others in the room, and quickly shot up covering myself with a blanket. “Can you get out?” Everyone just stared for a minute, before Vin made a growling noise and then they quickly left.
He laughed and pulled me into his embrace until I fell asleep.
I woke up when my alarm went off and stretched out feeling for Vincent, but he wasn’t there.
I felt a note next to me and quickly read it:
Hey baby,
Sorry, I didn’t stay. I have some things to work on. Just know what happened between us meant everything to me. I’ll call you later. I know we just met, but please do not doubt me.
-Vin
I was dumbfounded with this letter. What did he mean by don’t doubt him?
That made me worry right there.
Weeks went by and I found myself throwing up. I spoke to Vin on the phone a few times, but with his training schedule we could never meet up again. I felt like he was pulling away from me; I mean we’re not even a couple, but he says all the right things to make you think we are. I don’t mention the sickness I’ve been feeling, because I’m too scared of what he might say or think. It had been more than a month since I saw him in the papers; I didn’t even realize how popular he was until a couple of weeks ago.
With those thoughts on my mind, I didn’t even see Cadence come into the room.
“Fuck this, we told you to watch out for that fucker, BUT NO you had to fuck him, right?” she angrily says to me. I can seriously tell that she’s pissed right now, but behind that I can see the disappointment.
I flinched at her voice and looked the other way.
Cadence then went to the bathroom; I knew what she would find, but didn’t care to tell her to stop.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!!!” she screamed so loud I thought I may have to call Chris Brown. LOL, get it? Maybe not.
“I’m pregnant,” I told Cadence in a small voice. I didn’t want her to be mad. I was already mad at myself. I felt a pop; I could have stopped it. Shit, I could have even gotten on birth control. But, No I wanted to be independent and live for just a moment with Vin. My mind should have told me to pay attention that mistakes could happen. But, since it didn’t here I am, in this situation with my own self to blame.
Cadence didn’t want to hear me, but she did see all the different tests sitting on the counter, I mean, come on! I bought like thirteen of them. Yes, maybe I over did it, but all I kept remembering was Vin saying “You’re pregnant already.” Those are not words of comfort that you want to hear.
So here we are sitting at the clinic on campus. I should be in my Psychology class right now, but no, I was dragged here just to make sure. “So now I know why you have been mopping around the room for the past month.” Cadence thinks she knows what’s really been on my mind, but this is just the icing on the cake.
“We told you not to get involved with him! But, you didn’t listen, now look at what’s happened! I cannot believe you were so stupid!” She is basically yelling at me, and I couldn’t care less. I miss Vincent too much to care. How? Why me? After one time with him, I’m pregnant. I haven’t even been away from home a whole 2 months, and here I am. With no Vin, and a best friend/roommate that’s pissed at me.
“Look, it wasn’t my first time ever for goodness sakes. Plus, we used a condom. I didn’t know this would happen. You don’t think I’ve seen Vin in those magazines with Carmen? It hurts to know he wanted me to trust him, and this is what happens.” I’m basically crying at this point, damn hormones.
“Ohh, Taleah. Why? I mean I know he’s sex on a stick, but really? You just gave away all that for free?” HA! I know it’s not funny, but I giggle anyways. I mean whose life turns out like mine? I was basically a one night stand. Fucking lip tattoo. Yep! That’s what I’m blaming this whole situation on.
“What lip tattoo?” Shit, I really need to keep my thoughts to
