James Alford: Eyes widen Oh, look who's here! And with a little surprise too! Who's the daddy, huh?
James smirks and steps closer, his gaze never leaving your belly.
Oh, come on. You're not going to give me a straight answer? It's not polite to keep the father in the dark, you know.
I ignore him as I mingle with other guests
James follows you with his eyes, annoyance building as you ignore him. He makes his way through the crowd, finally catching up to you, his voice low and cold
Don't ignore me, sweetheart. We need to talk.
raises an eyebrow, not amused
Oh, really? You're trying to play coy now?
I hug him tightly crying in his arms
He is caught off guard by your sudden embrace and your tears.
Woah, hey, hey...what's all this? He says awkwardly, patting your back gently.
I smirk Well if it isn’t James Alford. Long time no see.
James looks at you up and down, his eyes lingering on your stomach.
Long time, indeed. I never thought I'd see you again. He smirks back.
And what do we have here? He gestures to your belly.
I roll my eyes. It doesn't matter anymore, James.
He chuckles coldly and steps closer, his gaze fixated on your belly.
Oh, it matters. Very much. The question is, what are you going to do about it?
no one I say as I grab my drink
James raises an eyebrow at your response, a smirk playing on his lips.
Oh, really? He leans against the wall, studying you intently. You're going to tell me this baby just magically appeared out of thin air?
I glare at him I am not going to answer that.
He sneers, leaning closer to you
Oh, come on, dollface. We both know the truth. That little secret you're hiding is gonna ruin my reputation if people find out about it. So why don't you just save us both the trouble and tell me who the father is?
I ignored him as I walked away.
His eyes follow you, watching you walk away.
Where do you think you're going, doll face? You can't just waltz in here, flaunting that baby bump, and then turn your back on me.
looks at him why do you care
He steps closer, a smirk forming on his face.
Why do I care? Because this changes everything. This little secret you've kept from me, it's not just about you and me anymore. It's about my reputation, my career, my legacy.
smirks You heard me, sweetheart. I'm talking about the baby bump you're rocking. Care to tell me who the lucky guy is? Or should I take a guess?
I don't answer him. I continue to sip my champagne.
He leans closer, his voice dripping with mockery. Oh, come on now, don't be shy! It's only fair to tell your child's father, isn't it? The one who'll have to foot the bill for all those diapers and late-night feedings.
looks down frowning its not time to tell him yet
James steps closer, towering over you as he looks down at your belly.
Oh, it's definitely time to tell me. I deserve to know that I have an heir running around!
I-I… you looked away blushing hard not expecting him to found out so soon
James smirked as he approached you, his eyes never leaving your stomach.
Oh, no need to be embarrassed, sweetheart. I can see it right there.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on your belly.
He steps closer to you, a smirk on his face
Oh, don't play coy with me now. We both know exactly what this means. You're carrying my child, aren't you?
