Chapter 3 (Katie)
I fucking love being at Uni. Im so glad to finally be living on my own. Ok so its not exactly far away from home and my twin sister lives in the halls next door to mine but thats beside the point. No parentals to stop me doing whatever the fuck i want to do, just me and my baby boy.
I hate lying to Emily about it but i know she wouldn't understand, non of those fuckers would. For once in my life i'm really genuinely happy and i don't want anyone to spoil it.
Freshers week has been mental and i know Katie, Effy and Panda are all getting a bit suspicious about the fact that i haven't shagged anyone yet. well anyone that they know of. They may not believe it but i've changed and so has he. Fair enough he still acts like a complete and utter wanker from time to time and there are days when i want to kill him. But then there are the days where he treats me like a princess and he's so sweet and romantic but i know for a fact that if i told any of the gang about it they just wouldn't believe me. They just don't see side of him that I see.
Shit i've got nothing to wear, I'm supposed to be meeting him in 15 minutes at our usual place and i am nowhere near being ready. I know that Emily has a brand new dress that would be perfect for me to wear but i can't ask her without it turning into the fucking spanish inquisition. oh fuck it, i need that dress.
I press the button for the lift and i'm suprised when the doors open and inside is my twin sister beaming at me holding the very dress i want to borrow.
"Thought you could wear this on your date" she just keeps grinning at me like a bloody cheshire cat and i know there's no point in even trying to deny it now
"how did you know?"
"well for starters you've spent the last 8 weeks walking round like a lovesick puppy, that and pandora heard you on the phone to him this morning" Fucking hell Panda, i really need to have a word with that flatmate of mine. I gesture to Emily for her to follow me back into the flat. She hands the dress to me and closes the door. I run into my bedroom and make myself look as good as possible. I pin my fringe back off my face because he always tells me how he likes my hair like that. I was so right, this dress is fucking sexy. I walk into the kitchen to see Emily still grinning but this time staring at her phone.
"now who's lovesick?" she pokes her tongue out at my teasing remark "take it thats from lovergirl"
"yes as a matter of fact it is, but i can talk to her later, right now i want you to tell me who your seeing"
"Ems come on its none of your business"
"Its not Freddie is it" she asks me very bluntly and i can't help but feel a little bit offended at her question
"why the fuck would it be with Freddie, he's with Effy, you know one of my best mates if you haven't noticed"
"alright i'm sorry, i just had to ask, so who is it then, why can't you tell me" shit she deserves the truth
"ok ok i'll tell you but your not going to like it and to be quite honest i don't give a fuck cause i'm happy" she smiles at my revelation "its Cook" the smile drops her face and is replaced by a look of pure shock
"What? you're fucking joking right?"
"oh i knew you wouldn't understand" i get up and walk towards the door but she runs infront of me blocking my path
"you realise he's a complete and utter cunt don't you"
"he's not Ems, honestly he's changed, we both have"
"oh i'll bet that what he wants you to think, Katie can't you see he's using you" I can feel myself getting angrier by the second
"he wouldn't do that to me, and besides i'm old enough to look after myself" i push past her and walk out the front door into a very confused Pandora
"oh hi Katie, whats wrong"
"just fucking leave me alone, oh and next time, keep your fucking nose out of my business" I push past her and press the button for the lift.
"Katie" fuck sake i wish she'd just leave it "Katie look at me" i turn to face Emily and i can see that she is truly concerned for me, but she really doesn't need to be "i just don't want to see you get hurt"
"well its too late to worry about that Ems" she looks at me confused "come on, you of all people should know that you can't help who you fall for" she looks absolutely gobsmacked as i step into the lift. i press the button for the ground floor, and i'm wishing that i can make everyone see what a great guy James Cook really is deep down.
"alright babe" i look around at the sound of his voice and smile as i see him walking towards me with a big bunch of purple tulips in his hands, my favourite flowers. He walks straight up to me and gives me a soft and gentle kiss. I smile into the kiss and as he pulls away he hands me the flowers.
"Cook there beautiful, but how did you pay for them, tulips are expensive"
"don't you worry bout that Katiekins" he takes my hand as we stroll along the river before sitting down on a bench. I know he can tell there's something wrong.
"you alright babe?" I shake my head and i hate the look of concern thats etched on his face when he sees the tears in my eyes. I take a deep breath, i have to tell him what happened.
"I told Emily, and to be completely honest she didn't take it exactly as i'd hoped"
"well don't you worry yourself about Emily, i'll sort her out, make her see how much i care about you, i'm not having her upsetting you like that" he puts his arm round me and i can't help but snuggle into him and lay my head on his shoulder.
"she's my sister,she doesn't wanna see me get hurt" i feel him clench up as i say those last few words and i mentally kick myself for saying it. i'm about to speak when he beats me to it
"you know i'd never hurt you don't you Katie?" i nod my head as much as i can with it being on his shoulder "your my girl ok and I love you, i'm never gunna let anything happen to you" I sit up in alarm at his words
"what was that?" he looks so nervous and so cute at the same time at my reaction
"i said i'm never gunna let anything hap...."
"no no, the other part" I can see how scared he is as he prepares to tell me a second time
"I said i Love you, Katie Fitch" i'm totally stunned, he's completely took my breath away. I don't realise that he's still waiting for me to say something because i'm in a little world of my own.
"Shit i've made a right fucking twat of myself haven't I" god he's so cute when he's like this, all worried "just, just forget i said anything alright" he turns his head away from me.
"Cook" i whisper it just loud enough for him to hear me as i turn his head back round so we have direct eye contact. I press my lips against his softly, yet with as much emotion as i can show. I know he's suprised when i pull away because it takes him a few minutes to open his eyes. I give him the biggest smile i can make "I love you too"
He literally breathes a sigh of relief before standing up and pulling me up with him and lifting me off my feet. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him.
I've never felt happier but there is also another secret of mine that is threatening to come out. I need to find out the truth. I can't keep it from him any longer.
He walks me back to halls and kisses me gently at the door
"I love you babe"
"I love you too" he kisses me again before walking back towards the lift. He turns round and gives me his usual cheeky grin and a little wave. My heart sinks as i know the news of what i have to do next could possibly rip us apart.
This has to be the longest three minutes of my life and the most nerve wracking. How the hell did it get to this. I love him so much and i don't wanna lose him but i'm scared that i will if what i suspect turns out to be true. My watch finally ticks to the 3 minute limit. I gently reach out and pick up that little white stick. Oh Shit
All that stares back at me, is the word that could ultimately destroy my relationship and changes my life completely. I'm Pregnant
