Behind The Storylines..

Chapter 8.

Ali's POV.

Damn, he didn't answer... I'd psyched myself up for this phone call for him not to answer. I opened our conversation on text and began writing out a message... 

< Ben, I really need to speak to you. Can we meet somewhere? Or, maybe you could come over.. maybe come with me to pick Dais up from school? xx A xx > 

No reply. Eugh! What do I do now?! I decided to head into the supermarket. Do some shopping, you know, take my mind off everything until he does decide to reply. I proceeded to get out the car, grab my bag, keys. everything I needed. Obviously. 

****

I was walking around the store and my phone buzzed... my heart started pounding and I couldn't think... I knew it was Ben, I didn't want to read the message... I almost didn't want to read his message even though I'd only asked him to come over that evening. 

<Of Course! What time should I come over? xxBxx> 

<I'll come and get you just before I pick Dais up if you like? xx A xx>

< Awsome! See you soon! xxBxx> 

I didn't expect him to say he would come round. I thought he'd say he was busy, or that he didn't want to see me after last night... I mean, nothing went wrong but I just had a bad feeling in the back of my mind. It was probably nothing, but, you never know.

I paid for my shopping, took it outside, got into the car and proceeded to text Ben.

< I'm on my way now! xx A xx> 

I began to drive and his text flashed up on my phone screen... 

<Great! See you soon! xxBxx>

I made my way to his house and beeped when I was outside... I probably should've got out the car and went to knock, but, I was being lazy.. 

He looked amazing! Well, as good as a man can.. 

'Hey' 

'Hi' I replied as he got into the car. 

'We're going to pick up Daisy then? Does she know i'm coming over?'  he laughed his melodic laugh and I began to smile as I drove.

'Yes, we're going to pick Dais up and no, she doesn't know you're coming round. But, I don't suppose it matters if she knows or not'  I answered, making sure to keep my eyes on the road at all times. ' although, I do need to tell you something, and I figured I may as well tell you now because then I don't have a nosy 7 year old asking questions' I looked over at him and he looked confused. 

'Right, so what is it? I'm slightly worried now' I could tell as his voice shook as he spoke. 

'Ok, here goes...... I think I might be pregnant... '

'Congratulations, but why are you telling me this?' He replied. I could hear even more confusion in his voice. 

' Because, Ben. It's yours' I kept my eyes on the road, not wanting to crash..
