“All of this? Are you, by chance, talking about whatever the hell is going on with you and Shelby? Don’t think that I missed that. It was clear that she was pissed at you. Why is that?”
“Whatever is happening between Shelby and me is not any of your business.”
“Bullshit!” She snapped. “She’s my best friend! Or did you forget that?”
“Of course, I didn’t forget that, Diane.”
She studied me for a moment, and then her eyes grew wide. “Did you sleep with her, Zeke?”
I clenched my jaw but didn’t respond.
Diane got to her feet, “Oh, my god! You did! You slept with Shelby! How could you do that?”
I laughed as I stepped forward, “Oh, really? You want to play that game, Diane? Well, let’s play, shall we? Why don’t you tell me who you have been sleeping with?”
She jerked back, looking both startled and slightly nervous as her eyes jumped away from me. “What are you talking about?”
“Diane, for the last two months, you have barely been around. You’ve been working later, always distracted, and you never returned my calls or text messages—which is not like you.”
She crossed her arms defensively over her chest, “What in that makes you think that I am sleeping with someone else?”
I leaned forward, “Everything, my dear, and you want to know why?”
“Why?” She asked nervously, peering up at me from under her dark lashes.
“Because I’m sterile, Diane. I can’t ever have kids the old fashion way.” Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped. “Now, do you want to sit back down and explain to me what you have been doing? Who have you been sleeping with? And why you want to pin me up as the father? Then, when you are finished, maybe I’ll explain what is going on with Shelby and me.”
