Chapter 17.
I looked at him and was mesmerized with the intensity of his eyes, he blinked twice waking me from the trance, I then inhaled and exhaled.
"No, I was just being difficult, I think its the pregnancy" I said, and his shoulder slumps, like he's relieved, I don't want to make things difficult for him by telling him am in love with him.
"Alright, so what's for dinner" he said and I smiled, his quite the eater and I love it, go bath first you will eat when you're done, he agreed.
Am trembling, not because am in labour, am just 6 months gone, am trembling cause before me is Peter's parents and they're angry, the truth is out, the guilty look on Lydia's fave shows she's sorry.
"So you tricked us" His mother fumes, I cowered, I have no idea how they found out, Lydia promised not to tell them, they will just take Peter away with them leaving me alone, my parents don't care, the thought of Peter leaving made tears stream down.
"By the way where is my son" the dad asked.
"He went to his store" I said as quiet as I can, all the while they're here I've been facing the floor, I couldn't look at them, I occasionally look up to see Lydia.
"So he now work and you eat his money" the mom barked, it kills me she's right, I feel guilty for all this, but more guilty that I want Peter to swoop in and save the day. Am still on my thought when I saw the door open and Peter walked in.
I raised my head and our eyes met, I have never seen him this angry, his calm, but his eyes shows the storm behind it.
"What have you done to her" He said not even greeting them, he tore his eyes away from me and faced his parents.
"Where is your manners boy" his father barked
"I left it in your house" he replied, if the situation was different I would've laughed at his comeback.
"This girl have bewitched my daughter" his mother cried, shaking her head, I feel bad.
"You seduced Paul, and hold Peter responsible" she said pointing at me. I sulked, I have no idea what Lydia told them, but from the look on her face, am guessing it wasn't this.
"Mom, she didn't seduce him, he drugged her and you should be apologizing to her" Peter said shutting his mother up.
"Be it as it may, she shouldn't have hold you responsible" the father reasoned.
"True, but Paul gave a difficult ultimatum, and shouldn't you be glad am taking responsibility" he said and looked at me, a small smile tugging on his lips "before I met her, my life have no meaning no direction, I wake up everyday knowing how the day will end, but things are different with her" he said and giggle..
"He wakes me up at night just because she wants tea, she easily gets angry cause of her pregnancy, every waking moment I spent with her is a blessing" he said and I melt, I never knew he sees me like that, I thought am just a burden.
"She is a slut, not a blessing" her mother hissed.
"Mom, I won't let you say such about my woman" he said and my eyes widened, he said "my woman" what does that mean, am confused.
"If you're here to destroy my home which working so hard to build you should leave" he said confusing me the more, home, am I his home, Peter please be careful of what you say, you're about to give someone a heart attack.
"Don't think this is the end" the mother hissed at me and left with her husband dragging Lydia with them, but Lydia had the time to mouth sorry to me and I gave her an acknowledging nod.
"So, how come you're home" I asked.
"Lyd, sent me a text, I would've arrived before them but I got it late" he said and the storm in his eyes is calm.
"Thanks" I said as I started sobbing, I tried to quell it but couldn't, it turned a blown out crying, he rushed to me to console me.
"Its alright, they're gone now" he said wiping my tears.
"I know, just this pregnancy makes me behave like a baby" I said, he then smile and hugged me, I hugged him back, my stomach its making the hug a loose one, I want a tight one.
"Can you stay and not go back" I said, he chuckled.
"We can continue standing here hugging each other till our legs can stand again, or we can lie on the bed and I cuddle you" he said and I giggle even with the tears. He started cuddling me last week, I had malaria and was cold, I kept checking so he had to cuddle me, since that day, I make sure he always do that.
Some might say am taking advantage of a young boy with bright future, dragging him down with pregnancy that isn't his. A boy that doesnt even love me, he's with me because I make his life interesting and that he will never love me. I agree, but you see in this love am selfish, they're have been stories of selfless lovers, let me be a selfish lover as long as I get to cuddle with him.
