Jake’s POV
I jerked on the bed when I heard my phone vibrating on the table. I reach my hands out to get it but it suddenly stops ring. I try to stand up but I can feel my head banging hard.
Where was I?
I tried to readjust my sleepy eyes and scan my environment. What happened yesterday? Just then, I heard a snort from someone
I looked behind and there is a lady wrapped careless around the duvet at the end of the bed. Her curly wavy hair scattered over her face.
Now, I remember flashbacks from last night. But then why had I acted so carelessly. I felt utterly embarrassed because I had always composed myself in every situation.
Yes, I wanted to let loose last night. But not to the extent of having s*x with a woman and that’s the problem. I had always detested the sight of this gender especially after my ordeal with Victoria.
But how exactly was I able to fall this woman. I must admit she looked beautiful but I had definitely seen more beautiful women.
I could remember how beautiful she looked last night.
“Oh my God, I think I am going crazy” I say running my hands roughly through my head.
“It must have been the mojito I drank. Get yourself together Jake. These ladies are all gold diggers, all they want is your money,” I say to myself.
I needed to leave this place before she wakes up. I quickly get myself dressed while picking up all my stuffs that were scattered on every part of the room trying not to wake her up.
I was finally set to leave the room. Just as I was about to leave, I decide to take one last look at her. I walked forward to side where she laid.
She looked so innocent yet within her, I could imagine how vicious she could be. That’s typical of women. I couldn’t explain why I was drawn to her. But I wouldn’t allow myself fall for the charms of a lady again.
I took out a wad of cash and threw it on the bed.
I was about to walk out when I noticed the bloodstain on the bed. It seems like she was a virgin. Then why did she let him have s*x with her. Yesterday it seemed he was not in control of himself. What if she had planned to seduce him? What kind of woman at this age loses her virginity to just any man?
I felt I just had to leave there. This was the first time I had been attracted to any woman after being heartbroken by Victoria, my ex-wife. But I can’t let myself fall for any woman ever again.
With that, I left the room not wanting to ever come in contact with this lady ever again. She smells trouble for me.
I immediately call George after I left the room and funny enough. I needed to get ready for a wedding, one that I hadn’t taken serious up until now.
I really feel like such a bad friend and cousin to George. I needed to make amends and focus on the marriage today. I had to comport myself as usual and go back to the Jake I used to be before all of this.
I would find solace after I eventually track down the nanny who was supposed to bring Katie back home from school that day. I had been so engrossed in my misery that I had forgotten all about that. For today, I was a best man to my cousin, Georgio and I also have a detest for ladies, the girl from last night inclusive.

Sophia’s POV
4 weeks later
“Sophia, I think you need to go to the hospital. You don’t look well to me and you have been acting weirdly lately,” Amy tells me as she comes out of the kitchen.
She had been in the kitchen making breakfast but then I felt irritated by the smell of bacon and rushed to the toilet to vomit.
I walked back tiredly to the living room after washing up to lay on the couch.
“Why did you throw up again, you do this every morning for the past one week,” she says softly as she comes to dab my forehead with the wet towel she had brought.
I was too weak to talk. I just laid still while she dabs my forehead. It made me feel a bit better.
“I think you are running fever. You have to go the hospital today,” Amy says in a commanding tone.
I think she was right. Its best I find out what the problem is. I had moved to stay with Amy ever since that day I found out about my sister and fiancée. The wedding was called off. I never knew it was that difficult to explain this kind of news to people you had earlier invited. Still it had to be done and I also didn’t resume at the job I had gotten.
I couldn’t meet up with the date I needed to resume because I was heartbroken and was emotionally unstable. I was able to get over it after a while. But now I am sick.
“Maybe it’s post-heartbreak illness,” I reasoned.
I and Amy finally got to the hospital and we did the necessary test with the nurses. I had to wait in line for the doctor to call me in.
Finally, it was my turn. I had to walk in alone to see the doctor while Amy waited outside. I knocked on the door and entered. I was happy this part of the room didn’t smell awful with drugs filling the air. That was how it smelt in the room I entered for the test with the nurses.
This doctor looked to be in her mid-40’s. She seemed like a nice person with her cheerful smile.
“Hello, Sophia Reeds,” she said with a broad smile.
“Hello, Doctor,” I greeted worried about what the result. I was wondered what if I had cancer and only had few weeks to live. I didn’t want to believe this but that was what I saw when I goggled my symptoms online.
She then asked me some series of question which I responded to.
“Oh, God please. I know I have a lot of problems to deal with but I don’t want to die yet,” I prayed in my mind.
“But wait why was she smiling at me,” I reasoned scrunching my eyebrows.
“So, please I would need you to calm down because the reasons for the symptoms you have been displaying is nothing to be worried about. I have the result of the test you did and I happy to announce to you that you are 6 weeks pregnant” the doctor said
“The nurses would give you some drugs that you would need to follow and please don’t forget that you need to come for regular check-ups……….” she continued.
I couldn’t hear any other thing she said. Just one word stuck to my head. “PREGNANT”.
And then it dawned on me: I AM PREGNANT FOR A STRANGER.
