"You're so cute when you're being aggressive," he smiled.
But the compliment felt like he had splashed vomit over my face. Sorry about the gross graphic.
"I know I made some promises, and I didn't keep them, but I want you to know that I'm different now," he offered. "When I heard you were pregnant, so I just panicked and left. Then I heard you kept the baby, and I felt like scum. I changed countries to make better earnings and told myself I'd come back and make things right against."
I stared at him in complete disbelief.
"I don't get what you're saying," I shook my head. "You're scum that ran away and you're still a scum because you can't buy our way back."
"Olivia, I've changed," he insisted. I wanted to slap him or something. "I want to make things right between us. Can I at least see our child?"
"Don't say that, don't call her our child, she's mine," I corrected.
"I understand, can I see her?" he asked.
"No, you can't. Not anymore." I replied as I rubbed arms in frustration.
I was being reminded of Sophia and her last moments in my arms. I didn't like how I was feeling anymore, and I couldn't stand to be around him.
"That's all, I'm leaving," I said and turned around to leave but he held my arm again. I didn't budge.
"She died, didn't she?" he asked.
I started to tremble as I remembered how she started failing.
"It's my blood isn't it?" he asked. "I always had a feeling that might happen."
"If you always had the feeling, then why didn't you stay?" I asked. "You could have at least waiting till I gave birth before disappearing to chase your pointless dreams or excuses or whatever it is that small brain could think of."
"Would that have changed anything?" he asked.
"It wouldn't have changed a damn thing, but it would have shown me that you cared and only ran away at the last minute, and not before the race began," I answered. "Nine months Jason Frank. Nine months, I had to go to work to earn extra to fend for myself and the growing baby."
His shoulders dropped as he looked away, "I'm sorry."
"I should at least thank you. You made me more careful in my dealings with men," I said. "You also made me take my career in nursing more seriously, and I got to take care of so many children. So yeah, thank you for that."
He was too stunned to speak; that was completely my intention. The last thing I needed was to hear any more lousy things from his mouth.
"I'm sorry," he apologized. "I know I can't take back what I did, but I want to change all that. I want to use this opportunity to get back with you."
His eyes started to scan my body, and I felt weird at the way he did it.
"I'll be a better boyfriend this time. Well, a better husband, I just need you to take me back," he said. "Please?"
"I don't want you," I started trying to free myself from his grip. "Just get away from me before you draw attention to us."
"At least let me get you something to drink," he offered. "Just one meal or something. It's not much, but it can be enough to catch up."
"Stop trying to pester me," I said.
"You loved it when I used to pester you repeatedly like this," he said.
"Keyword is loved; now it's just disgusting," I insisted. "I'm gonna to give you till the count of three to release me, or I'll scream… One."
"Why are you being so unreasonable?" He asked and frowned.
"Two.."
