Insatiable Desire

Chapter#22

"What did he say while I was gone?" Skylar asked while putting my seatbelt on.

"He. .he asked of my eating habits and also examined my throat and he did an X-Ray of my stomach." I spoke while my eyes caught attention of an ice cream truck.

Doctor Edwards had escorted me to the X-Ray room and just for keeping it real, he examined my stomach. He had told me that I should have an abortion via the medicines he had written. If it was late, I would have to go through an operation.
The thought was scary enough.

There was an odd silence for minutes.

"He said you were weak. I need to know, why?" He said stopping the car on a deserted road.

I. .I don't know." I said intimidated by him.

"I am warning you Ellanore, keep yourself fine and healthy. Eat on regular basis." He warned me.

I could only nod at him. What else? I looked at the medicines I was holding in my hands that would end our baby.

A few minutes later we stopped by a supermarket. I was to wait in the car. Skylar came with two big shopping bags and put them in the back.

He started the car and we drove into Novembers chilled breeze.

I leaned against the window and felt his hand on my arm, caressing the skin.

"I got you a little something." He gestured towards the shopping bags.

I reached back and found tonnes of
Ben & Jerry ice cream jars.

"Skylar!" I said excitedly.

He smirked slightly not taking his eyes off the road. I grabbed one of the carton and dug in using my fingers.

"You want some?" I asked with ice cream filled mouth.

He shook his head and accelerated the car.

Woah!

While I was enjoying my sweet treat, I saw Skylar's face near my mouth and he licked away the ice cream from the corner of my mouth. I was stunned.

You said you didn't want it.

He kissed the corner of my mouth and I blushed harlot red.

"I thought I'd try some." He said smiling boyishly at me.

Oh my Sky! He's being so playful and I love it! His playful mood is my favourite.

"Like it then?" I asked smiling at him and sticking my fingers in my mouth.

"No." He said holding my ice cream filled fingers out of my mouth. "I loved it." He said putting my fingers to his mouth and sucked the tips slowly.

"How did you know I wanted ice cream?" I asked randomly.

"You don't know how you eyed that ice cream truck. I know." He said looking at me playfully.

I smiled and continued to eat.

"I need to do it right now. No worries from now on then." I spoke to myself closing the door of my room. I held the pills for terminating the baby forever.

I was not attached to the baby inside me. Maybe not because I was scared of Skylar for the reaction. I reached out for the water in the glass and held the pills to my mouth and finally put them in my mouth.
I was this close to giving up on my first born. As soon as the thought of the "firstborn" kicked in, I spat the pills out of my mouth.

I can't end this. What if Skylar gives a different reaction. He has the complete right to decide the fate of this baby. After all he's the father.

"I will talk to him. Right now." I said putting  the glass shakily on the table and made my way to the lounge.

Skylar was sitting in the lounge talking on his phone. I quietly went and sat infront of him waiting for him to end the call and he watched me intently.
