"Lazy girl, it's Sunday morning... aren't you going to church?" He said in a very low voice as he planted light kisses all over my face.

"I miss you so much, Chris" that's all I said and it's true, I hugged him.

We were in that position when Nancy barged in, she isn't in her cheerful mood and she held a toothbrush "Mum is calling you, brother" 

She was almost out of my room when she said another thing, "are you two going to make a baby because my teacher said that when a boy and a girl hugs each other, they are going to make a baby" 

That one choked me, I fell on my bed and threw the sheets over my face, I'm tired of this girl!

"Hey! That teacher is the best liar of our time, common, let's go outside and please, do me a favor" Chris was saying as she took her out with him.

"What?" She asked arrogantly.

"Don't tell anyone about this, I promise to take you to see Father Christmas in December and I will buy you cheese balls" Chris was trying to talk Nancy out of broadcasting a boy and a girl hugging.

This little girl will put me into big trouble one day.

I ran out of bed, freshened up and ran downstairs to see if everyone was ready for church but I saw a different scene.

"Mrs Paulina, please calm down let's settle this amicably" My uncle was saying in his usual calm and collected voice.

"Settle amicably?! Did you just say settle amicably, there's nothing to settle other than your son taking responsibility for what he has done to my daughter!" A woman retorted.

I went to stand beside my aunt and I helped her hold Nancy who was trying to get her attention but she's too withdrawn and she looked really sad.

My uncle was seated and Chris stood behind him, his eyes had been on me from the time I was coming down the stairs. I noticed that but I wanted to know exactly what's going on first before paying attention to him.

It was when I glanced at the woman who was still ranting about Chris taking responsibility that I noticed the girl that came to look for Chris on Tuesday standing behind her.

She was in tears and I didn't need to think to see that the woman is her mother, they looked alike and were all dressed up in expensive clothes.

"Chris, are you responsible for the pregnancy?" My uncle asked, looking at Chris and my heart sank.

Pregnancy?!

Chris?!!

No way!!! It can't be true.

I looked up slowly at him and he was still looking at me, maybe he's trying to relate a message to me but I didn't understand as he kept dimming his eyes at me.

So, this is it? I should have known...

I suddenly felt depressed and I had to force myself not to cry because my heart ached.

"Chris! I'm talking to you!!" My uncle shouted when he didn't respond, he simply kept looking at me as if I'm the person that's supposed to answer for him.

I didn't understand his behavior at all but I don't think I need an explanation to know what's happening.

"He doesn't have to answer that! Weren't you guys here when he stays away from home each weekend only to come take my daughter out every night?!" The woman fused once again.

That one somersaulted my heart and it fell so hard and broke into a thousand pieces, am I not foolish? I believed everything that came out of his mouth.
