Monique wouldn't stop running her mouth about the type of baby I'm gonna have, the type of clothes we're gonna buy and Michael's gonna be extremely happy etc.

We head downstairs and everyone were gathering at the table. The workers haven't even finished setting the table. Well I guess everyone's hungry.

Why isn't Michael back yet?

I shake my head. He's alright you worry too much.

Monique and I sit beside each other. I can feel the gaze of everyone but I ignored it. It's only natural to have sex. So what if they heard.

I look to my left after I feel someone sit beside me. I hope this woman isn't planning on getting clingy. She just smile and I smiled back. So maybe I'm playing a hypocrite, but really I don't like to malice people. Besides she hadn't done anything for me to dislike her. Yet.

I look at Eva and she won't stop smiling. I really love that woman. She's helped mom a lot and she treated me really nice over the years. I never came here, but she visited me at the company and my home.

The workers are done setting the table. They went to whatever chores they now have to do.

“Pray Wendy”. Eva ordered and she did just that. Despite of the fact that I feel eyes piercing through me, I didn't open mine this time. I listened to Wendy prayer and also did a small one of my own for the first time. Praying for Michael and I to live happily ever after, but of course this life isn't a fairytale.

Speaking of listening to Wendy. I remembered the first time she prayed.

In your son Jesus name I pray, forgive those who dwell in evil.

Maybe she was referring to Sara and Debra. Well it doesn't matter. And why do I need to analyse everything? Why do I have to remember every little senario that points to something? It's like my brain wants me to realized everything the way I'm suppose to. Gosh.

Everyone started to eat except for me. I'm just sitting looking at my plate and everyone else eating. It didn't bother Eva or Monique because they already know the situation. What's the point of eating when my body will just rejects it.

I look beside my plate of delicious yet disgusting food and see water and pineapple juice. Pineapple is my favourite fruit. Maybe if I drink something it will stay down.. right? Or maybe I shouldn't and save myself the embarrassment of running from the table to vomit.

Where is Michael? He should be here by now. I look at Eva. I guess she saw my worried expression because she just sent me an assuring smile. I don't know if it meant that I'll be fine or that Michael is OK. I mentally rolled my eyes. As if she can read minds.

I sigh and take up the pineapple juice, listening to the clings and clangs of fork and knives. I guess no one is in the mood to talk.

SMASH!

I got startled and so did everyone else when the glass fell from my hands and mashed, but not before some of it spilled on me. “I'm so sorry Akeilia. I was just gonna excuse myself for the bathroom. I never meant to-”. F*ck*ng great.

“Wendy... Don't worry about it”. Save me the fake ass apology. I took up a few napkins wiping myself off. I don't feel any wetness at all on my skin. It's as if the liquid didn't seep through the jeans. This material is good. I like it.

“Akeilia”. She softly said and I look up at her. My anger lessen after she look at me with pleading eyes. As if telling me to believe that she didn't do it on purpose. And for a stupid reason I believe her. I hate that about me. Whenever I feel that someone is telling the truth, I just let my guard down and feel forgiving.

“Its OK. You probably save me running off to the bathroom anyways”. She smiled and excused herself for the bathroom. I lay the napkin beside the plate.

Everyone started eating again without saying anything. “So um.. Akeilia”. I was surprised when I heard Debra's voice. I look at her with curiosity.

“Is it true that your um..that your pregnant?”

“Can't you mind your own business?” Monique said with ruthlessness looking at her.

“I heard that she is so I only-”.

“The only person that is suppose to and has the right to enquire is Michael”. Monique started to glare at her. Some of the people here look surprised. Probably thought that Monique wouldn't have said anything. But they don't know that little devil. My little devil. They look satisfied though. I guess most them doesn't like Debra either.

“It's no big deal-”.

“Just shut up!” Monique yelled and stand. The moment she messed with me she became Monique's enemy. Now she gave Monique the chance to let it all out on her and I'm enjoying it. Monique is a grown woman now, but she still has that bad ass side of her.

“I heard what you told her. What was it again? Ahhh yes. She should've known how to pray because of what happened to her in the past. What kind of person are you? How could you think of saying that, much less to allow it to pass your stinking tongue? Let me tell you something you bitch. If I ever hear you pass your place again pregnant or not your not gonna like it”. She pointed in Debra's face. She's just looking at Monique's finger astonished.

“That goes for you too Sara”. She look at Sara. Seem as if someone thought she'd be left out. Sara only innocently look at her then everyone at the table. I look at Eva. She's looking at where Monique is with this look on her face like she's observing something. Just the way Michael does it.

“Akeilia”. I look at Debra who softly called my name. “Monique is right. It was wrong if me to ask you. It won't happen again. I'm-”.

“Sorry? Don't bother. As of now on just keep your thoughts to yourself or tell it to Sara. Just shut your mouth. You talk to damn much. If you realise that you have no control of what you say just don't open your mouth. And mostly we're not friends. Don't ask me about my personal business or anything for that matter. Understand?” I wanted to cuss her out from the day at the dining table. Now I got the chance. I feel much better now.

Debra isn't a blabbermouth. She knows exactly what she's gonna say. It just gives her pleasure to mess with people emotions. She glanced at everyone. I see smiles on their faces.

She look at her plate looking all embarrassed. How is she so good at pretending.

Monique walk back to her seat. But she still looks upset.

“Qualcuno si prega di pulire questo in su!”. Eva yelled. Soon I see a lady I don't recognize moving towards here with a mop.

I suddenly feel the urge to sleep. I don't see the point of sitting here anyways. “Monique will you accompany me to my room?” “Of course. I lost my appetite anyways”.

“Please excuse us”. I look at Eva and she nod. She didn't say anything at all while we were arguing. She must have thought that Debra deserved it. I wonder what she'd do if I tell her the little scheme they were trying with Michael and Jay Jay.

We started off for the stairs. “One more thing you should know about pregnancy. You'll less or more likely to experience mood swings”. “Maybe that's why I've been finding you awfully annoying”. She gape and slapped me lightly.

“I liked the way you deal with them. You should've done it the first time Debra opened her shitty mouth”.

“That's because I thought what she said slipped without thinking, but now I know who she really is. Who they are”.
Shoot I'm suppose to pay my employees today.

The door open and I look behind me. My whole mood lighten when Michael stepped in. Ahhh rushed in actually. So did Leon. Michael rushed towards the dining table. Leon look this way and saw us. He didn't bother to call Michael. He just watched in amusement.

“Mother is she alright. Where is she?” He asked worried. Eva giggle and look at me. Suddenly Michael did too. His shoulder dropped in a relax way, then he placed a smile on his lips walking towards us. He fist Leon really hard on the shoulder after he sees him laughing.

“You could've saved me the embarrassment”. He glared at Leon. They both walked over to us.

“You could've saved yourself the embarrassment of you'd looked everywhere except for just the dining table”. Monique told Michael. “Is somebody upset because I punched her husband?” Michael teased.

“Whatever. Let's go. We have a lot to talk about”. She pulled her husband up the stairs. “Uhhh I'm tired Mrs Clarke”. Leon whined. “So am I, waiting for you the whole day to get back. Shut up”. I don't need to say what those two are going to do.

“Hey”. Michael embraced me. “What happened to you?” I look behind him and see everyone taking glances at us. Even the two bitches. They're really getting on my nerves

“Can we um? Let's go upstairs”. He nod and we head for our room.

He locked the room door and look at me. Before he said anything I walked off towards the door blue door. “What did Mom say the matter was?” He firmly asked obviously following me. I spin the knob and it opened freely. I guess he deactivate the taking machine thing. Thank God. It was getting on my nerves.

I walked in, leaving him standing at the door. I took up a laptop then walked back out. “Are you going to work tomorrow?” I sit in the bed edge, put the laptop on my lap and pressed the power button.

“Yeah I should”. I'd love for him to stay with me. If I didn't know better I would've cussed him that he prefer his job more than me, but that would've been stupid. I know that even though he's wealthy, he still have to work and he still have to perform well to stay on top. He have to maintain over four companies and it's not easy.

“Do you have to?” I asked looking at the laptop loading up. “No I don't”. He sit beside me. “What's going on k bear?” I look at his confused sweet face and smile. It's been a while since he called me that.

“Is it something I should be worried about?”

“She has her suspicion of what it might be, but tomorrow we'll know for sure”. Now he looks curious. “And what is that?”

“Can't you wait?” I shot at him suddenly feeling angry. He frown at me and I suddenly feel guilty. Where did that anger came from?

I sigh and look back at the laptop. “I'm sorry. I know that your worried, but tomorrow isn't far away. Please just wait OK?” I just feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden. He stand loosening his tie.

“OK then”. His throw the tie on the bed. “I'm going to take a shower. You wanna join?”

“Yes of course. As soon as I'm finished transferring my employees salary. It's gonna take a while though”. I look up to see him unbuttoning his shirt. I look back at the monitor trying to focus.

“I don't need to put any password in for the wifi right?”

“No it's already connected”. Oh good, there it is. I logged into my company's salary system.

“Do you transfer their salary one by one?” He asked surprised.

“Yeah”. I look up at him. His shirt is off showing his sexy abs. He walked exactly in front of me. “You know there's an easier way to do this right?” I frown, but I still couldn't prevent myself from gazing at his abs.

“OK let me”. He take the laptop from my lap. “I'm fast with my hands. It's not hard”. He started typing quickly. “I know you love hard-work Akeilia, but I'd also love to take a shower with you. So I'm gonna do it the easier way and show you tomorrow”. “What? No show me now”. He look at me.

“I'm sorry. I know you're worried, but tomorrow isn't far away”. I slapped him on the shoulder for mimicking me. He chuckle.

“OK fine”.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

“That must be my dinner”. “How do you know?”

“I was late for dinner”. He stand and rest the laptop on the bed. I observed his sexy walk with a smile as he walked to the door. They probably thinks that guys are they only ones that watch sexy asses, but women do too, especially when the guys walk so manly sexy. If you know what I mean.

He opened the door. “Good evening Maria”. “Hi Michael”. They must be really close. They didn't addressed each other as Ms or Mr.

“Tell miss Akeilia I said hi”. “Oh.. you guys got aquainted. That's nice. I'll tell her”. He took the tray of food. One just like what the butler brought me did on my first day here. He closed the door.

He sit beside me again and take up the laptop. “So you've met Maria?” “Yep. She seems like a nice lady”. An agreeable expression formed on his face.

“OK so I'm gonna categories the salaries and the persons that's suppose to receive that specific salary”. “Ok?”

“Then...”. He trailed off searching and typing quickly.

“I'm gonna select GO when I'm done and everyone will automatically receive their salary...Look and listen how this works. I'm gonna make an automatic search for everyone who's suppose to receive the same amount of salary from each department in your company. Say for instance there are two hundred people from department one who'll receive twenty thousand. Each person's from the other departments with the same salary are gonna combine. After everyone with the same salary combined, that's when I'll press GO”. I watched as every employee that earn the same salary name popped up on the screen from every department. Over a hundred name in just one department. I watched while taking glances of him. He's a professional. He looks so serious focussing on what he's doing but cute at the same time. I just love him so much. I can't afford to lose him.

“This will be done in a minute”. He said without taking his eyes from the laptop. I lay on my back waiting.

“I'm gonna select GO when I'm done and everyone will automatically receive their salary. Look and listen how this works.

After everyone with the same salary combine, that's when I'll press GO”. I watched as every employee that earn the same salary name popped up on the screen from every department. Over a hundred name in just one department. There are only five. I watched while taking glances of him. He's a professional. He looks so serious focussing on what he's doing but cute at the same time. I just love him so much. I can't afford to lose him.

“This will be done in a minute”. He said then look at me. I smile sweetly at him. He turn around focussing back on the laptop. I lay on my back waiting. I watched as he put the laptop down, then look at me.

He crawled over me and look into me my eyes. “You want me don't you?” I opened my legs and let him fall between. “Does that answer your question?” He smile and started to kiss me. I'm already out of my pants and even my pantie.

“Akeilia”.

He stopped kissing me. I crave for more. “Why did you stop?”

“Babe”. He said

“Yes? Don't stop please”. I replied.

“Akeilia”.

“Yes Mic-”.

I open my eyes. It was only a dream. I sigh.

Michael is smiling down at me. “I hope I was the one you were dreaming about”. I rub my eyes. As if sensing that I wanna get up he moved and allowed me to sit.

“Couldn't you wait a bit longer? I was gonna get laid”.

“By whom?”

“Who do you think?” He chuckle. “You know there's no need to dream about it what you can have it for real, right?”

“Let's go take a shower. How long was I out for?”

“Just a few minutes…”. He look at me up and down. “You look awfully tired”. I stand and take my pants off.

“Are you sure you want me in there with you?” I take my blouse off and everything else smiling at him. He look at me up and down and bit his bottom lip. He stand and wrap his arms around me. I couldn't help but to observe his tattoo. It's sexy. Whatever it is, it's written in Italian.

“As of now on that's how you'll transfer their salary. Doing it one by one would've taken hours”. I feel his bulge and I can also feel his heavy breathing on my face. I know he wants me.

“I could've done it the way I'm used to it, but thanks anyways”.

“After we take a shower we're going to eat OK?”

“No I can't keep anything- I mean…I don't eat late at nights”. He ease off me a bit looking deep in my eyes. “Your still vomiting?” I wanna tell him, but what if I'm not pregnant? I don't wanna build his hope up for nothing.

“Yeah but just once today”.

“I'm gonna ask you again. Is there something I should know?”

I pushed from his embrace. “I'm not hiding anything Michael. I've been vomiting and yes I fainted, but I really don't know what's wrong. Eva will let me know tomorrow OK”.

“Fine but your eating. It's obvious you didn't eat anything today. You have to eat to keep your strength. If it won't stay down. You force it down. Understand?”.

“I think it's better said than done”.

“Come on”. He walked off towards the bathroom and I followed. I just remembered something. “Did you transfer Lenoys salary?”

“What made you think that I didn't?” He says irritated. He turn around blankly looking at me. I can't read his expression, but I'm sure he's upset that I brought Lenoy up.

I point at him. “Because I know you”. He look down but I saw that little smile he just did.

He look back up with his hands in his pockets.

“Well I thought about it. But like now you would've eventually found out. I don't want you to hate me”. My gaze soften and I walked closer. “Michael…you know your speaking nonsense right? I wouldn't hate you because of that. Honestly, I'd just be upset that's it. Until he's gone, he's still my employee, the manager of my company. I don't wanna disrespect him like that”. I know what his problem is. He's afraid that a little part of me is inlove with Lenoy. I wasn't inlove with him. I just enjoyed the sex we had, which I no longer think about because he's better and I've always loved him. My heart was always with him.

“What happened between Lenoy and I won't happen again. I can promise you that”. “I know”. I couldn't help but to smile at his reply because it made me believe that he really trusts me. I would be having second thoughts if he asked if I promise or if I'm sure.

“I know you won't. I trust you”. I couldn't help but to pull him in a passionate kiss. I sucked on his tougue so hard he pulled it away. I giggled.

“Don't get too carried away yet bambina”. Yet? I like the sound of that.

“Let's go take a shower”. I replied with a giggle. I walked off smiling.

“Akeilia”. I stop and turn around. He's still standing right where I left him. “Do you think that your pregnant?” OK I knew he was curious, but I didn't expect him to ask.

He walked closer. “Because if you are...”. He brushed his thumb across my cheek. “…It's gonna be OK. I'd love to have a family with you”. Tears came to my eyes. I smile then hug him and he wrapped his arms around me. “I'm really happy to hear that. Really happy”.

“It'll make me the happiest I've been my whole life”. He commented, rubbing his palm slowly at the centre of my back. “Me too”.
