Contagious Lust (14 page)

“
So what brings you here today,” asked the nurse.

“
Well for the past few days I haven’t been feeling well…I’ve been getting headaches, feeling sluggish and have been unable to keep food down.”

“
Ok what was the last thing you had to eat or drink?” “This morning I had crackers and tea.”

As the nurse jotted every detail in her medical folder she asked her when her last period was.

She didn’t really think about it but as she counted from today’s date back to early last month, she noticed that she
have
missed a cycle.

“
How could that be
,” she thought.

Lance was the only person I’ve been with and from our last conversation, he said he was sterile.”
she thought.

“
Do you think you could be pregnant,”
the nurse asked as she continues to write.

“
PREGNANT!”

“
No…I don’t think so,”
she nervously said

“
Well we’ll give you a urine test to see.”
The nurse reaches into the cabinet and grabbed a small cup and wrote my name on the top.
“Take this into the bathroom and pee in the cup, after your done take it in the lab three doors down on your left.”

Spirit was nervous and confused.
“I can’t be pregnant… that’s impossible. Unless Lance
lied to me,”
she thought. After she handled her business in the rest room, she took her urine specimen to the lab and went back to her room to wait on her test results. She waited anxiously, the doctor walked pass her room twice until he finally came in to see her.

  “
Hello, Ms. Moore. How are you today,”
said Doctor Cartwright.
“I’m okay I guess.”

He saw the nervousness her my body language when she spoke, so he didn’t waste any time letting her know that she was in fact pregnant…six weeks to be exact. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing
. “Me pregnant!”

    
She thought, in all her adult years she’s never been pregnant until now. Part of her
was
happy.  “Wow…
PREGNANT!!”She said.

 
She kept saying in her head over and over again. It was like she had death ears when the doctor was telling her what she needed to do next as far as caring for her unborn baby.

After she left she went straight home and called Lance. She told him that she needed to talk to him. He tried to get me to tell him over the phone but she told him that she wanted to talk to him in person. So he came over that afternoon and as soon as she shut the door behind him, she blurted out to him that she was pregnant. It got quiet, all he did was stare with confusion, sort of like the look she had earlier.

“
Well?” she said “But I… I thought you had the flu?”

“
Yeah that’s what I thought too but the doctor confirmed to me after a urine sample, that I was pregnant. But I’m confused Lance, you told me that you were sterile.”

“
I am sterile.”

She sucked her teeth.
“How can you be if I’m pregnant, Lance?”

“
I don’t know... Something’s off here.”

“
I hope you don’t think I cheated on you.”

He shakes his head.
“NO…no…I’m not thinking that!” 

“
Then what are you thinking?”

“
I don’t know!!”
he shouted!

“
Why are you raising your voice? It seem like you don’t know much of anything right now!”

Lance puts his face into his hands and shakes his head.

“
How far long are you,”
he muffled.

“
The doctor says I‘m six weeks.”

He mumbled under his breath.
“What the fuck!”

He then takes a deep breath to calm down.

“
So what are you gonna do,”
he asked.

“
What do you mean what am I gonna do? I want to keep our baby.”

“
Huh….Okay.”
He calmly said. She didn’t say anymore about him not being sterile because she has heard many guys say that before after trying to get their girlfriend or wife pregnant and was unsuccessful, but come to find out later, they weren’t sterile at all. Lance hugs her and said,
“Everything is going to be alright.”
 

And she believed him. She was so in love with him, she believed anything he said.

They made love that night; it was extra special because they shared something so wonderful. He passionately caressed her from head to toe, kissing her inner thighs while grabbing hold to her hips. She reached down and pulls open her pussy lips and held it open for him. He slurped on her clit and he made it nice and wet. She was making humming noises as he continued to suck and lick. Within minutes she was creaming all in his mouth. She tried to push him off slowly but he still had her clit between his lips sucking on it gently while pinning her hands down on the bed and making it impossible for her to move.

After they made love, they laid there exhausted and sweaty. As she layed her head on to his fine hairy chest, his heart was beating to the rhythm of my own. Lance was staring at the ceiling and very pensive.

“
Lance, do you love me?”

He didn’t respond.

“
Lance,”
she said, as she looked up at him to get his attention.

“
What did you say,”
he asked.

She him asked him again,
“Do you love me?”

“
Yes…yes I love you.”

By the way he responded he seemed unsure about how he felt. So
again
she ignored it.

Lance’s cell phone rang but he didn’t answer it, after the last ring he grabs it off the table that sat on the side of the bed and turns it on vibrate. Five minutes later the phone vibrates and he ignores it again.
“Why don’t you just answer your phone, it could be something important.”

He finally decides to answer the call the last time. Spirit could hear someone yelling on the other end of the receiver and she assumed he didn’t respond back because she was laying right there. So he gets up and leaves the bedroom. All she could hear was Lance yelling back but in a soft tone, trying not to let her hear.

    
Only minutes later, he comes back in the room with his face frowned, he grabs his clothes off the floor and sits on the edge of the bed.

“
Are you okay... Is anything wrong?”

Yeah… everything is okay.” “I have to leave right now because I have to take care of something, but I’ll call you later.”

Spirits’ face went blank. She had a gut feeling everything wasn’t okay like he said it was. Lance leans over and kisses her good bye and headed out the door. She lay there thinking, “
Something is
very wrong here. Because I love him so much it seems like I’m ignoring things, ignoring the things that are so obvious. But what could it be?”
she thought. She started wondering
. Is he
cheating on me? Is he
gay
or some shit like that?
She didn’t want to assume too much, however--- she was determined to find out what was actually going on.

  
The next day at work, Davis was looking at her strangely as he says good morning to her. Chynah was sitting at the breakfast bar eating.
“Hey Spirit, how are you feeling today,”
she asked.

“
I’m much better thank you.” “Is Lance here?”

“
No…he called in earlier and said he wasn’t coming in today.” 

“
Oh, alright,”
said Spirit.

She immediately got suspicious. He has been acting very strange lately as a matter of fact, for awhile.
And
now he’s not coming in to work today, that’s not like him and not to mention she just saw him yesterday and he never said he wasn’t coming in today. Spirit went to pour a cup of coffee but the smell just made her nauseous, so she just made a cup of lemon tea instead.  She wasn’t very much in a talkative mood so she sat at her desk, to do some work, while listening to some music. She was listening to one of
John Legends’
songs that played, didn’t really know the lyrics so she just hummed along.

She heard another song playing faintly in the background but then she realized it was her cell phone going off, she had forgot to put it on vibrate. Since Lance wasn’t in today she answered it.

“
Hello.”

“
Hello” the voice on the other end said.

“
Lance?”

“
Yeah.”

“
Why aren’t you coming to work today?”

“
I have a lot on my mind right now and wasn’t in the mood to work.”

“
What is going on?”
She whispered into the phone
.

“
Don’t worry about it Spirit, its personal.”

“
What can be so personal that you can’t share it with me?”

“
Spirit, it’s family issues, that’s all.”

“
I guess whenever you’re ready to discuss you’ll let me know.”

Lance skips the subject,
“How are you feeling today, any morning sickness?”

“
I’m okay,”
she replied.

She didn’t want to mention about her feeling nauseous or mention how Davis looked at her funny, and to tell you the truth she felt some kind of way about it too.

“
What is everyone doing?” “Duh…working,”
she said sarcastically.
“Ha ha”…
that was the first laughter she got from him in awhile.

“
Is Davis around?”

“
Yeah I think he just came out of the break room. Do you want to speak to him?”

“
Yeah…but I’ll call him on his cell.” “

“
Okay”

“
Listen I will call you later okay?”

“
Alright, talk to you later.”

“
Why didn’t I ask him the questions that I needed to ask him?”
she thought as she hung up the phone.
“Every time he’s in my face or in my ear I get like butter and just melt.”
She had to question herself
. “Do I just love him or do I love myself more?”
  She saw Davis reaching into his pocket for his cell phone. “Hey cuz what’s up?” he said as he walks to get a bottled water out the vendor machine. Davis talks loud so she didn’t have to break her neck to hear his conversation with Lance. All she could hear was,
“No…I don’t think she knows anything and how’s he doing?”
