Chapter 39: BRANDON

She was obviously very nervous and nothing at all like that night. Then she'd been bold; she'd known what she wanted from me and took it. Now she stood before me with bowed head and fidgeting hands.

I still didn't know what she meant by that crack about me taking my time to come get her. Had she known all those times I'd been following her? Whatever game she was playing, if she'd wanted me to play along, she should've told me the rules.

I pulled one of the three pregnancy tests I'd picked up myself from the cabinet. I'm always thinking three steps ahead. I knew after what I saw that I was gonna go after her, but I also knew I wasn't going to take her word for it, so I bought my own shit.

"Here, do whatever the fuck it is you have to." I held it out to her, knowing that my life was about to change in a big way.

"I can't do this in front of you." Where was all this shyness coming from all of a sudden? I don't recall her being this shy the night we fucked.
