"How have you been coping with the difference in time and all,.. Do you have a house here",
Kara decided to start a conversation since they were all engulfed in a world of silence.
" I haven't really thought of getting a house yet,but for now am staying at an hotel I'd booked for two months",
Vince replied taking a zip from his glass of wine.
" You should really buy a house in the city",
"am not planning to start up a family so....
Kara who was choked on the glass of wine she was drinking,mistakenly spill it when she tried dropping the cup. Ben stood up to get some napkins from the waiter.
Vince looked at her then took her with the thought of calming her nerves.
"its OK,maybe you should have some water",
" am good,..am..am..just, never mind maybe am really sick just as Ben said",
" you are just what?",
" I need to go home", Kara said and stood up.
"you can't stand outside waiting for a cap since you are sick,..wait here let me go call a taxi",..
"you don't ha....
Kara couldn't complete her sentence since Vince already vanshined. She doesn't need anyone running errands for her,she is perfectly fine on her own.
" why are you standing and where is Vince?",
"he's out to...
"am here,I went to call a cab for Kara,she's not feeling good and am following her back home.
Vince said interrupting Kara's words. He actually rush back inside to get her.
"Do you need any help"
Ben asked looking at Vince direction.
"I can mana...
Vince words were interrupted when Kara ranted angrily at them.
"I do not need anyone's help, I am old enough to survive on my own and besides I have been doing this before I met you guys.
"I can't let some who isn't strong go out alone,.. It isn't safe, what if you faint",
Vince tried to reason with her but it seems she wasn't ready to back down without winning, but at the end she was still put in a sticky and difficult situation because Ben supportted him;
" its not safe you know,.. At least one of us has to follow you home",
"and I would love to be your excort",
At that point,Ben wanted to argue but then between who is to follow her but then,he let it slide.
After bidding his buddy a farewell, Vince and Kara walked out of the restaurant.
It seems the taxi driver was already tired of waiting because he came out even with the snow falling;
"I don't have all day you know",
The cab driver said while Kara Entered the passenger's sit then gave the driver her address, Vince joined her by going to stay at the back sit and soon the hit the road.
They soon got to Kara house,then she came out and thanked him expecting him to accept and call another taxi to take him home,but he did just the opposite of it.
" you have a nice but old fashioned house",
Said trying to infuriate her, but then Kara knew better than to fight, she was too tired to fight.
Since her house was cold,she quickly rush to the heated to turn it on.
" go ahead and have some rest",
Vince said to her and she obliged immediately without thinking twice.
She claimed the stairs and immediately walked to her room to get a change of clothes. Fluffy that was already asleep,purred signifying that it was happy to see her.
" Hi",
Kara whispered running her fingers round fluffy's fur.
When Vince is gone,she would have to take some milk. It was like an habit she had growned to get use to.
Eat food met for five people, drink alot of milk and also hope for the baby to gain weight.
It was her top priority,and in order to enhance the growth of the baby,she was also expected to take her prenatal vitamins every morning and night;
Remembering that she hasn't taken her vitamins this night, she panicked wondering if she'd left it in the kitchen and if by any chance Vince saw it,she was totally doomed.
Trying to remember were she left it, Kara felt relieve when she saw it beside the faucet in the bathroom and that moment Vince walked into the room.
"Kara?",
" am coming,..give few seconds ",
Kara said hiding the bottle well in her nighties.
Vince placed a tray of food on her bedside table obviously beside her lamp stand.
This uneasy feeling settled just below Kara's abdomen, she never thought of being in the same room with Vince since after their affair,and now being in a private setting like this makes it hard to ignore the memories of that night.
Right now the duo are both engulf in silence no one is talking and it makes it hard for any of them to know what the other is thinking.
It seems Vince is also thinking the same,but what exactly will he do or more like 'they' do....
