Sleepless In South Carolina

Untitled Part 16

I sit on my bed and think of all the possibilities when I tell him. I feel a deep growl in my belly I must be hungry. I go to the fridge and get a jar of mayonnaise and some Oreos out of the cupboard. I start dipping the cookies in the mayonnaise without thinking. It actually tastes good. I can't ever let anyone see me eat this though. Once I eat about 10 cookies I decide to call my sister to tell her the news. She answers on the second ring. "Wow haven't seen this number across my phone screen in a while." She says sarcastically. "Very funny, I have some news to tell you." I say. "What would that be El." She says. "I'm pregnant." I say. She gasps. "Little miss El is preggo huh?" She says. "Yes, yes she is." I say laughing. "Well congratulations whose is it?" She asks. "Bray's." Aw it's going to be a beautiful baby thanks to him of course." She says laughing. "Well I look like you so at least your words can't hurt too much." I say. "Well it was nice talking to you and hearing the news love but I must get back to work." She says. "No problem and okay sis love you." I say. "Love you to El." She says. We hang up. If I can tell mom and sis Bray will be a piece of cake. It's almost time to go to the movies so I better get ready. I head to my closet and try to wear something baggy so you can't see my stomach. I put on a black blouse that buttons up and my tight  white jeans. I look in the mirror. I decide to put light makeup on. By the time I'm done I hear Braylen knocking. I open the door. "Hey sweet thang'" He says. "Hi babe." I say. "Ready to go?" He says. "Of course." I say. When we get there there's a long line of people getting tickets. "Karma you wanted to see that right babe?" Braylen asks. "Yes." I say. Once we finally get to the counter the woman smiles at me. "When are you due?" She asks. I almost fall on the ground. "Due for what." I say playing dumbfounded. "Excuse me that was very rude to say to my girlfriend." Braylen says. "It's okay Bray, can we just get two tickets to Karma?" I ask. "Sure sorry to assume that I just have this feeling when I met a pregnant person." She says. "Oh it's fine." I say. We take our tickets and go.
