The ride had gone smoothly after that. I installed a training place in the corner of my room. My wildest dreams come true in a corner. We were now on day two of our trip. Nelly still hates me, and I'm okay with that. I don't care what she thinks. I practiced my combos. I was successful every time. I did not stop until the sweat that had been tracking down my face, turned into what looked like I had just take a shower. I headed to the fridge to get water. I see Vlad. "Hey," I say. He looks at me.
"Um... What happened to you?," He asked. I looked at him confused. He gestured at my whole body. I realized I had over done it. I look at him sheepishly.
"Training has gotten the better of me," I say, letting out a laugh. His eyes widen.
"Over done it is an understatement!," He excalims,"You look like you have just gotten out of the pool." I shoot him a look. He grins. I scold at him. He smiles wider. I roll my eyes and grab a water. As I walk to my room I could hear him laughing. I see Lissa in my room. She looks at me. She looks angry. I look at her.
"What the matter," I ask. She scolds at me.
"I didn't realize it at first, but taking one look at your aura I could tell now that you lied to me," She says. I look at her nervously.
"What about?," I ask. She grows even more upset.
"You are pregnant Rose," Lissa states. I look at the ground. BUSTED! I look around the room, then back at her.
"Alright, I lied. Lissa tell me what I was supposed to do. I was scared as hell. Do you think I want a baby now. Maybe I wanted to have a baby with Vlad, and maybe I want to sleep with him, but I had not even considered that until I found out I was having a child," I say.
"Why didn't you tell me?," She asks.
"I didn't want you to worry. I'm supposed to protect you. That's pretty hard when you hear someone yelling 'don't hurt the baby' and 'be careful', and having someone rub your stomach," I say. She shakes her head in disbelief.
"Rose, I would never do that to you. Your my best friend. I can't believe you would think that," She says. "Well, hormones get the better of me sometimes," I say.
"Whhy are you keeping this from Vlad. He should know! He's the father," Lissa says. ''No, Lis. He can't. I just don't feel like it's the right time," I say. She looks at me worried. I look away from her. I just can't tell him. It's not the right time. I don't want to rush anything. i have to think these things through. I have to consider the possibilities. All the possibilities. I look at Lissa. She was in a very deep thought. I let the bond get the best of me, and I started snooping around in her private thoughts. She was thinking about how this would affect my life. She was possibly considering telling Vlad herself. Then, she thought about it some more, and decided not to tell Vlad. She would promise to keep it our secret, which is what I want foe the time being. It was not like I was waiting till my water broke to tell Vlad about the baby. That would possibly end in disaster, which was not what I needed considering the circumstances. I pull out of Lissas' thought, and presume to my own. I look at Lissa with hope filled eyes, and an award winning smile that read I-am-your-best-friend-so-please-don't-tell-Vlad. She sighed really hard I though I heard a house of straw, and a house of sticks fall down.
"Ok," She says.
"Ok what?," I asked.
"Ok I will keep your secret," She says.
"Yay, thanks," I say.
"Don't yay me yet," She says dreadfully.
"Why?," I ask.
"You still have to tell Vlad," She says.
"Right," I say.
"I'm giving you a week to tell him or else," She says.
"Or else what?," I ask.
"Don't make me say it," She pleads.
"Say what?," I ask.
"You know what?," She says.
"Really Lissa, I don't," I remrk.
"Or else I'll tell him," She says. Face bomb. Back the truck up. Lissa's threatening me.
"You are really threatening me?," I ask.
"I'm sorry," and with that she walks away. I stand stunned at what has just happened.
