《Bound To Be》Me Too

Advertisement

We stood there looking at one another not saying a word. He looked completely different as though he had aged. His facial hair was completely grown out. His hair was disheveled.

He was checking me out too. I don't think he noticed my belly since I was wearing the huge gray hoodie.

My blonde hair regrew since I haven't dyed it ever since I found out I was pregnant. I cut off the dyed edges. I had short blonde hair now.

"You look fantastic." He said breathless. It's the pregnancy glow.

"How did you find me?" I asked sternly.

He let out a laughing breath. "I've been looking for you for the past five months and you're not an easy one to find."

"Well now that you found me I have to leave again!" I was turning around when he caught my wrist.

"Please. Don't." He said sadly.

His facial expression was totally depleted. "Don't run from me any more please." His eyes came up to mine and they were filled with exhaustion.

A cold breeze waved in and I shivered. I don't need to get sick especially when I'm pregnant.

"Abraham come inside." He followed me inside and I sat back down onto my recliner chair with my blanket. I hid the pickles and chocolate on the floor.

He sat down on the couch just watching me. I continued to watch The Walking Dead.

"Can I at least explain myself?" He asked.

I continued to watch ignoring him. I heard him sigh. He didn't say anything for ten minutes until he got up and turned off the television.

"You're going to listen to me whether you like it or not." He said sternly.

"Well since you have my undivided attention go ahead." I said sarcastically.

"Alicia you have to know that what you seen wasn't my plan! It was Krystal's!"

Tears welled up in my eyes just replaying the scene between the two.

He got to his knees in front of me and wiped away my tears.

"After you left that morning I thought it was best to give you some breathing room. I stayed at the house and just kept thinking about you and our future. They were happy thoughts. I was going to go back home and find you but then realized all the fucked up shit I said to you and decided I was the last person you wanted to see. Then my cousin Danny called me and I told him we got in a fight. He wanted to take me out so we went to a bar. We had a couple of drinks then after I got a little buzzed made our way to a club. A couple of friends of mine and his were there. We were drinking and having a good time. Then Krystal came up to me. She congratulated me on my engagement. We were talking like friends. Hours passed and everyone was completely drunk, including me. I didn't have a ride home. Krystal offered to take me home. I denied but she insisted. On the way home I told her about the new home I bought for us and she wanted to see it. So I told her where it was. Now thinking about it I should've never gotten in the car with her. I was drunk though. I thought stupidly. I decided to give her a tour of the house and showed her all the rooms and whatnot. She liked it. We ended in the master bedroom and she was telling me how happy she was for me. I was just thinking about you and what we shared in the room earlier and then she kissed me! She kissed me. You walked in and that's when I knew I fucked up. My whole world was shattered. Our relationship was done." He was actually crying. "Alicia when you gave me back the ring I must've died." He grabbed my hands and was crying in them. "I would never, NEVER cheat on you Alicia. You have to trust me."

I didn't know what to believe. I do trust him but my heart was too heartbroken to fully have trust in him. His story made sense. I guess I'm just over everything we've been through.

I'm just glad he didn't keep this from me. I'm secretly happy he found me just to tell me his side.

I started to think about what Scott, Abraham's friend, told me on fourth of July.

He told me that Krystal always thought her and Abraham were dating. She was pretty obsessed over him. She probably kissed him out of jealousy.

"She knew you were coming up." Abraham said sniffling.

I gave him a questionable look and he continued. "She heard you coming up the stairs and that's when she kissed me. She was jealous of you. Jealous of what we were going to have. She wanted our future."

It all made sense.

"She told me after I yelled at her to get out. After you left. I haven't seen her since."

So it was jealousy.

"Alicia I still am insanely in love with you." He said looking deep into my eyes. It was the look he'd do to capture and lock my eyes into his.

Then all of the sudden I felt it coming, morning sickness. I got up and ran to the restroom.

I threw up all the pickles and chocolate. I rarely get morning sickness nowadays so I was a little surprised by it.

"Alicia are you okay?" Abraham asked concerned.

He really is clueless.

I got up and wiped my mouth and washed out my mouth.

I had to tell him.

I grabbed his hand and took him into the nursery I was making.

I didn't know the sex of the baby I until this morning so all there was was the little things my Dad and I had bought.

Abraham didn't know why I brought him into the room. I brought his hands down onto my belly.

His eyes widened and he stiffened. He was like that for a minute or so until he moved up the gray hoodie from my belly. My bare belly was sticking out.

His hands touched my belly again.

His breath caught in his throat. He slowly bent down until he was on his knees. He was fascinated by the bump.

He put his lips on my belly. My breath caught.

"My baby." He whispered. He looked up at me and I nodded.

His eyes closed and he continued to kiss my belly. I couldn't believe my eyes, he was actually happy about the baby.

"What's the sex?"

"A girl." He started to smile and laugh.

"Alicia you have no idea how happy I am."

Me too.
