I saw who actually appreciates my work. The comments aren't even at thirty, but I don't care anymore. I've looked everyday to see how far it'll go, but it's obvious that many doesn't care at all. All they want is to read my work but not to give a little tiny appreciation to me by just dropping a comment or two. To me, those who commented are the ones who really want to see what happens next. I won't let those who commented suffer for those who didn't.
I've been in coma for almost a month!
I also look fat because I'm pregnant. Not for the man I love, but someone else. My manager.
I look at my little bump smiling sadly. If I didn't know that I'm pregnant I'd also feel that it look that way because my stomach is full or just simply getting fat. It's so small.
"Leon, I...I think it's time Lenoy know about it..It's his child after all, he's still the father". Leon gave Monique a disgusted stare. Monique frown, then he converted his expression to normalcy.
"He doesn't need to know anything. Akeilia and Michael will work this out".
"I'd love that Leon, but you didn't hear what he told me. He's not gonna want anything to do with me as long as I have this child. He haven't even called me. I thought he'd care enough to do at least that". I look up trying not to let my tears fall. "I feel so empty without him"
"Then don't tell Lenoy". I frown. Monique seems surprised at his words just as I am.
"Why not?" I asked confused.
"I think your ok now. Monique let's go". He stand and pull her up.
"Leon what's wrong with you?"
"If you don't want to come, you know where to find me". That's all he said before he left.
"You can't stay here Monique. Go with Leon".
"How can I leave you like this?" "I'm fine Monique. I want to be left alone, so don't let Leon leave you. Don't let Leon be upset with you because of me".
"I'll call you". I nod then she left. She knew there's no point in trying to convince me. Tears rolled down my eyes. Nothing can be done about Michael and I. I just know it.
I got up and walk towards my landline. I dialed Lenoys number while sniffing and crying.
Suddenly I dropped the receiver back on its holder. I lay my back on the wall crying so hard I can hardly breath.
I love Michael so much. I don't know what to do. He didn't have to leave me like this. We shared so much memories. Good and bad. We have a history together. I need him. I can't do without him.
I look at the phone that had started ringing. How did I get caught up into this?
I know. It's because of Michael. That day I caught him with that b*tch!
No, Part of it was my fault. I just want to find reasons to not feel so depressed but I can't. Oh god.
I'm just gonna have to tell Lenoy. I have no other choice. I need someone to stick by me through this. He's the father afrerall.
I picked up the phone without saying anything. "Akeilia. Is that you?" He softly asked. He's calm, most of the time. It makes me wonder if he has any faults at all.
"Y-Yeah, can you come by?"
"Are you OK? You sound-"
"Just come".
I hung up and went back to crying again.
I've been sitting on the floor beside the phone for over an hour now. I'm still crying and I can't seem to stop. Everytime I think about Michael and the times we shared makes me more sad. It hurts so so much.
I look at the phone that started to ring.
"H-Hello".
"The guards won't let me in". "Give the phone to one of t-them".
"Ms Shaw".
"I called him here. Please let him in".
"I'm afraid we won't be able to do that. We got strict orders not to let anyone in".
"Look if I say let him in, you let him in. He's my manager. We have business to discuss".
"Still can't do Ms Shaw". What?
"Your ok and that's good enough for me. As much as I'd love to see you, I'm going home". He said after couple seconds. I need to discuss this now, I don't want to go through second thoughts anymore. If I should tell him or conceal it a bit longer. I just want to get it over with now.
I'm sure that if it was Michael out there the whole neighborhood would be watching already, because if he had to fight to get to me that's what he would do.
I can't stop thinking about him. I won't try to because I know that no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to.
"Give the guard the phone".
"Yes".
I sniff. "If you can't allow him up here alone, why don't you accompany him? That way you'll be certain of my safety". He sigh. I guess that's a yes.
"Ok". I hung up the phone. How must I start?
Soon he walked in and rushed to me who still sitting on the floor. He embraced me. "I'm sorry for doing this without your permission, but I've missed you and I'm glad your ok". The guards stood at the door. One on the left and the other on the right.
"Are you OK?" He asked. I sniff as the tears came again. It's impossible to fight it back feeling the way I am.
He look at me suspiciously. I pushed myself to stand but he assisted me. I sit on the bed then gestured for him to sit beside me.
"Akeilia". He softly called my name demanding an answer. I sniff a few time trying to calm my sobbing.
"H-How do I put this?" I rhetorically asked myself out loud. I tightly shut my mouth, lift my head blinking back the rest of tears trying to escape. He rest his hand on my shoulder.
"What is it?" Just say it.
"I'm... P-Pregnant". More tears fell from my eyes, looking at him to see his expression. He look at my belly, then back at my face.
"Your pregnant?"
"Why do you sound so surprised? I didn't call you here to lean on your shoulder, crying to you that I'm pregnant for someone who abandoned me. I called you here to tell you that I'm pregnant...for you". His eyes widen. He look at my belly then back at me for the second time. A smile crept on his face. Oh I wish Michael was the one smiling at me like that. It would be nice to at least look at his face. Even if he's not smiling.
He lay his hand on my belly. It feels strange. As if I'm being touched by a stranger.
"Are you sure?" A frown formed on my face and I took that opportunity to remove his hand.
"Am I sure that I'm pregnant or if I'm sure that it's yours?"
"Can't a guy ask a question. How old are you?"
"Six weeks or so". He look as if he's calculating something. Really? I haven't slept with anyone but him. I know it was a no commitment thing, but it was only him.
"Have you finished checking the dates of every guy I slept with?" I can't believe he's doing this in front of me.
"I'm sorry, it just automatically happen".
"Uh huh". I said glaring at him. "Your unbelievable". I wanna slap him so hard right now. But I don't blame him.
"Sorry about that". He looked away before looking at me again. "How did Michael felt about this? Did you tell him before he-".
"Please...Just don't...". Tears well up in my eyes again. "Don't talk about Michael. I haven't seen him since I woke up. I just don't want to constantly be reminded of him". But I know that's a lie. Tears rolled down my cheeks.
"Akeilia?...Didn't Leon or Monique told you what happened...Uh.. just forget it".
I look at him. My curiosity reached maximum.
"What? Don't stop there continue". Did something happen to Michael? Is that why they wouldn't tell me anything about him?
He look as if he's starting to feel uneasy. I grit my teeth.
"Lenoy if you know something tell me". I saw when he swallowed. "Lenoy!" I demanded. My heart rate increases. His gaze look more relaxed now, softly looking at me with pity.
"Michael left the country few weeks ago". I swallowed the lump at my throat. More tears filled my eyes.
"You still love him don't you?" I wiped my tears and sniff. "It d-doesn't matter now". I look at my belly and remembered something.
"I saw you kissed a woman at the party. Your no longer single". I look at him. "No I'm not".
"Do you still love me?" He look at me for a few seconds. I see hurt and sadness in his eyes. "How can I stop?" He breath out. I feel so guilty. I feel guilty that I can't love him the way he wants me to. But it's hard.
I can't believe Michael left. Was it a business trip? Or was it to escape the torture I've caused him. What if he find someone else? What if that person is capable of making him forget?
"Why do you still love me? You need to get married and start a family with a woman who loves you and not just someone who's pregnant for you and in love with someone else?" He look away from me.
"Why do you still love me Lenoy!" I yelled and nudged him before I started to cry again. He hugged me but I fought for him to let go. He didn't. He just hold me tighter. "I don't know". He breath out.
I suddenly feel the urge to hug him.
You need comfort at this moment, so don't fight.
I wrapped my arms around him taking advantage of his comfort, sobbing.
"I'll be leaving soon. How am I gonna be able to help take care of my child if I'm not close to you. I won't have the time". I sadly chuckle.
"You won't have to leave. I think Michael already convinced the council to cancel that".
"What?"
"So nice of him isn't it?" I cried even more. "He told you he'll do that?" I nod. He hugged me tighter. Michael is crazy to the point where he'd kill. but he has a good heart. He wanted someone to be there for me throughout my pregnancy even though it killed him knowing it wasn't his. I've never regretted anything in my life so much as this. I wish I could go back in time. But there's no point wishing for that.
"Can you tell me exactly when you got pregnant. Don't take it as an offence please. Just answer the question".
I should be angry at him for asking me this. But I don't have the strength to. "The night in the bar. You satisfied now?" Besides I was at the estate with Michael. He just wants to make sure it's his baby.
"I'm sorry Akeilia". Sorry?
"I'm.. sorry for taking advantage of you that night". He kissed the top of my head. Something Michael would've done to comfort me.
"Did Michael said anything before he left".
"I'm the last person he'd come to. Don't you think?" I laugh sadly before started crying again. "I'm s-sorry for asking". It's hard to accept that he really left. "I understand". I tightly shut my eyes and started to cry a lot more. Is this the end of Michael and I?
