Katherine froze when she heard what she said.
"Little Ray did what?" She asked to be sure.
"Little Ray slept with me last night" Felicity looked at her "I guess I'm dizzy because I'm pregnant."
"But how can you know you are pregnant? I mean, since he slept with you only last night."
"But Grace said if husband and wife sleep together, she will be pregnant. Little Ray slept with me last night" she beamed at Katherine "don't worry aunt Katy, you are going to be a grandaunt."
"This is unbelievable" Katherine whispered, she stared at Felicity who was sitting on the bed and smiling happily, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Raymond slept with Felicity? She thought he said she is not his type? No, wait a minute "Felicity, I'm your aunt right?"
"Of course."
"Good" she sat beside her on the bed "can you tell me what little Ray did to you last night?"
Hearing her aunt question, Felicity remained silent, she could remember what Raymond told her about not telling her aunt about anything that happens between them, she looked at the sheets as she fiddled her fingers "em, aunt Katy, I can't... I can't tell you."
"Why?" Katherine tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear "you use to tell me everything before. Why can't you tell me now?"
"Em, little Ray said I cannot tell you everything that happens between us."
"And why is that?" Katherine asked, trying to keep her anger out of her voice so as not to scare her. No wonder, no wonder Felicity doesn't tell her anything anymore. It was because Raymond told her not to. She can't believe this, so all along he has been...
She shook her head to shake off the thought, no, he couldn't, he mustn't, he wouldn't. She eyed Felicity intently who bit her lips, trying not to look at her, "answer me Felicity, why did he ask you not to tell me anything?"
"Well, he said" she looked at her like a child who had done something wrong before looking down at the sheets again "he said it's because you are not married because me. That now we are married, that if I tell you everything we do, you will get sad and I don't want you to be sad. So he said I should not be telling you everything we did. Are you angry with me Aunt Katy?"
Katherine was fuming but she still forced herself to smile, she patted her hair and said, "of course not my darling. You didn't do anything."
Felicity breathed out a sigh of relief as she smiled, "It's good then aunt Katy, I was afraid you will be angry with me."
"No, no, my dear" she kept patting her hair slowly "but if you don't want to be angry then you have to tell me everything that happened."
"Okay."
"Good. Now tell me, what did he do last night?"
"I can't remember well but I was at the balcony when someone came to talk to me. The man offered me" she clamped up as she immediately glanced at Katherine who raised her eyebrow, urging her to continue, "em...em...little Ray came then and carried me to my room."
"No Felicity, from the very beginning, what did the man offer you?"
"Em, it's not necessary aunt, I will just tell you what little Ray did."
Katherine shook her head "what did he offer you? Wine right?"
Felicity nodded without looking up.
"And you drank it, right?"
She nodded silently once more.
"For crying out Felicity, I told you never to take wine if I'm not there to watch you, why did you collect the wine from a strange man?" So that was why she saw Raymond carrying her last night, it was because she was drunk.
"I'm sorry Aunt Katy. It's just that he said it was good and that I would like it, that's why I took it. It's because I have never tasted it before, I'm sorry Aunt Katy."
"I can't believe you disobeyed me Felicity, don't do such again."
"I promise Aunt Katy, I won't."
"Good. So tell me, did you like the wine?"
"I did initially but it started making me dizzy and when little Ray came, I could see him twice, then I called him little Ray in front of that man. I'm sure he is angry with me now."
"Why would he be?"
"He told me never to call him that in the presence of anyone but I didn't remember."
"Hmm. I guess you got drunk and he carried you to your room."
"Yes, when he wanted to leave, I asked him to stay with me and he did."
She took in a deep breath and let it out, fighting to keep herself under control "did little Ray do anything else to you?"
Felicity sat up again "that night in the bathtub, he kissed me and then he touched me here" she touched her breast "and here" she pointed at her vagina. She couldn't look at Katherine.
Katherine was fighting to be calm, so he goes on about her not be his type but he had been busy having foreplay with her? Just what have he done to her innocent niece? "Did little Ray put his" she swallowed, looking for a better way to phrase her question "did he put his...sausage inside you?"
"No. He only let me touch it that once."
"Oh thank God" Katherine said, at least he still left her chaste, which is unlike him. She couldn't believe he came that close to having her but stopped. Well that still don't change the fact the he kissed her and he touched her. What's worse, he also let her touch him too, touch his manhood. She blushed thinking of that but that still didn't explain the fact that he breached the contract and she is going to have a heated chat with him, as well as Mercy and Gloria, his accomplices "go take a shower, then come done for breakfast" she stood up then.
"Aunt Katy?"
She turned to look at her "yes dear?"
"Are you sad?"
Katherine smiled warmly "no my darling. There is nothing to be sad about, meet me downstairs when you done okay?"
"Okay" she climbed out of the bed and entered the bathroom while Katherine left the room. She has to talk to Raymond, as today is Sunday, he didn't go to work.
When she climbed downstairs, she heard Mercy and Gloria talking, well, let her start with the two first, she thought and went towards the direction of the kitchen.
"Oh Katherine, good morning" Gloria greeted when she saw her.
"I didn't know you are still here" Mercy said as she and Gloria were busy making breakfast.
"I am. I have just been in Felicity's room and guess what I found out."
"What is that?" The two women asked as they paused on what they were doing, waiting for the long awaited gist. Gloria had seen Raymond leaving Felicity's room early in the morning. The women had been talking all morning if he had finally taken Felicity and they couldn't wait to hear Katherine confirm it.
"Oh nothing serious, only that you two had been teaching her about sausages!" She yelled the last part.
"Uh oh" Mercy whispered.
"Uh oh right. I can't believe you Mercy, I put her in your care mostly because I didn't want Raymond to have a chance with her but instead, you went preparing her for the very thing. What was your aim?"
