FORBIDDEN LOVE

Guest

It was wonderful morning, Charley went to work, Jayden was taken by a baby-sitter (very nice old woman Mrs. Funny, she loved Jay like her own grandson), but for me, it was a day off and I could stay in bed till the noon. I was in a good mood and nobody could spoil it, but anyway two people managed with it easily. I woke up, checked my mails, took a book to read. It was "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCullough. Then, I got up, took a shower listening Domenico Modugno "Volare". After, I prepared breakfast, it was three sausages, black olives and cherry. I had drunk tea with chocolate and I had to watch something interesting, suddenly the door bell rang and I came to open. 

When I opened the door, I saw a girl who I had already known. It was Georgia who loved Charley and I was so jealous. I thought that it had been everything in past. But.....The destiny had planned a new challenge for my happy time of my life. Georgia looked exhausted and tired. Her belly was quite big, I felt that soon I would have a big problem.

"Hello, Kimberley! Could I talk to you a few minutes?" - Georgia was a bit nervous and fumbled her grey dress.

"Hello, Georgia. Yes, sure. You can come in." - I tried to be polite and not to be aggressive. If Charley was at home, he wouldn't let her into our house.

She came in, looked around, it seemed she was surprised of our cosy house. She had a yellow bag which she grabbed so tightly. 

"You can remain your things here and follow me." - I was keeping my calmness. 

We went to the kitchen and I offered to her: "Maybe, you wanna some drinks?" - The weather was so hot and she was slow and clumsy like a penguin.

"Yes, please. Water!" - She sat on the chair and tried not to look at me.

I gave her a glass of fresh water and asked: "So, you wanna talk, don't you?" - She gave me a sign. Her eyes couldn't find a place. 

"Yes, I wanna say to you, no...I...I...How could I say?" - She was like a wounded beast.

"Don't be so scared, tell me everything what you want, I don't kill you." - I tried to cheer the atmosphere in the air up.

"Please, Kimberly. Forgive me, please. And forgive Charley, please. We did it, but we didn't know how." - She started to cry and her speech became unclear. I began to search the tissues. 

"Maybe, you wanna drink something better than water, for example, whiskey!" - She shook her head saying to me "no". "Oh, yes. Sorry. I don't think about it. You are pregnant."

"Yes, it's Charley's child!" - She said it so fast and cried louder than before.

"I've guessed!" - My tone was cold.

"How?" - The tears choke her. 

"You didn't come here if it was false." - I opened the cupboard and took a bottle of whiskey.

"I beg you, dear Kimberley, please. Take a baby. I know you wanna have a baby." - She touched my hand with bottle. 

"Come on. You can cope with it yourself, and we have already had a child. He is a nice boy. He looks like Charley."  - My face was admired when I was speaking about my precious son. 

"No, I can't live for a long time. I will die. I have a problem with my health and I have no money, no job. My father doesn't want to see me." 

"What were you thinking about when you was in one bad with my husband?" - One glass of whiskey in one gulp activated my brain.

"We were under drugs, we didn't remember that night. Sorry. I'm so sorry. But, please. I ask you, no, I beg you, please!" - She stood up, ran to me, grabbed my home dress and stood on her knees. 

"Please, don't do it. You are waiting for a baby. Stand up! Ok, I promise, I'll think about it and I must discuss it with Charley."

Suddenly, I heard my son's voice. He was running into the kitchen with a soldier in his small hand. He was so happy, his brown eyes were perfect. He saw us, I was with bottle of alcohol, Georgia was on the floor crying, and my lovely son stoped still. Georgia looked at him and he looked at her. Something was happening between them, but I didn't understand what exactly. He moved to her and hugged her, touched her hair and said: "Miss, why are you crying? Who offended you? My dad is big and strong. I'll say to him and he will punish your enemy."

Georgia kissed his cheek and said: "Listen to your mum, darling. She loves you so much, remember it. You are a miracle, my son." Having said this, she went out taking her unshaped bag.

My heart was on fire. I was ready to escape, break up with Charley, take my son and go away. But it was alcohol in my blood, so I decided to wait for Charley and throw a fit.
