Chapter 4: The Discovery

She held Felix’s hand, Felix followed her and tried to keep her from falling. Olivia suddenly wrapped her hand around his neck, and she pressed closer than necessary. 

She looked up at him, her eyes were filled with a mixture of sadness and desire. “You know, I think you're really nice.”

“Olivia, you are drunk,” Felix said gently," Maybe we should get you some water.”

“No, I'm okay, I just want to have fun.”

Olivia moved closer to Felix, she leaned in and kissed him. She was relentless despite Felix’s attempt at drawing back, her lips were tender, and she had a firm resolve.

Suddenly Felix’s body became rigid with proximity, he seemed to be taken by Olivia’s unique smell and her delicate caress, and that made it impossible for him to hold back. 

Finally, Felix yielded and kissed her more passionately.

Their kiss grew deeper, fueled by the alcohol and Olivia's desire to forget her pain. They were both breathless when they pulled apart.

Alex pulled her hand and led her out from the dance floor into the mansion. 

He went into one of the rooms, locked the door behind him, then turned to give her a more intense look. 

He leaned in to kiss her, and their lips met, and it soon became more intense as the feelings they had been suppressing came to the surface.

Felix's hand roamed over Olivia's back onto the sofa, his breath hitting against her skin, as he kissed her neck and collarbone. 

Olivia's hands slowly reached into his chest, rubbing his raw skin. Their kisses grew more passionate.

Their clothes began to come off, and before long they were in each other's arms, as they gave in to the heat of the moment. 

The night was filled with kisses, touches, and whispered words.

                  ***********

When Olivia woke up in the morning, the sun had already appeared. 

She found herself cuddled up with a man, the middle of her legs aching with pain and soreness. She felt a heavy arm draped over her body, she gasped and covered her mouth in shock when she noticed they were both naked under the duvet with their body parts touching. 

She tried to get up but his grip on her was so strong that she couldn't push him off. After minutes of trying she was finally able to get up and was surprised to see Felix Walton sleeping next to her.

“Fuck” she cursed. She sat on the bed and rubbed her temples, as her head was banging. The memory of the night before came flooding back. 

“Oh no! What have I gotten myself into?" she asked herself, as she was surprised at what happened.

She remembered how she kissed Felix, and how he tried to stop her before he gave in to the pressure. Olivia felt a wave of guilt and shame built within her. 

She spent the night with a man she barely knew because she allowed her emotions to get the better part of her. Felix was Rachel's brother, and this was not how she wanted things to go.

She carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake Felix, her heart was heavy with guilt and regret. 

She found her clothes scattered around the room and quickly put them on. She looked back and glanced at Felix for the last time before she quietly left the room for her house.

As she walked through the quiet house, Olivia felt out of place and her mind was racing with different thoughts. 

“How could I make such a mistake with Rachel's brother?” she muttered to herself as she walked out of the mansion.

She got outside, flagged down a taxi, got in, and began the journey back to her house. She was greatly troubled and was still in shock that she slept with Felix, a man she barely knew. 

Back in her apartment, Olivia sank into her bed, her thoughts were teeming with many things; she was grief-stricken over Matt, humiliated for sleeping with Rachel’s brother, and anxious about what lay in store for her.

“The night with Felix was a mistake, a moment of weakness,” she muttered to herself. 

She would have to face Rachel and explain but right now she just wanted to forget everything and sleep. She sighed deeply and brushed it off, as she placed her head on her bedrest.

Felix woke up to an empty house; Olivia had left. He felt like calling but he did not have her number and there was no note that would direct him on where she went or how to reach her. 

Then he inferred that since she left without any reason, perhaps it meant that she wasn’t interested in seeing more of him.

Olivia is a very beautiful girl who is very confident about herself and he had a great time spending the night with her, he has never experienced anything similar before.

                      **********

Olivia carried on with her daily routine, school, arts, and working part-time jobs, coupled with taking and rejecting her father's numerous calls. 

Olivia woke up one morning feeling nauseous and for the third morning in a row. She sat on the brink of her mattress, her head spinning. 

She has been experiencing a strange feeling for a few days now, she sleeps a lot and also vomits. She rubbed her temples, trying to focus.

“What is wrong with me,” she muttered to herself.

She had tried to forget about her night with Felix, but she was still feeling uneasy about it. She also kept it a secret from Rachel, and now she can’t explain what is going on with her because of the nausea and morning sickness she's been having.

“I'll get to the roots of this problem today, but I hope it's not what I'm thinking.” She muttered to herself, as she got up from her bed. 

She quickly changed into a top and shorts and headed to the pharmacy to get a pregnancy test strip. 

The walk was surreal and tingled with fear. 

She avoided making eye contact with anyone because she felt they could see her fears.

She got to the pharmacy and looked around the shelves, she was nervous and also shaking her head as she picked up a test strip. 

She quickly paid, clutched the small box in her hand like it was a ticking time bomb, and walked away.

When she returned to her apartment in school, she quickly locked the door and went straight to the bathroom. 

"Okay, Olivia, you can do it," her voice was trembling.

She followed the instructions and waited anxiously for the results. Her heart was pounding so fast that seconds seemed like hours to her. 

Finally, the rest revealed two lines. Positive.

Olivia fell to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks as she stared at the positive pregnancy strip before her, her entire body shook as the reality of the situation sank in. She felt a mix of fear, shock, and confusion. 

"What have I gotten myself into, what am I going to do?" she cried, completely alone and overwhelmed. “Why is my life this complicated?”

She never imagined she would end up this way, she was so shocked that she remained in a daze for several hours after the news hit her. 

She knows she can't keep this to herself; and she can't tell her Dad, because that would be hell for her. She needs help and support on how to deal with the shit she got herself into, and Rachel is the only person she can trust. 

“But how will I tell Rachel Rachel that I slept with her brother and ended up getting pregnant? Just how”?
