Justin's Point of View
"Mmm, those fries were delicious!" Vanessa said.
"You should try my fry." I muttered.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you; it's too loud in here."
"Oh, um, nothing. Lets go to Gap now; I need some new boxers."
"Ok," she replied, blushing slightly.
Inside Gap...
"Which pair do you like better?" I asked Vanessa. "These are silky, but these will look good on your bedroom floor." Oh shit, I said that out loud!
Her eyes widened, but she didn�t protest. "Well, which ones would look good on me?" She asked flirtatiously.
I grinned and pointed to a nearby rack of low-cut thongs. "These would look amazing on you."
She scooped up a pair of baby blue ones and handed them to me. "Can I get these?"
"Oh yeah." I replied.
Later that night...
"I had a lot of fun today. Thanks for all of the clothes." Vanessa told me.
"No problem. Um... do you wanna come to my room for a little bit?" Or all night, I added silently.
"Sure."
We walked in and set our things down, then we sat down on the king-sized bed.
"So..." We both said at the same time, and burst out laughing. Then I leaned over and kissed her.
It was just like our first kiss; magical and complete in every way. And then, when I had mustered up enough courage, I reached my hand up her shirt. I felt her tremble as I touched her breasts, then she pulled away suddenly.
"This isn't right. We just met yesterday. I- I can't do this. I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow." She told me, her eyes downcast. Then she turned and quickly walked out the door.
I sighed and began to get ready for yet another shower.
Precious's Point of View
I stared up at my cracked bedroom ceiling. I felt like crying my miserable broken heart out, but no tears could come. I had cried all of last night and throughout the whole day.
How was I going to get by? With my meager paycheck, I could barely afford my small apartment. And with all the expenses of a baby, I would be in serious trouble. Plus there's the issue of daycare. I couldn't afford that, but who would watch the baby while I was at work?
I had already considered adoption. It was completely out of the picture. But it was just completely absurd that Josh wouldn't except his responsibilities of a child. He made love to me, and there are consequences to that sometimes. Oh, excuse me, did I say made love? I guess not, since he obviously never loved me. It was more like lying and then taking advantage of me.
I closed my puffy red eyes once more, willing sleep to come. I wanted to not have to think about my problems. But I knew one thing was certain.
I would have to confront Josh again.
