BEHIND OUR LOVE... CHAPTER 44
BY MIEMIEBEE


IZZY'S POV;

"Oh common Izzy don't talk like that, even now that you're carrying his baby?"

"Yes Fiona, even now that I'm carrying his baby and wait its not just his baby its mine also."

"Izzy you two have to patch things up, you two just failed to understand it but you're the perfect couple, you guys are meant to be so please don't send James away from your life, for the sake of your baby."

"Fiona are you kidding me? You know that beast better than anyone does why are you feeling sympathy towards him? Incase you don't know the demon you're sympathizing now just cut off my weekly allowance today instead of 5k he gave me 3k just 3k, imagine that!" I hissed.

"What!? What was that? Oh God no I really don't understand James, his face and personality? Just don't meet. Why will he do such a thing?"

"Must you ask?" I questioned her. "It is simply wickedness at its peak thats all"

"So now, you're not going to tell your husband you're pregnant?"

"Fionaa!!! Did James send you here? Stop calling him my husband plus I'm not going to tell him i'm pregnant."

"But why Izzy?"

"Gosh! Fiona you're starting to get irritating. How on earth am I going to tell him?"

"He is your husb- I mean you are his wife he'll surely understand."

"Did I miss something?" I asked sarcastically. "You know well James always use protection before we... You know so how on earth is he going to believe that its his baby I'm carrying? He'll ofcourse thinks that I did adultery."

"No he won't 'cause comdoms do break atimes, use that as an excuse."

"James is not dumb Fiona, he won't believe me. Why are you insisting on me telling him? I thought you and I are on thesame team but it seems you're siding with that beast now."

"This is not a matter of sides Izzy, you and him are married, you suppose to love each other. Then why don't you tell him how you actually got pregnant, tell him it was with you he made love the other day." She lectures.

"Hehehe" I laughed sarcastically. "Really Fiona? You think James will believe that?" She nodded. "Well even if he'll I'm not telling him and that goes to you too, don't tell anyone about this clear?" She nodded.

*****

By 3pm I was ready to go home, Fiona just left a while ago. I'm sitted by a bench outside waiting for a taxi coming by to stop, I can't wait to get home and rest I'm so tired and sickning with fever. Just as I turned left to see either a taxi is coming I saw Ryan's car coming out of our school gate. I quickly turned to the other direction hoping that he didn't see me but unfortunately he did. He parked his car by the roadside.

Sitting close beside me he wrapped his arm around my body, I felt electric sparks within me. "Izzy how are you feeling?" I couldn't take my eyes off his hand on me until he felt uncomfortable and removed his arm just in the process I caught his arm and smiled at him. "Sorry" he apologized. I shook my head in a disapproving way. "No harm done." He smiled back at me positioning his grip on me, I leaned over his broad chest and he gently rubbed his palm against my arm continuously.

I don't know why but I felt at home in his arms, I love everything about Ryan, whenever he's with me, I feel secured.

"How are you feeling now?" His charming voice pulled me out of my thought.

"Much better" I responded.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

I quickly raised up my head from his chest and looked at him with a questioning expression on my face. "Why?"

"Its my fault that you got sick, I was the one that bought you the burger, I'm so-"

I placed my finger against his lips interrupting him. "No Ryan its not your fault, you did nothing wrong stop apologizing please you make me feel uneasy." He nodded looking at my lips with strong passion that made me start looking at his too. Just like a magnet our face couldn't stop coming close to each other. No! I have to stop myself, I can't kiss Ryan even if I want to I can't Fiona is right. But I cannot stop myself from Ryan.

Sure you can Izzy and you have to NOW!! The logical voice in my head alerts.

Just when our lips are about colliding, I moved my face away from his I can see how disappointed he was. "I'm sorry" I stated. "I'm sick." He nodded "I shouldn't have gone far too, I'm sorry"

"No Ryan you aren't going far, I like where we are going."

He smiled without saying anything and I smiled back. There was a total moment of silent and it felt awkward. I broke the silence by saying "I need to get going thanks for the warm concern towards me, you're such a sweetheart". As I stood up, Ryan stood with me. "Let me take you home."

Oh God! NO! James' in town there's no way I'm letting Ryan take me home what if they meet? What if Ryan finds out that i'm married he'll forever hate me and will wanna stay away from me. What do I do now?

"Izzy are you okay? Or should I take you to a nearby pharmacy or perhaps I can check you on my own."

Ignoring his question I said, "there you go again. You're soon to be a doctor and not a doctor." I corrected him.

"You doubt my abilities? Lets go in and I'll check you up and tell you exactly what is wrong with you."

No! No and no again I thought he was just joking, I won't allow Ryan check me up for the world. What if he realises that I'm pregnant God no!.

"Agreed?" He asked me.

"No! I need to get home I'm tired I don't have time for that plus I don't doubt your abilities Mr confident." I teased him.

He smiled, "then lets go, I'll drop you by."

"No Ryan you don't have to" I protested.

"Common Izzy, you're sick as a friend your safety means alot to me, so allow me play my role okay?"

"Ryan yo-"

"No Izzy I insist I'm taking you home." Before I could get to talk again he dragged my hand to his car, he opened the door for me and when I shoved myself in he closed it and made his way in too. Starting the ignition, he started driving. I tried my best not to stare at him but I can't not that he is as gorgeous as James, sure that beast is more handsome than Ryan in one way or the other though the difference is not that much but I prefer starring at Ryan than James. Starring at him gives me more pleasure than starring James.

We talked a little about school and we were finally at my place. He parked, just as I was about opening my door he stopped me and said he will. Awww! Ryan is such a gentleman I thought to myself. In just some seconds my door opened and he offered his hand chivalrously for me I gripped it on and thanked him as he pulled me out of the car.

On reaching to the gate, I stopped and thanked him again I was waiting for him to say something like goodbye but its like he wants to come in just as always as he does. God! I'm so stupid to think that way, why am I sending my friend away? I suppose to welcome him in and not send him away. What do I do now? I sure don't have another option than to let him in do I? I can't tell him to go back ofcourse.

I pray James is not at home. Just as I opened the mini gate, James car wasn't home. Huh! I sighed relieved thanks God for answering my prayer. I gestured Ryan in and served him some snacks with juice.

We've spent like 10minutes now why isn't he leaving?

Tell me one good reason why he should Izzy? You guys always spend hours together. Lectures the logical brain in my head. I can't stop praying, I wish James will not come back at this time. 20 more minutes Ryan was ready to leave I can't tell you how relieved and at ease I am.

He didn't even want me escort him outside because of how concerned he is about my condition. He hugged me before leaving and I watch him left before coming back in.

I went straight to the fridge and brought out some raw sausage, after frying it I sat on the dining table and tried to eat unfortunately I couldn't. Despite how I love sausages I couldn't eat it today, I must be definately pregnant. I forced myself and eat only two because of how hungry I am. After that, I walked to my room, had a shower, changed into shorts and vest and slept tiredly.
