180 days with my crush

"Mia is pregnant with your child?" I repeated, struggling to comprehend the bombshell he'd just dropped. How could this be? Was he secretly with her while pretending to have feelings for me? I thought we'd made progress, but now it seemed like I'd just been fooling myself. 


My head began to spin, the news overwhelming me. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. I stumbled over to a nearby chair and collapsed into it, trying to process the chaos swirling in my mind. 


"It's not what you're thinking," Aderemi said, his face a picture of despair as he looked at me. 


But I wasn't buying it. If he thought he could feed me some lame excuse and I'd swallow it, he was sorely mistaken. I raised an eyebrow, daring him to try and spin this devastating revelation into something more palatable. 


"What am I thinking?" I asked, my voice laced with sarcasm, as I deliberately avoided eye contact with him. 


"That I cheated," he replied, his words barely above a whisper.
