"I’m sorry Dr JJ that I have to interrupt you while talking. But please if you invited here to tell that I was inseminated with Curtis Rodney’s sperm, I’m sorry but I have no interest in such topics.
I ca to the hospital for an insemination, I paid my bills in full and I got what I wanted. Whatever happens after that, it doesn’t concern at all.
I’m sorry if I sounded rude,but this child in my belly is mine exclusively. I don’t want to know anything else besides the fact that my baby is mine and mine alone" Lara declared and stood up, she was ready to leave.
"This isn’t your fault Lara. You paid in full. The services were rendered appropriately except that my assistant made a mistake in sample labelling. That singular mistake has just cost my practicing license and would possibly send soone else to jail.
I thought you could help. But don’t worry about it. And I’m sorry if I bother you" Dr JJ apologised and wore a forced smile.
She knows how important this pregnancy ant to her. She’d always wanted it and now that she has it, such a mistake happened. Not to ntion that she’s now divorced.
Dr JJ’S word kept lingering in Lara’s mind. The older lady’s words made it seem as if her future and career depends solely on her decision.
On her way ho, Lara ran into her childhood friend Kayla Davis. That’s the last person she’d expected to see in Michigan at that ti.
Though they’ve not been in close contact, she heard that she had settled in the UK and was deeply engrossed in romance with her boyfriend Joel Wood.
"Lara!!" Kayla exclaid, alighting from her car and rushing over to hold Lara in a suffocating hug. Her lousy nature has not been tad, despite many years having passed.
"Kayla Davis" Lara chid with excitent. How on earth can she envisage it that she would be crossing paths with Kayla in their city.
"I’ve missed you girlfriend. I couldn’t reach you. I t Mike Blake and he said you’re both divorced and he couldn’t give any information of where I could find you..." Kayla tattered.
Lara gnashed her teeth in hatred. That bastard could conveniently tell Kayla that they were divorced but certainly he wouldn’t tell her that he’s an asshole who she caught cheating on their matrimonial bed with her supposed friend.
"Yeah.." Was all Lara could respond to. How she hates that bastard.
"I’m happy I’ve found you again. I don’t know how I’m going to go about getting a new acquaintance in Michigan knowing that you’re still in this city" Kayla stuttered.
"I’m glad we t again. I thought you’re now in the UK doing so good stuff to yourself girly" Lara stated, looking at Kayla all over. She’s indeed not doing bad with herself.
"It’s a long story, girly. But where are you heading, let’s catch so fun" Kayla asked, smiling broadly. She’d missed Lara so much. She’d deliberately stayed away from her when she married that ugly dude.
She doesn’t know why love can sotis go blind. A beautiful woman like her ended up with that thing called Mike Blake and that wouldn’t have made her annoyed, since she was in love with him.
But refusing to get a job and remaining in the lilight just because her husband refuses her to work got her to stay away. Lara was a star back then during their university days. She has the best graduating grades and does excellently well academically and talent wise.
She let that brightness in her get dimd because she got married to that undeserving man.
Gosh!
She tried to persuade her against doing what Mike said but soon realised that Lara was seeing her as an intruder and as soone who hadn’t really fallen in love.
Now, they’re divorced. She was excited and she was jumping for joy, in fact dancing in her heart when Mike casually told her that Lara Edmund is no longer his wife and he doesn’t know anything about her whereabouts.
"I’m actually heading ho," Lara replied. Ho indeed, she heard herself whispering to herself. She really called that place a ho? But what else would she call it, that’s where she laid her head at night and stepped out in the morning.
"Fine. Hop in, let’s make up for lost ti and years of being separated from each other" Kayla nudged, going past her to hold the door.
Lara smiled. Kayla would never change. She’s always like that. She’ll make a suggestion and wouldn’t want you to decide to accept it or not, then she starts making moves imdiately.
She’s fun to be with. Such a classical lady.
She slid down into the copilot seat, and watched Kayla shut its door and walk over to take her place behind the steering. They soon set out. The excitent was all over Kayla. eting Lara was worth a fortune for her.
"I went to Granny’s house, I thought I would find you there. I discovered you don’t own that house anymore and granny is dead. God bless her soul..." Kayla explained, her hands, firmly on the steering wheel.
"Yeah, I lost that property to the mortgage. And grandma died around the sa period. It’s been a hard ti for ,Kayla. But I guess, I’m getting stronger by each passing day" Lara explained.
"I know what the feeling is like. An orphan, divorced, lost the only loved one you have left, then property gone also. It’s a terrible feeling Lara, and I know exactly what you’re going through" Kayla consoled.
She wished she’d t her during the period of mortgage seizing her property, she and Joel would have put heads together and helped her out.
Lara was such a sweet person back then. That’s why she kept getting annoyed when she hooked herself to that senseless dude. How on earth can soone be so ugly and also senseless?
That combination is the worst she’s ever seen.
"Thanks Kayla" Lara appreciated, her eyes welling up already for tears. But she’d promised herself that she’ll be strong henceforth for herself and her unborn baby.
Her hand subconsciously caressed her flat belly. Her baby is growing there. That’s the light that just brightened her dark tunnel of helplessness and despondency and yet, soone erged from the blue and wants to claim ownership of it....
"Are you hearing at all Lara?" Kayla asked, turning to glance at her briefly and concentrating on the steering wheel again. She saw that loneliness in her eyes. Despite being with her, she still felt lost in the middle of their conversation.
What has that asshole done to her? Has he ruined her happy spirit and left her in a delusional state? She silently gnashed her teeth. She wants to choke him.
"Sure..I..we are in the middle of a discussion" Lara stuttered. Did Kayla say sothing that she didn’t hear?
"What happened to you,Lara? I know one of the greatest mistakes you’ve ever made in this life was walking the aisle with that asshole surnad Blake.
I’m sorry but I hate him. I tried to warn you,I tried to make you see reasons why you should be an independent woman,but you wouldn’t listen to .
You let him toil with you. You gave yourself to him unreservedly and let him handle you like a puppy. And now, he’d got divorced with you and it seed to that you’re starting from scratch.
Why would you allow yourself to be treated like a piece of trash? That dude is so ugly and unpresentable and yet, he doesn’t love you half as much as you loved him. Why did you turn everyone else down and chose him?" Kayla cannot hide her irritation.
She’s never been a hypocrite. She says things exactly what she feels or thinks about it. She cannot suppress her urge to scold her friend for falling in love with that asshole.
"What happened to was love," Lara blurted. That’s the plague that stucked on her. And it’s unfortunate that it plagued her heart and paralyses her sense of reasoning as well.
Kayla was dazed.
She glanced at her friend briefly and asked "What did you say happened to you again?"
