A Symbol Of Our Love

Chapter 2

Joy's Pov

" Oh my gosh! I can't do this!" I said my eyes filled with tears. My best friend and I were in a washroom in the restaurant we had gone to take our lunch from.

After visiting the chemist we agreed that we would first have lunch then proceed with our main business here. However, ever since the food was placed on my table I couldn't eat it. Scrap that shit! I hadn't been able to eat or sleep the whole week.I had called Vivian yesterday and told her of the fear that I had. I was clearly confused but she seemed to be in a better state than me because she suggested that we confirm my fears.

Vivian was actually very good
at handling this because she was the one who suggested we go to a chemist far away from home. She also took charge at the chemist and asked for the tests as if they were her own.

Right now I was looking at the three pregnancy tests in my hands tears falling free from my eyes. I didn't know how this happened. But then again I knew exactly how it happened. Enoch happened! He was the first boy who knocked me off my feet completely. I was very willing to take any risks for him.

I had always had a dream of being pure for my husband. I thought my husband would take away my virginity on my wedding night. It would sure as hell surprise him, whoever he would be, but it would also guarantee that he cherished me since he would know that I wasn't a whore. But all that had come tumbling down with Enoch!

We had been dating for the past four years and never once had we got intimate... more than a hug and a quick kiss, I hated making out so... but all that changed two months ago.

***
One of our mutual friends, Kevin was having a wedding and we were both in the matching squad. I wasn't even sure I knew the girl he was wedding but I would get to meet her on the day of rehearsals so... no worries. Everything starting from our clothes, to the cake, the wedding grounds and all were set. The only thing remaining was the rehearsals and the only problem we were facing was accommodation.

Most of us, I included lived far away so we couldn't make it to the rehearsals from home and back to the wedding. Ok, I didn't reside far, I just wanted to sleep in Enoch's house since Kevin had requested him to let some of us sleep at his house. I thought that since in our relationship we didn't do sleep overs to prevent temptations, I wouldn't let this chance pass. He seemed to be on the same train of thought with me since he allowed me sleep at his house and I think he knew pretty well where I lived wasn't far.

I was upbeat when he picked me up at my house at around midday. I thought I would go to his house at around six in the evening since all the others would arrive late at night but he had other plans for us. The uber guy would take us to his flats first to drop my little luggage then he said he would be taking me out to lunch.

The little date we had was fun but then it was cut short by us having to go for some grocery shopping to feed our guests. That's right, I was the hostess since I was his girlfriend so his house was my house... not exactly what the law said but its what he said.

By the time everyone arrived I was getting all worried about where they would sleep but with how exhausted I was feeling after preparing the food, I decided to let it slide until the time for sleeping came. I knew everybody that had come so I assumed that almost everybody that was from Kevin's side was sleeping here. Enoch had been so sweet as he helped me prepare the meals and even do the dirty dishes afterwards.

As tired as I was, I couldn't go to sleep until it was time for everyone to go to sleep so we would know where everyone was sleeping and I couldn't miss the stories and the chatter that was going around the room from having so many young people together in the same place. So much energy! I simply sat in between Enoch's legs on the floor and leaned into his chest since we all couldn't fit on the chairs and the couch.

The exhaustion from our date earlier and the cooking finally caught up with me and I started dozing off. I however suspect that as soon as Enoch caught onto it he cut the chatter in the room and told everyone we had to go to sleep. We had rehearsals very early the next morning and we had to do the final preparations for the wedding. Personally, my hair wasn't done.

I had no idea why Enoch had so many extra mattresses and blankets in his house but I figured he'd borrowed them. We were lucky that everyone seemed to fit after some much needed squeezing. Everybody fit except Enoch, his best friend Brian, my best friend Vivian and I.

"Alright! Glad nobody's sleeping on the outside corridor!" Enoch said and everyone laughed at that. "Goodnight!" he said and taking my hand in his led us out of the living room to his bedroom as everyone replied to his goodnight.

So we were sleeping in his bed together.

Holy cows!

And his best friend and my best friend who I had no idea were a couple until they just kissed were sleeping on the floor of his bedroom, together!

I, being the good girl that I always was, was worried about all these youth of mixed genders sleeping together like this. But that kind of thinking was for adults. We, the young just thought, we could handle it! We got manners! The fruits of the holy spirit, self control and despite the rumours on adolescence, we actually have a lot of control over our hormones. Hopefully all of that was true!

" Do you trust me?" Enoch whispered in my ears. I hoped my internal conflict on the morality of what we were doing wasn't so visible on the outside.

"Yes!" I whispered back a little bit too loud. I wasn't so good at whispering.

"I won't touch you I swear? Or should I put a Bible in the middle of the bed?" I laughed softly at that catching the attention of the other two lover birds getting ready to sleep on the floor.

"I trust you!" I replied.

And it was so for the first night but the second...?

"Positive!" Vivian's mind brought me back from my reverie. " All positive! Am sorry hun but you're pregnant!" she said and I couldn't help but sink to the ground.

Hello lovelies! Hope you doing nice!

I know that the mafia part isn't here yet but we coming onto that and the wait will be worthwhile.

A little insight though, how just how will Doctor Enoch get involved with the mafia? You'll just have to stay around and see for yourselves.

Love you xoxo
