Kennedy

The smell of cheese and pepperoni met my nostrils but when I opened my eyes fully, it was Julian’s face I saw.

“Oh Christ! You’re awake. I was just about to call an ambulance!” he growled. Just behind him, the pizzaboy stood, looking uncomfortable.

“Can I go?” the kid mumbled and Julian waved him away without turning around.

“Kennedy, what happened?”

“I think I fainted?” I guessed. “Like I said, I’ve been sick.”

“Here, let me help you up.”

I realized I was still laying on the floor where I’d fallen and I permitted him to help me to the futon. That’s when I realized how much food was in my apartment. There were mounds of pizza boxes and plastic containers filled with salads and breads.

“What the hell is this?” I demanded. “You could feed an army with that!”

“It’ll keep. I wasn’t sure what you liked so I got a bit of everything.”

I stared at him. I couldn’t tell if he was trying to impress me or if he felt sorry for me. I was still trying to wrap my mind around being married to the father of my child.

I need to tell him about the baby, the voice in my head told me but another voice assured me that was not the time.

“Let me make you a plate. I’ve got calzones, pizza, pasta, salad, garlic bread, chicken and veal parm…” he looked at me inquisitively. “What’s your pleasure?”

“Surprise me,” I sighed and he laughed.

“I wouldn’t think you would say that,” he chuckled but he pattered around the small kitchen and found some cutlery and plates to make me something to eat.

“As I was saying, “Julian said after a minute of unwrapping plates. “If I had known that we’d done that, I would have been in contact much earlier.”

I waited.

“So, how do you feel about this?”

“How do I feel about being married to you?” I demanded dubiously. “How am I supposed to feel? I’m stunned. I’m shocked. I’m…”

I had already run out of adjectives to describe my state of mind.

“Great, we’re on the same page.”

He presented me with an overflowing plate and I could barely hold it.

“Just eat what you want,” he chuckled when he saw my expression. He returned to the kitchen and fixed himself a plate also.

“I’ll give you a divorce,” I blurted out and saying the words aloud pierced my heart in a terrible way.

Julian jerked his head up and the hurt in his eyes was clear. More confusion enveloped me.

Isn’t that what he wanted? Isn’t that why he had come all the way over here from Miami?

“I see.”

“You see?” I echoed. “Were you thinking about making this marriage work?”

“I’m not sure what I was thinking,” he replied. “I know that you and I don’t know each other at all but I also know I felt a connection to you from the minute I laid eyes on you.”

A shiver of warmth touched my body and his words sent goosebumps over my skin. I had felt the same way but I also didn’t want to “try” and make it work with someone while I was hiding a pregnancy from him.
