CHAPTER 15

ADAM

All through breakfast, Darcy sat quieter than usual - I know she’s worrying after what happened last night but then so am I, I just don’t show it. But there’s not much we can do right now.

She spoke with everyone and made conversation but not her usual chatty self. I think Mum picked it up too. Todd and Darcy are talking but smiling. He also seems a little happier than yesterday, I’ll have to talk to him to later.

Running upstairs, I pick all of Darcy’s bags up off the floor and see an Ann Summers bag, I take a peek inside the bag and see some black lacy underwear. I pull it out and hold it up.

“What do you think you’re doing, Mr Willows?”

I turn quickly - busted. Darcy is in the doorway, smirking.

“Why didn’t I get to see this last night?” Taking it from me she shoves it back in the bag. She pecks my lips smiling.

“Because, I was embarrassed. Taylor bought it for me.”

“I’ll have to thank Taylor.” I tell her as I rest his arms on her shoulders.

“Yeah, she did say that,” laughing she rests her hands on my chest.

“Are you okay? Are you ready to go and get this pill?” I ask.

“Yep, let’s do it.” I bend slightly and cup her face in my hands then kiss her lips softly, tenderly. Straightening up from her she walks to the bathroom and does her hair.

“Oh, and Darcy. I’ll be wanting to see that on.”

She enters the bedroom smirking, “We’ll see, depends how good you are.”

“Come on tease, let’s go.”

We shout from the front door as we’re leaving and get in the truck.

All the way to town, Darcy’s quiet. She looks out the window and I know she’s worrying. I place my hand on her thigh. “Darcy?” She turns her head and forces a smile. “You okay, babe?”

“Yeah, I’m fine.” She says trying to sound upbeat.

We pull up at the nearest boots chemist and walk in. I follow Darcy to the counter so she can speak to a pharmacist. We wait ten mins and a middle-aged man probably about the same age as my Dad comes over to speak with us.

Darcy explains we had an accident and she needs the morning after pill. He leads us to a side room and asks us to sit and wait and he’ll fetch it for us.

“Oh god, he’s gonna give me a lecture I know it.”

I squat in front of her and take her hands. “Darcy, listen to me. You’re an adult right. I’ll tell him to fuck right off.”

“Aww my hero.”

The door opens and he walks back in with a small box. “Right Miss…”

“Ambrose.”

“You need to take one as soon as possible and then one 6 hours later then the last one tomorrow.”

She nods agreeing with him, “But what about my pill?”

She explains everything about starting a new pill and she’s due her period any day now too.

“Well, it’s hit or miss I’m afraid. As you should know not all contraception is hundred percent effective so I’d say take it but just as a warning it may not work.”
