After Stacy realised what she had blurted out , her hands flew straight to her mouth and her eyes widened. Age could see her friends looking at her like she has grown a second head.
” Hehehehe Stacy? Who would have thought that you are so dominant? How come we never realised that? Ava asked playfully.
” I don’t remember exactly what happened after we arrived at the house, how could I know who was dominant?” Stacy asked, covering her face.
” What’s the deal then? Why is he trailing behind you like a pet?” Miranda questioned.
” Oh well, he insisted I take responsibility for sleeping with him.” Stacy said casually making Lucia spit the juice in her mouth. She coughed violently. She cursed Stacy for saying such things so openly.
” What?” That was Miranda and Ava’s response to her answer.
” You see? I was even shocked to hear those words. What’s worse is that it was his mother who insisted I take responsibility for robbing him of his virginity. You can’t believe how shocked I was but I could only accept it, I had no other choice.” Stacy said frustrated.
” His mother? You already met his mother?” Lucia asked after recovering from her fit.
” Yeah, his mother was one of the Head professors. She is a neurologist and my senior.” Her voice was dejected.
” Holy shit! Just how did you get yourself in this mess? Ava asked. She couldn’t help but wonder how the ever careful Stacy got herself in this situation. A man following her demanding she takes responsibility. Their story was the opposite of how it appears in the novels Ava has been reading. Isn’t it supposed to be the man offering to take responsibility after sleeping with the female lead? How did it turn out to be the girl taking responsibility? Just how fucked up was this mess her best friend found herself in? Ava wondered.
” Alcohol dear, just a single bottle messed everything up. My brain, my body and then it didn’t help that he was so hot and handsome standing by the roadside all alone. I am paying the price for a momentary pleasure.” She said,
” Oh well you can’t deny the fact that he’s hot and handsome. He’s quite a catch.” Ava said and giggled.
” What does he do for a living or he’ll become a live-in husband?” Lucia asked jokingly.
” Gab is a scientist and is well established in the research department. He spends most of his time researching.” Stacy replied with a hint of pride that even she didn’t notice but her friends caught it and looked at him with a knowing smile.
” What?” She asked but her face was so red that it seemed like blood would start oozing out from her tiny pores. ” Gab huh?” That was Ava. She couldn’t let go of this chance to tease her.
” You are already hooked up, aren’t you?” Lucia joined her Friend to tease Stacy while Miranda kept quiet, just watching them silently.
” What? No way!” Stacy said, seeming horrified by the idea. Her? Falling for Gabriel? He wasn’t the kind of man sfe ever wished to marry. ” Don’t fight it Stacy, it’s clear that you are in love.” Lucia said seriously.
” I second Stacy, you are already trapped by your one night stand boy.” Ava added.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
” What one stands? It’s no longer a one night stand, it’s everyday nowadays.” Stacy said and snorted. Since he presented himself to her on a silver platter, why not take whatever she wants from him. Wow! So our girl here knows the taste of this things huh!” Lucia teased.
” Hump! You talk like you don’t. When were you planning to tell us about your pregnancy?” Stacy retorted, silencing Lucia. This was what Lucia was dreadful of . How was she supposed to answer that now?
” This is not about me, it’s about you Stacy.” She tried diverting the attention back to Stacy but she knew her actions were futile.
” She’s right Lucia, were you planning on never telling us about it. I thought we were sisters?” Miranda asked and you could feel that she was hurt. Lucia assumed that that was exactly how the rest were feeling. ” It’s not that we are sisters but my situation is too complicated.” Lucia tried to explain.
” She’s right Lucia, were you planning on never telling us about it. I thought we were sisters?” Miranda asked and you could feel that she was hurt. Lucia assumed that that was exactly how the rest were feeling. ” It’s not that we are sisters but my situation is too complicated.” Lucia tried to explain.
” Irrespective of how complicated things were, you could have trusted us with anything. We took an oath to always be there for each other.” Ava added.
” Come on girls, don’t make me feel worse. The guilt has been gnawing at me but I can’t let people know that I am pregnant. My father will kill me if he ever finds out.” Lucia said, sniffing back her tears.
” So what that guy said was the truth after all? You wanted to end the life of an innocent creature just to avoid facing your father’s wrath?” Miranda asked, Lucia could feel the disappointment in her voice. She, herself was disappointed in her actions but what could she do? To her father, nothing mattered more than the family’s reputation. He would never allow anybody to ruin the reputation of the family he had tried to build for decades.
” Do you think I want to? It’s my baby so of course I want it to live and be born. I want to watch him grow up, take his first step, grow the first tooth, I want to see him laughing over silly things and kissing his cheeks goodnight. I want all that but reality is different. A baby born out of wedlock is considered an outcast. I don’t want my baby to grow up being called names left to right. I would never wish that for him.”
