Chapter 2 It’s Positive!
Naomi woke up the next day feeling sore and in pain all through her body. She dragged herself off the bed and realized she was wearing nothing.
“Oh My God, What the…?” She quickly dragged the sheets over her naked body.
“Where am I?” She found her dress carelessly laying on the floor. “No. No, no…” Her voice cracked.
Nobody was in the room with her.
She picked her panties and dresses, put them on in confusion and rushed into the bathroom.
She could barely remember anything, except being kissed by a man. “Oh no, I'm doomed.”
She stared at the mirror and could see hickeys on her neck, she put on the tap on the sink and tried to wipe off the hickeys but to no avail.
Ten minutes later, she ran down the stairs. She kept her head down as she passed one of the house servants carrying a set of neatly arranged towels.
“Miss, are you….?”
“Don’t worry about me,” she replied instantly while still rushing off.
“I refuse to have anything to do with that company, tell Nathan exactly what I said.” A familiar male voice said from behind her, she turned and it was no other than the one and only Lucas Bright speaking to somebody over the phone.
She held her breath and halted as he walked past her without throwing a glance her way and she finally exhaled. He looked more handsome than she had seen on TV and magazines.
As if she was pinched, she rushed out of the hotel into a taxi.
She got home and tried tip-toeing into the house through the front door.
“Slut.”
Naomi froze in panic, goosebumps all over.
Her step-sister Isabella, walked out of the kitchen in her pajamas, with a smirk on her face and her phone in hand.
“You didn’t come home last night,” Isabella said, pretending to check her nails. “You must’ve had a wild night.”
“What do you mean ? I got… I mean I dozed off somewhere, the wine hit me too hard.”
“Sure it did,” Isabella said sweetly. “You look so cute, returning home looking like that. If Mum finds out...”
“Please stop.”
“What?” Isabella blinked innocently. “I’m just saying.”
“I didn’t do anything, so what is she trying to find out?”
“Oh?” Isabella walked slowly towards her and placed her hands on Naomi's shoulder. “I saw you stumbling up the stairs at the Lexington’s penthouse to meet with God knows who. Fuck you've got hickeys.”
Naomi threw her hands off, “Those are not hickeys, I didn’t sleep with anyone,” she lied.
Isabella’s smile only got brighter. “Whatever helps you sleep at night, babe.”
Naomi stared at her for a while and walked past her into her room.
By the time she got to her room and locked the door, her hands were shaking.
—
For the next three weeks, Naomi was in panic. Her body was acting up.
She always wakes up tired and vomiting at any slightest chance she gets.
She became suspicious and worried, her monthly visitor was meant to show up the past week but it didn't.
She was in denial, she sneaked out once to buy a pregnancy test kit.
After urinating on it, the next ten minutes she waited was the worst ten minutes of her life.
“God, don't let it be.”
Ten minutes later, she picked up the kit and there were red lines.
She froze, it was positive. Naomi was pregnant.
It seemed as if the world halted, she wasn't seeing or feeling anything. Her mind traced back to that night three weeks ago at the Lexingtons Penthouse.
She had given up her virginity to a stranger and now she was pregnant.
“Why? Why? Why!” Naomi asked as she hit her hand on the bathroom walls. “Why did I act foolishly?”
“Drink up, you're too tense.” She remembered Isabella saying these words to her while passing her a glass of wine, that was the only thing she drank that night.
“Did Isabella drug me?” Naomi asked, her eyes wide open in realization.
“Naomi?” It was Meredith, she knocked on the door.
“Damn, why now?” Naomi didn't answer, she hastily tried to hide the kit.
But the door opened and Meredith walked into the room, turned to the bathroom and found her panicking trying to hide something.
“Isabella just told me you slept out after the party three weeks ago.”
“I slept off somewhere.”
“Hmm.” Meredith stepped closer, “Isabella said you obviously slept with someone and came back with hickeys. Do you... perhaps have anything to say to me?”
“No, that's a lie” Naomi replied with a shaky voice, holding the kit behind her which she unsuccessfully tried to hide.
“It better not be true, cause who knows what could happen next.”
She turned and left without waiting for a reply and Naomi slumped to the ground in relief.
She stood up and walked into her bedroom with the kit, opened her drawer and was about to drop it in when the door burst open.
“I knew it.”
