Why Can't I Understand You?

Christian told Lanre his instincts does not lie. He said he was sure that Lanre will give birth to a female child that will look exactly like her. Lanre shook her head. She told Christian she was sure she would be having a male child. She told him the reason was because she has added a lot of weight and that boys are usually heavy. Christian told her girls were mostly chubby. Lanre disagreed with him and that was the beginning of their argument. They ended up placing a bet. If it’s a boy, Lanre could make any wish and he will fulfill it. But if it was a girl, Lanre will have to fulfill his own wish. Lanre shook her head.

“I’m not doing it like that. Let us make it specific. If I win, you will baby sit the child for two weeks when he is two months old. If you win, you are free to drink baby’s milk for two months”. Lanre said. Christian chuckled.

“Do you mean I will be taking breast milk?” He asked winking at her. Lanre faced palms herself.

“Pervert! If you win, I will clean your shoes for two weeks”. Lanre said.

“No, if I win, we go to Dubai on her one year birthday”. Christian said. Lanre frowned. She told him she does not like Dubai. He told her it was the more reason they would be going there. Christian handed the baby trolley to Lanre. He hook both his hands around her and kissed her shoulder from behind. Lanre went stiff.

“Get a room! Get a room! But I think it will be twins, cause aunty Lanre is always very lazy”. Eno said in a sing song manner. They had not realised she was there until she told them to get a room.

“Stop saying nonsense! You are following me to see a counsellor tomorrow”. Lanre said. She gave the baby trolley to Eno and went inside. She could not have thought Christian would actually get that close to her. A smile crept into her lips but it quickly faded away. She sat down on the bed and crossed her legs. Christian has always treated her gently. Anyone would believe they are a couple. Even Eno thinks Christian is the father of the baby in her womb. Lanre shook her head. Things really are not always as they seem. As this thought came to her mind, she thought about K.

“Why can’t I understand you? One minute you want me, another minute you are telling me not to contact you. Funny how I didn’t know when I fell for you. And the fact alone that I’m carrying your child in my womb makes me want you by my side even more. I miss you Kehinde! But you are not worth it”. Lanre said. She lays down on the bed, the look on her face was that of an innocent. But the thoughts in her head were filthy. She just thought about her intimate moments with K.
