"Call me when you're done" Jermaine said as he kissed me gently. "I will" I said before getting in Tang and making my way to Mo. We settled down as we waited for the waitress so I can order a virgin strawberry daiquiri. "How are you feeling?" She asked me as she moved closer to me. "I'm better, I'm definitely better" I said thinking of how I've been this whole week.
The waitress took in my order and left because we weren't sure what we want to eat. "So you're really keeping it?" She asked not knowing how to ask. "I don't know, I don't have the courage to get rid or give it away, I wouldn't forgive myself, I don't even think Jermaine would let me." I said and she nodded as she took a sip of her wine. "Whatever decision you make, I'll be here to support you," she said.
"So tell me about your adventures with Jermaine, how is he?" she asked and I chuckled. "The sex must've been fire for you to get pregnant!" Mo said. "From that phone call we had when I told you about him, we had sex in his office. That was our first time. We made it a rule that we won't have direct contact at school, even though everyone minds their business, there could be one person looking so we just don't risk it."I said before my drink arrived and I could sip on it.
"Mhm, this tastes good. We started texting and he took me to Flames for our first date and it went well. The second date, we went to the movies and the arcade and the third date was a simple sunset picnic. He is such a romantic, for each date he gets me flowers and afterwards, you know what we'd do." I said looking away with a smile and she playfully pushed me. "That's so nice best! Where was your dad when all of this happened? What about your mom?" She asked covering her mouth.
"My dad has been in and out the country, when he does see the flowers he doesn't think much of it. My mom on the other hand? She's been asking me why I've been occupied and I just keep telling her books. When she finds out I'm pregnant, that'll be the day she beats me up like she used to." I said laughing and my best friend tried to stop me.
"I wanna know how you got pregnant" she said and my stomach filled with butterflies, I took a sip of my drink and had mini flashback of every good encounter. "Remember the day I told you I'm not home?" She nodded her head. "I was at Jermaine's house, at first I went there to confront him about our situation, we didn't talk for a week cause I was mad at him. Next thing we're fucking and literally fucking, balls deep, hands tied, everything. I decided to sleep over and when I woke up, he asked me to his girlfriend." I pointed at the ring I'm wearing and she gasped.
"Oh my gosh bestie that's so cute! He is so cute for that! He is such a gentleman!" She said as she held my hand and looked at my ring with awe. "When Jhene Aiko said "but I lasted 10 rounds like a freak, like a G" that was me, and this is all happening raw." I added. She looked at me in shock. "He just does it right best! He knows how to please me bestie." I said. "I can believe that! What happened next?" She asked. "His baby mama pulled up, started banging on the bedroom door because it was locked and stuff, she wanted him to go back home." I said before the waitress interrupted us.
"You're not threatened by the fact that you're his second baby mama? It doesn't bother you?" She asked and I laughed. "What do you think I've been crying for? Best I've been crying because I'm too young for this, my freedom is lost, my family dynamics are going to get even more complicated. I'm a child with a child, my baby daddy is 7 years older than me and he's my lecture. He has a crazy baby mama and I've had sex with his brother. I'm going to be a mother, that's crazy enough. Those are the things I've been crying about. It's just not a cute look. I'm pregnant with his child just to not end up with him forever, I don't want that!" I said feeling emotional again.
"And the hormones" she added as she hugged me. "You'll be fine best friend, believe me, I'm here" she said. "Have you thought about how you're gonna work this out?" She asked me. "No, I have 9 months to think about that. I don't know how I'm going to tell my parents, or maybe I won't" I shrugged and she looked at me like I was crazy. "Don't do that. You're gonna shock them at 9 months?" She asked me. "I know if I go to my mom she's gonna see it somehow. You know how Tswana moms are." I say.
We sat in that restaurant, chatting about my pregnancy and my life, we didn't even talk about her life. "What's happening with you? You're not acting like you live alone in Cape Town. How's life?" I asked and she sighed. "Everything is good, I'm just living a free life without parents. I met someone actually." She said and my eyes grew big with interest. "Oh my, who is it?" I said excitedly and she shook her head.
"I can't reveal his identity yet but just know I'm happy and he treats me well." She simply said and I scrunched my face. "You tell me everything, why wouldn't you want to tell me about this man?" I asked as food came. "I'm not sure about him and I want to keep him private" she said and I grew suspicious. "Okay bestie, I'm not gonna force you to do something you don't wanna do" I said as I looked at her suspiciously, why wouldn't she want to tell me.
A few hours passed and it was time to go. I took several trips to the bathroom because I drank 2 strawberry daiquiri mocktails. Mo was wine drunk and she was ready to see her mystery man. Apparently he's around. "Your dad isn't home?" She asked and I nodded. "I just spoke to Lwandle and she says no one's home because she went out with her man" I said to Mo as I saw Jermaine's car pull up.
"Sit inside while you call and Uber then" I said to her, we insisted to drop her off but because she's trying to keep this man a secret we couldn't. "Hey baby" Jermaine said as he spanked me gently and kissed me. "Hey" I said with a smile. He opened the door for me and I got inside, I could smell a female's perfume and I instantly scrunched my face.
"The driver is at the drop-off zone" Mo said and we drove there. I got out of the car to hug her, I asked for her location or her trip details and she sent them. She said bye to Jermaine and I hopped in the car once I saw her get into the Uber.
"Who was in this car?" I ask Jermaine and she scrunched his face with fake confusion.
