My Growing Heartache

Chapter 31: The (Other) Talk

"William, I feel fat." I tell him through the phone, pouting.

"You're not fat. You're beautiful. Ass and all." By the tone of his voice I could tell he was smiling.

"Shut up. I'm serious. We're working out next weekend."

"Hey, I'm telling the truth. And just because you feel fat doesn't mean that I do too." He said, obviously trying to push my buttons.

"But your supposed to support me, you ass. Look through your window." I say, walking over to mine. I see him walk over to his window and look at me. I flip him the bird and he says, "We've done that plenty of times my dear."

"Ughh. Whatever. Can you come over yet?"

"Ummm...yeah. I'm coming now. Bye."

"Bye." I hang up.

I walk downstairs and unlock the door then go back to my room. Whenever Williams parents go to work, he comes over. We've been doing this for a few weeks now since we're still on break from school.

I sit on my bed and play games on my phone, waiting for William to get upstairs.

"Wanna get subway?" I ask him when he walks into the room, looking up at him hopefully.

"Well hello to you too love. My day has been just fine." He jokes.

"Hey. That's great. Now do you wanna get some subway?" I ask again.

"Sure, come on."

After leaving my bed and running out of the room, i grab my keys and we get into his car and he drives off.

"Whats with your infatuation with Subway?" He asks, turning to look at me then looking back at the road.

"I don't know. I've just been craving it today."

"Kennise, are you pregnant?" He asks out of the blue, causing me to choke on air and look at him wide-eyed.

"Where the hell did that come from?" I ask.

"Well, you've been craving things for a while now and you've been pissing non-stop."

"1. I'm always craving food and 2. I have a bad bladder." I respond quickly, trying to avoid this topic.

"And you gaining weight?" He continued.

"I've been eating a lot and not working out anymore. Can we talk about this later?" I ask, getting out the car, slamming the door and marching into Subway.

I stood in line, waiting for this man to finish ordering his sandwich. He was literally getting everything that you could choose from. Just as I was about to order William walked in and I rolled my eyes, knowing that his stubborn ass isn't going to give this up and I'm going to have to tell him.

After ordering, I sit down at a table and start eating, waiting for William to finish his order.

"So. Are you not going to speak to me?" He asks, biting into his sandwich and looking at me.

"Are you going to keep badgering me?" I respond.

"Yes because I think you're pregnant."

"I can't be fucking pregnant William!" I whisper-yell.

"Why not?!" He whisper-yells back.

"Because..." I sigh, "...I got into a car accident when I was young and they did surgery. One of the side effects was infertility but I had no choice but to go into the surgery."

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry sweetheart... We're you ever going to tell me?"

"No...but that was only because I was hopeful that it wasn't true. But when we thought I was pregnant the first time and I wasn't, I kinda lost hope. That's why I was kinda bummed when that happened." I reply, tears welling up in my eyes.
