Chapter 2

“Pregnant!” she spoke in disbelief.

“Yes, it early on. From your tone it seems like this was not expected.” Spoke the nurse as she looked at her with a concerned expression.

“It wasn’t.” spoke Gina as she twiddled her thumbs.

She knew who the father of the baby was growing in her stomach. One night of mistaken a bear breaking into their house. Leading to a forbidden dance. Ever since that night she felt guilty. That night should have never happened. Now a baby was on the way. Gina knew she could not go through with this pregnancy. Gina knew what her decision was.

A week after finding out she was pregnant Gina had a secret operation to end her pregnancy. Besides a baby was going to ruin her vacation. Nothing was more boring than a newly pregnant friend on a trip that was meant to have fun. Once the operation was done. Gina was back to her old self. Going out drinking and partying all night. Having kissing sessions with the German men that loved the American women.

It seemed like the days flew by. Stepping out of the coffee shop laughing with the men that was in the café. She bumped right into a chest. Spilling some of the pipping hot coffee onto the chest of the male before her.

“Oh excuse…” she spoke her expression went from worried slowly to shocked. Loosing grip of her cup of coffee as it dropped onto the concrete sidewalk.

“Why look so shocked to see me darling?” he spoke as he looked around seeing the men in the café. “Oh, am I embarrassing you? Sorry” he spoke as he slowly guided her towards his car.

“Where is mom?” Gina asked as she walked along with him.

“She is at home.” He spoke as he opened the passenger door for her to get in.

If her mother was at home. Why was her stepfather out here in Germany? Gina mind was filling with many questions. Seeing her stepfather walking around the car to his door. For a moment she wanted to lock the door, but her fingers would not move. She watched him as he entered the car.

“I know you wondering why I am here.” He spoke to her as he turned the key in the ignition.

She knew that tone oh so well. Gina knew what was coming. She reached for the door. Only to hear it lock before her hand grasped the door. She pressed the button to roll down the window. Seeing it not working that he placed her on child lock. The way he placed the car in drive frighten her. She dug in her purse looking for her phone.

“I already seen Teri. She knows where you are. I told her not to call or disturb us. We were having a family day. So, you know that your friend knows. Why are you grabbing the phone for Gina?” he spoke as he continued driving. “Remember what I told you Gina.” He spoke as a flashback played in her mind.

Gina remembered the cold bitter taste of death. The warning that came behind it. She did not want to test him. She knew his threat would surely come true if she did.

“I received a charge on my card that needs explaining.” He spoke as he kept driving. His eyes darting side to side, to review mirrors and back to the road. “Do you care to explain?” he asked her.

When he spoke, she knew just why he was there. Yet, she was sure she could tell him she bought an expensive purse. That would explain the five hundred being gone from his account.

“Well, I seen a purse that I really liked. So, I did not think you would mind.” She lied as she looked towards him.

A smile came to his lips before nodding.

“You bought a purse?” he asked as he looked back to the road “What brand? Cause it must be named brand to be so expensive.” He spoke as he looked back up to his review mirror.

“Chanel” she spoke. “A pink Chanel. You know how much I love my pink dad.” She continued her lie.

“It was Chanel? I swore I saw an LV on the receipt.” He frowned a bit.

“Maybe it was a Louis Vuitton.” She shrugged.

“Ah, Okay” he spoke as he gently pulled the car over into an abandoned car lot. “May I see the purse?”

“I left it at my room.” She spoke as she looked out the window.

“A brand-new purse left at home?” he spoke as he tilted his head “A brand name purse at that left at home.” He spoke his fingers gripped the steering wheel tighter. “Do you see what I am getting at Gina?” he spoke before looking at her.
