"I'm sorry Seven, but it's too late. Even if I wanted to be with you again, I can't"
"Why not?"
"There is something you need to know"
"What is that Luna?" He asks eagerly.
"I'm pregnant" I announce as I start taking of my clothes, caring less about his presence. It's not like he hasn't seen me naked before. I need to be ready before Asher comes to pick me up.
"What?" He roars.
"You heard me" I say rolling my eyes as I walk into my bathroom.
"Is it mine?" He asks, following me into the bathroom and I don't try to stop him.
"Ew! No!"
"Goddammit Luna, you let another guy knock you out?" He asks furiously and I roll my eyes.
"It wasn't intentional but I don't regret it either" I say as turn on the heater so the water can get warm. I turn to face Seven and the expression on his face is priceless!. He isn't taking the news lightly.
"Luna this is all a joke right?, Please tell me you're just trying to get back at me. You can't be pregnant for another guy, my Luna will never do that"
"Change is constant Seven. I had to change"
"Jesus Christ!" He says furiously as he walks helter-skelter around the bathroom ruffling his thick hair. He is damn mad and I don't care. I quietly turn off the heater, pour my bathing lotion into the bathtub and step into it. Once the warm water touches my skin, I close my eyes and enjoy its warmth. How I wish Seven wasn't here right now.
This is what I call inner peace, but this moment doesn't last because Seven lets out a loud scream. He's going to be alright ... I guess.
"Who's the bastard?" He suddenly asks as he stoops by my side.
"Forget it, you can't do anything to him"
"Goddammit Luna, just tell me already"
"Alright then, if you insist. It's Ace Damon" I blurt out and he looks at me in total disbelief. I love what I'm putting him through right now. He has been the badass guy for too long, it was high time I gave him a taste of his own soup.
"That's Sophia's fiancé!"
"Yeah, but we had sex before they got engaged so, I'm not a home wrecker"
"That son of a bitch cheated on my cousin with my girlfriend"
"Ex-girlfriend!" I correct and continue to scrub my body.
"You are still my girl Luna, deal with it"
"I'm carrying someone else's child"
"What makes you think I care about that? Ace can't take you away from me because of this. I am going to take you and his child away from him. He is not going to win this fight"
"So you're still not going to leave me alone even after finding out that I'm pregnant with someone else's child?"
"Not a chance Luna. You are mine and whatever is yours, is mine too. In a way, that baby you are carrying is mine and there is nothing anyone can do about it"
Okay, this is going to be a tough fight.
"Nah, your ass is crazy. Grab me a towel please" He gets me a towel from the towel stand. I step out from the bath tube and use it to dry myself.
"Luna I'm damn serious, you are not going to use this as an excuse to ditch me. Pregnant or not you are still mine, I hope you got that"
"Seven you are a psychopath. How can you be so selfish and inconsiderate? Why won't you just let me be?" I scream in tears.
"Because I love you" He screams "I love very much Luna and I regret every moment I chose to prioritize my career over you, I regret ever hurting you the way I did Luna. All I ask for is a second chance, is that too much to ask?"
"Seven I don't know how you can accept this but to be honest, I have moved on and I..."
"Ace is never going to be with you" He cuts me off. "He is engaged to my cousin and they are both in love. Why would you choose to be his mistress when you can be my queen? Come on Luna, don't do this to yourself."
"I have absolutely no plans of becoming Ace's mistress, we are going to co-parent once the child is born and I will move on with my life."
"This conversation is going nowhere is it?"
"I'm glad you figured it out"
"And why aren't you putting on your pyjamas?" He asks curiously the moment I slide on a pair of sweatpants.
"That's none of your business Seven" I say carelessly.
"Are you going out?"
"That is still none of your business" I put on a white t-shirt and a black hoodie over it. I want to be nothing but comfortable while I'm at Asher's place.
"You know I can stop you from going out right?"
"I'd love to see you try" I walk over to my mirror stand and tie my hair into a messy ponytail and apply some lip gloss.
"Stop being sassy Luna"
"And stop being such an ass" I say rolling my eyes as I put my phone and some undies in my bag and zip it close.
"Are you going to spend the night out?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"At Alora's?"
"Nope"
"Who then?" He asks with a creased brow.
"You'll see when he comes to pick me up"
"It's a he?" He asks aghast.
"Yep"
"Dammit! It's Ace right?You are going to spend the night at Ace's house, Luna. Are you for real?" He asks in rage and I can't help but jubilate internally. I like the fact that he's sad, angry , disappointed, frustrated and jealous.
Throughout our relationship, I had always been the one drowning in anger and sadness and frustration. He had always been the one with the carefree attitude. It's about time he tastes what it feels like to be neglected and cheated.
"You look hotter when you are mad," I say with a sly smile.
"Don't do that" He warns.
The doorbell rings and I heave out a heavy sigh of relief. My knight in shining armor is here to save me from this psycho of a human being called Seven.
"He's here" I say with a cheerful smile as I get up from the couch.
"You sit down there!" He instructs " I'm going to go out there and tell that Ace of a guy to fuck off!"
"Okay" I quietly sit down on the couch and he storms out of the bedroom.
I know how much Asher detests Seven, he's just going to push him aside and make his way in here or if Seven isn't lucky enough, he just might get his nose broken.
I would love that.
Moments later, I hear voices and footsteps approaching my bedroom and without warning the door is yanked open revealing a very pissed off Asher and a furious Seven following close behind.
"You okay wifey?" Asher asks as he walks over to me. Without warning, I burst into tears.
I'm such a drama queen, I don't even know why I'm crying right now, must be the pregnancy hormones.
"What did he do to you?"
"Nothing, please just take me away from here" I sob harder.
The expression on Seven's face is priceless, he is so confused right now.
"Wow, so this is it. You dump me, get pregnant for Ace and then spend the night at Asher's. Why are you doing this to me?" He asks calmly and I can tell from his voice that he is hurt.
He is deeply hurt.
This is the Seven I wanted to be with a few months ago. A Seven who loves and cares for me, A Seven who gets jealous whenever he sees me with another guy. But he was always so carefree and nothing else mattered but his career. Now that I've moved on, he is trying to be perfect.
This is so annoying. I feel like hitting him hard in the balls right now.
