《Not Friends》Swear Jar

We stare at each other for a while.
Damn she's pretty. She's a redhead and has the best features.
She stares at me with a frown and I do the same.
"I see that you actually are pregnant. With Valentino's child." Her voice cold and distant.
"Marilyn what are you doing here?" Tino cuts in.
"Uh, actually I am pregnant but it's not Tino's child." I lie.
"Whose is it?" She cocks an eyebrow up.
"It's..." I quickly think of a fast lie. "Tino's brother's child." My voice a bit too high pitched.
She lifts up her eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh. How come I've never heard or met this Valentino's brother." She folds her arms accusingly.
I look up at Tino who's already looking at me.
"Tino, why hasn't Marilyn met Vincent?" I cock up an eyebrow amused.
Valentino had a twin brother of which was his polar opposite. He was way kinder and looked nothing like Tino. Vincent was still devilishly handsome like Tino, but they just didn't look alike. Vincent was also a lot more kept to himself, not that Tino isn't, but he always made sure that he never came in the public eye.
How do I know Vincent? Well it's kind of a funny story.
"Well...you know Vince." He says and I shake my head still amused.
"Tino doesn't have a brother. You're just making an excuse about you're affair with my fiancee." Marilyn says.
"Ex. Ex-fiancee." Tino corrects.
"No I'm not. Tino has a twin brother named Vincent. He was actually the guy who took my virginity." I honestly admit.
"Oh." She covers her mouth.
"Vince took your virginity? You're the girl that de-virginized my brother." He says with disbelief.
"What? He was my first and so was I. We were each other's firsts in more than one thing." I shrugged.

"Wow." He says with disbelief.
"Hey! Marilyn's still here." She grabs our attention and we both turn to her.
"Yeah about that. What are you doing here?" Tino asked seemingly a bit annoyed by her presence.
"I actually wanted to talk to you." She said innocently and I furrowed my eyebrows.
"About?" Tino folds his bulky arms over his chest. I can't help but stare at his arms a second too long.
"I don't feel comfortable talking about what I came here for in front of her." She looks at me with a bit of disgust.
I furrow my eyebrows in irritation and hold back the urge to roll my eyes.
"Whatever you want to say, you can say in front of her. She quite an important person to me now." He says and I hold back my smile.
"Fine, whatever. I came here to talk about us getting back together." She slowly starts to walk towards Tino who is behind me.
"Why would I want to do that?" His voice cold.
She stops just beside me.
"Well because Valentino, if you must know." She rolls her eyes. "I'm pregnant."
My eyes widen and so do Tino's. We wear the same flabbergasted expression on our faces.
"And it's mine?"
"Obviously. We had way more sex than Mark and I." She sighs. "Look I know it's a lot to take in but it's real and we're going to have this baby." She smiles but Valentino's frown only deepens.
"Honestly I need to think about it." He said, running his hand down his face.
"What do you need to think about? I'm pregnant with your baby and we're both still single!" She yells getting frustrated.
"Marilyn are you fucking listening to the shit that coming out of your fucking mouth?" He takes in a deep breath. "You fucking cheated! And honestly I did too. I cheated with Harley and we just lied to prevent you from hating her, us. And yes, I do have a twin brother named Vincent who used to date her."

She shuts her eyes tight and let's out a breath.
I get up from my chair feeling too much tension, especially seeing that I was literally in the middle.
"Uhm, I should give you guys some sp-" Marilyn's hand collided with my face before I knew it.
My hand shoots up to my now painful and red cheek.
Before I know it, Valentino is standing in front of me, protecting me.
"You bitch!" She calls out viciously.
"I'm the bitch? I could the same for you, hoe!" I defend.
Now I'm angry. I barely did anything wrong but I still get slapped none the less.
"You calling me a hoe?" She seems like she wants to jump on me but I don't give a fuck.
"No, I meant to say whore!" I add in.
"This bitch!" She charges to get me but Tino stops her.
"Marilyn, ENOUGH!" Tino bellows.
"Why are you shouting at me?" She seems confused.
"Because you come to my house and bring all this 'get back together' bullshit! You act as though you never cheated and when I tell you about my one time thing, you go batshit crazy on the mother of my child." He sighs frustrated. "Look, I'm not seeing us together in future, so I don't mind co-parenting."
She scoffs. "Are you serious right now?" She folds her arms on her chest. "You're pick that." She snarls as she looks at me. "Over this." I roll my eyes.
"No Marilyn, I'm not because Harley aren't together either. We're actually just co-parenting like how you and I are going to." He points out.
"I don't believe you. You two are fucking and you're in a relationship." She says accusingly.
"No we're not!" Tino yells frustrated. "But you know what, I'm tired of this so I'll see you tomorrow at the doctor's." He says.
She huffs and looks at me. "This isn't over between us." I roll my eyes. "Be there at 8 a.m. sharp." She deadpans at Tino and turns and leaves at last.
"What a bitch!" I let out.
Tino walks to a cabin and walks back out with two jars in hand and a marker.
He places the jars on the table and writes Tino's swear jar and Harley's swear jar.
"How much do we put in the jar for every cuss?" He looks up at me.
"Are you fucking serious?" He shrugs. "A crazy bitch you call your ex-fiancee just slapped me and well all sorts of crazy and you wanna do the swear jar now?" I lift an eyebrow at him.
"And that's six. So I'm guessing now that we'll put in the same amount of money in each jar." He says nonchalantly.
I grunt and head to my wallet on the counter.
"Can you borrow me six hundred dollars, I don't have cash." I say as I look at the cards in my wallet.
"What? Who doesn't carry cash?" He walks over to check my cashless wallet.
"I'm sorry but I'm the swiping type. I just swipe." I smile and grab the six hundred in his hands and put it in his jar.
I walk over to his wallet on the island and take out another six hundred and put it in my jar.
"Now we're even?"
