All through dinner I kept getting these looks from Mitch, who was sitting right in front of me. We made eye contact more than a few times. I was furious at him. Lying to everyone, making me look like a hor,the biggest hor in Kentucky. Especially in Brian's eyes. I had to tell him the truth about Jakob, he deserved to know. Brian got up and told me to follow him in the kitchen. I did.
"What is it?" I asked with my back to him.
"Look at me," he demanded.
"I can't"
"Dammit Isabelle, I said look at me!" he said jerking me around to face him. I still didn't look at his face, only my shoes.
"Why can't you look at me? You couldn't keep your eyes off Mitch! After all he's done to you!"
"But I-"
"Shut up!"
"I have to tell-"
"I don't want to hear what you have to say, get Jakob, we're leaving."
"Fine" I said slipping past him.
(Brian's Pov)
"Damn her" I hit the counter in frustration. She still wanted him, after what he did to her I thought she would hate him. Why couldn't she just want me. At first I thought she did, but now I don't know anymore. wait a minute, what am I saying? I don't want her, I don't know why I'm getting this upset over a woman who used me. Who cares if she is the only person who gets to me like this. But she slept with Mitch right after she was through with me. the only reason I had found her was because everyone wanted to see Jakob. Little Jakob the kid reminded me of someone, but I couldn't name who.
(Belle's Pov)
"Belle, can I talk to you in private?" Mitch asked. I nodded and he led me to a small room.
"So I assume you haven't told Brian he's a daddy,"
"How do you know?"
"He isn't beating my butt,"
"Why did you tell them he was yours, how dare you lie on me?"
"Don't you get it by now?"
"Get what?"
"I was in love with you back then, but you were Brian's, you always will be" I froze.
"Oh my God Mitch, I had no idea, and there I was always babbling about how much I loved Brian, I'm so sorry,"
"Don't worry about it, I'm over you, I accepted the fact that you were Brian's a long time ago,"
"I'm not Brian's, but now people think I'm a hor, I never slept with you,"
"who cares what people think?"
"I guess your right about that"
"So I was wondering Mitch, could you continue to pass as his father, I won't expect anything of you,"
"Not a chance in hell" he answered quickly.
"Why not?"
"That's Brian's kid, you can't keep something like that from a man." I sighed.
"I know I have to tell him, but I don't know how.
"He's going to find out sooner or later,Preferably later. He's going to be so pissed at you and me,"
"I know, I'll guess I'll tell him tonight,"
"You should. You still love him don't you?"
"Yes, no, of course I don't love him anymore, I don't even like him.I've been over him for years,"
"Oh, yeah right!"
