I debated whether or not to go back to Sarahâs after the show that night. Part of me wanted a rest from the uncontrolled emotions and drama, but I knew delaying it any longer wouldnât help. Plus, there were a dozen missed calls and texts from her on my phone.
âSo, whatâs the scoop on that blonde you were with last night?â Ben asked. âYou really her baby daddy.â
âThatâs what she tells me.â
âHow does that work? You date her but screw guys?â
I threw him an angry look and he held up his hands, taking a pace back.
âIâm not trying to be a dickhead.â
âItâs . . . complicated.â
He gave a dry laugh. âYou should have stuck to dudes, mate. Much easier.â
I had to smile at the irony.
I texted Sarah that I was on my way, giving her a chance to tell me not to bother, but she didnât.
She was waiting for me on the couch. I knew sheâd been crying because her eyes were red, but she seemed calm now.
âI talked to Mum,â she began before I sat down. âI know she can be . . . but she didnât mean it. Sheâs sorry you were upset.â
I doubt that. But I kept the thought to myself.
âWe need to talk about how this is going to work,â I said carefully.
She sighed and looked down. âI know. I havenât been very fair to you. I havenât even thought how you must be feeling, what with breaking up with that guy, and me dumping all this on you.â Then she reached out to hold my hand. âBut youâre my friend, Luka. You can tell me anything.â
I cleared my throat.
âIt was a shock, about the baby.â
âIâm sorry.â
âThatâs not . . . I keep thinking what will he or she be like. Do you think theyâll be a dancer?â
She laughed happily. âGood odds, Iâd say. But maybe sheâll get brains like her Uncle Seth. Or maybe sheâll debate like a barrister, like her grandmother.â
I withheld a wince. Twice.
âIt could be a boy and play soccer.â
âOoh, home games at Tottenham Hotspurânot hating that!â
I smiled.
âBut Iâve been thinking about us, as well.â
She frowned, her eyes darting around anxiously. âOkay?â
âMaybe I could . . . take you on a date? See how it goes?â
Her smile returned. âThat would be great! We did kinda just skip to the getting shitfaced and having sex bit.â
âIâll find somewhere else to live, too.â
Her smile fell immediately. âWhy?â
I ran my hands through my hair, feeling the gluey tug of gel that I hadnât washed out.
âIt would be easier.â
âEasier how exactly? Bloody hell, Luka, weâre going to be parents in six months. We should be sharing this.â
âWe will.â Somehow. âBut I think we should take things slowly.â
âSlowly?â She pulled herself off the couch, staring at me. âIf thatâs what you need, Luka. But you donât have to move out. Take the couch. It doesnât bother me.â
That could have gone better.
She turned around suddenly.
âWhy donât you call me âbooch-kaâ anymore?â
I frowned. âI do.â
âNo, you donât. Not since the first day I was back from Australia.
