Getting to Nathan's house address, Audrey was nervous but she knew the sooner she gets this issue resolved, the better for everybody as she needed help with Zane so maybe it's time to bring his father into the picture. She knows she can't hide him forever...
Nathan buzzed her in, she was in awe on entering his apartment as it looked very spacious and beautifully decorated.
Nathan. 'Hi... Welcome, what can I offer you?'
Audrey. Smiling nervously. 'Nothing, I'm fine thank you.'
Nathan. 'Are you sure? You look like you need a drink' standing up 'let me go get you something.'
Audrey. Standing to try stop him. 'NO!!! really, I am fine Nathan. Please sit.' She was in a hurry to get this over with...
Nathan. Concerned 'ok, ok.' Quietly sits.
Audrey. Biting her lower lip. 'What did you mean when you said I cheated on you?'
Nathan. Frowned... 'you disappeared, I searched everywhere for you, then Sophie told me you absconded with another man!!!'
Audrey. Surprised... 'you believed her?'
Nathan. Impatiently. 'You didn't give a choice not to believe her D, you left without a word... what was I supposed to believe? It was the only way I could move on!!!
Audrey. Teary 'I can't believe this Nate. How can you destroy what we had and try to put the blame on me?'
Nathan. Shocked 'destroyed???' Angrily 'the only thing I did was to love you Drey, that was my only offence.'
Audrey. Sobbing 'enough Nate!!! I saw you, I saw you that night with Sophie... what was I supposed to do stay then let you and Sophie keep lying to my face?
Nathan's heart sinked on hearing Audrey saying all this, he never did any of these things, he loved Audrey unconditionally, hell, He still did!!! He rushed over to her and immediately embraced her, trying to console her...
Nathan. Softly. 'You got it all wrong D, nothing happened between me and Sophie, why didn't you confront the whole situation then baby?
Audrey. Pushing him away... 'I'm not stupid Nate, I know what I saw and heard!!! I happily let her have you.'
Nathan. Sadly... 'please baby, let me explain what happened...'
Audrey. Trying to leave... 'no Nate, I won't let you lie to me again.'
Nathan. 'I'm not lying, I'll never lie to you!!!' Paused 'Sophie kept making advances towards me, you must have seen her at it and concluded D... you are the one for me Drey, I love you, I never stopped loving you.'
Audrey. 'Why didn't you say anything before now? Why didn't you tell me about her advances? You must have loved it so much to the extent you were smooching her Nate... I must look that stupid to you.'
Nathan. Confused... 'how? When? Wait... I don't know what you're talking about Drey.'
Audrey. Laughed bitterly. 'Now you're speechless? The day after we all went to Ed Sheeran's concert Nate, I clearly saw your hands all over her body and your mouth swallowing hers and now you're turning me into a liar and a blind person?'
Nathan. Holding her in his arms tightly. 'NO D!!! I didn't do any of that...'
Audrey. Trying to get out of his grasp... 'I expected that much from Sophie as It wasn't the first time she flirted with my boyfriends but not from you Nate...' successfully moving out of his grasp. 'It's all in the past now and I have let it all go... you should too.'
Nathan Was confused, he didn't know why Audrey keeps accusing of what he didn't do or know about.
Nathan. Sadly... 'Drey please believe me.' Paused 'I will prove to you that none of this is true, I promise you D.' After a long silence 'since you didn't leave me for another man Drey, who is Zane's father?'
Audrey. Calmly 'he is your son Nate... Zane is yours.'
Nathan's heart skipped a bit... Zane is his son? He tried to hold back tears that was already welling up in his eyes but just couldn't control himself...
Nathan. Stammers... ' you mean He's mine???' Sitting quietly, he held his head and sobbed... 'how can you keep this from me Drey? Why?'
Audrey. Sympathetic... 'I had to Tee, it was the only way I could hurt less, I wanted to be away from you and Sophie. I still do but it's hard to, we work in the same office... you betrayed me Nate that doesn't mean I should keep your child away from you.'
Nathan. Frowning... 'why wouldn't you believe me woman? I had nothing to do with Sophie, absolutely nothing!!!' Paused 'I promise to prove my innocence...'
Audrey. 'I really don't care Nate, I felt I needed to tell it as it is, seeing that I have, I need to go now.'
Nathan. Trying to stop her 'Hold....'
Audrey. Sternly 'no Nate, don't!!!'
Nathan. Sighed 'when can I meet my son?'
Audrey. Already walking away... 'you will soon... I need to tell him about your existence first.'
Nathan watched Audrey leave, he had lots of thoughts and plans already the first was going to be looking for Sophie...
