FATE

59 - News!!!

I sigh in exasperation when my phone rings for the fourth time in a row. I knew who was calling so I didn't bother to look and I hung up on him.

He called again and I hung up on him.

"Wow!" Nancy scoffed, swaying her wig.
"How long are you gonna keep playing stupid games. Hurting yourself and the one you love." She glared at me intensely, and I looked away.

"Nawa oo. Lilly when are you going to tell him? He deserves to know." Tessa added, rocking my dressing chair.

"Abi! The earlier the better." Nancy agreed in utmost seriousness

"So we'll know if he'll marry you!" Tessa rolled her eyes playfully giving me a daring look.

I hissed loudly and Tessa chuckled.

She's always talking in the nonsense!

"I'm scared." I confess.

Nancy moves her eye from left to right before she looked at me in raw confusion.

"Why?"

I look down to my feet, and then my toe nail that was coated in white paint, before I looked back at Nancy who was patiently waiting for an answer.

I feel anxiety building up inside me as I rub my palms, staring at Nancy I'm fear.

"Wait, no! Are you thinking that?" She touches my shoulders.

I give her a shy look. "He wouldn't do that. He loves you and can't reject his child from you. Look, I've seen this giy countless times and he's responsible. He's From a good family too."

Feeling uneasy, I rubbed my temples before I looked up again.

"You don't get it." I disagree, sofly.

"Make us." Tessa crossed her legs looking at me desperately.

I licked my lips slowly, pressed it together and rubbed my palms.

"Sometime ago when we were talking, he said he doesn't want to have kids. We were saying something and..." I stopped, you know that statement kinda hurt me. I had to hold back my tears, clutching my chest tightly.

Nancy squeezed my shoulders reassuringly, until I looked at her.

"It's okay." She told me and I nodded.

"You know he can't mean that shit, does he even know what he is saying?"

I let a single tear drop, and I wiped it.

"How are we gomma raise this kid?" I asked, tears filling my eyes.

"Well, that's for you and him to decide."
Nancy points to my phone which was ringing.

I smiled dryly when I looked at it and I turned back to my friends.

"I wanna tell him, I wanna do it now." I meant that, my mind was made up.

With the help of adrenaline, I picked up the call and placed it on speaker.

"Hey." My voice was low, too low.

"Hey! Babe! Where have you been? I came to look for you, I called, I missed you!" Lemuel finished and I bit the corner of my lip, closing my eyes slightly, then a tear fell.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay. What did I do wrong this time? Tell me why you ghosted I'm willing to make amends."

"We need to talk."

"Yeah we do. In fact, you need to come downstairs because I'm waiting."

"Yh." I answered and hung up.
