been and never will be.”
    “You’re wrong, Dante. I’mnot too
good for you; you’re too good for me.”
    He pulled his hands free. “Don’t
patronise me.”
    “What?” she said, confused, thinking for
once she was doing and saying everything right. “I’m not doin’ that.”
    “You’re talkin’ to me like I’m a small child.
You sound exactly like that doctor does.”
    “I don’t mean to; I just want you to
understand I love you.”
    “I love you too; I just wish I didn’t
love Kara as well. I thought when I fell in love that would be it; that I wouldn’t
fall for anyone else. I also thought I would be happy, but I’m not, and when I’m
with you and Kara I’m even more unhappy.”
    She stared at him, his words hurting her
again.
    He continued, “Even when I’m making love
to you or Kara it doesn’t wipe out how I feel. Even worse, every single time I
made love to you it wuz after a fight, unlike with Kara. For some reason, you
and me have more arguments.”
    “You argue with Kara too, I’ve seen you
yell at her. And we had sex at Craven’s without it bein’ after a fight,” she
said, instantly wishing she hadn’t mentioned the man, the bastard forcing Dante
into porn.
    His jaw clenched. “I don’t remember half
of that cos I wuz drugged, and when we got free, both you and Kara wouldn’t
leave me alone, constantly fighting over me. I couldn’t even turn around
without one of you showin’ up and gettin’ in my face. And no matter how many
times I said no to Kara she wouldn’t stop. She continuously threw herself at me,
wearing me down until I gave in, like a weak-willed bastard with no balls. While
you patronise me, as well as making me feel like a dirty whore. I may be one; I
just don’t wanna be reminded every fuckin’ day ’bout it. I don’t put you down
and I don’t pressure Kara like she does to me. With the way you two behave, I honestly
don’t think either of you truly love me, you just want what you see, not what’s
in here,” he said, hitting his chest.
    “No, I do love you, Dante. I
really do.”
    “Then why don’t you treat me better?”
    “I don’t treat you badly, and why are
you even sayin’ this?”
    “Even though that psychiatrist wuz
annoying as fuck, she opened my eyes to the way you and Kara walk all over me.
She also said I shouldn’t let you two get away with it.” He grimaced. “The
problem is I’m weak when it comes to women; I let my cock rule my world. Maybe
I’d be better off if I give up women and stick with Jade.”
    “What?! Don’t say that. You’re not gay.”
    “I wouldn’t have sex with him, I’m not
attracted to males, but he supports me, and unlike you and Kara I think he
truly loves me. It may be an obsessive love, but he does what’s best for me,
not for himself. And when he found out I’d slept with Kara, he didn’t make me
feel like I’d fucked up. Instead, he just wanted to make sure I wuz all right.”
    “You still can’t have a relationship
with him.”
    “It’ll be platonic, so I can’t see why
not.”
    “This can’t be happening; I’m having
your baby, Dante – our baby.”
    “Honestly, do you truly wanna be with
me?”
    “Yes!”
    “Even after I fucked Kara?”
    She hesitated, but only for a second. “Ye—”
    “Just take me home,” he said, cutting her
off.
    “No, I wanna take you to my home.”
    He sniffed. “That would never happen, I
hate your cousin.”
    “Then we can get our own place.”
    He leaned his arm against the window,
placing his head on his hand. “I don’t know why you’re bothering; I’m not worth
the fuckin’ trouble.”
    “You are worth it,” she said,
rubbing her stomach.
    He glanced down at it, appearing conflicted.
“I will fuck up again, that’s the only certainty you’ll get from me.”
    “Just as long as I get you.”
    “Kara won’t stop tryna get me back.”
    “I won’t either, so please, just
consider what I’ve said, you owe me that much.”
