Slap In The Face, chapter 18
The next two weeks flew by and BJ and I quickly fell into the doing things the way a couple with routine. Except when we were with Sarah and James because being married if she knew what I was doing the sinful sinful things we were doing day and night. Every time we had dinner at Sarah's I felt like a silly school girl holding hands under the table (except most of the time we weren't holding hands) if she ever found out I was involved with a married man she would probably kick the shit out of me so I preferred to keep our relationship a secret from her. The two weeks consisted of midnight strolls, trips to the beach, movies and all of the other couple things we never did the last time we were together. Before I knew it father's day had come around and BJ would be leaving a week from the day.
"Good Morning Beautiful" said Billie wiping my hair from my eyes and kissing me softly on the lips.
"How are you feeling?" he asked
"Like for the first time in seven years on fathers day, I can actually get outta bed..... And it's because you're here with me" I replied
"I'm glad to be of service, talking about service why don't you join me on the balcony for some breakfast"
"You made breakfast?" I asked shocked
"Yes I did now come and eat" he said leading me out onto the balcony to a table setting with roses in a vase on it
"You went to so much trouble" I exclaimed
"Well I knew you would be down today so I wanted to make it special" he blushed
I planted a long kiss on his lips "Thank You Billie"
As I sat down to eat he pulled out his acoustic guitar "What's that for?" I asked
"Well I've got a song that I want you to hear, but be brutally honest because I need to know if its shit or not."
I laughed "You dickhead every song you have written since you were 15 has been a fucking number one hit what makes you think this one is any different"
"Your such a flatterer" he laughed
"No I'm not, just bloody sing it already" I replied
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
When September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
By the end of it I was crying silently "Oh my god BJ its beautiful"
"Yeah I was thinking it could go on my solo record" he replied
"WHAT"
"SOLO MY ASS that is a fucking Green Day song through and through, cant you hear the sections where it goes non acoustic"
"I know I know I'm just scared"
"Scared of what the two men who you have been best friends with since high school"
"I don't know how to show them it's just...." He started before I put a finger to his lips
"Shah listen to me you are going to go home next week call them, show them every song you have ever hid from them and then you are going to ask them for then input You three will have kissed and made up by the week after you get home." I ranted
"When did you get so bossy?" he asked
"My rants not over yet mister, and if I call you and you three aren't friends again I will be down there and all of you are getting 2 black eyes and various other bruises" I said loudly
He grinned "You're so violent." "Damn straight, gotta be tough when dealing with thick-headed fools"
He laughed "You know your threats won't work on Tre"
My eyes widened "oh yeah he likes pain"
"But the question is do you?" I asked cheekily pushing him into my bedroom and onto the floor
"Only when it comes from beautiful" he replied
We spent the rest of the day in bed and then around 10. 00 I finally managed to build up the courage to ask the question I had wanted to ask from the moment we first made love 2 weeks before
"BJ what is this, what are we?" I asked
He sat up smoking a cigarette and coughed
"Um were having fun right two old friends having a really good time together" then he pinched my ass and I went ballistic
"YOU ASSHOLE!" I screamed jumping out of bed wrapping the sheet around myself
"I was so stupid so fucking stupid" I berated myself
"Come on Dia settle down" he pleaded
That was the last straw "GET OUTTA MY HOUSE"
I grabbed him by the ear furiously and chucked him out of the door
He banged on the door repeatedly "Let me in Lydia come on stop being so ridiculous"
I ignored him and began throwing all of his stuff into his suitcase
I threw it out of the door and it knocked him onto the floor
By this point all my neighbours were staring at Billie sprawled in front of my door
"Dia please let's talk about this" he whined red as a tomato
"You wanna talk fine I'LL TALK" I replied angrily
"I don't want to ever see you again, ever and if for some unfortunate reason I have to I will spit in your worthless face go back to your whore of a wife who you chose over me and one last thing If you tell Mike or Frankie about what happened between us and it puts even an ounce of strain on our friendship I will kill you" I exclaimed
He nodded dumbly because he had never seen me so angry in my entire life
I swung around and slammed the door to the clapping and "You go girl" chants from the other people in my building.
Then I heard a knock at my door
"Umm I need my wallet" he asked uncertainly
I opened the door and threw it as hard as I could right between his eyes then went back inside.
Amazingly I wasn't extremely upset, I wasn't angry anymore either I was just disappointed that I hadn't learnt from my mistakes. I didn't cry instead I felt a sense of relief wash over me and I decided to call Chris.
We started dating and it just felt right, he was the perfect gentleman, shy, and romantic, funny, nice and average everything Billie Joe wasn't. We had been dating for 2 months when everything changed dramatically. For the past week I had been vomiting every morning and I felt like complete crap when I went into work I nearly fainted on my desk.
"Lydia hunny you look terrible" Chris exclaimed when he saw me stumble into work
"Thanks for the information Einstein" I snapped
"I didn't mean it like that you always look beautiful I just" he rambled
"No I'm sorry babe I just feel like crap still I wish this bug would go away." I replied
He put a hand to my forehead "You burning up Lyd" he said worriedly he guided me to his car "Where are we going?" I asked
"I'm taking you to the doctors." He replied
We went to the doctor's office and Chris waited in the waiting room while I was consulted.
"Well what's wrong with me doc" I asked
"Well Miss Rose it seems there's nothing wrong with you at all in fact congratulations are in order for you and your young man" the doctor beamed
I felt all colour from my face drain in five seconds flat
"W www what are you saying" I stuttered
"Your pregnant miss rose." She replied
Then everything went black and I woke up in my bed
I walked out into the kitchen to find Chris making coffee
"Hey gorgeous how are you feeling." He asked
"Um much better" I replied
"So what's wrong with you Lyd" he asked
I burst into tears and sobbed an sentence that couldn't be understood
Chris laughed and wrapped me up in his arms "Hey settle babe I can't understand you"
"I we have to break up I'm so sorry" I cried
"But why? I mean I thought everything was going great" he asked softly
"It is" I replied
"Then why I love you Lydia" he pleaded
I froze "You love me" I asked softly
"Yeah isn't it kinda obvious" he replied
"We can't be together I'm pregnant, it happened before we got together" I sighed
He stood quietly contemplating for five minutes before I asked
"Are you gonna say something?"
"Nothing has to change, unless of course you wanna be with the father." He said
"No the father is out of the picture."
"Well good because I love you and I want to be with you and I will treat this baby as if it were my own" he stated
I wrapped myself in his arms
"I love you too"
"Good Morning Beautiful" said Billie wiping my hair from my eyes and kissing me softly on the lips.
"How are you feeling?" he asked
