Chapter 6- A baby?

Ivy's POV

I knew Luke was behind me before I heard him

speak. I took a deep breath and turned round to face him.

“Ivy is there something you need to tell me?” He asked, I thought I saw him look at my stomach but maybe I was just being paranoid.

“What do you mean?” I asked trying to look innocent but the unease came out in my voice.

“Are you...?” He trailed off pointing to my stomach.

“Am I what?” I asked.

“Are you pregnant?” He finally said to my disappointment.

“And what if I am?” I asked raising an eyebrow.

“Are you?” He said I could hear the hint of annoyance in his voice.

“I...I...” I stuttered, he wasn’t going to react well, I didn’t know what to say.

Annoyed he turned away from me and started to walk toward the front door.

“I’m pregnant.” I finally got the words out of my mouth.

He just froze in place for a moment and then with a shake of his head he walked out the front door.

Luke’s POV

I can’t believe she’d do this to me. Was she just trying to mess my life up? This thing, or baby, whatever it is, is just going to complicate everything. I should never have let that girl move into my house. What did she expect to gain from getting pregnant? I wasn’t about to suddenly change and be all happy about having a child.

Ivy’s POV

A few days passed, Luke was giving me the silent

treatment. If he was home he watched TV, the rest of the time he worked.

But today he actually spoke to me.

“So what do you want to do about it?” He asked.

“About what?” I asked surprised.

“The baby.” He said cringing.

“Well I’ve been thinking.” I replied.

“What about?” He asked.

Then with all the courage I could gather I got down on one knee and I asked him to marry me.

Chapter 5- Need to know

Luke’s POV

I sat watching the clock tick by waiting for her to come home, I was determined not to get cold feet!

Ivy’s POV

All the way home in the taxi I was arguing with myself whether to tell him or not. I wouldn’t be able to bear it if he hated me. Why did this have to happen to me?

The taxi pulled up as close as it could get to the house and I slowly

walked the rest of the way to the house, I was so nervous and scared I was shaking. I just hoped he wouldn’t notice. Oh how I wanted him to be happy with the news I was bringing but I thought I knew what would happen.

I opened the door and walked into the house, surprised to see Luke stood waiting for me. My fear increased, did he already know? Was he here to shout at me? He’d blame me, it’d all be my fault.

“Hi,” He said smiling. For a moment looking at him I forgot all my worries and fears but only for a moment then reality hit and I was on the verge of panic.

“Hi,” Was all I managed to say.

He moved closer to me and took my hand in his. He was looking into my eyes and I had no idea what he was about to do or say.

“Ivy will you be my girlfriend?” He asked. Relief rushed through me, he didn’t know, he didn’t know!!

At first I couldn’t answer, surely Luke didn’t want to make this kind of commitment but I wasn’t going to say no. “Yes, of course.”

Then he kissed me, his lips so soft and warm, I love him. I really do and now I might lose him. I knew I should have told him but I didn’t want to ruin the moment, he held me in his arms so tightly, I just wanted to stay there forever.

Life was good for a while, almost perfect except for the nagging thought in the back of my mind. But then came the point I could no longer hide it, I was starting to show and I was really going to have to tell him there was no way round it.

Luke’s POV

Ivy thought I was watching TV but I was watching her, there was something different about her. But what? I sat there pondering it for a while. Then everything clicked. She couldn’t be could she? Surely she’s not pregnant, but she would have told me if she was or I hope she would. Though I really hope she isn’t I don’t want a child, I know she does but she wouldn’t do this to me would she, what was she hoping would come of it? I got up of the sofa and walked towards Ivy, I needed to know.

Chapter 4-Could it be?

Luke’s POV

I don’t know what to do. I’m not sure how I feel about her. I’ve never felt this way before; it goes

against everything I stand for, everything I’ve ever believed in. She brings out the good in me and I’m not good. It’s not in my nature, never has been and never will be. So how could I ever...ever love her?

Ivy’s POV

The one question running through my mind over and over and over again is am I falling for him? He’s not the type of guy I always dreamed I would grow up to marry. I’d always wanted a good man who was family orientated and romantic, oh and cleaned up after himself. Not someone like Luke, he’s everything I hate. He brings out the bad in me and I’m not bad! So how could I ever love him?

Luke’s POV

So I’ve decided to do it. I’ve decided to make a commitment and believe me that’s rare. But Ivy’s rare. No other girl has ever made me feel this way. So I’m going to do it as soon as she gets home from work, I’ll ask her the moment she steps in the door she’ll be so surprised I can’t wait.

Ivy’s POV

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can’t be! He’ll hate me, he’ll never forgive. What will he say? What am I going to do? This can’t be true! Maybe if I deny it it’ll all just go away, but I knew that wasn’t true. I’ll tell him when I get home from work, I don’t have a choice.

Chapter 3- A TV

Ivy POV

It’s been a few days since that wonderful kiss and I’m really not sure what’s going on between me and Luke, everything just seemed to go back to the way it was. I’m not really sure I want a relationship with a guy like that though. But maybe I do. Oh I don’t know!

Luke’s POV

I really like Ivy. More than any other girl and that scares me. I’m not ready to make a commitment; I don’t think I ever will be. Not to mention I know she wants lots of children, I don’t want a single one. I can’t be fair to myself and to her at the same time. Life’s too complicated!

I finally managed to make enough money to buy a TV and I love it!

Ivy’s POV

Well Luke finally got his TV meaning he now does nothing in the house; he goes to work, watched TV, eats and sleeps. That’s it. And look at me left to do the repairs around the home.

And that’s what I was doing tonight, fixing the blasted sink.

“Ivy, why don’t you leave the sink alone and

come watch some TV.” Luke called from the couch.

“What? And let the kitchen flood.” I replied.

He didn’t answer but once I’d finished I went to join him on the couch. We sat in silence watching some horror or something I don’t know what it was but it was really cheesy and badly made. Once it had finished I sat waiting for Luke to leave so I could sleep on my lovely lumpy couch. But he didn’t move. He turned to look at me and I looked at him, and we just sat there together in the silence, it didn’t feel awkward it felt nice and peaceful.

He put his arm around me and pulled me in, he felt so warm and made me feel safe which is ironic considering he’s evil. I didn’t want to move. But then he kissed me passionately and my insides melted. At some point we ended up heading towards the bedroom but I didn’t stop him, I wanted to.

And that was the first night I actually spent in the bed.

Chapter 2- A kiss

Ivy's pov

"You will get out of here Ivy, don’t worry about it, you’ve now got a job at the town hall, you’ll make enough money to move.” I said to myself in the mirror. “I think I am officially insane, I’m talking to myself in the mirror and I’m still doing it now. This really can’t be a good sign.” I stepped away from the mirror and walked into the lounge/kitchen it was a mess. So I worked my way through the house cleaning everything, Luke

is such a slob he needs a maid not a roommate, the funny thing is I’m paying him so that I can live here, where’s the sense in that?

I’m still sleeping on the couch if he even thinks I’m going anywhere near him he’s got another thing coming.

Luke’s pov

Well she’s certainly lasted longer than I thought she would. I know she wants to move out as soon as she can afford and she’s working her hardest over at the city hall, even though she actually isn’t getting anywhere with that as of yet, she hasn’t had a single promotion.

Me on the other hand working as a criminal has proven to be a very

good career choice, having

now had two promotions. I think Ivy’s getting jealous. She’s kinda cute though but she really won’t give me the time of day.

“Hi,” I said as I walking up the path towards the house after work, Ivy was out discarding the old newspapers for some reason.

“Hi,” She grumbled in response.

“Surely it’s not that bad.”

“Oh you would say that, your fine living in a mess.” She replied agitated.

I shrugged her comment off.

“Can’t we at least be friends?” I asked moving closer to her, I could smell the flowery fragrance of her perfume.

She looked at me like she was really looking at me for the first time but then something in her face changed. “But you don’t want to be friends.”

I was shocked. “And why don’t I?”

“You want to be more than friends.” She stated.

“And you don’t?” I asked moving closer.

Ivy’s pov

He moved closer to me, he smelt of mint and ocean wind, refreshing, he was gorgeous I really couldn’t deny that. I didn’t want to be friends did I? And surely I didn’t want to be more than friends but now I wasn’t so sure. But he’s evil! You can’t like someone like that. Say no! I shouted to myself.

“No,” I managed to say but it was so quiet I didn’t know whether he heard it or not.

He lifted his hand to my cheek and I surprised myself I didn’t move out of the way I let him! And you know what, I liked it.

Then he kissed me! He kissed me! What was happening? I was so confused, I didn’t want this did I? But I liked it!

Chapter 1- A swamp!

If you haven't done already I recommend reading the intro :)
Ivy’s pov (point of view)

In a swamp! I am living in a swamp! This cannot be happening to me. Luke doesn’t seem all that fussed; actually he looks right at home. How can anyone live in this dump of a home? I’m going to have to watch every step I take around here, oh and I’ll need some hand wipes on me at all times, who knows what nasty diseases are lurking around here *shudder*.

I don’t really know Luke, I only met him a short while back he needed a roommate and I needed a place to stay. I was so desperate to move away from home I didn’t even look where he lived. Now I really wish I had, never in a million years would I voluntary live here but now it’s too late.

“Hey you must be Ivy.” Luke said walking out of the house, or shack would be more appropriate.

“Yes.” I answered.

So what do you think, nice huh?” He asked gesturing to the house. Did he really think this place was nice or was he joking because please let him be joking, I do not want to live with a psychopath.

“Erm...Yeah.” I answered hesitantly.

He didn’t seem to notice my hesitance in replying.

“Come on in.” He said and walked back into the house. Slowly I followed him careful not to touch anything.

Luke’s pov

I wonder how long this girl’s going to last, I give her two days tops. The last girl Keisha lasted a week and she wasn’t a clean freak but we did have a little fun. I can’t believe this girl, Ivy, actually thought this place was nice. Did she not look at the place it’s a tip because when you’re a loser you don’t really get what you want.

I had to hide my smile when I saw her grimacing at the dirty dishes and laundry thrown on the floor, I hoped she’d stay longer than two days, this could get pretty interesting.

“So yeah this is the bedroom.” I said showing her the bedroom.“Yours or mine?” She asked. I knew that question was coming and I couldn’t wait to see the look on her face.

“No it’s the only bedroom.” The look on her face was priceless; it was like a child being told there was no such thing as the Easter bunny.

“Well where do I sleep then?”

“On the couch or in the bed with me.” I said raising my eyebrows. She got the hint.

“Humph I’ll take the couch.” She replied and left the room.

I think this is going to be fun.
