The Help

Uh oh

Bey

Kelly's been here for 3 days now and Boris should be back from his trip soon.

Shawn and I lay in bed together. "Can't we just lay like this forever" he asked stroking my arm.

"We would starve" I say. Shawn laughs.

"True" he kisses my lips. "And I would be late for work" he sat up and got off the bed.

I sat up to. "Yeah I guess so plus I have to check on Kelly". He starts putting his shirt on and I put on my robe.

He finally puts his pants on and fixed himself up. He walks towards me and pecks my lips.

"I'll see you later" he says.

"Okay Love you" I kiss him.

"Love you too" he responds. That's honestly the first time we said I love you to each other so casually like that.

"I really gotta go Now later " he says and walks down the hall.

"Later" I say and turn to walk towards Kelly's room. I open the door but she's not in there.

I walk up to the bathroom door and knock lightly. "Hey kells it's me, uh everything okay?" I ask.

"Uh Yeah I'll be out in a minute" she says. I could tell I had probably startled her.

I cross my arms and wait. I hear the toilet flush and the sink turn on. She opens the door.

"You okay you look a little flustered" I say Looking at her face. They were puffed up and as red as they could be.

"Yeah fine. I'm gonna go get something to eat I'm starving" She comments and walks pass me.

I step in the bathroom and shut the door. I take out the rubber band in my hair and set it on the counter. I look closely at the garbage can. Is that what I think it is.

I grab some toilet paper and pull it out of the trash. The test said it was positive.

That means Kelly's pregnant. Why would she hide it? I guess I'm gonna go find out.

I grab some clothes from my room and put a nice pair of jeans and a shirt on. I go back to the bathroom and get the pregnancy test.

I marched right into the kitchen with the test hidden behind my back and I leaned against the wall. Kelly was helping herself to some graham crackers.

"Hey" I say

"Hey" she keeps on eating.

"Is There something you would like to tell me" I ask

"Nope" she said simply.

"Nothing at all?"

"No" she said with attitude.

"So you don't wanna talk about the baby"

She looks up and gives me a look. She was like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Yeah I know" I say showing her the pregnancy test in my hand.

Kelly sighed heavily. "It doesn't even matter I'm not keeping it"

"What? Why not?" I ask taking a few steps towards her. She went to sit down at the table. I lean against the counter. "It's Boris's baby isn't it"

"Well" she started saying.

"What do you mean well" I ask getting really concerned.

"It was about week ago I met some guy named Tim Witherspoon at a bar while Boris was out of town. And we flirted a little and talked and we've sorta been seeing each other for a while"

I was stunned. Kelly cheating on Boris. That man loves her and he cares about her a lot.

"Kelly"

"I'm sorry it just happened and after Boris and I got in a fight and he pushed me down and-."

"Whoa whoa whoa, Boris did what to you?"

"The day before I came here he Uh he and I got in a fight and he got really angry and he pushed me on the ground"

"Okay So the question still stands did you sleep with Tim"

"Yes" she says not looking at me.

"How many times?" I ask.

"Only once" she answers quietly.

"Okay well uh we're gonna work this out okay, I don't know how but we will" I reassure her.

"Really?" She looks up at me with watery eyes.

"Yeah" I say.

"Thanks bey I love you" she stands up and hugs me.

"Yeah Love you too"
