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.
