...our relationship is so new and I love you so much and I ...I don't want to lose you Peter- I don't want to lose you" Kelly said, crying even more.
"Kelly, baby" Peter shushed her and kissed her tears away. "Baby stop crying. Hey… hey. You don't even know if you are pregnant okay? And even if you are, nobody is perfect with babies from the very first second- you have to learn it, but baby why was that so terrible to tell me? I mean you are right it is definitely soon, maybe too soon, but a baby should never be something to cry for. It's a little person that we made" he said, trying to sooth her (and probably himself).
Kelly believed every word he said and was more than grateful for his comfort until he said those last few words
a little person we made
we made
we
What was if she made it with David? If it was his. She forgot about that.
"Peter..." Kelly started and looked directly into his eyes "I'm sorry". Peter smiled at her, having no idea that she apologized for the thing she was about to say not for the thing he already knew and practically made peace with it.
"It might be not yours" she finished her sentence simply, being ashamed of the fact that she became on of those women that didn't know who was the father of her baby- she felt like a slut.
Peter needed a few seconds to take in the words she said, what that meant for them and to swallow his shock before he could muster enough strength to jump off her and out of bed and put his pants back on.
"Honey...Peter" Kelly shouted desperately before pushing the bed sheets aside and swinging her legs to one side so she was sitting next to him on the bed.
"WHAT KELLY? WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO SAY?" He shouted back, clearly hurt.
"Talk to me instead of running away" she replied just as hurt. She knew he'd be upset, but angry? It wasn't like she slept with David because she wanted to or because she wanted to get pregnant.
"You cheated on me and even if you might think that isn't wrong because i did it myself- it is the worst thing you could've done to me- nothing more left to say" Peter said, his voice not a scream anymore but filled with hurt and disappointment.
Kelly's jaw dropped when she heard what he said and her eyes filled with tears. That was what he thought of her? She'd cheat on him? HE was the reason she didn't know who was her baby's father, because she cheated on her fiancé with HIM that night.
"You are a damn asshole" Kelly shouted back at him, angrier than ever that he even thought about the possibility of her cheating on him.
"And what are you? A slut- I thought you loved me"
"I DO- I did!"
"AND THAT'S WHY YOU COULDN'T KEEP YOUR PANTIES ON?"
It was then when he felt it. A throbbing warm hand on his cheek- she had slapped him.
"What do you think of me Peter" Kelly whispered, another few hot tears prickling down her cheeks.
Peter turned around to look into her eyes. He could read them like he always could and he knew that very moment that he deserved that slap. He knew why she wasn't sure if he was the father. David.
"Kelly..." he started and wanted to apologize for even thinking about her cheating on him when he saw her shaking his head, telling him to let her finish her story.
"I don't know if this baby, if there even is a baby, is yours because of David, Peter. My ex-FIANCE and I'd like to think you are allowed to have sex with your fiancé. Of course I didn't cheat on you. WE both cheated on HIM, Peter" Kelly started but stopped to wipe a few of the fresh tears away from her cheeks.
"I don't know if it is yours because ...you know... the David-thing wasn't over when we started seeing each other".
"But baby... you still should be able to tell if or/ and when you had sex without protection" Peter said, thinking loudly. Something couldn't be right.
"Yes. I do remember that night" Kelly admitted hesitantly.
"So… who did you sleep with Kelly, you can tell me" Peter told her, being more than afraid what her answer would be. What would he do if it was David's child?
"Peter I..."
"Just say it already Kelly. I'll have to deal with it anyway"
"Peter, I slept with you both that night".
Once again Peter was shocked. She kept sleeping with him after they had their first time?
"What?? I thought that... after we both..." Peter rambled obviously confused and disappointed.
"Honey" she interrupted his rambling, while looking down at her hand that she had placed next to her on the bed.
"It was the night, we made love for the first time" Kelly told him, hoping he would understand.
"Okay so you wanna tell me you slept with David before I came over helping you with the baby?" Peter asked her, hoping she'd say yes. She didn't.
"No. I slept with him after I slept with you" Kelly whispered, being ashamed even if she didn't sleep with David because she wanted to.
"What??? Kelly ... I... I can't believe this. Wasn't I enough for you? I...I thought… I never slept with Paula after you, because I thought we love each other" Peter asked her, being hurt and grabbed his shirt from the chair.
"Peter… I didn't want to sleep with him" Kelly said quickly before she even thought about it.
Peter laughed sarcastically "Oh no so your fiancé forced you huh"
Silence.
"HE FORCED YOU? This...this...I ...I should've known-- after this… night that I spent almost in a closet watching him have his way with you. I just cant believe it" Peter said and walked over to her before he pulled her bare body against him. "Baby why haven't you said anything. You could've...gone to the police or at least break up with him" he said kissing the top of her hair.
"I know, but I... Peter everything was complicated and now everything is even more complicated" Kelly said and shook her head. How did she get in this situation?
"Peter… what...do you think we should do ? I mean what are you thinking?" Kelly asked, afraid of his answer.
Peter looked down and tried to think about it for a moment. How he wished he could just be there for her, offer her his comfort and tell her everything would be alright and that he loved her, but he found himself being torn. He couldn't just tell her that everything would be alright if he didn't even know if that could ever happen.
"Kelly I think I need some time to think" Peter told her, hoping she'd know that he didn't do this to torture her, but to help her- and to be honest.
"Peter..." Kelly tried to stop him, thinking it wouldn't be good for him to be left alone with his terrible thoughts- she knew what that meant and how it'd make him feel.
"Kelly, I need some time to myself. It is a life-changing thing we are talking about" Peter replied sadly and grabbed his jacket.
"Baby, Peter please just talk to me" Kelly pleaded and it broke his heart when he turned around to leave.
"Peter please!" Kelly tried it again, scared to death that she could lose him.
"I'll be back in the morning- I promise"
"Do you want to break up with me?"
"I'll see you soon". And with that he left.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease leave a review (in case that sounded desperate- it's true :P)
xxx Thankies.
