My secret baby with the movie star

How it ended

*Levi*

Upon opening my door the following morning, I am greeted by Joel. "Good morning, Joel. Give me a minute to get ready, and feel free to help yourself to some freshly brewed coffee in the kitchen," I tell him.

"Morning, Levi," he replies, making his way into the kitchen. When I join him five minutes later, he's comfortably seated at the breakfast counter, cradling a cup of coffee in his hands.

Pouring myself a cup, I stand in the kitchen, letting out a long sigh as I lean back against the counter.

Joel, catching the hint of my mood, arches an eyebrow and probes, "It wouldn’t happen to be Willa causing you to sigh like that, would it?"

Taking a sip of my coffee, I confess, not having had the best night's sleep, my thoughts preoccupied with Willa… pondering over our recent interaction and contemplating my next move. "Honestly, I don't know how to persuade her to go out with me. I'm scared she won’t even consider the idea," I admit.

"Alright, Levi, for me to offer any sort of advice, you're going to have to spill the beans on what went down between you two," Joel insists, and I nod, my mind rewinding to the sequence of events, ready to divulge the details.

15 years ago:

I wake up and realize I am alone in bed. I look at the alarm clock on the table, holy s**t, it is past 10 o'clock. I can't remember the last time I slept this late; I am usually a pretty early riser.

As I pull off the duvet to get up, I notice something: there is blood on the sheet, a fair amount actually, and I gasp slightly. Oh s**t, she had been a virgin? I had no idea.

I actually feel quite bad now. Had I known, I would have been much more careful. No, actually, had I known, I would have never had s*x with her, not like this, not this fast.

As I sneak out from her room, hoping that neither my mom nor Emma has been in my room looking for me, I think that I need to find Willa; I need to talk to her. I am not angry with her, but I would really have liked her to tell me that she was a virgin.

When I have had a quick shower and am dressed, I take the stairs two at a time, bouncing into the kitchen, no matter what, it had been absolutely wonderful, and I really hope she wants to see me again.

"Morning, mom," I say happily, knowing I am smiling from ear to ear, but luckily my mother would never guess why.

"Good morning, Levi. I thought you would never get up. You have got a guest here to see you," my mother says, sounding happy.

And that is when I see someone is sitting at the kitchen counter, her head turning, blonde hair swishing, and blue eyes looking at me. "Levi, darling, finally you are up."

"Julia? Uh, what are you doing here?" I am kind of shocked. I haven't told my family about Julia, and I haven't given her my address. Actually, I am kind of trying to tell her that we are not gonna see each other again and not gonna become serious. I don't want her here in my kitchen, I especially don't want Willa to come here and find her.

"I was in the area and thought I could give you a ride back to school," she says, smiling at me. She has her own car; I don't, and mom was going to drive me.

I groan internally; someone in school must have given her my address, probably Eddie. I am so gonna kick his ass for this. "Oh well, thank you. That was nice of you."

"Levi, you didn't tell me you have a girlfriend, and such a pretty one," my mom says, smiling happily. Julia has her wrapped around her little finger; she is good at that.

I don't have a chance to answer before Emma and Willa walk into the kitchen, and my mom says, "Girls, come here and say hello to Levi's girlfriend, Julia."

They both do a double-take; Emma glares at me, and Willa looks like she is fighting not to cry, and I feel like a big jerk, but I can't really explain to her. Not here, in the kitchen, in front of everyone. I need to get her alone.

Julia smiles at them. "Hi, girls. I am so happy to meet you. Levi has told me so much about his family that I feel like I know all of you."

Back to present time:

"So you deflowered her and the next morning your girlfriend showed up? Now I get why she thinks you're a jerk," Joel shakes his head at me.

I swallow the last of my coffee, putting down the mug. "I didn't know Julia would show up. I broke it off with her on the way back to school, even though we were never even exclusive… but I didn't have a chance to talk to Willa before leaving, to explain. Julia clung to me, and Willa avoided me."

"And you never got to rectify it?" Joel empties out his mug too and puts it down. I take both mugs, putting them in the sink.

I grab my coat and my keys. "No, I had a lot to do the first couple of days, and I didn't really want to do it over the phone. Then my mom called to say that Willa's mother had passed away, and she went back home."

"But your mother, she must have had her information. Couldn't she give you her number or address?" Joel is looking at me as we walk to the car.

I run a hand through my hair. "I thought the same. I couldn't go to the funeral. I had an important audition that day, but I thought, you know… that she would come back to my mom's, or it would be easy to find her, but she just disappeared."

"Disappeared how?" Joel asks as he pulls his car out from the curb. I sink down in the passenger seat, looking out the window.

I shake my head slowly. "When I came home for the holiday, I asked Emma and ended up admitting what had happened. Willa hadn't told her; Emma almost kicked my ass."

Joel chuckles.

"But she talked to Mom for me, saying she would like to keep in contact with Willa. But she had left; the only thing my mom was told was that she went to live with family somewhere up north, but she left no contact information," I say, wondering if I was the reason she fled back then.
