Marry me

Special Jude's POV

I got to Olivia's apartment and found Chris waiting already at the door.

“Is she okay “. I asked while entering the apartment.

“Yes, just go in “. Chris replied and showed me Olivia's room.

I knocked on the door, but he asked me to go in. I got in and saw Olivia lying on the bed, her eyes were closed, but it was obvious she had been crying. I felt my heart clenched and wished I could take whatever pain she was going through away from her.

I hissed in frustration and ran my fingers roughly on my hair before walking towards her and sat on the bed.

“Oli”. I whispered while gently touching her cheek.

She murmured in her sleep but did not wake up .it was obvious she did not sleep throughout the night.

I took a deep breath before kissing her forehead. The moment I did that, her eyes were wide open with shock written all over her face. She quickly sat up on the bed and stared at me, 

“Hello Jude”.she greeted with a fake smile on her face .it was clearly she was in pains but was trying to hide it from me. I felt bad and heartbroken when I realized she never saw me as someone she could share her pains with.

“What's wrong oli,”. I asked while taking her hands in mine.

“Did Chris say anything to you “.she asked nervously,

“No he didn't, is there something I should know “. I asked while giving her hand a soft squeeze.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, she opened her eyes and gave me a guilty look, it was obvious whatever she wants to say to me will hurt my feelings.

“What's it oli,”. I asked. I was scared of hearing what she has to say, but I need to hear it.

She took in another breath and lock eyes with me, 

“I'm sorry Jude, I'm genuinely sorry “.she was halfway in tears.

“Sorry about what “. I asked confused, 

She moved close to me and held my cheek with her other hand. 

“We can't be together “.she whispered.

I felt my grip on her tighten as I felt a quick pain in my heart.

“Why “. I asked 

“I'm I that bad or am I not good enough”. I asked,  barely in tears,

“It's not about you, Jude”.she replied quickly.

“Then what “. I asked while gently twisting her hand.

“Tell me Oli, tell me”. I begged.

She flashed me a sad look but did not say a way.

“Is this because of Tony”. I asked 

“No”.she mumbled 

“Then what is it because I can see that clearly you are in pains and I know it's not because of this “.

She stared at me and looked away.

“Listen, oli, you can tell me “. I pleaded.

Still, there was no word from her.

I hissed and moved closer to her.

I took hold of her cheek with my hand and touched it.

“I love you Oli, and there is nothing in this world that will make me stop loving you “. I stared into her eyes while saying that.

“I'm pregnant”.she spoke those words while staring at me 

“I'm fucking pregnant Jude, now do you still love me “.she shouted in pain, anger, and frustration.

I quickly moved close to her and embrace her .she tried breaking the embrace, but I held her tighter. She hit my back with her both hands, but I refused to let her go .when she noticed I was giving up, she let go and melt in my embrace.

Few minutes I felt her tears on my shoulders.it was a quiet sob, but later on, she started crying profusely. I looked around and saw a worried looking Chris standing by the door. I signaled him to leave, that she was okay.

Few minutes she calmed down, and I released her from the hug. I wipe away her tears with the back of my hand.

“Do you need some water “. I asked, 

“No”.she murmured.

We sat there and no one said a thing .she kept on looking at me hoping I would say anything, but I did not. I have so many questions to ask. But I knew now wasn't the right time.

“The baby is Tony's”.she spoke up, 

“I know “. I replied.

She hissed and spoke up again 

“It was a one-night thing and a mistake”.she murmured,

I stared at her but did not say a thing.

“He is not aware of the pregnancy and I don't want him to”

“Why “. I asked, 

“Because he already has a family, I prefer not to destroy it “.she spoke out in pains.

“So, what do you intend doing “. I asked, 

She was quiet for a while, maybe thinking of what her next step would be.

“Leave the country, and start my life somewhere else “.she whispered.

I felt a strong hit of pain in me. I lost her five years ago, and now I won't lose her again.

“Why must you leave”. “There is nothing for me here “. She replied., "You have me “. I painfully replied.

She gave me a questioning look before speaking up 

“What do you mean “.she asked confused. 

I took in a deep breath and without another thought I started talking 

“You asked me if I still love you even though you are pregnant, and you have gotten my answer yet “.

“Please don't do this “.she pleaded

“Let me finish oli,”,

“No, I preferred not to hear it, I don't want you to mend your life because of me”.“And who told you I was going to adjust my life because of you “. I asked, 

She stared at me confused before standing up.

She walked around the room and kept on staring at me, but did not say a word.

“I know you love me Jude, you don't have to prove it to me “.she spoke up, 

“And who told you I was going to prove anything to you “. I replied to her while standing up and walk up to her and stood before her, 

“What do you mean “.she asked nervously.

I felt my breathing increased and my palm becoming sweaty, but I pick up courage took her hands and stared into her eyes 

“Marry me oli, please marry me”.
