Chapter Seven
The drive to his fathers' house wasn't that long… but it felt like forever with just the anticipation alone. I was so worried that they would reject me or say that Jacob was crazy for wanting to marry someone out of the blue like this. His father also knew my father. My dad takes his car to his shop and tells all of his clients that it's the best body shop around here. I was worried that his father would pull the plug and call my dad... that his twenty five year old son was dating a seventeen year old. But Jacob did say that women in his tribe are considered adults at sixteen and can marry. Maybe he won't see my age as a problem. It will only be a problem for my family.
I started tapping my foot in the car. Jacob looked down at my thigh vibrating.
"Baby… calm down. Don't worry about anything."
"But Jake…"
"Nope." He cut me off. "I'm not going to let you worry. I love you and that's what matters."
"Your dad could tell my father," I rushed out.
He sighed.
"No… my dad won't do that. He knows that your father won't be as accepting right away. Now your dad might be mad at him if he finds out that he knew about us before hand… but…"
"Oh I can't wait until all of this is over… and everyone is happy and can see why we're doing this."
"We're doing this because we are in love with each other," he said lovingly.
"Yes… we are."
Jacob reached for my hand and kissed it.
"Baby… it's gonna be worth it in the end… trust me on that."
"I do trust you."
"Ok… well relax then Ness."
He slowed down at a stop sign and leaned over to kiss me.
"Ummm," I sighed.
"I love you," he breathed.
"I love you too."
Jacob looked up and down the road for any cars then accelerated. It took only a few more minutes until we reached his father's house. He drove up on the dirt road and parked beside a silver Chevy Avalanche and a black Silverado.
"My sister and her husband are here. That's their truck," he said pointing at the Silverado.
Jacob got out of the truck and walked around and opened my door and helped me out. I wondered would he still do the same if he had a car that was easy to get out… or if he was just that much of a gentleman. He gave me a quick hug before we started walking up to the house. He knocked on the door and Rachel answered the door. She was even prettier than the pictures that I saw of her earlier today. Well she looked just like Rebecca… so I guess they were both prettier than the pictures. Jacob told me that his other sister moved to Hawaii. I guess I'll meet her someday.
"Hi Jacob… Hi Nessie," she said.
"Hi Rach," Jacob said. "As you know this is my girl."
"Oh it's so nice to meet you… come in please."
"Hi… it's nice to meet you too," I said smiling.
We walked inside the house and I glanced around nervously.
"Billy this is Nessie," Jacob said to his father.
"It so nice to finally meet you. I heard so much about you for years. Now it's mainly how you stole my son's heart. But that's ok… you seem to make him extremely happy. Welcome to the family."
"Thanks… nice to meet you too."
Wow he's so nice. I wish my family would be this nice to Jacob. I seriously doubt their first encounter would go as smooth as this. "Come have a seat," Rachel said.
Another man walked in the room from the hall way.
"Honey… they're here. Nessie this is my husband Paul."
"Hi Nessie… nice to finally meet you."
"You too Paul."
He seemed nice. Jacob warned me about him being a pain in the ass. He didn't seem cocky? We all sat down in the living room. I was so nervous… I hoped that I hid it well. Jacob hugged my side and kissed my forehead.
"Relax Love… no need to be nervous around my family... they won't bite."
Paul snapped his teeth and smirked at me. "Well I can't vouch for Paul," he chuckled.
"I hope you're hungry I cooked salmon, rice, and broccoli," Rach said.
"We didn't eat yet," Jacob said.
"Oh great," she said excited.
Shortly we all sat down to eat. Every once in a while Jacob would squeeze my thigh to try to get me to relax. His family seemed nice. I was just so worried of what they would think of me. I never felt so pale before. I know that was silly. I'm sure they didn't care that I was white. They seemed genuinely accepting of our relationship. They asked me so many questions… I felt like I was on a quiz show hoping that all of my answers were correct. By the end of the dinner they knew all about my interest and how I grew up. Jacob's dad told me not to worry about him telling my father. I guess he understood how he would see it. We all went in the living room and I noticed an acoustic guitar in the corner.
"Oh… who plays the guitar?" I asked
"All of us… Jacob too," Rach said.
"Really?"
Jacob squinted his eyes at his sister like he didn't want that to get out.
"Why didn't you tell me you knew how to play the guitar?" I asked.
"It never came up," he said nonchalantly.
"Oh he's just as bashful as he was when he was a kid," Rach said.
"I haven't played in years... I may suck now," Jacob said.
"Has he sung for you at least?"
Jacob rolled his eyes.
"You can sing too," I said softly.
"Oh Jacob… please sing for her," Rach begged.
"Boy... ya really know how to put someone on the spot," he groaned.
"Well what else can you do that I don't know of?" I asked.
"Umm… I can play basketball."
I chuckled.
"I would hope so as tall as you are. It would be a sin if you couldn't," I said.
Rach got up and picked up the guitar and handed it to the man of many secrets.
"God Rachel," he scoffed. It was the first time I heard him say his sisters full name. He must be a little frustrated. It was cute watching him squirm. Paul had a silly grin on his face. "Are we embarrassing you?" Paul asked sarcastically.
Jacob smiled at me.
"If you really want me to play for you I will," he said.
"Well of course I wanna hear you play."
"Ok," he sighed.
He cleared his throat and started strumming the guitar. He sounded great for someone who had a nerve to say that he may suck. Before I knew it a tear came to my eye. My Baby was… talented. He started singing and I almost melted in the sofa. My God his voice was so beautiful. He sang a song I wasn't familiar with… but the chorus I will remember forever. She moves like sea breeze. Swirling around me. The fragrance that she leaves hangs in the air. Soft like a whisper… she's calling me to her. These eyes have seen the most beautiful dream.
By the time he finished the song I had multiple tracks of tears streaming down my face. He softly smiled at me and put the guitar down and hugged me.
"That was so beautiful Jacob."
"Thanks… sorry I didn't tell you I could sing."
"Yeah... you have a lot of explaining to do."
He chuckled.
"I promise… you will know everything about me by the end of the night… ok."
I nodded my head yes.
We stayed at his father's house for around an hour after he sang to me. Then we headed back to his house. I really didn't feel like going to a late night movie. I wanted to be in his arms. We agreed to go to the movies on another night. Plus he promised me that I would know everything about him by the end of the night. When we got back to his house I changed into one of his T-shirts and he put a pair of pajama pants on. We sat on the sofa in each other's arms and just talked all night long. I didn't even realize the time until I looked at the window because I noticed a bird flying by. The sun was out. I looked at the clock and it was 7:38.
"My God Jacob… we've been up all night."
"Yeah... Mmm we have," he said softly.
He started to show signs of being tired and rubbed his eye with his hand. When he put his hand down I kissed his eyes. Then rested my forehead on his with my eyes closed. I started rubbing his stomach and he softly moaned. He kissed my jaw then kissed my lips. I opened my eyes to look at him and he looked at me like he was hungry. I let my hand slip from his stomach to his dick and he was already hard. I gently squeezed it from outside of his pajamas and his breathing hitched. He pushed me back on to my back slowly and kissed me. He slid his pajamas down some and ripped my panties off.
"Jacob… you have to stop doing that," I moaned.
"Sue me," he whispered.
"I just bought those… They cost twenty bucks."
"So take me to small claims court then," he mumbled then attacked my neck with kisses. Then he pulled away and put his pajama pants under my butt and returned to kissing me.
I guess I quickly forgave him because his tongue was driving me crazy. How many pairs of underwear does he owe me now? Oh I can't even think about that now because…
Jacob slid his dick in me and I gasped. He started moving his hips in a circular motion and thrusting harder when he was centered.
"Oh this feels so good… it has to be illegal," I moaned.
"Well… it actually is Baby. Well at least… for twelve more days," he breathed.
"Oh… I can't wait… for my birthday… so I can marry you," I tried my best to say through the thrust that were bringing me so close to orgasm.
"I can't wait either."
Jacob grabbed my hair tightly with one hand and squeezed my waist with the other and started fucking me faster.
He fucked me until we both climaxed. It felt so amazing. We lay limp on the sofa as we tried to gain our composures.
"Nayeli," he breathed.
"Hmm… what did you say?"
"Nayeli… it means I love you in my language."
"Oh… I love you too. Will you teach me your language someday?"
"Of course I will Baby."
Then Jacob said a long statement in his native language that I would have trouble trying to repeat.
"That means I want us to have a happy long life together as husband and wife."
"Oh… that sounded so good."
Then he said something else in his native tongue that was much shorter… but it sounded so sexy.
"What does that mean?"
"That means are you thirsty?" he chuckled.
"Oh… well it sounded so good. No…no… I'm ok. I want you to stay inside me."
"I'll stay inside you as long as you want."
He started to kiss me and I softly moaned. After a minute I felt his dick getting hard again.
"Oh my God… you get hard so fast."
"Oh… it's one of my talents."
"And you have so many… will you sing for me again soon?"
"Sure Baby," he moaned as he stoked deeper inside me.
"Oh Jacob… you feel so good. I wish you could know… how good you make me feel… ohhh."
"Aw Baby… if it's anything close to how good my dick feels inside your pussy… I know… I know Baby."
He picked up his speed and within no time we were both coming again.
"Jacob!" I screamed. I was so much more sensitive this time.
"Oh my God!" he yelled.
"Nayeli," I moaned. I was glad that I got the pronunciation right.
"Me too Baby… me too," he breathed in my ear.
We held each other for a while then we got up. His pajama pants were covered with his come when it seeped out of me. He picked them up and balled them in his hands. We walked to the bathroom to take a shower and he tossed his pajamas in the hamper. I asked him to make the water a little cool to help me wake up… he didn't mind. I got dressed and he asked me if I was ok to drive to Nicole's. I told him I was fine and just need some coffee. He made a face at me and it dawned on me that I shouldn't drink coffee anymore if we planned on making a baby.
"Oh… well not coffee. Um… I'm fine."
"Well I'll drive you there if you want. I don't want you driving when you're tired Baby."
"I'm ok."
"I'll call a cab and drive your car there. Then take the cab back here. Honey I really don't want you driving when you're tired."
"Well aren't you tired too?"
"I can handle not getting any sleep… I'm used to that. I don't think you are. Please just do it for me ok."
"Oh… well ok. Thanks."
Jacob called a cab and it arrived at his house in twenty minutes. He got in my car and followed us. The cab driver was kinda creepy because he kept looking back at me through the rear view mirror. I felt so uncomfortable and just flipped through pictures on my phone. I thought about Jacob's family and how warm and welcoming they were. There is no way that it will go down like that if I tell my parents that I'm dating a twenty five year old that's turning twenty six in a few months. I called Nicole and told her I was on my way.
When we arrived at Nicole's house Jake parked my car and asked the cab driver to wait for him.
"You ok Baby?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little creeped out by peeping Tom over there."
"Oh? Wha… What did he do something?"
"Just looked at me too much through his rear view mirror." I should have kept that to myself. I didn't know how jealous Jacob could get.
"Oh… well you're beautiful. If I was a cab driver… I could see how hard it would be to concentrate on anything but you. But he didn't say anything creepy to you… did he?"
"No he didn't talk that much."
"Oh… ok. Well meet me back at my house around 5 pm for dinner."
"Ok… I'll be there. I'm gonna miss you."
"Baby… I'm gonna miss you too."
He leaned down and kissed me. I felt like putting up my middle finger at the cab driver without Jake knowing… but I chose not to.
"I'll see ya later tonight... ok Baby."
"Ok… I love you Jake."
"I love you too Ness."
I walked up the steps and noticed how sore my body was. I really just need a few days rest if I was smart. But I'm pretty sure it won't be any day soon. Nicole opened the door once I reached her porch.
"So how was your night? Did you survive his family?" she asked.
"His family was so sweet. Oh my God… I just love them."
"Wow you look beat. I wonder what you've been doing all night?"
I walked passed her and went into her house. She spun around and walked in the door.
"So… you pulled an all nighter huh?"
"I'm just so tired. I really didn't sleep last night."
"I guess not… having him next to you."
"No… not like that. We actually only did it right before I came over here. We stayed up talking all night".
"Wow... that's even better… I guess."
"Yes it was. I got to know him on a different level. And I'm in love with him even more now. And oh my God. He played the guitar and sang for me at his father's house!"
"Really!"
"Yes… and he could sing too."
"Wow… what did he sing?"
"I have no clue. It was about sea breeze… and wind and hair?"
"Oh… it might have been Tyrone Wells. I'll pull it up on You Tube to see if that's what he sang to you. I'm so happy for you May. You seem like you're glowing."
"I feel like I'm glowing," I chuckled.
"Maybe Jacob is some kind of mutant and you feel like your glowing because you're filled with his neon sp…"
"Eww come on," I cut her off.
"Ha ha! What else would describe his height and level of romance? He can't be human."
Nicole giggled and I had to join in. She sat down at her laptop and typed in a few things. I heard the music to what Jacob was playing for me last night.
"Yeah that sounds like it," I said excited. "Who is this again?"
"Tyrone Wells."
"I never heard of him."
The lyrics came in and I confirmed that this was the song that he sang.
"I like cried when he was singing to me."
"In front of his family?"
"Yeah… I couldn't really hide it. I swear he sounded just as good… like he needs to be on the radio or something."
"Wow… that was so sweet that he sang to you."
"He is like the sweetest and most masculine thing all wrapped in one. God… I love him so much."
Nicole looked like a light bulb went off in her head.
"You know we need to go to Port Angeles today."
"Why… what are you thinking about?"
"Well we can't buy what I was thinking about at any of our local stores. It would cause too much gossip because the town is so small and it would get back to your mother in minutes."
"What in the world are you talking about? Get what?"
"An ovulation test."
"An ovulation test?"
"Yes… so you know which days would be best for you to get pregnant. Even though I'm pretty sure you would be fucking everyday anyway."
"Oh… I guess I could get one. If I'm ovulating now… that would mean that our last days wasn't practice."
"Hmm… that would be something... if you were like two days pregnant."
"I have to buy more underwear come to think of it. I hardly have anything sexy. And my small supply of Victoria secrets have been almost depleted thanks to Jacob's lack of patience. He ripped a few pairs off of me within in the last days."
"Whaaaat."
"Oh… I didn't mention that."
Her eyes grew big as she smiled at me.
"So I guess we really need to make this trip then huh?" Nicole said. "Well I'm wide awake… but if you want to take a nap that's fine with me."
"I'm kinda hungry though."
She looked at me strangely.
"Hungry like you want to eat for two?" she said grinning.
"No… hungry like I just want some cereal… God."
"Hey… I'm just saying. Yall been fuckin' like rabbits every since you met. I wouldn't be surprised…"
"What if I'm knocked up already?"
"You said it not me."
It was a lovely thought though. We both want a child so bad. I never even knew how much I wanted a child until I met him. Yeah I always saw myself as a mother someday. But being with Jacob… it just brought that idea up front and center. His manliness aura just takes over me and I want him to impregnate me… like I'm in heat or something. It's like he speaks to my womb every time he looks at me in a certain way. Crazy huh? He has a weird affect on me. I don't know if I should call it weird. But whatever it is… it's indescribable. I just have to leave it up to fate… because my heart is controlling me now. Hmmm... pregnant already? Wow… our babies would be so adorable.
"Earth to May… Come back and join the conversation," Nicole said getting my full attention now.
"Oh… oh... sorry. I was caught up with thinking about… babies."
"Well you had a smile on your face the entire time."
"Oh."
"Have you thought of what's going to happen if you do get pregnant soon… I mean with school."
"I will still go to school."
"Yeah... the first semester shouldn't be a problem… but after the baby is born I'm sure you want to stay home and take care of him for a few months."
"Hmm… Yeah. I could hold off a semester or two."
"Just don't give up your dreams though. I see a lot of people do that and get too focused on their man's dreams."
"What?" I muttered.
Nicole sighed.
"I know you're all gun ho on the marriage and making babies. Don't get me wrong. I love you and I support you. I just fear that you're going to let school not be a main priority and may just have it as an idea and not a goal."
"Oh."
"After the first kid… you may have another one and before you know it your credits from your first semester have expired and your turning thirty."
"Don't worry about me. I'll finish school. But what if…"
"What if what?"
"I don't know… the thought just left me."
"Bull shit… what if what?"
"What if my goals did change from being a teacher to being a house wife?"
Nicole slightly cringed. I can see why. She's so independent and always had her head set on straight about what she would do for her future without ever including a man. She never swooned about marriage or any of that stuff. Yes she wants a steady boyfriend... and maybe even a husband someday. But she is dead set on not letting anything slow down her graduation date or career.
"Are you saying that you would just give up your dreams about being a teacher if he asked you to be his sl… I mean stay at home."
"Were you about to say slave?" I spit out.
"Sorry… that was a slip of the tongue."
"Well my mom stayed at home to raise us… there was nothing wrong with that. My dad had enough money to take care of us. My mom was happy the entire time she did it too."
I was starting to get frustrated and wanted to change the subject before this got really heated. I knew she meant well. But if I wanted to do that I shouldn't feel attacked by my best friend. Is she calling my mom a slave?"
"I'm sorry May. It looks like I struck a nerve there."
"No… well yes. My mom wasn't a slave. She loved taking care of us and my father."
"Yes... I can't argue with that. But her goals were to have a family and take care of you guys. I don't think she saw past high school from what she told me. She couldn't wait to be married and have kids. She loved kids so much... she adopted one when she thought she couldn't have more."
I was silent. And Nicole's dominant personality would crush me in most arguments. I didn't want to argue. I was too tired to hold up my own. I walked in the kitchen and took out the milk.
"May… Honey… are you mad at me?"
"No… just hungry."
Nicole followed me into the kitchen. I looked at the date on the milk to make sure it was still fresh.
"You're making sure it's not close to expiring… that what I'm trying to do for your goals Hun… that's all," Nicole said in a defeated tone.
"And I love you for that Nicole… I really do."
I sat the milk down on the counter and gave her a hug. She squeezed me real tight and a tear came to my eye. I don't have a big sister… but she is the closest thing to one. I love her as if she were my family… my sister. I sniffled as I felt the mucus escape my nose. She pulled away from me to look at me.
"Aww May... don't cry. I'm just being my overprotective self. If anything came out harsh… I'm sorry."
"No… don't apologize. You did nothing wrong. I know I must seem like a crazed love sick kid to you now. I know you are wiser than me… don't let it go to your head though," I said letting a smirk flash on my sulking face. "You are my big sister and just want what's best for me. Thank you for that."
"I know you're madly in love with him. And I really feel that he loves you too. But I have a feeling that you will just toss it all up in the air… and the only teacher meeting you would be in… is a meeting when you go to your kids school to talk with their teachers."
"Well if that ever happens… it will happen for the best reason ever."
Nicole raised her eyebrow at me.
"It would be for my family. Ya know if they needed me to be there to raise them."
I wiped the tear that finally fell from my eye. Surprisingly more started to fall. I wasn't sad or anything. I guess scared and overwhelmed. I think things just started to hit me one by one. Things I didn't allow to occupy my thoughts. I guess I was subconsciously holding up a shield so that I could get through this… because I wanted this more than anything. Nicole held me in her arms again.
"Sweetie… it's ok. I know you're scared. You're like a brave explorer going off to a new world. You don't know what to expect… but you go through with it anyway because you want to know what's out there hoping for the best."
"Great Nicole. You just had me picture Christopher Columbus coming to America. Ya know the whole start of the Indian genocide."
"Oh I'm sorry… wrong analogy," she quickly said.
"Well I know what you were trying to get at. But… well… I trust him. I have to put all of my faith in him for this to be ok; the quickness of everything. It's dizzying… but I love him that much to feel off balance… 'cause I will bet my life that he won't let me crash to the ground."
"So in other words… Jacob is your parachute."
"You could say that. But I'm not crazy enough to jump out of an airplane… just crazy enough to marry someone I just met behind my parents back."
"Oh you're crazy alright," she said chuckling.
"Crazy in love!" I said.
Then I started doing the boodie dance from Beyonce's video. She joined in and we both died laughing holding our stomachs. It was normal for us to crack up like this. We were both silly as hell. In the mist of laughing I was so glad that she was my best friend… that she let me tag along with her when I was clearly not her age as we were younger. She took me in as her little play sister. But she is such a big part of my life… and I will never forget that.
After taking a nap for a few hours we both ate a big breakfast and headed to Port Angeles. It started to drizzle but we both had umbrellas in the car. Nicole's car was awesome. Her father bought her a Nissan Maxima. You didn't even need a key to start it. It had a push button start. Again… I thought of my used Mazda and how much I loved it for bringing Jacob to my house. I didn't mind my car at all. We stopped at a mall and we browsed through the sexy lingerie. I was so nervous looking around as if someone would spot me and tell my mom. Silly huh? My mother knew I wasn't a virgin. But she didn't know that I had a boyfriend… or a reason to look this sexy.
"Hey this is niiiice," Nicole said holding up a black crotchless teddy."
"Oh… that is cute. How much is it?"
"Never mind," she quickly said as she looked at the price tag.
I looked at the price tag and started calculating how much money I had in my head. Then I just figured I would just spend my money on panties. I didn't want to be broke over one item of clothing… if you could call this clothing. He may rip it off or something. Then I would be pissed and it would ruin the mood.
"I would get more bang for my bucks if I just got some sexy panties."
She snickered.
"Yeah… I'm pretty sure you'll get a few bangs out of just buying panties."
"Yeah," I giggled.
"So I assume he's better than John right."
"My God yes. I feel like I should go to John and smack him for calling that sex."
"You said he was really big… does it hurt all of the time?"
"Um… it did the first day. But the pleasure was bigger than the pain. If he were any bigger… I would be disabled. But he doesn't… well… he doesn't put it all in most of the time."
"Really."
"Um… a few times he tried and I screamed like a banshee. I thought I was about to die. Or have him jack up my cervix for good."
"Hmm I guess once you go brown… you won't come back around."
"How corny."
"Well I couldn't say once you go Black…"
I giggled.
"Hey… I wonder if most Indians are big like him?" she mused.
"Don't know I haven't done a poll yet," I said sarcastically.
"Oh… you've done a pole alright."
"God… is your mind never on automatic spit out something nasty mode?"
"No... that's my programming. Born and bred Italian."
"I don't think being Italian has anything to do with it. My mom's half Italian… your mind is just in the gutter."
"You're a closet freak Hon. You probably think of a lot of things… but just don't say it."
I thought of the first day when I met Jacob and asked if he wanted something to drink. Then in my head I thought Do you want something to eat like me. Ok… I can see where she's coming from. I probably do that a lot. I wonder if I held back any perverted thoughts with Jacob once we started dating and it was ok for me to say those things? I guess I would have to get more creative than saying fuck me please… even though that gets an excellent response.
"You're poetic May. Just spice your thoughts with sex and you'll have him drooling."
I smiled at her.
"Hey… have you've written him a poem yet?"
"No… my minds been so busy... haven't had the time to relax and think."
"Well write him a sexy poem. This way he can keep it and it will be practice for your brain to get freakyyyy."
"That's a good idea," I said giggling.
"Hey what about these… and they're only twenty bucks," she said holding up a pair of red panties.
"Oh these panties are cute!"
"Hey… and they come in purple too."
I snatched the purple pair out of her hands.
"These are mine!"
"Ok… don't rip my hand off," she said jokingly.
We both picked out a few more underwear. I was happy with my selection. Hopefully Jacob would be just as pleased. I passed a pair of black high heels that I fell in love with, but I didn't have the money to buy it. Plus I wasn't going to use the credit card my dad gave me to buy it. Didn't want this store's name coming up on his statement. That would be a quick death. But really… a statement verses finding out that I'm married ... The guess what I'm hitched revelation will trump the shoes. Plus he won't get his statement 'til after I'm married. Oh what the hell. These shoes are sexy as crap. I'm getting them.
We left the store with bags of promise. Nicole had her new sexy underwear, and I had my sexy panties and a pair of high pumps that I wouldn't dare ware outside. These are strictly for the bedroom. Plus I think I might fall flat on my face if I had to wear them more than five minutes. I never even wore heels this high. When I tried them on… I felt like I was on stilts.
"Well that was fun," Nicole said.
"Yeah… we're ready for battle now," I replied.
We put the bags in the car and drove to the nearest pharmacy. I passed the condoms and huffed. No need for those. Nicole picked up a pack of regular and magnum. I looked at her strangely.
"What… I may meet one of Jacob giant friends. This is a just in case preparation. Plus I'm out of condoms anyway. I don't want to be left out there if something ever did come up. I'm horny as hell. It's been close to four months."
"Oh… how did you ever survive?" I said sarcastically.
Four months is like blinking my eyes. Well that's because John was all I had to reference. Now not having sex with Jacob for four months… I would be put in a mental institution.
Nicole rolled her eyes at me and purposely grabbed another pack of extra-large condoms and flung it into her basket and gave me a now there look. We walked further down the aisle. I picked up a Clear Blue Easy pregnancy test.
"No you need an ovulation test. It's too soon to take a pregnancy test. It won't pick up on anything even if you are pregnant. You need this one."
She handed me an ovulation test.
"This one will tell you what days you're ovulating."
"Ok… but I still want both so I don't have to come back."
"Well this one only has one test in it."
She snatched it from me and picked up a First Response box.
"This one has two test in it. I'll buy them both for you."
"You don't have to…"
"But I want too. Plus you spent all of your money on freaky draws. And may I say that was very bad ass of you to charge those pumps to your dad's card. He asked you to use it for emergencies and things you needed."
"Um… This is considered a need."
"You got guts… that's all I have to say."
"Well by the time he gets his statement… I would already be married. He'll be thinking of killing me for another reason. Either way… I will still have these sexy shoes to make my future husband happy for many of nights.
She paid for my things and we headed to the car. It wasn't raining anymore and I was glad about that. When we got back to her house we made turkey sandwiches and ate sour cream chips.
"Ok the anticipation is killin' me. Will you take the damn test already," she said frustrated.
I popped a chip in my mouth.
"I was planning on taking it after I finished eating," I mumbled.
"The foods not going anywhere."
"Ok… I'll take it now."
I wiped my hands on my napkin and got up and walked to the dining room table where she left her bag. I pulled it out and looked at the box for a while.
"It only works when you pee on it," she said sarcastically.
"I figured that much. I was just reading the outside of the box."
Nicole huffed and got off of the sofa and snatched the box out of my hand. "Follow me," she ordered. I followed her to the bathroom. "I never thought I would say this to a woman… but pull your panties down." I smirked at her. She opened the box and pulled out one of the test. "All you have to do is pee on it. I'll read the directions as you pee." I reached out and took the test from her hand and ripped it open. I had to pee too because I held it just for this purpose.
"It says here you can take it at anytime of the day. Two lines will show if you are ovulating. It says you will have 24-36 hrs to do the deed to get prego if you see the two lines."
"Well how long does it take the test to work?"
"Only five minutes."
"Wow… only five minutes."
I flushed the toilet pulled up my clothes and placed the test on the sink. I washed my hands and dried them off on the hand towel.
"You can finish eating now… no sense of you just staring at it for five minutes."
That's exactly what I was planning to do. I looked up at her and gave her a look that I wanted to stare at it. "Come on… sit down on the sofa and relax… ok," she begged. I sighed and went in the living room. Of course I couldn't finish my sandwich. I was too nervous to eat. She followed me and sat on the opposite side of the coach and placed the test on the end table.
"Oh you brought it with you."
"Yeah... finish eating."
"I can't eat… too nervous." I held my hands out and they were trembling to my surprise. "See what I mean."
"Aww Sweetie…. relax. You only have like… three minutes left."
I groaned and flew my body back on the sofa and pouted like a kid. This was killing me. I wanted to fast forward the next few minutes. Actually… I wanted to fast forward to my wedding night.
"I'm just going to keep my eyes closed for three minutes then."
"Ok I'll give you the results soon."
As I kept my eyes closed I prayed for happiness. Not just for myself but for my family and friends. I asked God to give me this only if he thought it was right. I know I'm doing this out of order… but I do plan to marry. I wonder what my great grandfather would think about this… being as religious as he is. At least when he finds out… he would just know that I was married. He won't have to know about me trying to get pregnant on purpose or sneaking around my parents back. Well he may find out about the sneaking behind my parents back since it's going to be a surprise to them that I got married to our mechanics son. I thought of how happy Jacob makes me and how I'm so lucky to have him in my life. My eyes started to sting as my tear ducts were called to participate in having me break down from anticipation. I really needed to hold Jacob's hand right now… but my only option was to sit still and listen to my breathing, racing heartbeat, and the sound of the TV. "May…" Nicole softly called out. I slowly opened my eyes hoping that the next words she spoke had to do with my body being able to make a baby with the man I was so deeply in love with. I turned to look at her and she had a gentle smile on her face. Hopefully this is something that she wouldn't joke around on me with. "I see two lines… You're ovulating now."
My heart felt like it wanted to jump out of my throat.
"Really… for real?"
"Yes really… see for yourself."
She moved closer to me and handed me the test. I covered my mouth as my eyes fixed on the two pink lines. I know it was just dye mixed with hormones to make the color to appear… but it was so beautiful. My God… I was ovulating. Jacob and I could have just really made a baby last night and this morning.
"Wow," I faintly said.
"Oh my God May. I guess tonight after Jacob makes you dinner he would be making something else too… that's if you're not pregos already."
I softly chuckled.
"Well I'm glad that I know. I have work to do… I guess."
"What time are you going back over Jacob's house for dinner?"
"Wow I didn't notice that it was that late," I said as I looked at the clock. "I actually should be leaving soon. I told him that I would be there around five."
"Well don't forget your new underwear."
"Shit… I have to put a pair on."
"Yes… the ceremonial pair of draws! Aka baby making draws," Nicole said being overdramatic.
I hopped up and grabbed my bag and took it with me to the bathroom to freshen up and change. I brushed my teeth and put some eyeliner on. When I came back into the living room Nicole hugged me and told me that she loved me. I told her that I would call her later tonight or texed her if my brother was snooping around. I walked to my car caught up in my day dreams. If I was lucky… this week I could wind up pregnant. I was on my own little personal mission… even though Jacob obviously shared the same mission. This was a task that I didn't mind doing. Making a baby was strenuous work… but it was the most enjoyable hard work two people could apply themselves too.
