Love Trap

Chapter 13

Celine POV

I’m so nervous right now, I couldn’t think straight. In my hand is a pregnancy kit, showing that I’m expecting. How will I tell it to Blake? If even our status we couldn’t figure out. I didn’t wish to get confuse when this wonderful news comes to me, but right now I couldn’t even rejoice for this blessing.

A knock from my bathroom door startle me, Blake is checking why I’m taking too long inside. He is not used to it when he saw me locking my door that’s why he usually knocks to check if I’m okay. I hurriedly fix my look and hide the kit in my pocket, wash my hands and went outside.

“What took you so long love? Are you okay? You’re looking pale.” He asked worrying when he saw my face.

“I’m okay, just not feeling that good today. Maybe I’ll stay at home today, I just need a rest maybe.” I said and went back to bed and lay.

“Okay, I’ll just stay today so I can look after you.” He said instantly that makes me feel alarmed.

“No it’s okay, I can manage alone here. You don’t need to skip your work today for me.” I said assuring him that I’ll be fine.

“Are you sure?” He asked again.

“Yes, absolutely.” I replied

“Alright. Keep your phone open and close to you I will call from time to time.” He said before he started to prepare himself for work.

The smell of his brewed coffee makes me want to throw up again but I have to control so it won’t make him worry about me. I refuse to have a coffee instead I make my cup of warm milk with whipped cream topping. It looks weird but I really want it to drink this way today. Blake is just watching my move and maybe getting confuse all of a sudden.

The rest of the day, I just lay in bed and take a good rest. At lunch time I just cooked a pasta dish and drink a lot of apple juice that really satisfy my cravings. Blake really called me from time to time, checking how I was been and if I still can manage here at home alone. I assured him that I’m doing fine, although I’m missing him but I didn’t tell him so I won’t be able to distract him with his works.

At noon I planned to cook something special and I thought of saying the news to Blake too, but still I’m having a second thought about it. Maybe I’ll check his mood first before I will decide if I will tell him tonight or not. He came from home a little bit late and looking tired but still he tried to flash his smile at my direction when he saw me preparing the table for our dinner.

He hug me and give kisses on my head, the usual thing he do whenever he gets home. Looks like it’s not the perfect timing to tell him so I will just postpone the announcement. I asked him to take a sit so we could start eating, without a word he just went to his seat and start placing foods at our plates.

“Why looking upset?” I asked out of curiosity.

“I’m just tired from all the works I finished today.” He said and force himself to smile.

It doesn’t look that way, it’s like he’s hiding something from me or he couldn’t tell something. I just ignore the thought and start eating the food that I prepared for four hours. He asked why I still tried to cook dinner when I’m still looking unwell, I said I just wanted to eat home cooked meals so I still force myself to prepare and cook the meals we’re having right now.

We finished our dinner and told me to just rest now and that he will be the one to wash the dishes. Since I’ve been feeling tired, I just headed to my room and decided to take a night shower so I could sleep well. I removed my clothes and went inside the bathroom, I decided to soak myself on a warm water. So I prepare the tub with a warm water and bubble bath on it. The smell of vanilla makes the room smells refreshing and relaxing.

Once I finished preparing my water I went to dip in and relax my body for almost half an hour. A knock from the outside makes me stop myself in enjoying the tub. I hurriedly soap my body and shampoo my hair, after almost fifteen minutes then I’m done with my bath.

I dressed and about to go outside when I realized I haven’t keep the pregnancy kit that I used earlier. So I tried to recall where did I put it inside this bathroom but I couldn’t find and recall it. I come to search for it but I really can’t find it anywhere in here. I just wish I didn’t placed it anywhere that Blake could see it that instant. I slowly went out from the bathroom and saw that Blake is not here so I start checking the kit in the pocket of my used clothes but there’s nothing in there.

Soon Blake stepped into the room and asked what I’m doing. I said I was just looking for something, but it’s noting that important and then I went to my vanity mirror to comb my hair. I’m just being natural so he won’t suspect that I’m trying to hide something from him. I saw his reflection in the mirror looking at me but I couldn’t figure out why.

“Until when will you going to hide on me?” He suddenly asked me out of nowhere.

“What are you talking about?” I retort while still looking at him at the mirror reflection and keep combing my hair at the same time.

“Don’t play innocent Celine.” He said, mentioning my name is an indication that he’s in a serious mood.

“Don’t keep me hanging, what is it that you’re saying?” I asked even if I’m already having a clue about it.

“Can you explain this to me?” He asked and lift his hand with the pregnancy kit.

I froze at the moment and couldn’t utter a single word. Should I deny or it’ll be okay if I just tell it to him now. He’s getting impatient on the way he look at me, waiting for me to answer him.

“Where did you get it?” I asked instead of answering him.

“I pick it on the floor earlier. Care to explain this to me?” He said, eyes still fixed at me.

“That’s mine and yes I’m pregnant. I just confirmed it this morning but I couldn’t tell you because I don’t know how I will share the news to you.” I explain hoping that he will believe me.

“Are you sure that you wanted to tell this to me or you have no plans on telling it to me? “ He asked doubting me.

“And why will I hide it from you? I told you I’m just looking for a right time to share the news to you.” I said walking towards where he is standing.

“I don’t know. Maybe so you can still have a way to go back with that useless ex-boyfriend of yours.” He said mockingly that made my hand slam on his face that instantly.
