Help me , Mister

This Cannot Be Real

Letitia's POV

I get up from the bed as fast as I can and run to the bathroom, again. I have to see a doctor, this can't be a cold. I finish throwing up and take a shower. As I do my shower routine, I remember the events of yesterday and my already brooding mood intensifies. After I finish showering and wearing my outfit for the day, I look at my reflection on the mirror. My face is full and my clothes fit me perfectly now. My clothes were a bit bigger when I was with Connor and I think the reason for that was that I was not happy.

I exit the bathroom before I start overthinking and go to make the bed. I see a tray next to the bed and I continue making the bed. I open the tray as soon as I finish and my eyes widen at what I see. How did he know I love pancakes? This looks delicious and it smells amazing. I take a grape and put it my mouth before taking the small paper on the tray. I see a handwritten note and a smile makes its way to my face. This handwriting is beautiful.

'Good Morning.

I don't know what to say but I want you to know I am sorry. I did not make this to buy your forgiveness, believe me. I will answer all your questions when I get back, I promise.

Your handsome housemate'

My smile widens and a small laugh escapes when I read his ending. He is so sweet and I can see that he regrets what he did. I just want him to explain but I don't want to pressure him into talking about something he does not want to talk about. There is something that made him like this and I admire him because he is strong. My thoughts were cut off by phone vibrating. He must have put it on vibrate because I don't remember doing that after we watched the movie.

I take my phone and check who it is from. Of course it is from Larisa. I have no friends to text and call but that does not bother me at all. I open my phone and look at her reply.

'You're still throwing up? I will be there after work, I have a busy day today. He hates horror movies. Infact, he is a scaredy cat. Why are you asking this? You're still there, right? I still want all the details.'- BigSis'

'I'm still here, Larisa. Why did it take so long to answer?'-Larisa

I reply to her message while laughing. I put my phone on the bed and finish eating my delicious breakfast. I go to the kitchen to wash my dishes and I expected the kitchen to be a mess but it is the complete opposite of that. It is spotless like nothing happened here. He is a husband material this one. I think to myself and mentally scold myself for thinking that.

I finish washing my dishes and just stand in the middle of the kitchen. I am going to be bored the whole day here and that is not what I had in mind. I have to find a job and soon. I can't pay my expenses without it and I am planning on getting an attorney. I walk to the bedroom with a mission in mind. I will steal his car keys and use his car to drive around today. I do just that and take my laptop with me.

I choose the car keys that I think are the simplest and walk to the garage. I enter and press the open button and the car beeps. I thank the Lord when I see it is not flashy. I enter the car and put it on drive. I drive for 30 minutes and park my car on the diner's parking area. I take everything I will need and exit the car. I enter the diner and look around. I choose the table next to the window and before I sit down , I hear the sweet and motherly voice of Aunt Candy.

"I see you couldn't help but come back.", she says hugging me and I hug her back while giggling.

"Your cooking is the best and I needed a change of scenery. ", I say leaning away from her and taking a sit.

"Ugh! You flatter me, my dear. What can I get you today?", she asks while I laugh at her being modest.

"I would like to have a large cheese burger with large chips and an apple juice.", I say politely and take my laptop out of the bag. I've been craving it since yesterday night.

"I'll send someone to give you your order. I have errands to run today so I won't be here.", she says and I wish her the best.

I have been here for a while now and I finished my food within 10 minutes. Finding a job is the most difficult thing to do. There are no open spaces and this is stressing me out. I hear my phone beeping and I quickly take a look and see it's a message from Larisa.

'I'll be there in 30.'- Larisa

My eyes widen in surprise and I look at the time. I quickly stand up and take all my things and put them in my bag. I pay my bill and leave a tip on the table and hurry to the car. As fast as I can I enter and drive back to the house. I enter the gate and drive straight to the garage. I get out of the car and see Larisa getting out of hers.

"Where were you?", she asks in a curious tone and I look at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you my mother now, Larisa?", I ask playfully and she nods her head yes.

"Might as well be.", she says and I laugh walking up to her and hug her. She hugs me back rubbing my back softly.

"You missed me that much, CupCake?", she asks with a small giggle and I giggle back before leaning away from her.

"Let's go in. I want to know everything. And I mean everything!", she squeals taking the shopping bag that I did not even see and walks inside. We enter the living and she puts the shopping bag on the table and turns to me.

"Before we do that, how are you feeling?", she asks and I shrug before answering her.

"Well, I did throw up this morning and I have been really tired lately but other than that I'm fine.", I say sitting down and she looks at me with a weird look before taking something out of the shopping bag. She turns it to me and my eyes widen.

"I'm not pregnant. ", I say quickly before she can speak.

"You don't know that.", she says gently with a sigh and sits next to me.

"I said I'm not pregnant, Larisa.", I say feeling really frustrated with her.

"When last did you have s*x, huh?", she asks running her hand through her silky soft hair.

"Oh , I don't know. 2 months? Or maybe a month? I can't remember. I hate this.", I say standing up and pacing around the small space.

"Exactly! Just take the test, please. For me ?", she says looking at me with puppy dog eyes and I melt.

"Fine. I will do it.", I say and she smiles big and takes my hands pulling me to the bedroom. We enter the bathroom and follow every instructions written in the boxes.

"It says we have to wait for 5 minutes.", she says and I feel my eyes water.

"Hey ? What's wrong?", she asks getting closer and hugging me. I sob as I think of all the possibilities.

"I'm not ready for raising a child alone. I don't want to be a single mother and definitely don't want my child to grow up without a father. How will I-", she cuts me off rubbing my back gently.

"I will be here, CupCake. Don't think about it, okay? We will get through this together.", she says wiping my tears away and caressing my cheeks softly. We wait in silence until the phone interrupts us.

"You want to check?",she asks and I look at her with wide eyes and shake my head rapidly.

"No! You can look at it.", I say in a shaky voice. I see her take a deep breath before taking the test and looking at it.

"It said 1 line means negative and 2 lines positive, right?", she asks in a whisper and I facepalm.

"Yes! Now what does it say?", I ask impatiently.

"I-it's positive. Two lines.", she says and everything stops for a second. Two lines? This cannot be real.

"C-check t-the other o-ones.", I ask in broken voice tears flowing rapidly on my cheeks. She checks again and I see from her expression that all of them are the same. Please tell me that this a dream. Please
