Let Me Know

"Come in, sit it down there on the table."

The guy came in and sat the box on the table as told and he pulled a clip-board out "Sign for it please." she signed for it " Thank you."

After the guy had left she grabbed both and raced into the room happily "I know you did this."

"Did what? It's a card on the roses you should read it and see who those are from?" he said eating.

She got the card out the roses and read it out aloud "To my one and only love always AJ." she turned to him "You're so sweet, what's in the box?"

"Open it and see, don't get excited it's nothing special." she happily opened the box when she saw what was inside and she started laughing when she saw her favorite ice cream mint chocolate chip and she hugged him saying "Baby, it's cute, this is so sweet thank you so much."

"Anything to make you happy"

"You are so romantic."

"I know"

"I love you so much AJ."

"I love you too babe, and look at me." She looked directly into his eyes. "I'm gonna be here with you threw your pregnancy, I'm madly in love with you and I just don't see my life without you."

"You say all this all the time but you won't marry me." He pulled away from her. "I'm sorry forget it baby I'm sorry....I'm going to go put these roses in some water."

She got out the bed kind of hurt and went into the kitchen, he knew when this conversation came up he grew quiet and nervous and that pissed her off and hurt her. He heard the radio come on and he knew she was cleaning so to smooth things over her came into the kitchen to see her starting dish water he put his arms around her waist hugging her from behind.

"You're mad at me."

She walked out the gripped of his arms and into the living room cleaning and he followed as she replied "I'm not mad at you just I'm disappointed in you."

"I want to marry you one day just not now."

"Not now, why not?"

"I'm just not."

She bumped past him and went into the kitchen and him following "It's almost 12, don't you have to go to the studio today."

"Yeah, I'm late."

She finished cleaning as he showered and got dressed when he was dressed he came back into the kitchen where she was cleaning and he kissed her cheek "Are you still mad?"

"Please go to work." P> "No hug, no kiss." She turned and kissed him quickly and then turned to finish washing the dishes "Now I know you can do better than that."

She turned to face him and she fixed his shirt as she said "Have a good day okay."

"Yeah"

She kissed him again and they said their goodbye's and he left and she felt like the world had been lifted off her shoulders with him finally knowing.

Claudia was at her house packing a few things to take back to his place. She was now in the bathroom taking a shower singing to herself and with just a towel around herself she walked into her bedroom to see her stepfather standing in her room holding her blow dryer in which she had came to get and she spoke angrily "What the hell are you doing in my room?"

"You look beautiful, a very sexy girl, I see why that boy loves os much, I mean who wouldn't."

"Please leave my room now, you have no right to be in here." she asked growing nervous.

"I'll wait for you downstairs then." he left and she caught her breath as she hurried to lock the door behind him. She put on some clothes anything so she could leave. Nothing short and revealing she usually wore her body was still damp and her hair was wet but she didn't care. She packed a few more of her things as she grabbed her keys and raced downstairs about to run out the door in which he stood blocking a devilishly smile across his face "So where you headed to."

"I'm staying the night at my boyfriend's place." She said very nervous and scared.

"The little bastard that got you pregnant right."

"He's not a bastard like you."

"I know what two people have to do to get a baby, so tell me how do you two get around to it?"

"That's non of your business, I'm leaving." she walked towards the door and he pushed her against the wall and in a scornful voice "Why don't you do to me what you do to that boy?"

"Please let me leave, with no problems I-"

"It won't take long, just about a hour, and no one will know it'll be our little secret." He tried to touch her face and she hit his hand away "Do not touch me."

"Why are you making this harder than it has to be? She tried to walk off and he slammed her back against the wall and tried to touch her and she repeatedly hit his hand away and when she tried to kick him in his middle he blocked as he said "That wasn't a good idea."

She tried to get away hitting and stuff after a while he slapped her to the floor and she got back up "How could you do this to me you know I am pregnant."

"I don't care it's not my kid." He pulled her hair from the floor and picked her up kicking and screaming into his and her mother's room, he threw her to the floor then locked the door "Come on now, it's not like you never did this before."

She got up holding back tears the best she could as she begged him not to do this to her. He grabbed her arm and struggled to get away from his grip screaming when he clapped his hand tightly over her mouth pushing her forcefully against the wall as he said snarling "Be quiet and don't move or I swear I'll kill you." He released his hand from her mouth and ripped her shirt and she tried her best to get away and he yelled "Stop moving!" he climbed up on her "This won't hurt Claudia I promise to be gentle."

He pinned her down and she fought him with all her might when she stopped "Okay, Okay I'll do it, just wait please." She spoke reaching for the vase not to far away "I'll do it okay but you can't tell a soul."

"I won't tell..... our little secret," he said smiling and touch her stomach and she felt as if she was going to throw up but she managed to get out "Our little secret."

"You'll love this."

He started fumbling with her bra strap behind her back and she said quickly "No, no wait, Aren't you going to kiss me first? AJ always kiss me first."

"Okay."

He lowered himself to kiss her his eyes closed she hit him over the head with the vase, and he fell off her and she quickly get up yelling "You son of a bitch." she kicked him in his middle "Don't ever put your hands on me." she kicked him again "That bastard taught me that you asshole."

She couldn't help but kick him again and him on the floor in pain couldn't even move as she walked out the room changed shirts and then quickly grabbed her bag and keys and left.
