I wake up with a sudden jolt, my stomach churning violently. I roll out of bed and make my way towards the bathroom, where I dry heave into the sink basin. The warm salty taste of vomit coats my mouth as I wipe the back of my hand across it.
After a few minutes, I manage to pull myself together and splash some water on my face to rinse the nasty taste away. My reflection in the mirror shows a face slick with sweat.
I reach for my belly and a smile forms on my lips. Finally! All the pleasant things Gavin and I have done the past few nights have finally taken root! I can't wait to tell him!
And so, when the night comes, I make my way to the gardens, where we plan to meet as Tiana has mentioned. I smile as I walk, feeling a sense of excitement bubbling in my chest.
When I see him hiding behind the bushes, my smile turns into a grin. "Gavin!" I call after him as I run into his embrace.
