Desiree's POV
When I found out that the fear that I was pregnant was true, it shook my world. I'm not sure how I'll deal with it, but all I can think about is the fact that I'm carrying a baby in my womb.
My sister was holding me and saying things to me that I didn't understand because I was stunned and my nerves and all of my sensations clashed because I am like that. I feel like I need to keep this from Alexander because I am terrified of his shocked expression or how he will react to this kind of situation.
I sat in the corner and began to think of what else I may need to do now? The tears on my eyes began to roll down over my cheeks, I'm happy that I am going to have a baby. Yes, a good gene like him is what I need but I am not sure if Alexander will need someone like me to bear his own child. Oh damn,I can make this baby alive and raise him without a father if…if his father may not want him or her.
"It's all right... Don't be upset; everything will be fine. You don't have to be worried; I believe Alexander will know of the wonderful news sooner or later, and you must be prepared." Patricia stated, Her voice is attempting to calm me down, and she repeated it in a soothing tone to make me feel better during these difficult times.
I keep walking slowly, and my sister is right by me, holding my arm as we walk through the streets together; all I can do is stare at the empty space in my head. "I need to devise a plan; I won't tell him right now because I know the situation with the George case is too difficult, and I don't want everyone to know about my pregnancy since things could grow worse."
"That's OK. I understand, and you don't have to worry about it right now; you can trust me. We are both sisters and friends... Even if we have a tumultuous history, I will always stand by your side."
"I am happy to know that…Thank you so much. Even to mom, don't tell her. You need to promise me."
"Yes...I will not mention this to mum, even if you were a harsh sister to me at times," Patricia sighs. I touch her shoulder and she delivers a nice chuckle, and we just laugh together. It just so happens that we've both grown up and are now able to comprehend each other, so there's no longer any competition just like before.
We arrived at our parents' house and, as we told our mother before we left, we stopped by a shopping mall to buy some baby items. We only bought white clothes because we don't know what the gender of my sister's baby will be, but she is going for an ultrasound next month to find out, and she is very excited and happy about it as the due date approaches.
"I have to go now..." I said as I walked out of the house,
"Oh yeah, I can't wake them, they're sleeping now; we just arrived so late, so it's time to rest for the time being." Patricia mumbled slowly.
I exhaled and fixed my hair, "Yes, so good night and remember to keep your mouth shut." I said as I glared at her.
I sighed, and as I was ready to walk back to the street, I noticed an oncoming car, so I came to a halt because Alexander was approaching. I looked at my wristwatch and saw that it was already 11:32 p.m. What brings him here? Is he on the street looking for me?
"What are you doing here?" I ask him as he get out of his car with a bored expression on his face.
"Where have you been and you are not even answering your phone, what happens to you?" He asked.
I take a deep breath and fold my arms, "can we talk this on the other day? I am tired and it's already midnight, I can't talk to you right now."
He rubbed his temple and sniffed his frustrated temper, "get in, I will take you to your apartment." He said calmly.
I bit my lower lip and smiled at him sarcastically, "okay, thanks for the offer…"
"I changed my mind, you will be sleeping in my flat tonight."
I rolled my eyes because I didn't have any choice but to say yes to him and agreed with him on everything so that I could take a rest and take care of myself.
"Alright…I will sleep there." I said and he opened the door to me calmly. I can smell his sweet and nice perfume that engulfed my nose. "Stop smelling, Desiree. I know that I always smell good." He said.
"I am not smelling you, you idiot." I said and my nose flare in anger.
He let out a small laugh, "I am just teasing you…but you need to explain to me tomorrow."
"I am not explaining to you everything. I don't owe you an explanation, so?"
"But you need to tell me."
"Okay, fine…tomorrow." I feel nervous but I am not telling him the truth yet, I am not ready for his reaction.
"So how is George's case?" I change the topic and he clears his throat in annoyance. He just drove without talking to me.
"Why are you so quiet?"
"Because I am mad, you ask about George and you don't ask how my day went? I think you will never care for me." He loosen the grip on his neck tie and sigh.
My forehead puckered and I locked my gaze to his eyes. "I care for you…"
"Okay fine."
"Yes you may not feel it but I really care for you…"
"Oh damn, I need to pull over to kiss you." He said.
