Tempted [Sequel to HNT]

Tempted

“Nowhere” I mumbled

“Well you should have been somewhere, which was here!”

“Hunny stop it” my mom intervened, putting a hand on my father’s chest “He’s been through a lot”

“What do you mean!? The kid hasn’t been through anything! Look at my daughter!” Rachel’s father shouted, all eyes fell on Rachel again. Her eyes slowly met mine; it was casted with pain and...

Relief?

She looked at my father “You lied to me”

He opened his mouth and closed it again.

“Now everyone get out I need to speak to Erick alone” she croaked.

Everyone filed out as she demanded and once my father left she began.

“Maxine?”

I stared at her, I didn’t know what to say

“Maxwell right?”

I nodded

“How did you know?”

“I’m not that stupid; it was becoming obvious”

“When?”

“For a little while; I realised when you didn’t come to see me when I was first admitted” she began to cry. I took a step forward

“Stay away from me!”

I stepped back.

“You’re gay?”

“Bisexual”

She nodded.

“You love him still?”

“Yes?”

“You want him”

“Very badly”

She sniffed I see. “I’m relieved”

“Why?” I whispered

She rubbed her now empty stomach.

“That baby didn’t deserve the life it was going to have to live”

I swallowed not saying anything.

“I’m sorry Rachel”
