All About Her

Chapter 25 : All About Her

Naomi

I giggled to myself in the creepiest way as I snuggled into the sheets, the blush shinning on my skin as I thought about Tabby and I's call.

I was so happy I stood up and made everything right between us, I was glad we were back and were being honest and open with each other. I felt relieved in a way, after telling him everything and apologizing.

I kicked the sheets, still smiling hard and being so childish over the butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't wait to see him.

'Hey, Naomi...' I turned to the door to find Mathew' s shadow.

'Yeah...,' I sat up turning on the lap next to me.

'Saya's crying in the bathroom and she won't open up or tell me what's wrong.' Mathew looked bothered.

'Oh God. Is she on her period?' I asked him.

'No. I don't think that's it.' He said making me stand up and follow him to the room.

'Bish, you better open up the door before I knock it down.' I spoke to Saya banging the bathroom door.

There was a short slience before we heard the door unlock signifying she had opened up.

'Stay here.' I told Mathew and all he did was nod.

I made my way in and closed the door behind me. I sighed deeply and clicked my tongue at the sight of Saya sitting on the cold marble tiles in her beige silk robe with a tissue box in her hand and a bunch of tissue papers all around her.

I dragged myself next to her and sat down just close enough to where I could sqeeuze her into a hug. Saya looked pale, her eyes were puffy and her face looked heated even from where I was I knew something hit her, cuz she wasn't the type to cry all the time.

'Naomi, I'm sorry for earlier.' She sniffled referring to the club.

'Its okay. Now, what's wrong?' I asked knowing damn well she wasn't crying about that.

'Promise me if I tell you, you won't run away from me or report me to the police or something...' She blew her nose.

'Oh please, stop being dramatic. What happened?' I rolled my eyes.

She gave me a serious look and a gave in.
'Fine fine. I promise.' I held a giggle.

'I think I just murdered a soul.'

'What?!' I almost yelled and bursted into laughter.

'I'm serious.' She said.

'How?' I quenched.

'So... this might sound crazy but - you know, back at the club I drank alcohol...,'

'Yeah so. Alcohol never kill nobody.' I shrugged not getting her point.

'Well, I haven't gotten my period for two weeks now, I've been vomiting everything I have ate and... look.' Saya rambled quickly and opened her robe for me to see her bare breast.
'Its been tender for way too long and looks weird.' Tears gathered.

'Wait... Are you saying you are pregnant?' I raised a brow at her my mouth agape.

'Was. I was.' She broke down again whinging loudly.

'Y'all good in there?' Mathew' s voice came.

'Yeah!' I shot back to him.

'I killed my baby, Naomi!' She blew her nose.

'Okay okay. Calm down... it doesn't mean you killed it, there just might be some risks...' I trailed tryna make her feel better by patting her back.

'Risks?' She looked at me.

'Yeah but first, we can't be sure of anything until we are sure that baby is in there.' I pointed to her stomach.

'You want us to go to the hospital? At this hour?' She looked at me like I was crazy.

'It ain't a crime and we don't have to. We can just take a test.' I told her.

'We need to get the pregnancy tester, I don't keep them just laying around here...' she shrugged sarcastically.

'Really? You dont? Well... you should start cuz I know you be fucking Mathew every second.' I scoffed at her.

'Bish!' She laughed.

'Ok, now calm down, wash your face and come out so we can tell Mathew to go get us the tester.' I helped her up.

'What! No! We cant!'

'Why not?' I gave her a scarastic look.

'Cuz what if he gets his hopes up and Im not actually pregnant.' She yelled a little then whispered.

'Bish - fine, I'll go get it from that pharmacy down.' I suggested.

'This late tho...,' she trailed.

'Its not even five minutes away plus I got my phone.' I told her.

'Fine, I'll be here... dont tell Mat anything' she warned with a pointed finger.

'Yes, mom.' I gnoared heading out.

'How is she?!' Mathew quickly approached.

'Shes fine. Just some.. girl issues...,' I sneered nervously.

'Oh.' He said and I could tell he wanted to ask what but was afraid I would hit him with the you wont understand.

'Yeah, so ima head to the pharamcy to get her... something to help.' I told him heading out to avoid any questions.

'Lemme go with you.' Mathew followed.

'No. I'll be aight, you just stay here and make sure she stay alive.' I told him wih a giggle to make him know I was joking.

I picked my purse,  phone and a little handy knief for in cases and headed out to help my friend in need.

Excitement bubbled in me as I thought of Saya actually being pregnant. How she would have her own child and be the happiest. I could only imagine how cute her and Mathew's kid would look like - just adorable. I would be an aunt, finally and that child's Mom will be too busy taking care of them to annoy me. I pictured her holding her baby and  of course I couldn't help but laugh like a psycho on the road at night,  alone at the thought of Saya in labour.

She would go crazy no doubt. And I was sure Mathew would at least get one slap or a big ass insult even if he just encouraged her.

I tried to not keep my hopes up but I couldnt help those happy thoughts.

Guess life was gonna look up after all.

Hopefully for long.
