Pregnant and Homeless✔

Chapter 18

His lips brushed mine softly, and for a few seconds, I forgot that Valdo was a stranger and that I was pregnant with another man's baby. The kiss wasn't like any of the others I shared with Will, it was 100% better, This wasn't a kiss from a teenager, it was a kiss from a man, and it felt amazing. I finally understand what the movies mean when the main character feels butterflies. But my butterflies didn't last one because Valdo suddenly pushed away from the kiss.

I opened my eyes, and we awkwardly stared at each other. Valdo closed his eyes and sighed, "I'm sorry. That was an accident."

A blush creeps up my cheeks as I nod. At least he didn't say it was a mistake, because mistakes don't feel so good.

I looked into his enchanting blue eyes then told him what he needed to hear, "I'm sorry. It's completely my fault."

He shook his head, "No, it isn't. I kissed you; first, you respond. I should have never done that."

I shrugged, "It's okay."

He sighed and shook his head, "But that's the thing, Jakobia. It's not. I want you to trust me and what I did was crossing the line."

I crossed the line with you the moment I realised I found you attractive.

"I already trust you. I know you didn't intend to kiss me. It was just a spur of the moment kind of thing." I wish I could say that alcohol was the one who did the kissing, but neither of us drank anything but Apple juice unless the company started adding in some extract ingredients that we don't know about.

He scratched his head, uncertain, "I'm sorry."

I shrugged, "It's okay." The kiss confirmed the lingering questions in my head. The two questions were answered. The Kiss made me feel beautiful and Yes, It's possible to have feelings for a man different from the one who got me pregnant.

"You should get some sleep, you must be drained." he reached behind me and turned the lock on the door, pushing my bedroom door open. I turned and glanced briefly in my room then back at him.

"I'm exhausted," I admitted, but I instead spend the rest of the night with you, but I'll settle for sleep.

He gave me a light smile, "Goodnight, Jakobia" This time he didn't drop a kiss on my cheek, probably scared that history will repeat itself. He took two steps back but didn't take his eye off me.

I smile, "Goodnight, Valdo."

I watched as he disappeared down the hall then I turned and entered my bedroom. I closed the door behind me and sighed. I walked over to the bed and lay down on my back and look at the ceiling.

Having feelings for someone who wasn't my baby's father wrong, but why does it feel so good?

...............

"Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I asked the man looking at the city view.

A smiling Valdo turned, "Good morning and no, today is Saturday." I looked at him, shocked. I was never good with telling time or days but to know it was already Saturday meant that time was moving very fast, even though it feels like I've known Valdo for years, it's only been a few days.

I nod, "So, no work on Saturdays?" I paused, "So what exactly do you do on weekends?"

"I go to the gym, the park and supermarket." I noticed the clothes he was wearing. He was drenched in sweat, which meant he probably just returned from the gym.

"So you're heading to the park soon?" he shook his head.

"I went to the park already. I only have the supermarket left on the list, but it's too early." I turned and looked at the clock hanging on the wall behind me. My eyes widen at the time, that couldn't be right. Valdo noticed my shock and chuckled, "You overslept."
