Natasha POV
I rested my head on the cold wall and wiped my mouth with my palm.
After a few minutes, I stood on my shaky legs with the support of the wall and flushed it.
I walked toward the washbasin and brushed my teeth and washed my face.
I looked at the mirror who was reflecting my pale face. There were bags under my eyes and I was indeed looking sick.
It has been 2 months since my last date. I haven't heard anything from him or gotten any messages.
I have been puking for the last two weeks and now I am totally drained out.
I wanted to rest but I can't just take an off. I couldn't concentrate on anything except him.
I wiped the tears from my bloodshot eyes. I had told myself many times to forget him but still, I just can't forget him.
I heard my phone ringing. I sighed and dragged myself to the bedroom and picked up my phone from the bed.
It was from Kelly. I picked it up and in a tired voice said "Hello"
"Are you still throwing up?" She asked me in a worried tone.
I laid down on my bed and said "Yes Kelly. I am puking my guts out. And let's not forget this tiredness."
"Naty, go to a pharmacy and buy two pregnancy tests." As soon as she said those words, my eyes got widened.
Is she telling me what I am thinking? I can't be right. I can't be... Pregnant.
I sat up and suddenly felt my head spinning and again laid down.
"I can't be pregnant, Kelly. I had taken the morning-after pill the next day." I whispered.
The next day after our lovemaking, I had taken the pill as I didn't want to take any chances.
"You had done good work, Naty. But still, you have to take that test as pills are not that effective." She said softly.
I bit my lips and said "ok. I am going to purchase the test, Kelly. I'll talk to you after taking the test."
I bid bye to her and pulled my hair into a ponytail and wore my shoes.
I walked out of the house and went to the near pharmacy. I went toward the test section and got confused as there are many types of tests.
A lady who was in her mid-30s smiled at me. I gave her a small smile and she picked two test kits and handed it to me.
I thanked her and she just gave me a smile and said: "Use both of them for the accurate result."
I nodded and walked toward the counter and passed the test kit to a man who was sitting behind it.
He gave me a disappointed look and I ignored it, paid him for the test and took it from his hands.
I went to my apartment and walked to my bedroom. I took the test kit out of the packet and read its instructions.
With a heavy heart, I strolled toward the bathroom and peed on the sticks and placed them on the counter.
I washed my hands and picked them with tissues and went back to the bedroom.
I placed them on the bed and laid down on the bed after setting a timer of 5 minutes.
I closed my eyes and started to think about the possibilities of me being pregnant.
I mean I have had symptoms for the last two weeks. I have been puking my guts out and I have been getting dizzy easily.
Let's not forget that I didn't get my periods for 2 months. And my periods were always on time.
