Bastard [2]

Demi sat at the back seat in the Deep-Red coloured Range Rover that was taking her and Nina out.

They had decided to go into town to visit one of Nina's old friends who lived in the city.

Nina couldn't stop talking to Demi, from where she sat next to her, about everything. Demi assumed the young girl was probably always lonely back in Spain so she listened to her talk out of pity.

"Last year, father got me a white pony for my half-birthday" she said, while giving Demi a download of all the presents she had gotten in this life.

Demi thought about the corset her mother got her for her last birthday. 'Nothing compared to a pony' she thought.

But then again, who celebrates half-birthdays?

Nina described her Twenty-seven year old horse riding teacher and trainer, Alexandro.

"He's so perfect! He has blue eyes, freckles on his cheeks and these tiny cute dimples under his chin when he smiles."

Demi thought she sounded like a young school girl. Contrary to what her first impressions were, Nina seemed pretty innocent.

"So you like him then?" Demi asked coyly. If she was going to endure listening to the girls stories, at least she'd focus on squeezing out the juicy ones.

"Like him?" Nina asked quite surprised before giving out a strained laugh.

She moved in to whisper into Demi's ears so their escorts wouldn't hear a word.

"We've been hooking up for nearly a year now. In fact, that's why I'm in Scotland."

Demi was shocked. She quickly took back the nice thoughts she had of Nina being innocent.

Soon enough, the car came to a halt in front of what looked to be like an abandoned farm house.

Nina and Demi got down as Nina gave strict instructions to her guards in Spanish not to come with them. At least that was what Demi thought, considering the fact that she didn't speak any atom of Spanish. But, she was willing to trust this acquainted stranger with her life. For the moment at least.

They began to walk slowly to the back of the house through a path that was lined with weeds and thorns.

Demi just had to ask, "Can't this your Alexandro friend afford a hotel? I mean, why pick this place to meet up? Why am I even here?"

Her sudden outburst made Nina to stop in her heels. She turned to look at the naïve dark girl behind her.

"I'm not here to see Alexandro. I'm here to see another person."

"So you're cheating on him?" Demi asked confused.

"Ugh no! Eres es stùpido." Nina replied rolling her eyes.

"I'm pregnant. And I'm here to get rid of it" she spoke, pointing at her belly as she said the word it.

Demi opened her mouth wide.

This girl had been surprising her all morning, dropping all sorts of breaking news and secrets that were probably never meant to be revealed for centuries.

Now, the girl trusted Demi with her secret by taking her along to get an abortion.

This day couldn't get any bigger, she thought.
