She got into the shower and got all the sand off and just stood
there. She rinsed her hair and opened her eyes and saw Nick standing in the shower
with her.
Okay,
I want to know whats going on, Nick said.
Nothing,
Brizee said.
You
are hiding something from me, I know it, Briz, I have known you for a long time, I know you too well, you havent once lied
to me, why are you starting now, Nick said. Brizee started to cry.
Because
if I tell you, Ill lose you, Brizee said crying. Nick wrapped his arms around her.
Do
you think Im going to let you go when you are carrying my child, Briz, baby, I love you so much, please, tell me, be honest
with me, what is going on, Nick said. Brizee looked up at him. She got out of the shower and dried off and got dressed and
sat on the bed. Nick came out and got dressed. He knelt down in front of her. She looked at him.
Baby,
what is it, Nick said. The doorbell rang.
Better
get that, Brizee said softly. Nick kissed her softly and went downstairs.
Nick opened the door and saw Theresa standing there crying. Kevin
came running up.
Theresa,
dont! Kevin said.
Leave
me alone! Theresa said crying.
Whats
going on, Nick said. Theresa came in.
Nothing,
Theresa is upset, thats all, Kevin said.
Nick,
honey, could you come up here, Brizee called from upstairs. Nick ran upstairs. Kevin looked at Theresa.
T,
if you tell him, not only will you ruin my friendship with him, but you will ruin his and Brizees relationship, think about
the baby, T, the baby Briz is carrying, an innocent life, if you tell him, the baby will suffer, hell leave her and the baby
will grow up without him, Kevin said quietly.
He
has a right to know, Kevin, Theresa said.
Know
what, Nick said.
Nothing,
we were just leaving, Kevin said.
I
dont think so, Nick, for the past three days, since you left to see AJ, Kevin and Brizee have been sleeping together behind
our backs, Theresa said.
WHAT!
Nick yelled angrily.
They
just ended it today, thats why she lied to you, when she said she was meeting me, she was meeting him for their next lovemaking
session, Theresa said.
The
last one at that, Kevin said.
HOW
COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! Nick said.
I
fell for Brizee, okay, I couldnt control my feelings any longer, but please understand that she loves you and only you, it
wont happen again, Kevin said.
You
are nothing to me! Nick said. He went upstairs. He found Brizee curled up by
the window, looking out.
When
do you want me out, Brizee said softly.
You
arent leaving, Nick said.
I
hurt you, Nick, I slept with Kevin, Brizee said.
Brizee,
we are over, the engagement is off, Im moving my stuff to one of the guest rooms, Nick said.
No,
Ill move out, Brizee said getting up.
Brizee,
we have a baby to think about, Ill be there for you for the baby, but our relationship is over, Nick said. Brizee sat down and stared at her hands.
I
love you, Nick, Brizee said crying.
If you loved
me, you wouldnt have fucked Kevin behind my back, Nick said angrily. He got his stuff together. Brizee laid on the bed and
cried softly.
