They sat down there for what seems like an eternity.

The man was looking intently at her while the young lady was just nervously tapping her fingers on the table.

Is this lady for real?

For the past one week, she has been stalking me, asking for some moment of my time. At first I thought it was another crazy girl just trying to get my attention but hell no this woman is a stalker. And now I decided to give her a listening ear, she just sits down there and goes mute.

His patience was growing thin by each passing seconds.

"Excuse me miss but................"

"I am pregnant" she cuts him off.

It sounded like a whisper.

"I am sorry you are what?" He asked, leaning forward.

"Pregnant" she said, this time a little bit louder.

All these while, she wasn't looking up.

Is this lady okay? He thought.

"And so what if you are pregnant? How does that have anything to do............"

"For you" she cuta him off again.

He looked at her and burst out laughing.

This time she raised her head up.

Guess she was wondering what was funny.

"I am sorry but you are funny" he said, still laughing.

"I said I am pregnant with your baby"

He wasn't laughing anymore.

Is this some kind of joke or what?!

"You are saying I got you pregnant?"

"Yes and i am two weeks gone"

Somebody wake me up. This is a dream. No, infact this is a nightmare.

"Woman how much do you want?"

"I am sorry, what?"

"Look, I have seen these things before. Maybe someone paid you to come here and tarnish my image or maybe you are just one of those girls that are gold diggers looking for who to extract money from. So tell me how much do you want. Let's not waste our time here. I am a busy man in case you aren't"

Is this jerk for real.

"How dare you call me a gold digger. You think I am happy with this pregnancy. Hell no. I would have opted for an abortion but no my conscience won't let me. If only you know what this pregnancy will do to my life. You think it's a good thing for a lady to get pregnant out of wedlock especially to a stranger who......"

"Exactly my point" the man cut her off.

"A stranger. I don't even know you. I haven't seen you before so how do you expect me to believe I am the owner of that pregnancy"

"Well if you didn't have a weak memory you would have remembered the one night stand you had with a lady a month ago at the "Get down club""

He looked at her while trying to remember, but all to no avail. He has many girls at his beck and call so there was no way he's going to remember a one night stand with a random girl.

"Okay, let's just say I did have sex with you, I made sure I used condom whenever i am having sex"

"Well, I don't know. Maybe it tore" she said trying to look for an explanation.

He looked at her and sighed.

"So what do you want from me?"

"I was waiting for that question. I just need you to take responsibility of this pregnancy in the next nine month. I don't have a job now and I don't have money to take care of myself and the baby. After the nine months, I promise to take my baby and disapear from your life"

He looked at her trying to think.

"What have I gotten myself into" he thought to himself.

"I want a DNA test" he said.

"What! Why?"

"What do you mean by why? I am still not convinced that the pregnancy is mine. So I want a DNA test. Only then can I decide what to do next"

"Alright" she said.

"If that will make you believe me, I will do it"

He brought out his phone.

"Here, put your number in here. I will text you when am ready"

She collected the phone and dialed her number.

"So what should I do before that time" she asked, giving him back his phone.

"I don't know. You aren't a kid anymore. Sort yourself out. I am not helping you until I am sure that pregnancy is mine".

He stood up.

"Good day miss. Till we meet again"

He entered his car and drove off.

Wow.

Is this guy for real?!

How the heck did I get pregnant for a jerk like him.

"He's handsome though" she admitted.

She heaved a sigh of relief. She decided to ask for his help because she didn't want to burden her mother. She is thankful enough that she didn't even throw her out of the house.

She looked at her stomach, touched it and smiled.

"Your father may be a jerk but don't worry I will do anything for you. I will give birth to you and take care of you"

It was getting late already. She stood up, picked her purse and trudge back home.
