Who's that fucker over there?, chapter 22
Tre poked at his food.
"So why do you want to have a talk with me?" Tre asked.
"I have some news... and depending on what you're thinking... it can be good or bad news," Lisea said.
"Erm... alrighty then. You wanna tell me?" Tre asked.
"I meant to tell you this... a REAL long time ago... I was just afraid about your reaction and you know, we've only been going out for a month now... "
Tre tapped his fingers. He was getting really nervous.
"Tre... I'm... " Lisea paused for a deep breath.
"What? Anorexic? Pregnant? Mentally ill?" Tre asked.
"The second one.." Lisea slowly said.
Tre thought back about what he just said. He couldn't remember.
"The second one?" Tre asked.
"I'm pregnant," Lisea said.
Tre choked on his food.
"What? Since when did you know??" Tre asked.
"3 months,"
"3 fucking months? WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME??" Tre asked, fuming.
The jukebox stopped playing and Tre's yelling could be heard. Everyone was staring at the couple.
Lisea started to shrink down in her seat as she turned red.
"Let's get out of here," Tre muttered, setting a 50 dollar bill down on the table.
He stormed out of the diner and got into his car. Lisea just got in when he started the engine. They drove in silence.
"Tre... don't be mad, please," Lisea finally said.
Tre didn't answer.
"What's so bad about having a kid?" she asked.
"It's not that, Lisea. Why didn't you ever tell me about this?" Tre asked.
"Well... I don't know how to say this... but when we.."
"Banged? Did it?" Tre asked.
"Yeah. My point is, we weren't even going out at that time! We weren't official,"
"So? You still should've told me. And why did you wait so long to say yes when I asked to be official?"
Lisea's teeth chattered. She was shaking.
"Are you gonna say something or not?" Tre asked forcefully.
"You don't know how this is at all. You don't even have a fucking clue how painful it is, waking up in the morning thinking I'm not pregnant. Well guess what? I am,"
Tre stepped on the brakes. He had attempted to run the yellow light, but it turned red as soon as he reached the streetlight.
"Godammit mother fucker," he muttered under his panicked breathing.
Lisea sat back in her seat, crossing her arms. She didn't want to talk.
Billie and Adie were sitting in the living room watching a video of Billie in concert. Billie had never took the time to watch himself in concert. When Billie came out on the stage, naked, Adie gave him a smack.
"You get naked for a whole bunch of people you don't know just like that? Jesus, it takes forever to get you naked if I'm the one watching," Adie said.
Billie was wondering whether Adie was joking around or not.
"I'm sorry, baby; you want me to strip down for you?" Billie asked before kissing Adie's cheek.
"Nah, it's alright. I'll save it for another time," Adie said with a grin.
Adie got up and went to the kitchen. She searched the refrigerator. Billie came up beside her and put his arms around her.
"Is there something you wanna tell me?" asked Adie.
Billie didn't say anything.
"Oh my god... that's enough," Adie said, gently pushing off Billie.
Billie's face was flushed.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't help it,"
"He's getting boners when I'm off guard.." Adie muttered as she searched for food.
"Can you blame a guy?" Billie asked.
"Well, no... You know what? Let's just drop this whole subject," Adie said when she found a roll of cookie dough.
Billie raised his eyebrows.
"What happens if you eat chocolate while you're pregnant... ?" Billie asked, suspiciously eyeing the roll.
"It's gonna be alright, don't worry your ass off," Adie said.
"So why do you want to have a talk with me?" Tre asked.
"I have some news... and depending on what you're thinking... it can be good or bad news," Lisea said.
"Erm... alrighty then. You wanna tell me?" Tre asked.
