The continuous sound of my phone wakes me up. I groan, picking up my pillow and using it to cover my ears. It didn't stop.
I reach for it when it didn't stop ringing. I pick up and place it on my ears.
"Hello?" I say, feeling a bit sleepy. I'm already dosing off when the person speaks. The sleep clears from my eyes, and I sit up. "Jane?"
"Hey Karen."
"Oh my goodness, Jane, you're calling me, what a pleasant surprise." I say sarcastically. I am annoyed at my best friend. She been ignoring my calls for over a week. It breaks my heart.
She snorts, "I know you ain't excited. Where are you?"
"Home. Why?"

Peterās hand rested softly on mine over the gear lever, his thumb brushing slow circles that seemed to echo the rhythm of our hearts.The city rolled past our windowācars, people, the occasional honkāand yet, inside the car, it was like we existed in a different world.I turned slightly, studying his face. There was something new in his expression todayāmore tenderness, but also something deep in his eyes, something that looked a lot like fear.āAre you okay, Peter?ā I asked quietly.He smiled faintly but didnāt answer right away. āYeah⦠I just keep thinking how much you mean to me, Kar. You and the baby. Sometimes I still canāt believe I have this.āI felt my throat tighten. āYou have it, Peter. You have us.āHe looked at me then, his gaze full of unspoken gratitude, and lifted my hand to his lips. The soft warmth of his kiss lingered even as we pulled into
Karen Donnaš For a week now, things had very very sweet between Peter and I, he calls me every now and then to check on our unborn baby, what about chatting and video calls? He won't let an hour go without getting in touch with me. I love the way things were going between us, Peter was God sent to my life. Even the day I slept over in his house, the next day, Peter and I went on a date before he drove me back to Elizabeth's place; we had been all lovey dovey since then. That was how everything had been between us, and, this weekend would be especially sweeter because Peter would be coming over today, he's coming to officially meet mum.

I'm gonna take Karen to my home and let my family see that I now have a beautiful girlfriend and a serious relationship, ND an unborn baby. I wanted my family to see that I truly changed and I am in love, especially mum and Annie, they tease me too much, they say I am not capable of loving anyone because I am a jerk.

Not seeing her beautiful face hurts me. I'm used to her around. I feel bad that i couldn't do anything about it. She had left without a goodbye.I'm glad everything is back to normal."I can't find my lipgloss." Karen whines as she comes out of the bathroom. She's wearing my shirt that stops just at her thighs.

I whine, moving away from her.Dylan chuckles behind me. I didn't know he was standing there until now. "So much drama for being pregnant."
