3. A Piece Of Heaven

(Unedited)

"No it's not, I would've aborted if so" I protest
"I want a DNA test done" Thiko
"No I won't do that, I know who the father of my baby is I don't need a DNA test to prove that" I try to remain calm
"I can't fight with you looking this sexy, you are 4 months pregnant and you found out four weeks after we had sex. I don't need a DNA test to know you are pregnant with my baby but if that is the only way I can be part of this child's life then I will" he is serious
I am defeated "fine"

I hardly slept last night, I didn't know what to do. I don't want Thiko in my life that one I know. I scan him as he walks in the door, he doesn't sit.
"Why ain't you dressed up?" he asks
"It's not necessary" I say
"Why?" Thiko
"It's your baby" I say standing in front of him
He looks confused, surprised then his face lights.
"I'm doing just fine by myself, so please don't fight your way into our lives. When he's born we can talk about custody but now I don't want any stress or drama" I explain
"I don't want to co-parent..."
"Then what do you want?" I cut him off
"I want to be with you" he says
"This is not about you unfortunately, please leave" I sit down
I'm a bit emotional and he's still standing here.
"It's been four months, you said you'd call me and you never did. I waited for your call, when I found out I was pregnant I was scared and alone" I don't want to cry but it's too late now
"I don't know what to say" he's still stagnant
"I lied to my mother for months, Candy doesn't know we had sex. You made me feel so insecure because I fell for you like a child and you knew that..." He sits next to me and tries to hold my hand but I stand up
"Don't touch me" I command
"what do you want me to say?" He scratches his head but I'm not going to help him out
"I lied, I was never going to call you. It was just sex..."
I close my eyes and tears pour down my face
"You said you loved me..." I cry
"It was a moment, look Wanga..." he reaches out for my hand
I am so stupid, of course he would say crazy things like that during sex.
"I don't want to hate you, please leave me alone but first leave my house" I plead
He doesn't say anything but leave, I have this urge to cry so I do. I know there's no turning back but if it was possible I would change everything that led me to him. I'm so angry now realizing that he has types of girls he usually go for, I'm not his type.

She's been mute on me for days, I had to be here for us to talk. I hope she doesn't kill me.
"I am sorry for not telling you the truth, you made it clear that he was off limits..."
"Why didn't you respect that?" she asks
"I was stupid" I say
She looks down then back to me.
"Yeah you are, you both are stupid. You don't even know each other" Candy says
"I don't want him in my life..." she cuts me
"Of course you do, you don't have a plan plus it's his first child, he won't let you have it your way." she corrects
"He is just like you Candy, I don't want any drama" I say
"You should have thought about that before you slept with him. I didn't know I was dramatic" she says
I can't help but smile "No, you? Never" I wag my head
She laughs "You're still as sarcastic as ever

I'm woken up by a door bell, this sleeping beauty however is still in lala land.
"Babe, there's someone at the door" I say patting her shoulders
"Go and get the door" she directs me
"No I'm a guest here, I'd like to continue with my beauty sleep" I say
She looks at me angrily "You are not a true friend" she leaves the room
I'll think about what she just said in the morning, right now my baby needs to rest.

As I thought I overslept, well I'm on maternity leave so I woke up just on time to make tea and some omelet. Candy's apartment is way bigger and fancier than mine yet we have the same job. I feel like a hoe in this short lace night dress, like I'm here for booty call or something. I have this huge grin on my face as walk to the kitchen. Now that I think about it, I wonder what happened to Candy's dick appointment last night plus she said I'm not a true friend wow. I bend over to get the frying pan in the kitchen unit.
"Jesus!" He almost gave me a heartattack
He's just staring at me now, his eyes scans my body and of all places they stay on my breasts.
"What the heck are you doing here? I didn't hear you come in...how long have you been standing here?" You'd understand my panic if you were dressed like me.
He clears his throat before answering "I slept here"
"What, Candy!" I swear to God I'm going to kill her
She gets why I'm screaming so she's here.
"I thought you'd be gone by now" She's referring to him
"It's 6H30 AM, where am I supposed to go?" Thiko says
"I told you I wanted nothing to do with him and you bring him here? So he knew I was here and you didn't even warn me..." I'm overreacting
"You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you, Karen kicked him out so he didn't have anywhere to go" candy says
"Oh please, I'm sure some girl was available last night for you" I correct
There's silence, I hate silence. Why are they both quiet?
"Babe Karen is Thiko's fiancee" she says
Like daggers those words pierced through my heart, I look down then back at Candy.
"I'll get an uber" I say going outside
Why does this affect me, why does it hurt and please make me understand why I'm in tears wearing a lace nightdress outside waiting for an uber?
"Wanga..."
No no no
"Stay away from me" I command
He exhales "I really need..."
"I don't want to hate you so please leave me alone, don't say or do anything just disappear. I know you won't do it for me but please do it for the baby
He looks down in silence.
"Babe I'm not allowing you to go like this, please don't go " Candy holding my hand trying to convince me
"I'll leave" Thiko says getting back inside
"Please forgive me for this" Candy says
Thiko walks back but doesn't even look at my direction but pass,good choice.
