Illicit Affair

22.

"This is amazing!" My mum smiled, hugging Laura. I just smiled nervously.

"I should get home" Laura said, separating. She handed me the pictures, "hold into them for me?" She said, glaring at me.

"Thank you" i whispered.

***

I really dont know what to do. I can't tell Derek because he isn't the dad. I can't speak to Laura about it because she thinks he is. No one knows.

The door was knocked, pulling me out of my thoughts. When I opened it, my heart was in my throat, "Simon"

"Why didn't you tell me?" He was drenched in rain.

"What are you talking about?" I asked confused.

"Is that why you left?" He asked.

"You need to tell me what you're talking about" i sighed, taking his hand.

"You should've told me, Adele" he said, refusing to move.

"Simon just come inside before you get sick" I said, pulling him in.

"I cant believe I let this happen" he sighed, now in the house.

"What have you done Si?" I asked, cupping his cheeks, making him look at me.

"I've lost you" he said, a tear slipping down his cheek.

"What are you talking about?" I sighed, wiping away the tear.

He took my hand from his cheek, "i know, Adele. I'm too late" he said, kissing my hand.

"Babe, you need to be more specific" I said, taking him over to the couch, "wait here. I'll be back with some coffee, okay?" I smiled, sadly.

What is he talking about? 'He knows. He lost me.' I was never his... or perhaps I'm always going to be his?

I walked back into the living room to see him fiddling with his own hands, "here, babe" i sighed, setting down the mug.

"Thank you" he whispered.

"So are you going to tell me what you're on about?" I asked, sipping my tea.

"The baby" he mumbled.

I instantly froze and my heart stopped, "the what?" I said acting oblivious.

"I heard you talking to Laura about it" he sighed.

"Simon" i sighed, being interrupted.

"I shouldn't have come" he said, standing up.

"Simon, im sorry" i said, following him to the door.

"You're clearly happy with Derek, im sorry to have come between that" he said.

"Don't say that" i said, taking his hand, "Don't blame yourself. Simon i dont love Derek."

"You're carrying his kid Adele. If that's not love i dont know what it is" he said, looking at the ground.

"A mistake. That's what it is Simon!" I began to shout, "Its not as if it's his anyway" I muttered under my breath.

"What?" He said, taking my chin.

"Nothing. Just forget" I said, pushing him off me.

"Laurie, i didn't come here to argue" he sighed.

"I'm not arguing with you Simon. I'll see you around" I replied, closing the door.
