A month had past and my affair with Hector continued to remain a secret. Simon hadn't suspected a thing. I was about to head to my first lesson but I ended up running to the toilet as I had to vomit.
"Sue?" I recognised Christine's voice "Are you alright in there?"
I opened the toilet door "Oh yes I'm fine"
"Your not ill are you?" Christine was concerned. I myself didn't know why I was throwing up. The idea of me being pregnant popped into my mind, but then I quickly dismissed it.
"I must have a bug or something" I said but then quickly changed my mind as I didn't want to risk being sent off-sick "Actually, it must be that dodgy meal I had this morning"
"This morning?" Christine was confused "So your telling me you had a takeaway this morning?" Christine was good at telling when people were lying.
"Oh well no" I said quickly "It doesn't matter, ok"
"I know you might think I am butting in with your private life here, but have you considered the fact that you might be pregnant" Christine spoke "You and Simon have been married for quite a while and it could be that time when-"
I quickly interrupted "No, definitely not. Simon doesn't want kids yet"
"Well you still could be pregnant" Christine spoke "Protection doesn't always work. If you are pregnant then I'm sure Simon won't be too mad"
I was fed up of the conversation "I told you it was the dodgy meal, so it was" I didn't want to be rude, but at the same time, I didn't want anyone suspecting anything.
The thought of me being pregnant was ringing around my head all day long, but I kept on telling myself that it wasn't true. Eventually I decided that it would be best to be safe and buy a pregnancy test just in case.
It was another evening of Simon working late, I heard the doorbell ring, I knew it was going to be Hector. Hector greeted me with a long kiss and a bottle of wine. My favourite wine.
"I was sick this morning" I told Hector "And Christine suggested that I might be pregnant. It's been bothering me all day"
"You sure it's that?" Hector asked.
"What else could it be Hector?" I replied back "I swear it was morning sickness. I brought a pregnancy test as well. Do you think I ought to try it?"
"Yes, I guess so" Hector answered "You know it wouldn't be bad if it came back positive"
I thought of me, Hector and a baby living happily together, the thought made me smile. But I thought again, I knew it wouldn't be like that, I was still married to Simon, of course I couldn't have a baby with Hector. Even if the baby was Simon's, me and Hector wouldn't get to have any time together.
"It would be bad Hector" I spoke the truth as I took the pregnancy test out my bag "Wish me luck"
Hector hugged me "Good luck, I'll always be here for you, either way"
I ran out the toilets in tears, I never thought seeing a positive pregnancy test would upset me so much. Hector came towards and hugged me tight as I threw the test across the room. He then went to pick it up.
"Throw it away!" I cried "I don't want Simon to see that thing" Hector did as he was told.
Hector put his arm around me "Don't be upset Sue, I'm sure you'll make a great mum"
"It's not that" I admitted as the tears fell down my face "I've messed everything up. I swear this baby is yours, me and Simon don't do it often and if we do we always use protection!"
"Everything's going to be alright Sue" Hector comforted me, unfortunately his comforting didn't work.
"No it's not!" I cried "Simon's going to find out I'm pregnant one way or another. He'll have to and when he does, he's going to think it's his!"
"As much as I enjoy the thrill of this behind Simon's back" Hector told me "I think we'll have to just tell him about this whole affair"
"NO!" I screamed "You can't do that Hector. I won't let you, please don't tell him"
Hector thought hard "Okay, if that's what you want. But what on earth are we going to do? I don't want Simon thinking my baby is his"
"It will work itself out I promise" I wiped my remaining tears "I'll sort it out some way"
The truth was, I had no idea how I going to cope with the next 9 months...
