NAUSEOUS

"I plead with you Andre you have to stay and talk to her, leaving will only make things worse please"Ms Julia insisted.

Andre glanced at her then towards Arianna. He nodded slowly, his mother smiled back at him.

"Why don't you get a shower, and freshen up"she smiled at him and left the room.

Andre sighed and wiped his face weak in his legs. How could it be, they only had sex twice, even though goggle said it's rare yet his heart won't stop beating as he thinks about what if it turns out to be true, he won't be like his dad ever!

A sound came from the bed, he turned and found Arianna up.

He rushed to her then paused as he wanted to touch her ,slowly he pulled his hand back.

Arianna stood at the same place after she noticed that movement from him.

"You…what were you thinking by going out without any guard by that time of the night, what if I never followed you…and drinking that much, you should have thought all this through".

He said softly.

Arianna didn't look up at him as he had expected of him but her face remained blank and expressionless.

She said nothing and walked towards the bathroom.

"I have a new brush, towel and bath soap placed in the restroom for you".

He said again, but got the same silent treatment.

Arianna entered the bathroom and closed the door after.

A heavy sigh released from his lips, Andre threw his weight on the bed, his heart racing. Should he go ahead and tell her about the plan of eloping with him ,but what of Alecia's baby? How can he abandon his own,if she is really pregnant.

Minutes later Arianna came out of the bathroom, at the same time Andre's mother walked in the room.

"Oh you are awake honey, how are you feeling?"

"A slight headache,"Arianna replied.

The response made Andre glad, at least she talked to his mother.

"As expected huh? You need to rest your mind and body before you return back home, maybe three days will be okay, we have everything here, food…"

"I can't, I am a married woman".

Arianna replied cutting in.

"Married?"

Ms Julia gasped in shock, she glanced at Andre but he was looking even more confused.

Arianna blinked then remembered she wasn't actually married but will be in five days time,she was engaged,the only marriage that was supposed to take place was that of her and Andre, it kept hunting her mind.

"Sorry..I was supposed to say engaged,"she replied slowly embarrassed.

Andre's mother smiled at her.

"It's okay honey,it happens sometimes. I made something special for you two, why don't you come over to the dining room and have a look".

"Will be there in a minute"Arianna replied.

Andre's mother smiled at her then gave Andre a secret wink before leaving the room.

*****At the dining room****

"So you are expecting a baby?"

Arianna said after the hours of silence.

Andre almost choked on his food, his mother felt pity for him. She must have overheard their conversation in the room.

"We only had sex twice".

Andre replied and immediately curse. Was that even necessary?

"I see"

Arianna smiled in pain, then she started playing with her food again.

She never thought he would even have sex with Alecia if he claimed that he was only acting the character role he was forced to.

"Well he is not sure yet, I will advise you to force Alicia or whatever to get a pregnancy test done honey".

His mother suggested trying to lessen the tension between them.

"I thought of that".

Andre replied softly.

"Why would you, she is your wife, it's not like it's unwanted"Arianna scoffed.

Andre and his mother exchanged glances.

He eyed Arianna then swallowed hard and gripped his spoon harder this time. His eyebrow twitching. Why is she making everything this difficult?

How can she be so self centered, haven't I tried enough. She is broken and what about me, do I look happy..have I ever smiled since that wedding was ruined. This night I never wanted her to get out of the hangover because I was scared of this. Can't she tell how much I fucking love her, how much I am fucking hurting inside.

"You are right"he snapped out, almost startling his mom and Arianna because it came out of nowhere then he dropped his spoon.

"Are you okay honey?"

His mother was concerned even though she could tell his reason for that.

"I'm good, mother. Thanks for the food, it's delicious".

He stood up,cast a cold glance towards Arianna then left the dining room.

Arianna stabbed her meat with her knife, tears clouding her eyes.

"You …. haven't touched your food yet, sweet".

Andre's mother was being extremely soft as she could be.

"Forgive me".

Arianna mumbled and took a spoon then another , before the third spoon ,she rushed to the washing sinc nearby to vomit.

"My God are you okay?"

Ms Julia snapped and ran to her.
