Crystal and I went to the outdoor pool. Most of the guys and ladies were in the water playing volleyball in the pool.
"Come in ladies, let's play a game!" Alejandro shouts.
Crystal and I giggled before we jumped in. Max and their other friends were there. I got on Zach's team and Crystal went on Alejandro's and Orlando's team. We hit the ball around and played a few games.
Then Orlando cooked up some burgers and hotdogs on the grill. It was nice to catch up with the guys and ladies that hung out with us at times.
"I made it just the way you like it," Orlando gave me a plate with my cheeseburger on it and a bowl of fresh salad with ranch dressing over it.
I slowly ate and chewed down what I could but honestly, the dressing in my salad smelled awfully strong and I couldn't touch it. Then the greasy burger wasn't agreeing with me. I put my plate down and went inside to the nearest bathroom. I heaved some but nothing came up. When I opened the door, I jumped back and was startled to see Orlando.
"Did you vomit?" He asked, worrying.
"I heaved but nothing came up," I told him. "I'm going to go lay down."
"I'll come with you." I didn't feel like arguing and let him follow me.
I changed in his bathroom and I came out to see him on the bed.
"I'll lay on the couch," I said bitterly and Orlando bounced to his feet and reached me faster than I could walk.
"Can we please talk?" He sincerely took my hands, asking. I've been trying to avoid this but I knew I'd have to face him at some point.
"Ya, we probably should," I consented, not fully in the mood to talk.
Together we both took a seat on his couch near his balcony and Orlando took my one hand.
"I am so sorry for everything," he frowned, sadly. "I messed up. I know that but I really hope you can give me a chance to fix it."
"I don't have an answer right now," I sighed. "I need time to think."
"I know," Orlando utterly whispers.
His eyes were so soft as he cupped my cheek against his warm palm. I felt lost in his gaze. Before I knew it, our faces closed the gap between us. Our noses touched and we stayed tranced on each other's sight. Then his face tilts as his lips collide inward. I gasped when his lips brushed mine in a feathered stroke. His lips fell onto mine when he pecked me. Then just as quickly as his lips move to kiss me again. Images of him and Ashley flashback in my head. Guilt engulfed me since I am Kai's wife.
I pushed him away before he tried to deepen the kiss.
"What are you doing?" I questioned him and stood up appalled.
"I'm sorry," Orlando apologetically said. "I just can't handle being away from you. I never thought we'd get this chance."
I deeply sighed. "I don't know if there will ever be a chance with us anymore."
He stood up taking my hands so I couldn't leave the room.
"Baby, you know I love you," Orlando whimpered with those pouty puppy eyes.
"Just don't, Orlando, "I ghast and freed my hands from his. "Just because I am leaving Kai doesn't mean we are getting back together!"
"Listen, I know I hurt..."
"Just stop," I shot him down from finishing. "You slept with Ashley multiple times in one night and you weren't that hungover not to have sex with her in the morning."
"That isn't fair!" Orlando tried justifying. "Whenever you slept with Kai!"
"Unlike you, I am at least married to Kai!" I snapped. "I have boundaries and respect for myself. And just because Kai cheated on me doesn't mean I am going to cross those marital boundaries by playing his game with being a cheater too. Until the divorce is final, I don't want you crossing your boundaries with me!"
"You're right," Orlando said, sadly. "I'm sorry for kissing you. I just hope you'll at least think about giving us a chance."
Without expecting it, my stomach simmered that grease and I couldn't answer. Instead, I ran to the bathroom and just barely reached the toilet. I choked up everything I ate as Orlando came in and held my hair up and waited patiently for me to finish.
"Let me get you a warm bubble bath ready and then you're going to bed for the night," Orlando insisted. "I promise, I won't stay."
I nodded as Orlando set that all up for me. I was quick to get in and out. Then into something more comfortable to wear. I came out and Orlando was still here. So he tucked me all cozy in bed.
"You rest and I'll check on you in a little bit," he said and I grabbed his wrist lightly.
"Please stay with me," I helplessly said with tears filling my eyes. "I don't wanna be alone. I'm scared I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do."
The realization of this just hit me like a bus and it's too much to bear.
"Orlando kissed my head and then said. "I will always be here. Crystal told me what was going on. Pregnant or not, I'll get you through this and I promise Kai won't take this baby from you if you are pregnant."
Orlando crawled into bed and I cuddled up on his chest for him to hold me. As I cried and wished Kai didn't do this. A part of me wished I was with Kai right now. It hurt so bad to see him cheating. I never thought it would hurt me like this.

Two days later, Crystal made me an appointment with her mother. Unfortunately, she couldn't come with me, so Orlando drove me there. Once I arrived I was taken straight back.
"Oh, Victoria it's so nice to see you again," Emily, Crystal's mom hugged me.
"It's nice to see you too," I replied and then sat back on the table bed.
"So what's going on?" Emily asked with a worried face.
"I think I got pregnant on birth control," I explained and told her everything that's been going on.
"Let's draw some bloodwork," Emily smiled. We did that and then she checked my body and saw my breasts were very sore.
Then she walked out and I waited for the bloodwork results to come. Orlando came back in as we waited for his aunt to show up. A light knock came on the door and then Crystal's mother came in with a delicate smile.
