Pregnant By The Playboy

43 RIVER

I laid in bed feeling refreshed. I was a little tired, but I was happy. I buried my face in the clean sheets, breathing in the fragrance of the expensive laundry detergent, as I slowly drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, my stomach churned, making me run into the bathroom quickly, to empty the contents of my stomach into the toilet.

This had been my ritual for the past few weeks. I hated it. I wanted it to stop. But this time, Ilay was there gently patting my back, trying to help me feel better. When I was done, he helped me up and walked me back to the bedroom.

I took a sit on the bed. He handed me a glass of warm water. "Do you feel better?". He asked as I slowly sipped the water. I nodded. "Yeah. Much better". I replied.

"You look....pale. Does this happen everyday?". He asked in a concerned tone.

I looked up at him. "Yes. Everyday for the past two weeks or so". I said. He looked at me apologetically.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this". He said softly.

I smiled at him. He leaned down and kissed me. "We'll go through this together - I promise". He said "Go get ready and come down for breakfast". He said before leaving quietly.

His words and actions made my heart flutter.

I finished the glass of water and went to the bathroom for a shower. I flinched as my reflection came into view in front of the mirror in the bathroom. My whole body was covered in hickeys from last night.

I blushed hard. Last night was really intense. I fanned my face with my hands and quickly brushed my teeth. I quickly conditioned my hair and took a warm shower, which helped rejuvenate me.

On getting to the bedroom, I thought hard about what to wear as I blow dried my hair. A pair of lose baggy jeans caught my eye. I paired it with a pastel pink sweater and white Nikes. My jeans felt a bit tighter, as I pulled them up. Guess I'd have to go shopping again soon.

I wore silver earrings and a pendant necklace, and a silver charm bracelet. I applied little lip gloss on my lips and hurried downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning, bonita". Patricia greeted as I got downstairs. I smiled at her. "Morning, Patricia". Mr Stone and Ilay were already seated at the table. "Good morning, Mr Stone, morning Ilay". I greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning River. You're looking bright this morning. I can guess that means Ilay has been taking good care of you". Mr Stone said.

I blushed hard. "Y-Yes we....Ilay has been really nice to me". I found myself stuttering. I bit my lip in embarrassment. Thankfully Mr Stone changed the subject, and Patricia served breakfast.

"That's good. I've been very busy working on a new project, so I haven't been around much. How are your studies going?". Mr Stone asked as I stuffed my face with noodles and veggies.

I quickly chewed the food in my mouth. "Ah....it's been great! I just need to study harder for the exams. They're two months away from now". I replied.

He nodded. "Okay. Rest is important. Don't forget to make time to rest". He instructed. I nodded, as I continued to wolf down the food.

Ilay ate silently as his father and I chatted heartily while having breakfast. After breakfast, Ilay and I walked to the parking lot together. He pulled open the car door for me. I got in and smiled gently at him. He smiled back.

He got in the drivers seat and held my hand gently as he started the engine. "If you need help with your exams you can ask....me". He said softly.

I nodded. "Don't worry I've been studying. I'll be fine". I told him. As we drove to the hospital, his phone started ringing. I saw the caller ID. It was Bianca. I frowned wondering who Bianca was.

Ilay squeezed my hand gently. "Don't worry. She's no one important. Just my... fiancé". He said, as if reading my mind. I felt all the strength leave my body and a shiver run down my spine.

"Of course. I'm so stupid. How could I forget about his fiancé! Meagan did say he was engaged to a girl from a powerful family. I was busy enjoying this sweet and caring side of Ilay, and wishing it'd last forever, but he already belongs to someone else. I can't believe I had sex with him again last night". I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my lip.

I quickly pulled my hand out of his grip. He looked at me with a frown. "What's wrong?". He asked. I shook my head, and turned to look out the window.
