"One night of pleasure, nine months of pain." that's what mama used to say.
"Never trust a man. The only thing you can trust, is a 'Trust' condom."
Well, I guess I can't blame her, since she got stuck with me that way.
Not that it helped.
They say I was my mom through and through, that we were literally two peas in a pod, even though she's eighteen years older at 32.
Well, at least I waited 'till I was eighteen.
But yeah... I guess I'm stuck in the same predicament, as I look at the result of the third stick I dipped in the tepid urine in the cup in my hand.
"Fuck." I hissed. "I shouldn't have gotten drunk!"
I threw the home pregnancy kit in the trash.
"Guess I'm gonna have to tell Charlie about it..."
I took my cellphone from the counter and dialed his number.
"Hello?"
"Charlie."
"Who's this?" he quickly asked.
"It's Leah."
"Oh, hold on for a sec." I heard him excuse himself. "Hey babe, how are you? I miss you so much, when can we meet up again?" he asked after a bit.
"I'm pregnant." I said straight out.
I thought he dropped the call.
I cursed and was about to turn my cellphone off when he spoke.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Five pregnancy test kits say I'm sure." I heard him swear.
"Look... as far as I know, I'm infertile! I mean, my wife and I have been trying for years..."
"You have a wife?!" I almost yelled at the phone. "What the hell, Charlie?! You said you were single!"
"Look, there must be some mistake, besides, we only did it that one night!"
"I know, and I even told you to use some rubber. You did use it, didn't you?" I waited for him to answer. "Well? Didn't you?!" I asked again.
"Well... It feels so much better without it so..."
"Fuck you Charlie! I knew it! So what the hell do we do now?!"
"Look, just relax, okay, babe?"
"Don't you fuckin' call me babe you lying bastard!"
"Just relax," he said again. "I promise, I'll take care of everything."
I didn't believe him at first. I was not really serious about him. I just wanted someone to spoil me, to buy me things and bring me to places I could never afford to go. I mean, he was 16 years older than me! Sure, he was fit, good looking, and as the manager of a well known five star restaurant, he was loaded too, but there are so many things I still want to do, so many other men I could fuck. I have no plans to settle down this early in the game.
