Entangled With A Psycho Roommate

“Mum, Starry meet my girlfriend.” King nervously introduced his mother and to Laura as they entered the hospital room where she was admitted.

Your girlfriend ??? Laura exclaimed inwardly.

“Your girlfriend?” This time around it was the doctor shooting him a quizzical look.

“I never knew you had a girlfriend. In fact you never mentioned.” Dr Narcos cheerily added.

Laura’s whole head was spiraling out of control.

This cannot be happening. Not with everyone here! He’s going to find out she was pregnant. laura thought.

Few hours ago she was rushed into the hospital after she collapsed in his house, the doctor was about speaking to them as it seemed like there was a problem when King’s Mother and Grandad walked in. Apparently they were to come visit him that morning but since he called to say he was at the hospital for an emergency, they decided to meet him at the hospital instead.

She hurriedly turned to look at her Uncle sitting by the side of her bed with a scowled expression. “Dad, I have no idea what he’s talking about.” Laura shook her head hard.

Her cousin Maddie who sat by the other side of the bed just couldn’t mask her amusement. She cleared her throat and got up to greet them quickly as she extended her hand.

“Hello, I’m Maddie. Her cousin. And that’s my dad, her uncle.” she smiled and pointed at the man talking in hushed tones with Laura.

Maddie gave Laura a pinch under the cover prompting her to say something.

“Oh uhm hi good morning Mrs McGorritth…” Laura forced a casual tone before casting a warning glance at her cousin.

King’s mother walked up to her on the bed and cuts her off immediately “Darling, we’ve seen you around the house a few times Yes?” She turned to Starry, for a confirmation who in turn eagerly nodded.

“And please call me Lana, It’s so nice officially meeting you. But not in this state of course.” King’s mum added with a grin.

King who had been pacing the room began to speak, a little breathless this time. “So, Doctor? You were about saying?. Can you make this quick I have somewhere to be.”

Laura couldn’t help but stare at him with wet eyes.

“You said miss Ferguson here is your girlfriend and well..?” The doctor asked again more cautiously. King gave an off hand shrug before interrupting “And the point?” He whipped out his phone to end a disturbing call.

The doctor looking totally baffled turned to ask Laura who immediately pretended to feign similar nonchalance with a little shrug.

“Great. Since everyone is here then, this should be a cause for celebration.” Dr Narcos said with a silvery laugh.

No.No.No.NO.

Laura, practically expiring out and trying to stay calm began to cough out loud as she reached for Maddie with pleading eyes.

“Uhmm Doc, can we not do this now?. Maybe later? Maybe never?” Maddie interjected in a rush.

“Oh? With the situation of things I actually do think now’s the best time.” he insisted.

“Is she sick? Dying?” King echoed impatiently.

“Dying? No not at all.” Dr. Narcos chuckled as he stepped forward to pick up his stethoscope on the table.

“On the contrary. Laura is pregnant.” The words came tumbling out.

There was a pregnant silence.

The doctor was the first to speak, his face creased with excitement “Congratulations to you both.”

He walked over to where King stood stiffened by the door to give him a pat on the shoulder— “And king, I’m so happy for you. Here comes your silver lining at last.” He said.

King shot Laura a doubtful look.

Why did she have to faint this morning!.

Before leaving, Dr. Narcos spoke for another twenty minutes as he wanted to address Laura on the risk her fibroid could pose to her and the pregnancy. All semblance of nonchalance vanished from Laura as she began to wail internally.

And the man in question has been acting cold towards me ever since that night. I’m beyond fucked. laura agonized.
