Two Can Play That Game (Valentines Day)

Chapter 7 ('Til I say so)

*~The next day~*

 "I don't know what to do. I can't tell him. He's gonna be pissed." Christina cried on the phone.

"How do you know he's gonna be upset? He's probably gonna be surprised. Happy."

"No mother. You don't understand. He's a singer, and he's going to want to be held back. I'm not gonna ruin his life like I've ruined mine. He's so happy now, and I want it to stay that way. So...I'm gonna have an abortion."

"Christy do you know what you're getting yourself into? This is NOT the way to go. Just tell him, please." Justin entered the living room.

"Ma I gotta call you back. Bye." she hung up the phone, and sniffled. She wiped the wet substance around her eyes, and forced a smiled on her face.

"Who were you talking to?"

"My mother. I was just calling to say hi."

"That's nice." he sat beside her on the sofa. "So what happened at the hospital yesterday?"

"Oh...the bleeding was caused by too much of intercourse." she said without eye contact.

"Ohh. Okay."

"Yeah." she fiddled with her fingers.

"Are you...hiding something from me?" she looked up to stare into his eyes.

"What do you mean? Why would you sat that?"

"Well you usually fiddle with your fingers when you're nervous." she chuckled. "You don't happen to be...pregnant?"

"NO! Of COARSE NOT!"

"Okay, okay. My body is still aching. The doctor said to avoid intercourse for 2 weeks. That would give me time to heal."

"Okay." he pecked her on the cheek, and stood up. She watched him enter the kitchen, and sighed.

She felt so bad for lying to him, but he would never know about her pregnancy if she have an abortion. If he finds out she was pregnant and had an abortion he probably would never forgive her. She jut remember his ex had an abortion and he was upset with her for a few days. He even told her not to have an abortion, and she began to think about what she said. She began to think about what she said. She said she won't have an abortion, and that she wished that she got pregnant from him one day. Now when she's pregnant from him, she wants to mess up everything. What was she thinking or what would she do? It's just a matter of time before something bad happens.

*~3:52 p.m.~*

Christina and Justin laid in bed watching t.v. She gulped down her last bit of water, and sighed. "Damn, baby. That was your 8^th glass of water. Why are you so thirsty all of a sudden?"

"Oh...um...I don't know." but she did know. Justin rested his head on her belly. This made her think about her pregnancy. "Um...baby you can't lay your head on my stomach." he sat up, and stared at her confused.

"Why?"

"Um...because it's still...aching, and I might puke, because...I drunk a lot of water."

"Oh...okay."

'Whew. That was close'. She thought.

"I remember this one time when my ex looked me straight in the eyes, and told me...she wasn't pregnant. I believed her, and...next thing you know...I found a doctors report in her jacket pocket. She got an abortion. I specifically asked her was she pregnant, and she told me no. I wasn't upset about the pregnancy. I was upset, because she looked into my eyes, and lied to me. She...lied her ass off. I avoided her for about a week, then she came to my house apologizing. Since i'm a soft hearted man, I forgave her. Then she seduced me, and we went to the next level." he paused. "I just don't want to experience that again."

Christina felt guilt all over her body. She was put in a situation where she had to choose what she was gonna do, and it had to be very soon. "Justin...I have to tell you something. I haven't been completely honest with you. You see...I left an important sentence in my story about the visit to the doctor's office last night. What I say to you might change your life forever. Justin...I'm..."

Ring Ring Ring

The phone ringed. "Um...held that thought." he picked up the phone, and held it to his ear. "Hello."

"Hello. Could I speak to Christy?"

"Um...may I ask who's speaking?"

"Maria. Christina's mother."

"Okay. One moment." Justin handed the phone to Christina. "It's for you." Christina grabbed the phone, and rested it by her ear.

"Hello."

"Hello, sweetie. Did you tell him yet?"

"I'm about to."

"Good. Don't have that abortion."

"Ma. Please. I don't have time for this. Could you call me back in an hour? I'll tell you what happens then."

"Okay. Bye."

"Bye." she hung up the phone.

"So...what did you want to tell me?"

"Um..." she inhaled sharply, and fiddled with her fingers. "I...I have some bad news." he lifted his eyebrows in questioning.
