now, one of my soldiers could
be fertilizing the egg that is our baby.  And you want me to stop it from
happening.  I won’t do it.  And neither will you!”
         “Be reasonable Antonio—”
         “No!  Not about this!  I won’t forgive you if
you take this pill, Tiressa.” He vows, placing the tiny box in the palm of my
hand.  “The choice is yours.”
     
     
    Chapter 18
     
         “Antonio please.  Just let me out half a block
before we get to the club.”
         “What kind of a man do you think I am?  I’m
not letting you out anywhere but in the damn parking lot.”
         “I just don’t think it’s a good idea for us to
pull up at the club in the same car.  How will that look?”
         “I don’t give a damn how it looks.  I agreed
not to shout our relationship to the world.  But I didn’t agree to deny that we
are seeing each other.”  We’re in the parking lot now and I’m running out of
time.  Antonio can be so damn stubborn.
         “Okay, then let’s not walk in together…you go
in first and then I’ll go in five minutes after.”  Now that he has parked the
car, he’s giving me his full attention.  Turning to look directly at me, he barks
out through clenched teeth.  “Tiressa.  You are insulting me again, and I don’t
appreciate it.”
         “Antonio, you know I’m not trying to insult
you, so you can just calm down.  But we are already seen too much together at
the office.  I think people are starting to talk about us.  What if it became
known that you had my office redecorated, and  that all those roses came from
you?”  Glancing around the parking lot, I point out that his security team and
others from B&S are already here.  “If we walk in there together, especially
at this time of morning, they’ll know for sure that something is going on
between us.”
         “I wish that I could care, Tiressa…but I
don’t.  We are going to have to sit down with my mother soon because I’m not
willing to hide how I feel about you any longer…I’m done with sneaking around
to be with you.”
         “But you promised you would!”  I cry, really
upset.
         “I promised to give you some time, and that’s
exactly what I’ve done.  Your time is up.”  He says unyielding.
         Exhaling a wobbly frustrated breath, I hedge
for a little more time.  “This celebration is for Jason and Adam.  Let’s not do
anything to take the spotlight away from them.  The last thing I want is to be
part of anything that can potentially ruin their party.  Can we put some
distance between us until after tonight.”  When it looks like he isn’t going to
budge, my eyes water and I become desperate.  “Please, Tony!  Just until after
the party and then we can discuss how to go about telling your mom.”
         I sag with relief when he reluctantly relents
–but just a little.  “Okay, but only on one condition.  I want you and the pups
to come stay with me for a couple of days.”
         “Antonio—”
         “No, Tiressa.  Take it or leave it.  Besides,
your bed is an absolute nightmare…it’s too damn small.” 
         He leaves me no real choice.  “Fine.  I’m sure
me and the pups will enjoy spending time at your place.”  Now that he’s gotten
his way again, he visibly relaxes.  “That’s my girl.”  He’s all smiles.  “Now
give me a taste of those beautiful luscious lips.”  It’s difficult to resist
when he hits me with that sexy - you know you want this- look.  Leaning
towards each other, we share a passionate kiss.  “Umm.”  He groans.  “All your
lips are beautiful, luscious and delicious.” 
         “Antonio!”  Jerking back from him, I move to
get out of the SUV.  “You are so nasty.”   I toss the words at him as I close
the door and dash to the club’s entrance.  I make it into the club a little
winded, but most importantly, ahead of
