Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

Veronica stared at me. "Just go pee" she demanded slowly. I jumped out of my seat and ran to the bathroom. I did my business and returned in a much better state. "Lila is on the phone" Veronica handed me the device.

"Hey" I greeted her.

"Get on Skype. We're all going to videochat" she commanded. I told Sammie to grab the laptop. After signing into Skype, I answered the call. It was a three-way video call with us girls, the guys who were having a guys' day, and everyone at the castle.

We all yelled out greetings before my mom told us to quiet down. "Lila has something to say" she announced.

"You're pregnant!" Veronica squealed. Lila nodded in confirmation. We all said congratulations, but Veronica said something else. "Dude. Same!" Everyone looked at her. She smiled sheepishly. "Surprise?" she said slowly. We yelled out more congratulations and the three of us pulled her into a hug.
