“And what about the fact that I love you?”
She shrugged. “I believe you like sleeping with me, but I find it hard to believe that you really love me, Storm.”
She sighed deeply when he didn’t say anything but
continued to stare at her. “We agreed that we would end
things between us whenever I was ready,” she finally said to break the silence. “Well, I’m ready. For us to continue
seeing each other will only complicate matters.”
“Complicate matters like hell!” he said, his voice rising. “I tell you that I love you and that I want to marry you and give you the baby you want, and you’re telling me that you don’t believe a word of it and to get out of your life? And to top things off, you plan to continue with this crazy scheme to
have a baby from a man who not only doesn’t love you, but a man you don’t even know?”
“I don’t owe you an explanation for anything I do, Storm. And considering everything, it would be best if you left.”
Storm stared at her for a moment, then moved past her to the bedroom. Moments later, fully dressed, he came back into the living room. He stood in front of her and said softly, “I hope that one day you’ll take your blinders off. Maybe then you’ll recognize your Mr. Right when he comes and stands right in front of you.”
