When It's all over

BE MINE

Christian called as I laid in bed.

"Hey beautiful. Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah...I'm alright. Just need some rest."

"Okay well I've just sent a delivery man to deliver some soup to you. It'll make you feel better trust me."

Why was he acting like my boyfriend.

"Chris you didn't have to....but thank you."

I was afraid he wanted something like a relationship.
Which I was too afraid to go into.

"Are you coming to the party tonight?"

"The one at your family house? Yeah."

"Great. I'll see you there!"

"Cool. Later."

Fatima had already gone to school.
She was so excited for her first day.

I just prayed she wouldn't encounter any bad things like bullying....or boys taking advantage of her.

She was my only priority and I didn't want to fuck this one up so I had to guard her at all times.

I took a shower and wore my hoodie and sweatpants with flops to go to the supermarket.
We needed some groceries in the house.

As I entered the toiletry section I saw a pregnancy test kit.
I felt sceptical about buying it.
I picked 2 up and threw them into the basket.

When I came back home, I started cooking some spaghetti with chicken so Fatima could eat after school.

I stared at the pregnancy tests scared to take them.

I hid them underneath my bed till I was ready.

Finally Fatima walked in.

"Sis! I'm back."

"And how was your first day dear?"

"It was great! I made a friend."

"Oh what's her name... where is she from?"
I asked as I served her a plate of food.

"Mandisa. She's south African. "

"Oh...mhmm just be wise my sister. Friends can be very dangerous if you pick the wrong ones."

"Yes sis I'm careful....so are we going to Neo's party tonight? She told me about it."

"Well she's my best friend so I have to be there, and I can't leave you alone so we'll go together."

"Awesome! We need to look for outfits now!"

"Hey hey hey abeg eat your food and do homework first!"

"Yes sis."

**The party**

We got down from the car carrying coolers of drinks.
We were the first to arrive because we had to help Neo set up since she was the host.

Their family house was the same house Chris brought me to that night of the dinner.
I tried to make it look like it was my first time being there, to avoid Neo being suspicious.

After setting up the place we dressed up before people started arriving.

I had someone cover up my shift at the club.
I just had to be there to help Neo plan her party.

"Fatima this skirt you're wearing sef, is it not too short?" I asked

She wore a tight black leather skirt which brought out her pretty hourglass figure.
Physically, Fatima looked older than her age.
