chapter twenty six. amor de cine.
Willa stares at Althea and Augustine. "So..." Willa says scratching the back of her head. "Baku..." she trails off.
"I know." Augustine says massaging her temples. "It was... something."
Althea glances at the two. "Hey Willa, why weren't you at this race...?"
Willa squirms uncomfortably. "So..."
"So...?" Althea asks with a quirk of a brow. "Are you pregnant..?"
That causes Augustine to choke. "Willa's pregnant?" she asks.
"No! This isn't about me!" Willa shot back defensively. "Augustine, you never filled us in on what happened with you and Max."
Althea's eyes lit up. "Yeah you didn't tell us!"
Augustine rolls her eyes. "I saw him in Holland during the break." she says softly. "We talked..." she shrugs.
"And...?" Willa prompts.
"And nothing. It's over and done with." Augustine says.
"Liar!" Althea whispers and glances at Willa, "I saw them in the parking lot of the airport." she hums. "It was gross."
"Like you and George are any better!" Augustine shot back.
"Yeah but we don't do that in public!" Althea says with a gentle shrug. "How's my niece?" Althea asks glancing at Willa.
"She's not your niece." Willa corrects.
"She is now." Althea says and peeks at the playpen in the corner. "You know, considering she came out of your vagina, I would think she'd look more like you."
