BCon33:

Hey Raleigh, this is Barrett Conway. I don’t message through my Lakes account for privacy reasons. I wanted to let you know I got your message. I’m not interested.

My smile fades.

Rahlee789:

I understand if you don’t want to meet, but we need to have a conversation at some point. Can I at least have your number and we can talk over the phone?

BCon33:

If I wanted you to have my number, you’d already have it. I’m not interested in meeting up or talking. I need you to stop messaging me.

I was hoping to speak with him directly before dropping the pregnancy bomb on him. It’s not like I’m asking him for money, I just want him to know. Though, if he was willing to help out financially, I’m in no position to turn it down.

Rahlee789:

This isn’t about a hookup or seeing you again, but we do need to talk.

BCon33:

I really don’t think there’s anything left that needs to be said. I’ve got a girlfriend, that night was a one-time thing, it was a mistake. I need to focus on my relationship right now and I need you to stay away.

What!?

Rahlee789:

I didn’t know you had a girlfriend.

That pisses me off! He said nothing about having a significant other of any kind. How many times that night did he say I washis?What a liar.

Rahlee789:

I get that I’ve been blowing up your DMs but it’s not because I want a relationship or something, I’m pregnant. I’m sorry to tell you in this way, but you should know that I’m planning on keeping the baby. We should talk either way to discuss what kind of involvement you want. Or something, I dunno…I feel like this is an in-person conversation.

BCon33:

Involvement? Are you fucking serious? You think you’re the first bunny to pull this shit? I don’t care if you’re angry or jealous or whatever, but lying about being pregnant in order to drive a wedge between me and my girlfriend is pretty fucking sick.

Rahlee789:

Why would I lie about this? I’m pregnant, Barrett.

I took 4 tests!!

BCon33:

Maybe you are. I mean, you fuck enough dudes, you’re bound to wind up with somebody’s kid, right? It’s simple math. Look, I don’t know how many other guys you’ve done this to, but it’s not going to work on me. It’s not mine.

My head drops to my hands, and I dissolve into tears. Every sob makes my throat ache. He is such a prick! I can’t believe I ever slept with him and felt the feelings I did for him—and now I’m having his baby.

Rahlee789:

I’m not trying to kid-trap you or something, I just wanted you to know.

BCon33:

Bullshit. You puck sluts are all the same. Just because you’re hot, doesn’t make your pussy any more special than the next girl. Get over yourself, Raleigh. Even if I wasn’t in a relationship, you wouldn’t be worth the second fuck.
