Lisa POV.
After several hours driving from my home to Alvin's, I finally reached.
I got down with my luggage behind and rolled it into the house.
Everywhere was quiet, it would seem Alvin wasn't home or I'm I mistaking?.
In other to be sure, I went up to his room, although I didn't find him there I found someone else.
"You?, What are you doing here in Alvin's room?".
The lady Alvin brought in hours before turned around.
She eyed and fell her gaze to my luggage placed aside.
"Wow, I think I should be the one asking you that?".
Toni got me donning a weak yet irritating smile on my face, I got a little closer, knotting some sense into her question.
"Now listen to me, miss Tonia, I'm Alvin's wife and I don't know what relationship you have with him but please leave this room right now".
In return, she smiles and declined to do what I asked her to, "no, I will not?".
Tonia said.
It would seem she was trying to get me mad and trust me, as much as I'll love to banter words with her, I won't, like they say, actions speak louder than words.
I forcefully grabbed her hands and dragged her outside, At the same time Alvin returned and met the scene, "what's going on here?" He asked falling his gaze at me.
Toni tossed my hands and explained everything that happened, I was hoping he would scream his lungs out but he didn't, rather he left and locked us both outside with my luggage in.
"Alvin?" I yelled.
"Alvin, open up," Tonia called yet nothing.
After seeing Alvin wasn't going to open up anytime soon, Tonia left sending some strange singles to me and as usual, I don't flip care what larks in her mind.
H
ours past and he was still inside, I'm quite certain Mr arrogant must have fallen asleep, and I wasn't going to keep standing there, I woke up my feet and left to sleep in the living room.
I laid down on the couch after squeezing myself up like a drenched cat caught in pouring rain.
Slowly my eyes fell asleep and I dozed off forgetting I was sleeping without on the couch and without a blanket.
Everywhere became clam, until a slam on the ground got me running up in a frightened manner.
"Who's there?"., I turned and met Alvin staring at me.
"Why are you doing this?". He asks.
"Doing what?".
I asked.
He smiles and said.
"Come in and rest?".
I walked in a few minutes later, Alvin pointed out the direction I would be sleeping in and went further to his side of the bed.
( No conversation as we both slept till the next morning)
THE NEXT MORNING...
Before I could wake up, Alvin had already got up and dressed for work, he saw me getting up from the back and went straight to the door without even saying at least a good morning.
"Good morning Alvin?".
I said. He froze heeding to my greetings thereafter left leaving again without a reply.
I had no idea why Alvin continued giving me the silent treatment, and as the day goes by the distance between us keeps keep sowing rapidly.
I'll have to do something in other to get Alvin's attention, yet the question remains what?.
Mom phoned me at the same time, I picked up and she inquired about Alvin.
I explained everything that transpired starting from yesterday and this morning.
She falls deep in thought and while I paused to hear her response, Alvin's car drives out.
( Next chapter)
Mom finally breaks the silence, she says and I quote, "baby, I think I've got a plan?".
"What plan mom, please tell me" in a haste I urged her to know more, and she goes on telling on her plan.
Abruptly according to mom, she asked me to get myself trapped by my accident, to see if Alvin would retaliate seeing my life in danger.
And as much as I wouldn't want to fake such a huge lie, Mr arrogant gave me no choice, I had to do it one way or the other.
Little by little, she ( mom) gave me the perfect lie and without hesitation, I left to get everything ready and done.
8:00 pm)
It was eight in the evening and Alvin must be on his way back home, constantly I peeked through the window checking if the car was driving in, yet nothing.
After a few hours spent waiting, he finally decided to return; immediately seeing that I set my plan into action.
"Lisa?", Alvin called me while I rushed into the kitchen.
"Yes Alvin, I'm here?".
He veers around and takes a new turn straight to the kitchen.
"What are you doing here?".
A curious look on he asked.
Abruptly playing the innocent card was all I needed, I smiled, placed the cooking pot on the gas before responding to his question.
"I'm cooking, can't you see?".
Mr arrogant falls a frown, "you cook? Miss danger?".
I smiled in return and switched on the gas, Alvin rode out seeing I was leaving as well.
After a few head headcount, he noticed I was still kept in, he called, "Lisa?" And in an attempt to go in and look an explosion took place in the kitchen, with me in the middle of it all.
"Lisa?" he quivered in fear.
Tonia rushed out and met the scene, "oh my gosh Lisa?" She screamed but I was rather lost looking at Alvin.
He looms his eyes around and immediately runs out in a haste, after a while returning with the fire extinguisher.
He sprayed the fire until it was smoke left, he tossed the can aside and forcefully dragged me into his arms.
"Lisa, are you okay?"
I know what I did was wrong but seeing him care about me once again felt like I had just won the lottery and it's all thanks to Mom's brilliant yet dangerous idea, which no one should ever try at home.
"I'm okay Alvin?"
We pulled apart,
Once again Alvin runs upstairs into his room to phone the doctor, Tonia quietly watched and saw how concerned he was about me and she wasn't pleased with it, at all.
A few minutes later, the doctor came and examined me, he says, "she's fine Alvin but there's something you need to know?".
I turned hearing him say, what exactly happened, I'm I sick or I'm I going to die? So many thoughts ran through my mind except for one thing.
The doctor spoke out again, "Mr. Alvin, congratulations are in other because your wife is pregnant, she's three weeks pregnant".
The news got me dazed, I fell my eyes down tightly holding my stomach.
Alvin walked the doctor to the door and the minute he shuts it closed, I was dragged up from the bed as he twerilled me.
"Alvin stop, I'm getting dizzy," I said, aiming to gain my feet to the ground.
He sat me down to the bed, "how miss danger, I can't believe you're with child, didn't you know about it?'.
I disapproved of his question, "no?".
Because if this didn't happen, I wouldn't have known as well.
I don't know if I should call this a sign from God that with the presence of this child, everything will fall into place...
