BEST DECISION TO MAKE

"What?" He asked lost for words.

She swallowed hard. 

"Please don't kill me." She begged him.

"I'm not going to kill you." He said as he firmly held her arms. 

He looked genuinely confused. "Why the hell do you think I would kill you?"

Her lips quivered as she mustered the courage to say the words to him.

"Y… y… you think it isn't yours." She said. "I haven't slept with anyone else other than you. I heard the rumors. You have never gotten anyone pregnant. You won't believe me if I tell you that it is really yours."

By now the tears were already flowing down her eyes. 

He seemed taken aback by her words. 

He gently touched her cheeks and wiped away the tears. 

"Jasmine I know the baby is mine." He said shocking her. 

Her mouth dropped open, stunned. 

Trying so hard to decipher what he had just said. 

"Huh?" She said now her turn to be lost.
