RAQUEL

 

I told myself I would never succumb to the jealous girlfriend or the kind of woman that was always in a man’s case, being pregnant for Stephen is not something I planned but it happened and now I had to live with it.

 

So using my father’s connections, I managed to get Camilla’s number and called her.

 

β€˜Hello.’ She said on the other end of the line

 

β€˜Camilla this is Raquel, I guess I don’t need to introduce myself any further. I am heading to arcades right now, meet me at Mike’s kitchen. You and I have some talking to do.’ I said before cutting the line

I paid the cab driver that had brought me and straight away went to Mike’s Kitchen, I ordered some cappuccino as I waited for her to come. You see a woman always has a sixth sense and with the way Stephen had behaved earlier I knew that something was up his sleeve. So instead of buying the things we had gone to buy I went back to the vehicle only to find him comfortably seated with his ex-girlfriend. My thoughts were disrupted when my phone rang, it was her calling.

 

β€˜I am at arcades.’

 

β€˜Just come to the place I told you I am at.’ I said

 

I watched her walk in and I knew just then why Stephen couldn’t stay away from her or why he was super hurt that they were not together anymore. She had this purity about her.

 

β€˜You can seat.’ I said pointing at the chair opposite me β€˜Can I get you anything to drink?’

 

β€˜No I am fine.’ She responded nervously

 

β€˜I don’t want to waste much of your time so I will go straight to the point.’ She was looking directly into my eyes

 

β€˜Do you know that I am carrying Stephen’s child?’ I asked

β€˜Yes I am aware.’

 

β€˜And you also know that I am his wife?’

 

β€˜You didn’t come here to mock me right?’ she asked dropping her gaze

 

β€˜On the contrary no, Camilla I am not the reason why Stephen is not with you right now. I had nothing to do with any of that.’

 

β€˜Is that why you called me here? To remind me that my man.’ She paused β€˜That my ex man couldn’t keep his pants up and so I have to blame him for everything that has gone wrong in my life.’

 

I laughed, not because she was funny but because she was intelligent and Stephen was a fool for letting such a woman go.

 

β€˜You are right Camilla, I am not here to mock you. But we both know the kind of man Stephen is and he will obviously come back asking for forgiveness and promising you a good future but I know you are better than that.’

 

She was now eyeing me seriously and I knew that I had her attention.

 

β€˜I don’t love Stephen, there is no love whatsoever between us and the only reason we are doing this is because we are having a baby and I am telling you with everything in me that I will not allow my child to grow up in a messed up environment.’ I said in a threatening voice β€˜You are threatening me?’

 

β€˜Yes, I am warning you to stay away from anything that will cause my child distress; you can be with Stephen all you want as long as it doesn’t cause my baby to have a messed up future.’ I said

 

β€˜Don’t you think your husband is the person you should be talking to right now?’ she asked

 

β€˜Let us just stop pretending as if you have fallen out of love with him, I can see through you and I am certain if he was to come back today you would fall right back into his trap. You are an intelligent lady Camilla, don’t allow a man to destroy everything you have built and much worse a man like Stephen.’ I said as I stood up

 

I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulder, now all I had to do was to talk to my so called husband.

 

I booked a cab and gave the driver directions to my place, when I got there Stephen was having his lunch but I decided to walk past him.

 

β€˜You took longer than expected.’ He said

 

β€˜I was securing a future for our child.’ I responded getting into the bedroom

 

 

I immediately switched off my phone and stripped of my clothes, I needed to take a cold bath so that I could wash off all the emotions that were beginning to build up.

 

I looked at my baby bump which was a little visible now and the stretch marks that were showing on my waist.

 

My heart tore a little as I thought about the future that my child would have, I never imagined myself being a mother at twenty four and much less married to a man that I didn’t even love.

 

So after taking a long bath I settled for army green sweet pants with a black hoody and socks.

 

When I got to the living room he was still seated there starring at his phone. I walked to the kitchen and got the food that had been left for me in the food warmers and ate from there, afterwards I walked to the bedroom.

 

β€˜Raquel.’ He called when I had just walked past him I turned to look at him without a word

 

β€˜I will be going back for work tomorrow.’

 

I stood there waiting for him to tell me more β€˜Well I don’t want you to be lonely.’

 

I could have laughed but I chose not to.

 

β€˜Schools open in three days so I won’t be lonely as such.’ I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice

 

β€˜Oh I forgot you are a student.’ He said

 

β€˜Is that all?’ I asked

 

β€˜I will assign a driver that will be taking you to school.’

 

β€˜You don’t have to bother yourself, I will be going to dad’s tomorrow to get my car.’ I said

 

He wanted to say something but I just walked away and from the corner of my eye I saw him look at me with shock on his face.

 

I had made a decision that I was going to raise my child in the best way that I could, if Stephen didn’t want to man up and be the father he was supposed to be I would be everything my child would need; the very essence of her existence.
