How could I be so blind. This would have never happened if I wasn't so pathetic to force myself on Alex. How could I even betray Tess like this.
Sleeping with her boyfriend, whom she has been dating for almost 4 years. I have to tell her soon. But I need to talk to Alex first.
I get dressed for the day and text Alex to see if we can meet. Once he responded, I got ready to leave, but before I could Tess stopped me and says "Oh, Ally? Where are you going so late in the day?" I told her that I "Just needed to buy some things." And I rush out the door and quickly head over to Alex's house.
I got to Alex's house and knocked on his door. Once the door opened I became blinded by the light and noticed a tall dark figure standing in the doorway.
When my eyes finally adjusted to the light I saw Alex standing in front of me with a strange women standing behind him.
"Can we talk?" I asked him. He looked at the woman and she said "Call me later so we can finish our conversation." Then she left.
After the strange woman left he invited me to come in. "Would you like something to drink?" He said. I nodded my head and asked for some water.
Once he got back from the kitchen he handed me my glass of water and sat down right next to me on the couch.
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" He said looking me in my eyes. I looked down to my lap and said "I think I'm pregnant." He looks at me shocked about the news and I continue. "And Tess told me that she is too."
Alex starts to panic and I try to calm him down. He starts asking a bunch of questions like "What do we do? Do we tell Tess? Are you sure?" I tell him "I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet but I know I'm a couple weeks late."
Alex sits on the couch next to me and I say "I can make up a story and say I had a one night stand?" To my surprise Alex looks at me and says "No, I have to take responsibility. You should take a test just to be sure. We'll figure something out together."
I smile at him for a moment and then say "But what about Tess?" He looks at me a bit stressed and says "We have to tell her eventually or she'll notice and find out herself. If you are pregnant then we have to tell her."
I look at him worried of what he might say to my next question. "And if I'm not? What do we do then?" He looks at me with a serious face and says "She deserves the right to know. Before it's to late."
We go to the pharmacy and buy a couple boxes of pregnancy tests. Once we get back to Alex's house I go to the bathroom and take a test. We wait for an hour before finally checking the results.
When we check the pregnancy test it came back negative. I went back to the bathroom and took another test. While we waited Alex said "Are you hungry?"
We head out and go to the closest restaurant. We get seated at a table and after a while a waiter comes out to take our order. Once we finish we got some ice cream and went back to Alex's house.
As soon as we got back I checked the pregnancy test and read the results. It came back positive. I grabbed the test and took it to Alex to show him the results.
We sit in the kitchen and plan how we're going to tell Tess the news. Alex looks at me and says "Maybe we should get some rest? You look tired."
He takes me to his room, hands me one of his shirts, and says "You can sleep here, I'll take the couch." He leaves and closes the door behind him.
I changed into the shirt he handed me and I laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling.
I couldn't sleep so after awhile I decided to go get Alex.
I go to where Alex was laying, on the couch, and wake him up.
"Alex, wake up." I whisper to him. "Ally? What are you doing up so late?" He says as he wakes up and rubs his eyes.
"I couldn't sleep. Can you sleep in the bed with me?" I said as I grabbed his arm. "Are you sure?" He asked me sitting up on the couch.
I grabbed his arms and dragged him back to his room.
I close the door and lay on the bed, tapping on his spot of the bed beside me. He climbs into the bed and lays down.
After awhile as I started to doze off I felt him wrap his arms around me and pull me closer to him, in the middle of the bed.
I turned around facing him with a smile on my face and said "Goodnight Alex." He smiled back at me pulling me into his chest and whispered "Goodnight Ally."
