I'm so flipping nervous about going to Dinah's parents' house today. Derrick wasn't drunk last night when I came home. I guess he knows he needs to sober up before we go to the Hansen house. He even tried to act nice to me. He wanted to watch a "Christmas Movie " with me and he made a me cup of hot chocolate.
HE.. MADE ME... Hot chocolate... with the tiny marshmallows too.
I think I fell into the twilight zone. Maybe I'm in one of those movies where I can have a re-do on life. We'll see how long this will last for.
After he went to bed, I had to call Dinah and tell her. I needed her to confirm that we weren't in some parallel universe. She told me we weren't, but was glad that everything was ok for now.
I put my hand over my stomach and I can't believe I'm pregnant. I only bought the test the other day, when I really realized that I missed my period. I googled the symptoms I was having and there in black and white it said I might be pregnant. So I got brave and bought a test.
Then when it said positive, i just remember falling to the floor. Scared out of my mind. I'm such a clique... 17 and pregnant.
I never in a million years thought Dinah would be happy. I mean did I think she would get mad and kick me out. No, not really. But, soon everyone will know about us. That's terrifying to me. Is it wrong I like our private bubble?
Maybe that nice dad I had around yesterday will be around when I tell him.
HA! Stop dreaming Normani.
So here I am standing outside of this huge mansion type house. Something I thought only existed in pictures. My stomach is in knots; I have no idea if it's the nerves or the pregnancy
Derrick rings the doorbell, and Gordon Hansen answers.
What no servants?
"Derrick , my man. Come inside. Merry Christmas. Mani, it's good to see you again." He smiles genuinely at me.
"It's good to see you too Mr.Hansen. Thank you for having us." I greet back.
"Yes, Gordon Thank you."
We enter the house and who I'm guessing is Mrs. Hansen greets us.
"Oh, it's so nice to see you again Derrick . How have you been?"
"I've been doing alright." He nods. "This is my daughter Normani."
"It's nice to meet you, Normani ." She gives me a hug and I'm taken aback by her friendliness.
"Nice to meet you to ma'am."
"Call me Malika sweetie."
"Malika."
