My best friends stepmother.

chapter 25

Sunday, February 11th

Kgotso's assumptions about me being pregnant kind of rubbed me the wrong way so I am taking Mampho with me to the mall to get some pregnancy tests.

We come back and I do them in her ensuite. They are both positive.

Mpho: you are pregnant?
Me: yes.

I say with tears coming down my face. I know I'm happy but I'm also scare and a lot of thoughts are going trough my head. I am only in my second year, my parents are going to kill me. They still don't know about Kgotso too, Kgotso's mom hates me.

Mampho smiles but her smile doesn't seem genuine at all.

Me: you know what? I won't tell your dad that I'm actually pregnant until I tell my parents about us.
Mpho: how though? also, this thing says you're 6 weeks pregnant so the symptoms are going to be quite obvious too now.
Me: I'll figure it out. just act normal.

I take the pregnancy tests and run to my room where I place them in one of my purses. Kgotso walks in...

Kgotso: what are you doing?
Me: just looking for my lip liner.
Kgotso: what for?
Me: oh, just girl stuff. you won't understand.
Kgotso: right.

He says chuckling, he then continues going trough the documents in his hands.

Me: did you take your medication?
Kgotso: yes, baby. you don't have to worry about me.

He says placing the documents on the bed and walking closer to me. He gives me a kiss and I break it off quickly.

Me: I have to go speak to Boity.
Kgotso: can't the mommy duties wait?

He says trying to get closer again but I move away from him.

Me: no, they can't.
Kgotso: come on, she won't die.
Me: yes. yes, she will.
Kgotso: no, she won't.

This man? I just run away from him, he need to his hands to himself.

I run to Mampho's room and pull her out.

Me: we are going out, now. your dad...

I stop as I remember that I need to not overshare.

Me: nevermind, let's just go.
Kgotso: don't forget that she's allergic to nuts!

I had an allergic reaction to nuts last year and Kgotso honestly never forgets.
