It Is What It Is

Chapter 26

Ayesha

I woke up in bed. I was just about to give Marvin a kiss but then I remembered. I wasn't at home. I sighed and forced myself to get out of bed. The flat was quiet, so Chennai was probably asleep or something. I went to bed quite early as well.

I walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower. I stepped in. I didn't care if the water was icy cold because, tbh I felt like utter pure shit. How could he do me like that? Then the way he was like 'It was Mistake', 'I was drunk', made me get even angrier. He was acting as if that was a good reason for the sin he committed!

Fuck that shit, man.

I finally came out of the shower, I smelt of strawberry and cream. I brushed my teeth quickly and gargled with Listerine. I walked to the guest bedroom but paused. There was that mother fucking son of a bitch. Marvin.

"Ayesha listen please hear me out" he dropped to his knees. His eyes were red and he had bags under his eyes. He looked different. JUST a day and he looked like a zombie.

"Let me at least get changed" I said and walked into the bedroom. I could feel my eyesight become blurry due to the tears. I closed my eyes and plopped down onto the bed. I didn't know I was crying that loud because, Marvin came in and hugged me. I could feel my towel getting loose. I pushed him off of me .

I got up and creamed myself. I slipped on a matching bra and panty. I put on a white tee and boyfriend jeans. I also pulled out my blue and white adidas slip on and socks and put them on. I took off my head rag, brushed and gelled my hair into a ponytail. I sighed and sat next to Marvin.

"Talk" I said in a blank tone, looking at the white walls.

"Ayesha..I-I, I don't know. I'm going crazy. I haven't slept at all, I only had a few cups of coffee. I can't sleep eat or nothing, knowing you're not at home" he started crying. My eyes started to water.

"Something doesn't feel right though" he sniffed, "I mean..I had sex with Tulila but...then again the baby probably isn't mine. Because, it was threesome. Me and my friend Jaydon. I think I only fucked her once and the rest she just sucked me off".

I kept silent, not taking my gaze off the wall.

"Ayesha?" he shook me. I shrugged him off, he sighed.

"At least come with me to the hospital to get a paternity test. Tulila is gonna meet us there" he said. I nodded. I slipped off my slip ons and placed on my blue vans. I knocked on Chennai's door, she opened it looking hot and bothered.

"Hey b, what's wrong?" she asked. There was someone in her bed.

"I'm going to the hospital to get a paternity test with Marvin, I may or may not be back so don't wait up, bye che che" I kissed her cheek and we did our little hand shake and I walked off. Marvin opened the door for me to his car.

"Are you alright?" he asked as we stopped at the traffic lights. I nodded and continued to look out of the windows. It was a sunny day and I was wearing shades. The world was so much prettier, in this sepia view.

We finally pulled up to the hospital. I didn't bother to wait for Marvin to open the door, so I opened it anyways. We walked inside and saw Tulila holding a small baby. I looked away and sat down. They both walked into the room with the baby. It took only about 10 - 15 minutes. They both came out.

Marvin grabbed my hands and looked me in the eye.

"Tomorrow, we're gonna find out if I'm the father. Ayesha, please don't leave me if the baby is mine" he started to cry, "I just can't do it ..on my own". I sighed and pulled him into a hug, shushing him. He was such a big baby.

We walked to the car and I drove us back to our house. I missed the vanilla scent of our house. The natural slump of our couches. It was only a day and I was already homesick.

"Marvin, what we gonna do if the baby is yours?" I asked sitting down on the stairs. He sighed.

"I don't even know... Shit man" he sighed, covering his face with his hands.

"Ayesha?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you". I didn't reply.

I walked to the sitting room and turned on the tv .

Next day

I woke up in bed in my pyjama top and my panties. I turned over and Marvin was sleeping. I frowned, he was meant to be sleeping on the sofa.

"You awake bae?" he muttered in his sexy morning voice.

"Yes" I said in a dull tone. I got up and washed. When I finished my hygiene ish, I put on a simple shift dress and my fluffy slippers. I glanced up at the clock and saw it was 12 pm. I made some scrambled eggs, fried bacon and roasted some croissants. Marvin came down looking back to normal.

"Finally food!" he drooled as he grabbed a plate and went straight to eating.

"Don't we need to go to the hospital?" I asked him.

"Yea we do, lemme just get my tracksuit jumper and then we can get going" he told me. I nodded and walked into the bedroom. I grabbed my pointy white shoes and grabbed my black and white cat shaped sunglasses.

"Ready?" Marvin asked. I nodded . We walked to the Audi and got in. He drove us to the hospital.

"Ready?" I asked him as we entered the building. He nodded and went down the corridors and I waited for him. He came back, a frown on his face.

"What..what did it say!?" I half yelled half whispered. He face broke into a grin.

"I'm not the father" he handed me the sheet and I looked at it. I started dancing and then I hugged him.

"No but wait" he got down on one knee and pulled out my engagement ring.

"Ayesha, I'm sorry for all I've done. Seriously...like. You don't deserve what I did to you. But, you know that I will never do this to you again. But, I just wanna know. Will you marry me..again?" he said smiling. I nodded and smiled. People were clapping and taking videos. When he slipped the ring on my fingers, he stood up and gave me a big bear hug. He looked down and kissed me.

"Lets go" I grabbed his hand and we walked out.
