"I know it's a lot to take in but you're the father, Stephen. I didn't see my period since I had sex with you. I'm sure of it."
"What? what the hell are you saying? Fine, it was just one night. So? This is not the first time we have had sex unprotected. Why now? Are you sure you are not making this all up?" He whispered.
"No, we can run some test if you think I'm lying?" She convinced.
"Oh god, what am I going to do now? I just got back with Sharon. Who else knows about this?" Stephen asked, pacing around.
"My friend."
"Okay, let this matter die down for a while. I don't know what I should do. Please don't tell anyone else. Can you do that for me?" Stephen pleaded.
"I'll try."
"Thank you. You have to leave now before she wakes up." Stephen opens the door for her to leave.
"Okay."
"Oh god! What have I done?" I said, leaning on the door.
"This is just the beginning Stephen." Patricia says before entering her car. "You're going to regret leaving me."
************
I went into my room and saw Sharon busy on her phone.
"Have you been awake?" Stephen asked, feeling a little troubled that she overheard everything."
"No." I replied.
"You should be resting." Stephen sat on the bed.
"I know. I got a text from my dad. He's asking if I'm still coming for dinner."
"Who in Particular? You have two dads." He asked.
"Patricia's."
"Oh.. so are you going?" He asked.
"Yeah, can you come with me. I know it's a lot to ask but I don't want to feel alone," I say.
"I can't believe you're asking. Of course i would. When?" Stephen asked.
"Tomorrow. We can leave after class. We will come back home to change."
Her mentioning 'home' makes me feel like we are finally back together.
"Oh, some of my clothes are in Aaron's house." She looked bothered.
"You don't have to go to his place. You can buy a new dress." Stephen convinced me.
"I know. I actually want to go to his place to punch him really hard." I laughed.
"Are you serious?" He asked.
"Yeah, I really want to do that. I owe you a punch too but it it's in the past now." I grinned.
"Does that mean you have forgiven me?" Stephen asked curiously.
"Yes. Promise me you will never hurt me again." I said but Stephen didn't reply.
"I'm pregnant." Those words flashed back. I don't want to hurt Sharon ever again.
"Stephen, Stephen!" I called repeatedly.
"Oh..." He answered.
"I said, promise me you will never hurt me again.
"I...." he was left speechless.
I woke up feeling so relieved on a monday morning. It's been long I've felt this way, epecially with Stephen. I was kinda tired of getting up from bed. It's been a tough month though. I looked at my right side, seeing breakfast next to me and Stephen watching me closely. Smiles escaped my cheeks. He's such a darling!
"Morning," He said, smiling.
"Stephen, c'mon. I told you to stop doing this. You make me feel lazy."
"I like it that way. It's not like you don't like it or if you don't let me go dispose it." He takes the Sandwich he placed on the bed.
"Wait, i didn't mean that. Bring it back! I'm so famished right now." I said, strectching my hands.
"I thought you would keep acting. Be fast about it, we're late for class." He said, leaving the room.
"I will." I said, with my mouthful.
**************
I went to take my bathe after eating, brushed my teeth and did other neccessary things in a haste. I remembered I left some of my clothes in his house so I wore one of it.
Stephen opened the door quietly. I sensed that he had been watching me.
"You ready?" He asked, dangling the keys in his hands.
"Yeah." I sighed. I took my bag and we left.
************
Lecture was boring as usual. I looked around but couldn't find who I was looking for. No one else but Aaron. That asshole! Where the hell is he?
"I told you to forget about him." Stephen whispered closely to my ear. He noticed how I had looking around.
"What?" I panicked. "What are you talking about?" I denied. Gosh! He caught me in the act."
"Aaron. I guess he was such a dick to show up. C'mon let's go home. You don't wanna be late." He said, grabbing my hands.
"Stephen, I need to see him. I know you said I should stay away from him but I just want to face him. Ask him why he did what he did." I pleaded.
"Girls." He groaned, knowing I wouldn't still listen. "I'm coming with then no buts."
"Okay but it's between us. You will wait in the car. I say.
"Uh...uh...i'll try."
"Deal." I said.
Aaron's POV
"Dude, pass me the drink." His friend ordered, almost drunk.
"Here," Aaron gave it to him. "Ryan, you need to get hold of self. You're drunk."
"Who cares? Pass me the cigarette too. Wait a sec, what are about that chick?" Ryan asked. "I don't see her around."
****************
Sharon's
I got out of the car and gave Stephen an eye contact to not come out because I know him. He's quite stubborn.
"Fine." He said, rolling his eyes.
I opened the door gently, and peeped inside. He was getting drunk with his friends. I waited to hear what they were saying before entering. Ryan was asking about me.
"What chick? You know I got a lot." Aaron replied. Wow, so I was basically just a spare tool. Nice.
"That girl, Sharon right? The one you fucked in the video. Thought she was your babe. I don't see her." He said, lighting a cigarette.
