Wife of fortune

Chapter 22

"Good morning" Janes cheerful voice says as I walk in the kitchen. "I made coffee feel free to pour yourself some too" she says and I don't turn her down.

"Thank you" I say and go to the fridge to get myself milk to pour in the coffee and as I open the carton box and pour it, it makes me nauseous thinking about it. So I end up putting the milk back and pouring the coffee down the drain.

"So have you had time to think about Puerto Rico?" She asks and at first I don't know what she means and then she says "I want to join you on your trip to Puerto Rico, Gray didn't tell you?"

I sit down and just eat a toast that's been prepared by the chefs "yes he mentioned it" I say and swallow a piece thinking of how to put it.

"I would just love to spend some more time with Gray, he's been so busy these days, I've hardly talked to him, we used to have so much in common" she says and sips on her coffee.

"Like what?" I ask curious to know what they have in common.

"Our family's share the same values, we both like poker, he also doesn't want kids like me and when we were little we even had made a secret code to talk to each other when we used to stay at our grandparents during summer" she says the smile never leaving her face and I kinda want to smack it off her face.

"Honestly I don't think it's a good idea for you to come with us" I say and the smile on her face disappears.

"Why's that?" She asks.

"You wouldn't get much time to spend with him there either" I say and she leans her head to the side and asks "why do you think that?"

"Because he'd be occupied with me" I say and stand up from the table and leave her speechless in kitchen.

As I walk to the living room Malika catches up to me and asks for me to take her to the store so I quickly get dressed and we take the car and go to the closest grocery store.

"I think I left my cup somewhere in one of our vacation homes so this morning when my period started I realised I had no tampons or pads" she says as we're looking for the women's section in the store.

"You could've asked me for some" I say as we turn the corner and end up at the woman's isle.

"I know but I thought I just go and get myself a new cup" she says as she browses are the me atrial cups available and I look at the large assortment.

My eyes go to the pregnancy test shelf and then my brain starts to think. When did I have my last period? Was it this month?

"I think I'm gonna take this one, we can go" Malika says bringing me out of my thoughts and I go to take a few tests and Malika looks at me.

"Kate" she says and I look at hear full panic mode setting inside of me "you can't be, can you?"

"I don't know" I say and then she doesn't ask any more questions and we go to check out. We don't even bother to get home we go inside the woman's bathroom in the grocery store and I rip open the box.

"When was your last period?" She asks.

"I don't know, last month maybe? My period is irregular since I first got it, it's normal for me to sometimes not have it for months" I say and rip open the test and go inside a cabin and pee on the test.

I walk back out and put the test on the sink and wash my arms.

"My boobs been sore for like a week and I just thought it's my period coming" I say to her as we wait, these are the longest 3 minutes of my life.

"Weren't you careful?" She asks.

All the times we've had sex run through my head and I try to remember if we used a condom or not and I can't remember, I was always so carefree with him I trusted for him to do it.
