Chapter Eight

After she'd used the bathroom and washed her hands, Robyn stood in the bathroom, wringing her hands and pacing. She was shaking like a leaf being tussled in the wind. She couldn't believe her own mother had basically thrown her under the bus. And now her mother knew that Devin was the father of the baby. She hadn't wanted anyone to know until she'd told him the news herself. Which she hadn't planned to do for awhile.

She could just see him proposing once he found out about the baby. And if she hadn't been good enough for him to be with before, she certainly wouldn't marry him now. She realized that's what was bothering her. He'd rejected her but she knew that this baby could basically buy her whatever kind of relationship she'd craved with Devin. And she was so tempted by it all. But she knew better. Neither of them would be happy in the end.

Sure, he'd come on to her and he said he wanted to talk to her. He was a man. It would have just been casual sex to him. They'd had great sex together. If he missed it anywhere near as much as she did, that explained why he was giving her so much attention now. She refused to indulge in sex or any other type of intimacy with Devin. He would not get another opportunity to break her heart. She was still putting the pieces back together from his last offense.

Deciding that she had to just get this over with, Robyn ended her inner pep talk and left the bathroom, walking at a leisurely pace back to the blue room. She took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm her nerves but she knew it was helpless.

Walking into the room, she closed the door behind her and locked it. Devin was sitting at the desk, leaning back in the swivel chair, his arms folded over his broad chest, looking comfortable in a T-shirt and sweatpants.

Robyn walked to the bed and sat down, remaining stiffly upright. She folded her hands and placed them on her lap and looked over to Devin.

“Let's get this over with, please,” She said, trying to infuse a dull tone to her voice but hearing an obvious edge instead.

He pushed the chair over to the bed and sat facing her. He tried to take one of her hands but she stubbornly kept them clasped on her lap.

“I'm sorry I hurt you, Robyn.” His confession surprised her.

“So why did you?” Robyn whispered, the cadence of her heart so loud in her own ears that she could scarcely hear her own voice.

“I was hurting, too,” He said, staring into her eyes.

“But everything was going great and you...” Robyn's voice trailed off. “How did I hurt you, Devin? I didn't do anything but try to be the best girlfriend I possibly could.”

The anger and hurt was so powerful that her voice began to quiver even more. How could he even suggest that he'd been hurt? She hadn't made a single transgression during their time together.
