CONTINUATION:
Jay POV:
We rang the doorbell and Denzel came out, while he was brushing his teeth. He held up his hand signalling to not speak for now. He went past us and spit out the toothpaste in a sink that was outside. He asked
Denzel (surprised): Hi, what are you guys doing here?
Jay: We came here to talk to you. Can we come inside?
Denzel: I am sorry. You guys can't come in. Mom and Zeke are still sleeping. Maybe you can talk to me here?
Kiefer: Of course we can! First, we wanted to give you presents for your birthday. We know we are a few days late, but I hope you accept it.
Denzel (politely): You really didn't have to! Thanks guys!
Denzel POV:
I am happy that Jay and Kiefer came and remembered my birthday and also gave me gifts. But there is some seriousness in their eyes, that I can't really put a finger on.
Jay (serious but genuine): You're welcome!! And we wanted to talk to you about Grace. Grace told me that she is pregnant and that you aren't taking responsible. And I know you have a reason for this. So, can you please tell me the reason?
After that I went into a Shock. I don't know if I should say the truth or just lie. But there was something in their eyes that made me feel safe. They felt trustworthy and they didn't seem judgemental at all and right now I needed that. I sighed and blurted out the truth with closed eyes so I don't have to face their disappointment.
Denzel (ashamed): I initially used Grace for her money. I first became friends with her and made her fall for me, but I fell for her while doing my plan. I want that she knows that I genuinely love her. I didn't know how to do that, so I just pushed her away like the idiot I am. I am not ashamed that she is carrying our baby, I am scared! I know I am such a coward, but I am scared! I don't want her to think I am still using her. I am terrified of losing her! I am petrified that I am not good enough. She deserves someone better.
I didn't know I was shedding tears until a hand caressed my face and wiped my tears with a calm that felt strangely familiar. I slowly opened my eyes and saw... Grace? There were a few tears running down her face. I immediately kneeled and held her hands, I didn't care what Jay and Kiefer thought about me. What is important or rather who is important is Grace.
Denzel (apologetic): I am sorry, Grace
Grace (firm but not cold): Get up!
I immediately got up
Grace then immediately hugged me and said: You think I am not scared, Denzel. I also think I am not good enough to become a mother, but I just wanted you by my side, Denzel. With you, I feel like I can accomplish anything. But when you said you can't take responsibility, it broke my heart. You could have told me! I would have been upset like I am right now, but love doesn't just vanish, Denzel. It stays even when the other ends up hurting you. You will be a great father, Denzel. And who told you that you can decide who deserves me and who doesn't? I chose you! I chose you because of your personality and maybe because of your looks. *gave a small smile*
Her words calmed me and for the first time after a few weeks, I finally felt safe and calm. I let out a small laugh; it was small but real.
Denzel: How do I deserve you? *kissed on the forehead*
Grace (honest): You don't, but I chose you anyways.
Grace pulled out of the hug and then I looked at Jayfer and Jay was crying while Kiefer was hugging her.
Grace POV (before explaining):
I was going to talk to Denzel today, so I could talk to him. I went to Denzel's home. And in front of his house was a familiar car. I hid behind it for some reason and saw Jay and Kiefer talking to Denzel. I didn't want to eavesdrop, but I just happened to listen to Jay's question.
Jay: You're welcome!! And we wanted to talk to you about Grace. Grace told me that she is pregnant and that you aren't taking responsible. And I know you have a reason for this. So, can you please tell me the reason?
Denzel's eyes widened and I could clearly see his debate between saying the truth or lying. But truth won, because he closed his eyes. I stepped next to Jay and signalled Jay and Kiefer to be quiet. They nodded and he blurted out his confession.
Denzel: I initially used Grace for her money. I first became friends with her and made her fall for me, but I fell for her while doing my plan. I want that she knows that I genuinely love her. I didn't know how to do that, so I just pushed her away like the idiot I am. I am not ashamed that she is carrying our baby, I am scared! I know I am such a coward, but I am scared! I don't want her to think I am still using her. I am terrified of losing her! I am petrified that I am not good enough, she deserves someone better.
He used me and fell in love? I felt disappointed, but what broke me, was that he was sounding genuine and was crying hard. He was terrified and thought he wasn't good enough. Who is he to decide who I deserve and who I don't deserve? And he isn't ashamed of the baby? My tears were spilling at his confession. When he finished, I automatically went to him and wiped his tears. He kneeled in front of me and apologized. I didn't want him kneeling, I wanted him by my side. So, I forced him to stand and hugged him. The I blurted every feeling I was feeling. (A/N: the rest you know)
Jay POV:
Why is meddling so emotional? I am a Mafia queen and I literally can't stop crying because of a heartfelt confession. I was surprised when Grace was here, but I didn't object, because I would have told Grace anyways. But I didn't know it would be this emotional. After that confession I thought of Kiefer. I immediately hugged him. I hugged him, like he was leaving for a hundred years. I am scared of losing him. The people at the amusement park were right. He is a gem! He hugged me back, while giving kisses on top of my head and whispered
Kiefer (whispered): I am here, don't worry! Please stop crying, I hate seeing you cry. I need a smile on that beautiful face of yours.
He knew why I was crying and that is another reason why I love him. Another reason why I love him is that he is trying to make me smile and unfortunately (not really unfortunate) it works. I pulled back and said to Denzel
Jay: We will let you alone, ok? Please clear your misunderstandings.
They nodded and they went to walk out in the street. Kiefer and I went to the car and I don't know what got over me, but I kissed his whole face and then his lips. He looked shocked, but he melted into it. The kiss was an emotional kiss and he was responding with the same gentleness. After a while he started driving and we reached home. Jane wasn't home, because Jane was on a date with Yuri!!! AHHHH! They are so cute!! I will get every detail out of her when she comes back!!
