Chapter 24
If you haven't check out 23 yet. I suggest you do. I've updated the full version of it now.
Monique removed her fingers. “Look who's coming our way”. Monique simple expression formed into a frown. She got back to her previous position, right beside me. She's even closer this time. Always so protective, but I can take care of myself.
“Hmm so that's what Sara looks like?" She alter her frown to a cute smile, then lay a hand on her huge belly. “Yep”. I replied.
“Akeilia”. She smiled, but a bit nervous. Is someone feeling guilty? Or she's still pretending. I put on the biggest fake ass smile I could. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
“Oh my god Akeilia. I've been such.. a bad friend. When last have I asked how your feeling?”
“Just now my friend” I look at her and replied, trying not to laugh.
We simultaneously look at Sara. She looks slightly nervous but she's also wearing a smile. I believe she knows that she's the one we're playing. It's funny how she cares about my well-being all of a sudden.
“I'm Monique by the way. Best friends of Akeilia and Michael”. Sara hold her hand out.
“Nice to meet you Monique and congrats on the baby. Your Leon's wife right?” I rolled my eyes. Everyone knows that. Michael and I weren't the only ones on the media. Especially after they found out that Monique's pregnant. Even a few weeks ago they took pictures of them when they went out.
“The one and only. You wouldn't want to snatch him away would you?" Monique hold Sara's hand.
“W-Why would I wanna do that?" Monique giggle and I watched in amusement.
“So who are you to Michael?"
"We're just friends". Sara started to frown in pain. But I realized why. Monique is smiling sweetly squeezing the life out of Sara's hand, grinding her fingers together. I'm really trying not to laugh here.
“Are you sure? I mean..he's handsome, sexy. He's extremely rich, not to mention that he has a very beautiful girlfriend who he truly loves and care about. Hmm who knows, she's probably pregnant for him”.
I widen my eyes but quickly alter them back to normal. Did she had to mention that part?
Sara glanced at me trying to bare the pain looking as normal as possible. “So I'm gonna ask again. Are you sure?” Monique asked wearing that simple smile. I call it evil.
“That's what we've been ever since”. Monique let hold off her hand. She flashed it once and looked around to see if anyone saw.
“Are you ok Sara?” I asked pretending to be unaware of what happened. She's suppose to know by now that I'm faking it.
“Yeah I-I'm fine. I'm gonna go now. It's good to see that your ok”. She exhale then look at Monique. “Its nice to meet you Monique, I hope to see you again soon”. She smile. Damn liar.
“Um... Akeilia told me that you and Michael has a child together. I want to thank you for telling her because it made things between her and Michael a lot better now...”. Monique is still giving her that innocent look. “...I really appreciate it”. Sara look at me. She probably regretted stopping by.
“Actually...I lied to you Akeilia and also Michael”. I cocked one of my eyebrow. I look at her as if I have no idea of what she's talking about. Is she really about to tell me this right now? “I told him you said that you couldn't conceive”. I gasped, again pretending.
“But my doctor said that I pretty much can. Why would you do that?”
“I know, it was wrong and I'm sorry. Jay Jay also isn't our child. He's Michaels Nephew”. She's so stupid. She really believes that I wouldn't find that out by now? Eva basically told me everything about Michael and Anna's (Michael sister) past.
“I'm so sorry. I was jealous and I shouldn't have told such a lie”. I look at Monique and she gave me the *Don't trust her* look.
“Why are you Jealous? It's not like we're perfect. No one is”.
“I know, but even us Christians are tempted and succumbed to it at times. Please forgive me... I'm sorry”. She's slowly rubbing her palms over her purple dress that stopped at her ankle. Slowly neatening it. But I think she's just nervous. She look at me as if she wants me to say something, but when I didn't, she turned around and walk away. I'm not gonna forgive her just because she told me the truth. The truth that I already found out. And more over I still don't trust her.
“I'm not sure if I should hate her, feel sorry for her or be mad at her”. I look at Monique. The expression she gave startled me.
“Don't even think about the second one. That bitch could've ruined your relationship. If that was what happened do you think she would've told you? Do you realize that for the last minute of your conversation I stayed quiet? That's because I was observing her. She's not sorry”. “How do you know?”
“My dear friend. Your still innocent”.
“Not stupid though”. I defended.
“I didn't say that. You run a damn huge company for Christ sakes. Don't let me feel bad ok. Listen, she didn't apologize in a way for you to be alert that she knows that you know she lied. She admitted it in a way so that even if you knew that she lied it'll just seem as if she's tired of lying and she wants to make it right. That gal is fake divided by fake multiply by fake equals-”. “fake... ok I get your point”. I laughed.
“Why don't you ask Michael to let her leave or more over Eva? You better come up with something fast. You can't have people like that around you”.
“I know”. Something just came across my mind. “Did you have to mention the pregnant part? The whole estate is going to be talking about it if she tell anyone, which..I'm sure she's gonna”. She look at me as if she doesn't care.
“Then let them talk. What will it do huh?”
“Monique, I'm not even sure that I am. I haven't even said anything to Michael yet. I don't want him to hear from someone else”.
An evil smirk came across her lips. “Then you better hurry”.
“Listen to me. I can't say anything to Michael until I'm sure. I don't want to seem desperate”.
“Well I suggest you say something to him very soon because your ass is pregnant". I laughed looking at her, but she's not even smiling. Monique is not a doctor. How the hell would she know that? “Have you ever watched (The Flash)?"
“We're talking about something serious here. Don't play around”.
“just answer the damn question”. I swallow the lump in my throat.
“This is absurd-”.
“Stubborn ass answer my question”. I put my hands on my hip.
“Si idiota. Who haven't”.
“Have you ever seen him run?” I glare at her and she giggled. “Sorry that one was indeed stupid”.
“Ya think”. I rolled my eyes at her, then search the crowd for my prince charming.
“Well that's how fast your pulse is beating”. I flash my head at her.
“What?”. I rest my fingers on my neck. She's right?
“You weren't safe, he ejaculated inside you, plus your pulse is going insane?...your definitely pregnant girl”.
“I um...I need to speak with Eva. I'll see you in a bit ok?” She nod.
“Yeah sure. Do what you have to. I'm going to seek my husband”. I nod and we went out separate ways.
I feel my heart climbing to my chest as I moved through the crowd. As time goes by I decided that I'd love to have a family. I never really expected that it'll be so soon.
Eva is a doctor, she'll be better able to explain this to me. “Hey”. My heartbeat escalates. I lay a hand on my chest and quickly turn around. “Have you seen Mo...nique? Is something wrong?” Leon asked eyeing me suspiciously. He's one perceptive guy.
“You just startled me. That's all”. What a stupid answer.
He smiled half way. “Startled? Your in this huge room filled with people. Yet you got frightened?” He frown. I turn around not wanting him to observe me. I nod. He's worst than Michael. It's hard to hide a thing from him. How the heck he and Michael does that?
My heart beat is beating so fast, that when he touched me the thought of losing my child came across my mind, so I guess both of that got me all nervous and frightened. Even though I'm still not certain if I'm pregnant. Why would I even think about losing it anyways?
The past k. Forget the past.
“Akeilia”. He touched my shoulder.
I look at him. “Monique is also looking for you. You'll find her soon”. I smile.
“If something's wrong..you let me know ok?” I nod.
“Wait Leon”. I stopped him before he left. I'm sure I left both he and Michael? “Where's Michael?”
He chuckle. “I don't know what you did to make him so happy but he was drinking like crazy and his bladder got full”. I giggle. “I'll go find him”.
“Its soon time for him to make his speech”. I rolled my eyes.
“Your crazy”.
“What? With two person in love you can never tell were they're gonna do it”.
“Your no different from Monique you know that?” He raised his shoulders.
“What can I say. I trained her well”.
“Bye Leon”. I giggled before walking off.
Michael must be in the bathroom down this hall. I should've asked Leon which one. I don't want to be walking up and about this massive place.
There are people in here. Talking and making out. I recognized one of them to be my employee, talking to a guy. She didn't recognize me and I ignored her. Maybe I shouldn't but I've got plenty things thinking about right now.
What if I'm really pregnant? I'm gonna be a mother to the only man I've ever loved, child. I feel excited inside, but partially. I need to speak to Michael about it. First, I wanna make sure. Hopefully before he heard from someone else.
We haven't even gone a week yet and I'm pregnant? That's just too quick.
I lay a hand on my belly and smile. But if it's really there, I'm gonna be happy because it's for the man I love.
Oh..this must be a bathroom. Yes of course it is. I knew that one was around here, but I've never used it before. I made to spin the knob, but stopped when I heard Michaels voice.
What do you think is happening?
