She absolutely did not want to be carrying Jeffrey's baby! After a whole night, Karen wondered if emergency contraception was still an option.
Watching the man behind her showing no signs of action, she couldn't contain her urgency, "What are you spacing out for, Jeffrey?" "So you're just itching to get rid of me that quickly?" "Can't you understand a word I'm saying?" Karen was on edge, her patience thinning. She locked eyes with Jeffrey, pleading, "Can we just get the pill first, please? I'm begging you. We can sort out everything else after I've taken it! I'm not in my safe period!" She never thought Jeffrey would force himself on her. And to make matters worse, he finished inside.
Karen's panic was palpable.

After freshening up, Karen, still in Jeffrey's pajamas, waited anxiously in the room.
Her thoughts were a tangled mess, but one thing was crystal clear and resolute: she couldn't keep entangled with Jeffrey like this.
She had to make him understand that they were worlds apart, that it was impossible for them to be together! Aside from his good looks, he embodied everything she despised.
He was a playboy, a rogue, disrespectful, irresponsible man. To top it off, he had a past crush on the likes of Heather! Anyone who dated him was truly out of luck! When Jeffrey returned with the pill, Karen didn't hesitate for a second and washed it down with water.
"The pharmacist said there might be some side effects, like dizziness or nausea.” "Whatever." As long as she wasn't getting pregnant! Karen didn't wait for him to offer her clothes; she had to leave now. She'd managed to fend off her parents’ questions for the time being, but she couldn't avoid a lecture when she got home.
Just thinking about it was irking! "Lend me a T-shirt." Her pants were still wearable; she just needed a top.
"I'll take you out to buy a new one." "No need, | have to go." Karen's refusal was firm, eager to draw a line between them right there and then.

Jeffrey handed her a plain white tee, "You don't have to return it. I've got plenty." "Fine." Karen slipped it on, grabbed her phone, and headed for the door.
Jeffrey followed her to the foyer, and as she reached for the door handle, he couldn't hold back anymore and tried to stop her.
"You're just going to leave like that?" "What else do you expect me to do?" She still had to go home and clean up the mess he made, bit by bit! She could tell from Kenneth's tone on the phone that he suspected something was off. Her parents might be easy to fool, but not Kenneth. That smart man was not easily deceived.
"Give me your number." Jeffrey had no intention of lurking around Karen's parents’ place waiting for her again.
"There's no need, Mr. Turner. I've made myself clear; we're not a match.” "What would make us a match?" Jeffrey insisted, not letting go; his gaze fixed on her.
"It's never going to work." Karen squirmed, wanting to lash out but wary of provoking the man before her, who could possibly drag her back to square one. She composed herself to reason with him, "Look, a lot has happened recently, and I'm a bit overwhelmed. Let me go home and think things over. Once I've figured it out, I'll get back to you with an answer."
