NINE MONTHS IN LOVE

Nine months in Love❣️❣️

Episode One

(I Am Pregnant)

Unknown pov

They sat down there for what seems like an eternity.

The man was looking intently at her while the young lady was just nervously tapping her fingers on the table.

Is this lady for real. For the past one week she has been stalking me asking for some moment of my time. At first I thought it was another crazy girl just trying to get my attention but hell no this woman is a stalker. And now I decided to give her a listening ear, she just sits down there and goes mute.

"Excuse me miss but................"

"Am pregnant" she cut him off.

It sounded like a whisper.

"Am sorry you are what?"

"Pregnant"

All these while she wasn't looking up.

Is this lady okay.

"And so what if you are pregnant. How does that has anything to do............"

"For you" she cut him off again.

He looked at her and burst out laughing.

This time she raised her head up.

Guess she was wondering what was funny.

"Am sorry but I don't think I understand what you are saying"

"I said I am pregnant with your baby"

He wasn't laughing anymore.

Is this some kind of joke or what?!

"You are saying I got you pregnant?"

"Yes and am two weeks gone"

Somebody wake me up. This is a dream. No, infact this is a nightmare.

"Woman how much do you want"

"Am sorry, what"

"Look, I have seen these things before. Maybe someone paid you to come here and tarnish my image or maybe you are just one of those girls that are gold diggers looking for who to extract money from. So tell me how much do you want. Let's not waste our time here. I am a busy man in case you aren't"

Is this jerk for real.

"How dare you call me a gold digger. You think I am happy with this pregnancy. Hell no. I would have opted for an abortion but no my conscience won't let me. If only you know what this pregnancy will do to my life. You think it's a good thing for a lady to get pregnant out of wedlock especially to a stranger"

"Exactly my point" the man cut her off.

"A stranger. I don't even know you. I haven't seen you before so how do you expect me to believe I am the owner of that pregnancy"

"Well if you didn't have a weak memory you would have remembered the one night stand you had with a lady a month ago at the "Get down club""

He looked at her while trying to remember. But all to no avail. He has many girls at his beck and call so there was no way he's gonna remember a one night stand with a random girl.

"Okay let's just say I did have sex with you, I made sure I used condom whenever am having sex"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe it tore" she said trying to look for an explanation.

He looked at her and signed.

"So what do you want from me"

"I was waiting for that question. I just need you to take responsibility of this pregnancy in the next nine month. I don't have a job now and I don't have money to take care of myself and the baby. After the nine months, I promise to take my baby and disappear from your life"

He looked at her trying to think.

What have I gotten myself into.

"I want a DNA test" he said.

"What! Why?"

"What do you mean by why. Am still not convinced that pregnancy is mine. So I want a DNA test. Only then can I decide what to do next"

"Alright" she said.

"If that will make you believe me, am ready"

He brought out his phone.

"Here, put your number in here. I will text you when am ready"

She collected the phone and dialed her number.

"So what should I do before that time"

"I don't know. You aren't a kid anymore. Sort yourself out. Am not helping you until I am sure that pregnancy is mine".

He stood up.

"Good day miss. Till we meet again"

He entered his car and drove off.

Wow.

Is this guy for real.

How the heck did I get pregnant for a jerk like him.

"He's handsome tho" she admitted.

She heaved a sigh of relief. She decided to ask for his help because he didn't want to burden her mother. She is thankful that she didn't even throw her out of the house.

She looked at her stomach, touched it and smiled.

"Your father may be a jerk but don't worry I will do anything for you. I will give birth to you and take care of you"

It was getting late already. She stood up, picked her purse and trudge back home.

Episode two

(Am going to be a dad)

#Ken_Pov

I fell down tiredly on my bed.

Gosh today was so hectic at the office. I had too many client to attend to.

"I need a break. Yeah, something like a vacation"

I picked up my phone to check my emails and then I remembered the pregnant lady.

I was supposed to text her.

Gosh I wish these was all a dream.

I don't want to be a father now. I mean I still have my life ahead of me. Still have a lot to achieve and being a father to a child isn't on the list.

What if she's lying.

Infact I know she's lying.

That pregnancy can't be mine. I am always careful when it comes to this kind of stuff.

"Then take a DNA test" my inner mind said to me.

While a part of me was saying she's lying, another part of me was saying she may be saying the truth.

I sighed.

"Let's get this over and done with" I said as I picked up my phone.

#Lisa_Pov

Gosh, it's two weeks already and no calls or text from Mr. Ken.

I thought he said he wants to have a DNA test, so why the heck is he delaying.

I picked up my phone one more time but I didn't see anything.

I was getting angry and impatient already.

I hope this man hasn't run away because I promise I am going to find him out.

I was engrossed in my thought that I didn't hear my mom come into my room.

"Lis, are you okay" she asked as she sits near me.

She calls me Lis for short.

"Yeah, mom. Just waiting for him to text or call"

"You know I don't mind taking care of you till you put to bed. After all I am your mother"

"I know Mom. But it's hard already for you and I don't want to burden you with my mistake"

"Don't call your child a mistake. I know you made a reckless mistake but that doesn't mean your child is a mistake. Instead see it as a gift from God"

"Okay mom I have heard. Anyways he needs to take responsibility too. He's the father after all"

Just then I heard a beep from my phone.

I checked and it was from an unknown number.

I opened it and there it was, the message I was waiting for.

"Meet me at the square park tomorrow by 8am, I will take you to the hospital where we will take the DNA test" it read.

I scoffed.

Not even a "how are you? How is the baby doing"

I wonder the kind of father he is going to be to my child.

"Is that him" my mother asked.

"Yes. Am meeting him tomorrow by 8am"

"Okay. Don't worry everything will be fine dear" she said, trying to assure me.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Next day

"You are late" he said

"Hey, am just five minutes late okay. And by the way there was traffic" she said.

He looked at me.

"You look like you are sick"

"Oh, so now you care"

"Whatever. Get into the car let's go. I am a busy man and i don't have time to spare"

I scoffed.

What a jerk.

I entered the car and we left for the hospital.

We got to the hospital and the test was carried out.

Luckily for us, the result didn't take time before it was ready.

We were called into the doctor's office.

"Good day Mr. and Mrs..........."

The looked at us waiting for us to complete it.

Ken looked at me and then at the doctor.

"Uhm, doctor she isn't my wife. It's kinda complicated"

"Ohh, well let's proceed"

He brought out the result and looked at it.

"From what I have here, it says you are the father of the child"

A smile creeped on to my face. I turned to look at him and it looked like he wasn't happy.

"Uhm, doctor are you sure of what you are saying. I mean you didn't get the result all mixed up right"

What?!

Is this dude for real.

Even without the DNA result, I knew he was the father of my child.

"Very sure, Mr. Ken. I have the result here with me" the doctor said and handed the result to him.

He looked at it as if trying to fish out a mistake from it.

"Thank you doctor" he looked at me

"Let's go"

He didn't say a word to me until we got to the park.

"So what now" I asked him.

#Ken_Pov

"So what now?" She asked.

I can't still believe I am going to be a father.

What the heck do I know about fathering a child.

I turned to look at her and I saw her staring at me.

"You are going to be receiving a weekly allowance of N100, 000. That should be okay"

"OMG, N100, 000. That's a whole lot of money for a weekly allowance. Well what do you expect from a man who is stinkingly rich"

"Don't call me or text me. Use the money and take care of yourself and the child. I don't even want to know when you put to bed. If it's possible, just disappear"

"Wooh, is that how callous you are. You aren't even going to see your own child" she said.

"look woman, I don't know what you want from me. You said you are pregnant for me, okay I accept. I will play my part by providing for your needs till you give birth. After that, you are on your own. Don't expect anything from me again"

She eyed me.

"Fine. I too wouldn't like to see you too. Just make sure you fulfill your promise and I promise not to disturb you anymore"

"Good, we have a deal then"

"Just one more thing before you go please" she pleaded.

"What is it"

"Can you pls buy me that ice cream over there. Am seriously craving for it. Please I don't have enough money now or better still you can deduct it from my weekly allowance"

"You want ice cream? Are you still a kid"

"It is not me. It's what the baby is craving" she said giving him a puppy look.

I didn't move.

"If you don't but me that ice cream, I will make a scene here. Trust me I would"

I shaked my head, brought out some cash and gave to her.

She collected it gleefully, rushed to the ice cream shop and purchased an ice cream.

I stood there looking at her, all smiling and licking her ice cream like a kid.

I had to admit, she's beautiful.

"Well thank God the mother to my child is beautiful"

Wait, did he just admit he is the father.

"Am going to be a father" he said slowly as the realization dawned on him and he didn't know when he smiled.

Episode three

#Lisa_Pov

"Are you for real? N100, 000 for weekly allowance? That's huge" my mom screamed.

"Yeah, I know. At least he is generous" I said.

"Yeah and he looks like he is going to be a good father" my mom said.

I looked at my mom.

"Mom, you need to see his face when the result came out positive. I doubt he will make a good father"

"You won't blame him dear, maybe he isn't ready"

"But he is ready to get a girl pregnant" I said, sarcastically.

My mom laughed.

"Anyways mom, I am thinking of looking for a job"

My mom looked at me, surprised.

"But why? He already accepted to take care of you till you deliver"

"I know mom but you don't expect me to sit at home all day and night doing nothing just sleeping and eating. I will be bored to death"

"But my dear.........."

"Don't worry mom, I will be fine. Am sure when you were pregnant with me you didn't stay at home all day doing nothing"

"Okay you win" my mom said throwing up her hands in the air in defeat.

"Have you found any job yet"

"No but I plan on starting tomorrow to look for available jobs"

"Okay dear. Just be careful"

"I will mom"

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

#Ken_Pov

I flipped through the files in front of me in disgust.

What kind of secretary is this.

I haven't seen a clumsy and dull secretary as her before.

I dialed the intercom. No response.

I tried again, still no response.

"God what kind of girl is this"

"Maryann, maryann" I shouted.

"Mary........" I made to call again when my door opened.

"Sir you called me"

I looked at her like a principal would look at a stubborn student.

"Where were you?"

"Uhm, I stepped out to get food from the canteen"

"That's the only thing you know, food. Look at how fat you are. Eating, that's your hobbie"

She hung her head in shame.

I flunged the files to her.

"Is this what I asked you to get for me"

"Sir I thought.........."

"You don't think. Infact you don't have brain for thinking because if you do you wouldn't bring me the wrong files"

"Am sorry sir"

"Sorry for your fat self"

She was already about to cry.

"It won't repeat it self again"

"Yes it won't because you are fired"

She looked at me in shock.

"Sir I am sorry, I promise it won't ever happen again. Infact I promise not to ever eat in the office again. Please don't fire me sir"

"Clear your desk and leave my company immediately. If I repeat myself I will call the security on you"

With tears in her eyes, she left my office to go and clear her desk.

She was the fifth secretary that has been fired since the past six months.

I layed my head on my desk.

Gosh that's happening to me.

Ever since I last saw her at the park I haven't been able to get her off my head.

I can still remember the smile on her face when she was licking her ice cream. She looked cute.

I can't remember the last time I thought of a girl like this apart from my fiancee.

The thought of his fancee brought a sharp pain to his chest.

After all my love I showered on her, she still went behind my back to sleep with my best friend.

Her excuse being that I am always busy and I don't have time for her.

For Christ sake didn't she know I am a very busy person before accepting to go into a relationship with me.

Despite my tight schedule, I still squeeze out time to spend time with her.

But what did she do. She threw my love away into the mud.

I shut my eyes, trying to shut out the memories from years back.

The pain and hurt was too much.

I sighed.

"No woman deserves my love"

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Few weeks after

"Mr. Ken am so happy you decided to honour my invitation. You don't know what this means to me"

"After reading your proposal, I decided to give it a try. It looks like what will bring profit and I am always open to business that yield profit" I said.

"Thank you once again. On behalf of Kingsway Co. Ltd I say thank you"

"Aren't you going to offer me anything" Ken asked looking around.

"Ohh, am sorry. Forgive my impudence, what would you want sir"

"Coffee will be nice"

"Okay sir"

The man picked up the intercom.

"Yes, get me a cup of coffee right now. Be fast"

He turned to Ken.

"Just a minute sir, your coffee will be here soon"

Ken nodded his head.

Seconds later, the door opened and a lady walked in with a cup of coffee.

"Here is the coffee sir" she said handing it to him.

Ken turned and right in front of him is Lisa.

Out of shock, the cup fell from Lisa's hands and spilled coffee everywhere.

"Are you stupid" the man shouted.

"Am sorry sir" she said trying to pick up the broken pieces of the cup.

Ken watched as Lisa frantically tried to pick up the broken pieces of cup.

"Do you know who you just spilled coffee on. Always clumsy. I only decided to employ you because you were pregnant"

"Enough" Ken said to the man.

He turned to Lisa.

"Are you okay"

"Uhm sir do you know her" the man asked looking shocked.

"That is not the way to talk to my woman"

What?!

Not only was the man shocked, Lisa was shocked too.

Did he just say "my woman"

"But sir........"

"This meeting is over" Ken cut him off.

He pulled Lisa from the ground.

"Let's go"

Almost at the door, he stopped and turned to the man.

"And the contract is over too" he said and walked out the door holding a confused Lisa in his arms.

When they got into the car, Lisa couldn't hold it in anymore.

"What was that all about"

"That doesn't sound like a thank you"

"Why should I thank you. Do you realize you just got me fired from my job"

"Why the heck are you working. Is the N100, 000 I send to you weekly not enough? Should I increase it"

"It isn't about increasing it. I just wanted to find something doing instead of lazing around doing nothing"

"And why didn't you discuss it with me. At least as the father of the child, I have a right to know"

"Are you kidding me. Aren't you the one that said I shouldn't bother you anymore as far as you fulfill your promise. So why are you acting concerned all of a sudden"

He looked at her.

She is right.

Why am he acting concerned?

"Stop working" he said abruptly.

Lisa looked at him like he has gone nuts.

"look Mr. Man you can't tell me what to do and what not to do. You don't own me"

"As the father of that child, I am ordering you not to work for anyone again"

This is it. Lisa was already angry.

"Look here you jerk, who do you think you are to boss me around like I am your slave. I may be carrying your child but that doesn't mean I am your wife. So don't control my life and tell me shit. Just keep sending the money and when I put to bed, I will disappear"

She opened the car door.

"What are you doing" Ken asked.

"Are you blind. Obviously I am going home"

She slammed the door, flagged down a taxi and left.

Ken just sat in the car.

Why am I worrying myself with this issue.

It is her life.

If she wants to work for the whole nation, let her do so, I don't care.
