An Unexpected Gift

Chapter 12- 'The fucking audacity'

"What the fuck was she talking about!?" I spat. I was in full bitch mode, pacing back and forth in the hotel room. I couldn't help it! It was like I'd been thrown into the twilight zone. "Nas, are you ok in there?" My attention snapped to the door as Dominic cautiously entered. "Are you ok sweetie?" in my dizzying frenzy I couldn't help the snapback, "Leave me the fuck alone!"

I scrabbled to the closet and threw my soon-to-be well-packed bags on the bed. I rushed into the drawers and started hurling clothes on rapidly. "What are you doing?" Dom asked with a painful look on his face, "What does it look like? I'm packing! I should never have come here like this! Apparently, everyone knew about her carrying his child and didn't bother to mention it to me and then she believed she had the fucking audacity to say it here and now! I can't believe you knew and never mentioned it, if Patience and he had such a history I think I deserve the right to know!"

"Ahmm... Patience? Nas it was......" he stopped mid-sentence as we heard a knock on the door, "Oh my fucking God! Who is it?" there was a brief pause then a whisper was heard. "Kay k? It's me can I come in?" Lacy whispered "Whatever!" I grumbled. Lacy pushed the door and slowly entered, I was relieved to see that she was alone "Kay k? Can we talk?" she asked, "I don't wanna ruin your day any further Lacy go and enjoy your wedding reception at least what's left of it!" I spat in annoyance. "Why are you packing? You can't leave! I need you!" she started to cry, "You have your husband now, you'll be fine!"

"But Kay k it was an accident, it wasn't supposed to happen! I had just started college and he was really sweet, I never knew I was pregnant, we tried to get married but I didn't love him, I'm sorry!!" as she ranted and confessed, I stopped packing as my heart fell three thousand feet below normality, there now hung an obvious awkward stillness in the air, Did I just hear correctly? Did my sister just confess to being pregnant for my ex-fiance on her wedding day? So after all, it wasn't Patience it was my baby sister? "What did you just say?" I asked in astonishment, She fell at my feet in tears apologizing "I'm sorry".

I looked up at Dom square in his eyes in hurt to realize we were no longer alone. "Nastacijah dear, this is all a miss understanding" I watched and listened in disbelief as Mom entered casually while Demetri stood staring at me in the doorway. "What the fuck do you mean a MISUNDERSTANDING? What exactly is it I MISUNDERSTOOD? That everyone has been lying to me all this time or my sister was pregnant for the man I was been sleeping with? I was engaged to that psychopath, so what, everyone would've waited until I get married to tell me? What is it that I MISUNDERSTOOD?", "Nas calm down!", "Shut the fuck up, Dominic!" I spat bitterly. "Kay k I wanted to tell you but I couldn't you looked so happy! We couldn't ruin it for you." she sobbed in regret "And what about now?" I said as I flashed her off, grabbed my bags, and headed toward the door. "Nas I'm sorry", "Fuck you, Demetri!" I said with a smirk as I waited for him to move because he was blocking the doorway, "Why me? why fucking now? On your wed.... u know what!?" I took a deep exhale and made a step but before could be clear of the doorway Demetri grabbed my hand, it was smooth enough to be gentle but stern enough to get my attention.
I stopped immediately and then turned with a fiery look of disgust "Nastacijah I don't think you should leave like this, I think you should listen to what she had to say, your sister never deceived you" Demetri concluded but I couldn't help myself so I responded. "But you did" and then I walked out, headed down the corridors, down the elevator, and out of the hotel.
