Royal Deception - Chapter 27: Chapter 27

"Ouch" I cried
"Quit whining I'm almost done"
"But Its so tight" I protested
"There done!" He exclaimed after he had finished braiding my hair.
"So who taught you?" I asked
"My sister"
"No shit you have a sister?"
"I just said so" he replied bored.
"Kay Let's go now"
"Are you sure you would be able to keep quiet for two hours" he asked for the sixth time tonight.
Well Carter wanted to take me to a movie house but he was afraid we would be thrown out because apparently I talk too much.
But we did go to watch the movie, my pick.
*****I cried for the last time as we left the cinema. The movie was sad.
"I told you to pick a difference movie" complained my lovely boyfriend.
"I know but I'd never watched the Fault in our stars" I was still crying it was quite a sad movie.
"I do not usually do this but come" he signalled opening his arms with an annoyed expression on his face.
I walked straight into his arms.
"Now keep quiet" he insisted rubbing my back.
"Are you okay" he asked a second later.
"A sad face doesnt go away that easy"
"Are you sure?" He asked with a naughty grin.
"What do you have in mind"
And he kissed my pain away.
"You could wear a scott and model for me" I suggested once he'd let me go
"What is a scott?" He asked.
"A short that looks like a skirt"
"I would never go that far just to stop a person from crying. " he assured.
"Glad to hear how much you care about me"
"Glad you stopped crying" he smirked holding my hand leading us out.
"Ask me anything" I said once we'd reached his apartment.
"Oli would you ever leave me ?"
"Not even an entire army could make me leave you" I confessed walking closer to him.
"You're crazy" he laughed.
"I'm serious" I defended straddling him on his couch.
"Let's go to the kitchen" he suggested as he moved with me stuck to his body like a leech. I wasn't clingy this was our odd way of bonding.
▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️
Everything was moving too fast and for a split second reality threatened to put me in my place. Everything I wanted was happening and it felt like a dream.
At the moment I was busy making paper air planes with Carter.
"I want to go and bake" I said standing up.
Then I made a homemade cake mix and I'm sure my face was a floured mess along with my clothes.
And behold my idiot boyfriend waltzed in the room wearing a floppy hat written kiss the cook. How platitude of him.
"Remove that hat" I demanded
"Its not my fault you dont have one"
"Fine" I breathed waiting on my cake.
"Just kiss the cook" he smirked leaving the room.

9 months , 9 whole months passed. And we were still dating. I liked him more each day if that's even possible.
We did have school breaks but I spent most of them at uncle Max's house, then I'd disappear with Chloe at night saying we were visiting some friends and by that I mean I spent the nights with Carter making love in unbelievable places at unbelievable times.
I called my mother everyday during the break and cried at not being with her. I did not tell her about Carter it would've turned into a lecture and I'm sure she'd even fly to come meet him.
I wanted to go back home and see her but she insisted that I dont come back because it would somehow disturb my studies and make her not want to let me go.
So the recent break had passed and we were back in school.
I was currently sitting with Chloe in our study room finishing my assignment.
"I call for being your maid of honor" she suddenly bursted
"What are you talking about?"
"You and Carter, anyone can see that you're bound to get married"
"Ofcourse they can" I sarcastically remarked
"How many times do I have to tell you that sarcasm doesnt suit you"
"As long as you want" I snapped getting back to my writing
"You are such a piece of work"
"Look who's talking"
"Hey! Take that back"
"You should stop talking about me and let's talk about your love life"
"You mean my non existent love life?" She questioned
"How about you tell me what lured you to Henry"
"Well you knew him , so I'll go for his face , his laughter , he was so funny and managed to make me laugh all the time and an.." she burst into tears.
"Emotional topic?" I questioned and she continued crying. If only boys knew the sort of emotional damage they inflicted when they hurt girls' feelings I'm sure they'd stop it.
"I just...I'm pathetic...i mi..ss ...him" she cried as I hugged her.
"He's not worth it if he makes you cry" I stated.
"I hate boys" she furiously stood up and waltzed out of the room.
It pained me to see her like this.
"Yes boys have cooties" I sadly smiled
*****"Guess what" Gerald laughed. We were at the Oxford Swimming Club. Kenner loved swimming which is why we continuously went there.
For a Saturday it was quite packed students everywhere in skimpy swimming suits.
"What?" Chloe and I asked as Kenner frowned behind him
"Kenner I'm telling them" he laughed even more as she tensed.
"So we were walking out of Kenner's dad's wine estate when one of the wine makers who was really hot by the way walked towards us and asked for Kenner's number" and he fell laughing
"I dont get what's funny?" I asked
"He harassed me" Kenner complained
"Dont exaggerate Ken all he did was ask for your number and Oli I'm laughing because Ken said she wouldn't give him her number because hes poor" he laughed
"can you imagine how stupid that is"
"Yeah it is stupid" I smiled
"How's everything with Carter and you" Kenner asked to shift the topic
"All good"
"I still cant believe you're dating"
"Wow Gerald you've said that for seven months now"
"Oli it's still hard to believe I mean he's a hunk and you're a you-get-my-point girl"
"I get your point" Kenner laughed
"you find this hilarious too?" I asked my mood darkening
"Its just a joke" Chloe nudged
"Then you're very funny Gerald" I fake laughed submitting my work on the school website.
"I can't believe you're doing assignments during leisure time" Kenner snickered.
"There are some things that love can't change Ken" Chloe grinned.
Then the screams and whispers came. We paused and looked from where the commotion was suddenly coming from.
Everyone looked back to each other and when I saw his car it clicked. Carter was here. And he was confidently striding over to where I was.
"I call dibs after you" Gerald purred staring at him dazed , stuck somewhere.
"I call dibs after Gerry" Kenner mumbled.
"Don't call me Gerry, Carter could hear it and lose interest" before I could voice my opinion on the matter.He walked up to me and placed his lips on mine.
I blushed hard as everyone continued to whisper.
"I thought you said you were not going out this weekend" he stated sitting on my laps.
"Gahh get off me"
"You think I will?" He smirked.
"God he is killing me!" Gerald exclaimed getting up.
"He's just so hot!" He yelled.
"Gerald behave" Kenner pinched him.
"Your friends are handy" he commented getting looking between Kenner , Gerald and Chloe"...and I do not like them" he said loud enough for them to hear.
And you'll never guess. He walked away. Leaving us all with dropped jaws as he climbed into his new jeep. Honestly I didn't know where he got all these things.
"Rude guys are just a major turn on" Kenner exclaimed running her hands through her hair.
"I almost lost consciousness he is just too hot" Chloe said dramatically fanning herself.
"He might be the reason behind global warming" Gerald spoke.
"I think he's the solemn reason why we should apply sun screen his gaze can melt you" Kenner smiled.
"Guys!" I finally spoke.
"Oh sorry, but dude seriously your boyfriend is .H.O.T" Kenner apologised.
"Kenner!"
"Oliver if guys ever need a threesome call me , just check if he's bisexual Angel" Gerald blew a kiss.
"I don't know how I manage you guys" I confessed.
"You love us" Chloe said.

"What do you mean he withdrew from the university!?" I asked the clerk in the administration building.
"Mrs Wallace it would do you good to remember that you must lower your voice when you speak to elders" she snapped
"I'm sorry I'm just ...i" im beyond shocked I meant to tell her .I knew something was off when Carter wasnt picking up his phone , he wasn't at his apartment and now he had withdrawn from the university.
He had to have a good explanation for this otherwise I'd kill him. I rushed out of the building running to his apartment and to say my heart was breaking is an understatement.
I was at the verge of jumping off a bridge. On the door was a poster written in bold VACANT. To confirm my doubts I entered the suite and I whimpered in pain.
The room was empty, no sign of anything or anyone . I stood up strength less and ran back to my studio where i shut the door and jumped on my bed.
The tears came like a flood streaming down my rosy cheeks. He couldnt leave me right? I was overreacting right?Hed never leave me right? He cared about meme right?
And all these questions caused havoc in my crowded mind. I cried like I'd never before done in my whole life. I felt so lost and unwanted.
He had freaking left me!
Sometimes when you read those suicide stories and say this person was so stupid how can they kill themselves for a boy rethink your judgement because I was at the point of no return.
"What happened to you" boomed Chloe as she entered the room.
"Noth...ing" I cried
"What's wrong" concern etched her voice.
"He left me" I cried clutching onto Chloe's jacket
"What do you mean he left you?"
"Car..ter he withdrew f..from the ...univer...his ...apartment...no sign" I sobbed " he left me"
"Baby girl dont cry" she hugged me tightly"its going to be okay I'm here for you"
And her words gave me solace.
*****I stared up at the ceiling reminiscing all the the good times I'd shared with Carter. Breaking my head with possible theories as to why he'd left me.
I found none that was valid.
For weeks I'd locked myself in my small room in the studio. Crying , practising cutting and crying again. My days were full of hopes that were shattered at the end of each day .
He wasnt coming back and the actual reality kicked me in the gut strongly that i hadn't even eaten in days if not weeks now.
Chloe tried stopping me from wasting my life over this but I couldn't get over it. I couldn't let go and let gone as if it were some crush I had , I had given him all my care and trust and this was my payment.
This was his way of saying thanks.
Had he explained the pain would've been better but he had left without a trace . I wasnt rich I couldn't track him.
And again the tears flowed.
"Please stop" Chloe begged entering my room with a sad face
"You're not just hurting yourself you're hurting me as well I can't see you like this" she said tearing up.
"Get up" she demanded with hurt and angst.
I didnt move so she came and forced me up.
Suddenly I felt a sense of nausea hitting me and I tried to cover my mouth as vomit made its way out of my guts.
The sickening taste of my tongue after three rounds of throwing up wasnt thrilling infact it made me want to throw up more than my stomach had to offer.
"I'm taking you to the hospital" Chloe stated firmly and I didnt have the energy to fight.
I felt dizzy and my head suddenly became heavy. What was wrong with me? Was it because I had skipped a lot of meals?
Before I gave myself a reasonable conclusion I fell flat to the ground as everything around me blurred.
***** my eyes opened to face a blinding white color. I faced the other side only to face a worried Chloe chewing on her hair.
"you're up" she said wiping her tears.
"Water" that was the first thing I said as my dry throat threatened to crack.
"Here" she immediately passed a hospital plastic cup full of water.
Drinking it I got my voice back.
"What happened to me?" I asked
"You fainted , I told you to eat your meals but now look" she said crying
"Cry baby" I snorted
"I'm glad you still have your sense of humour"
"I thought you hated it "
"It fascinates me to criticize you" she laughed.
And before I could answer her a doctor walked in with a stern smile.
Then I suddenly remembered Carter's smile. I almost lost it but what the doctor said pulled me out of my trance.
"Everything is okay with you, your sugar level is too low which is bad for the baby" he explained "I suggest you eat more healthy foods and I'll prescribe you some medications"
"The baby is strong however because it wasnt affected by the lack of food but take care of it it's still fragile" he kept on talking and then I made sense of what she was saying.
"What baby?" I finally asked
"Your baby you're three weeks pregnant" he smiled
"What!?" Chloe and I exclaimed at the same time.
