20. Her boyfriend

REVIEW...

Late in the evening, when Derek got back from school he called Alison's number that Ryan had given him earlier that day.

Alison was at the backyard of Ace's house watching him work out in himself when an unknown number called.

...

She first of all ignored the call but the caller kept calling. She picked up her phone and said. "Yes who are you?". "Alison it's me" A voice said from the other end of the call. "Who?" Alison asked again. "It's me Derek" Derek answered. "Yes, what do you want?" Alison asked coldly.

"You've been missing school" Derek said. "Hmm" Alison replied emotionlessly. Ace who had entered the house when Alison was on phone. He then called her from inside. "Allie, come over here" Ace called her. "Ah. Okay I'm coming"Alison answered.

Derek heard the male voice from the other end of the call and asked "Alison are you at home? I'm coming over. You've missed alot." Derek insisted. Before Alison could reply Ace snatched her phone from her. "Hmhm? who are you? Ace placed the phone close to his ear and asked.

"I'm Alison's classmate and you?" Derek answered then asked. " Me? I'm Alison's boyfriend"Ace said. "Huh?" Alison and Derek chorused at the same time at Ace's response. "Please tell me is Alison really pregnant or are they just rumors?" .

"What if she is, would you believe? "Ace asked. "No I won't believe because I trust her" Derek vouched. "Well I'm sorry to break your trust, but she is"Ace said then hung up the call. He returned the phone to Alison.

Alison watched Ace take off his sweaty shirt. His body was finely built. His abs were hard as a rock and his biceps was high. His waist was slim. He looked hot shirtless."You like what you see?" Ace asked teasingly "I also wanna work out" Alison said.

"Ahahaha" Ace adam apple moved as he chuckled. "You can't you're pregnant, you can only do some exercises"Ace grabbed a towel nearby hanging it around his neck. "Like?" Alison asked. "Hmm..."Ace paused for a while before saying "Like... yoga. Pregnant women do yoga. I think that'd be suitable for you. Maybe after birth you could do some work outs. Now go and rest. you've taken a nap today. I'd be back, wanna clean up"Ace said before leaving to take a shower.

Alison returned to her room. She was lost in her thoughts. Memories came back, her childhood life with her dumb mother and jerk father, her early teenage life in the orphanage and been an adopted child by the James's family. She had lived a miserable life and how she met Ace.For some strange reason she got attracted to Ace and trusted him. She silently sighed then muttered."Lilian I pray you don't go through this also... Hoping you a life and nice family...Ahh" she closed her eyes then breath in.

She looked at her tummy. The thought that she was still linked to the James family wanted to make her puke, but she couldn't just get rid of it. She knew she was young to do this; to be a teen mom, but she wanted it.

Ace entered her room all dressed, his hair was still a bit wet making it curly and handsome. "Allie,it's time for dinner" Ace said. "I don't have appetite" Alison turned her head away watching outside through the window. Ace held her hand "Let's go, or do you want me to carry you?" Ace asked with an eyebrow up.

"Do I look sick or crippled?. I can walk dude. I just don't have appetite"Alison answered sarcastically. "I never said you were sick or crippled girl"Ace rolled his eyes. " Let's go"Ace pulled her out of her room to the dinner table
