She stared at me for a couple of seconds and nodded. “So if you’re pregnant, you’ll have the baby?”
I licked my lips nervously. “Does it sound crazy if I say yes?”
Her eyes widened, and she just stared at me for a couple of seconds. “I support you in whatever you decide and whatever happens. And if you have a baby, I guess I’ll be an aunt and will help raise her or him, and I…”
“Oh my gosh, Poppy. No need to get carried away.”
“I’m just saying,” she said, rubbing my shoulder. “I’ll be here no matter what happens. Okay?”
“Thank you. I can’t believe I was so irresponsible as not to read the instructions for the pills and do a little bit more research on how it works.”
“You just got caught up in Travis’s dazzling blue eyes.”
“I mean, he does have beautiful peepers.”
“He sure does,” she said. “I wonder who he is going to introduce me to.”
“Really, Poppy? Are you sure you…?”
“What?” she asked, folding her arms across her chest. “You’re the only one who can have a hot love affair with a handsome man?”
“No, but I know how to handle myself in this situation.”
“Uh-huh,” she said, looking at the pregnancy tests.
“Okay, so I kind of fucked up. I kind of had unprotected sex when I should’ve realized that I still needed him to wear a condom or pull out.”
“Girl, the pull-out method is not effective.” She glared at me.
“I know.” I giggled. “I should have had him wear a condom. But I mean, emotionally, I’m okay being in a situation like this.”
“A situation like what?” Poppy said.
“A situation where it’s just sex. I can walk away from this easily. I don’t think you could do the same thing.”
“Really? You don’t think I could just have sex and…”
“Girl, I don’t think so. The only guy you slept with was Sam.”
“Yeah and?”
“And you guys dated for two years.”
“And?” She glanced at me.
“And he broke your heart.”
“That was a long time ago.”
“Yeah, but you haven’t been in a relationship since then.”
“Because I’ve been focused on…”
“I know,” I cut her off. “You’ve been focused on your studies and getting your degrees. Well, you’ve got two degrees now.”
“Yeah, but I don’t have a job, and…”
“Does a job make a difference to your dating life?”
