Chapter 44
They're gonna be mixed POVS. You'll know who they are once you start reading.
“Why did you call me over here?” I keep pacing back and forth. I've been doing it for a few minutes now, thinking.
“I did something very stupid”.
“Stop pacing like an ass and tell me what's up. I have a pregnant wife I need to go home to before she chop my balls off”. He firmly hold on to my shoulders so I'd stay steady.
“Problem”.
“I had sex with Akeilia”. Leon looked surprise. But smiled afterwards and let hold from my shoulders.
“Woow. How did that happen?”
“She consumed excessive amount of alcohol and was really drunk. The worst part, she thought she was doing it with her manager”.
“How?” He raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe it's because of where it happened. Foggy eyes whatever Leon. I don't know what to do. I feel as if I took advantage of her”.
“You did take advantage of her Michael”.
“I didn't call you here to make me feel worst”. I glare.
He sigh.“Alright what do you want me to do?” When I think about it, I don't want him here for anything. He can't help me feel better. I'm on my own with this one. I wouldn't feel so damn guilty if she knew I did it.
I tell him practically everything. I just called him here to..tell him. Shit now I sound stupid.
“Are you sure it wasn't how good she was, and thinking of another with her is bothering you the most?” I look at him.
“How the heck did you know that?” Where the hell did my father found you Leon?
“For that question, I know you way too long to not know how you think. I'm sure you'd figure me out too. I have way more experience than you have. Besides, I would be acting the same way if I was in your shoes and if she wasn't good, you wouldn't be thinking about it so much”. He chuckle.
He shove his hands into his pockets. “Ok listen. It's eating you up because you preferred she'd known that you were the one who did it. You probably even thought that you did it a hundred times better than that manager, when she only believe that he's the one who did it. You don't want her to feel that way about him. Where the heck did that happen anyways?”
“It was in her bar. Something like what I have in my office. We had a little fight. When I went back to apologise I found out she was there”. I need her so badly.
“Oh, well, try getting closer to her. Maybe when found out that time she won't be upset. Wait are you planning to tell her?”
“Not yet, but till then please don't tell Monique. You know she'll tell her”.
“Do you know how crazy that woman is? It's Akeilia we're talking about here. She won't be happy when she found out”.
“I've seen you dealt with worst. Do this for me man”.
“I wish you didn't tell me”.
“Leon”. I glared. “Yeah whatever, fine”. I smile a bit. Good.
“You remember that psychology thing you thought me? Well during sex she called me Lenoy. I told her to not call my name”.
“Ahh that's gonna make her believe that Lenoy was really the one she had sex with, but...”. He rubbed his hand over his mouth. One hand still in his pocket.
“If I were you and she called another guy's name during sex, my d*ck would've already shrink to the size of a peanut”. He smiled. I can see the laughter playing on his lips.
“It would if she'd continue. I told her not to say it again before I cum too fast”. I chuckle. He gave me a small punch in the chest. “I'm not teaching you anymore”.
“Oh I think I've learned enough”. The both of us laughed.
“Something else happened”.
“Make it fast because I know that mad woman would be ringing down my phone very soon”.
“I was gonna bring her home but the manager showed up”. His eyes widen.
“No way”. He pulled me towards the couch. “Sit sit”. I did and he sat to the other end. Straighten his tie, brushing off his suit as if preparing for the best speech. “Go on”.
After I told him everything he keeps looking at me. “Your better than I thought. I just hope the psychology worked”.
“So you support me?”
He stand after his phone started ringing. He ignored it and pat my back. “Always. Don't ask me that. You've always been there for me”. He finished before answering his phone.
“I'm at Michael's...Yes I'm on my way...Oh I'll be there sooner than you think”.
“Pregnant wife nature's calling. I'm not staying here any longer. Ba bye rich boy”. I shake my head with a smile.

Why is she on the floor? I rushed to her. Even though I don't know what's wrong with her, I tried to comfort her with an embrace.
“I'm sorry for doing this without your permission, but I've missed you and I'm glad your ok”. The moment I heard her voice I knew that something was wrong. A part of me wanted to leave because I don't think I should be around her. I've been avoiding her, especially because of that deal I made with Michael. I should fought for her, but I know I'll be fighting a losing battle. I just feel that I should try to push my feelings aside and allow him to have her.
I just can't get the image of him f*ck*ng her out of my head. Apart of me felt like he was teasing me about it.
“Are you OK?” I asked. I did my research on the both of them. They do have a lot of history. A history I don't think I can go against. But it's still worth a try.
Why the hell is she crying like this? Did she found out? She tried to stand and I helped her up. She walked towards the bed, then called me over by the gesture of her hand.
“Akeilia”. I demanded. I'm trying so much to keep my distance. I'm yearning to make love to her again, but I know that'll never happen. I'm not doubting myself, but I'm old enough to recognize a losing battle.
“H-How do I put this?” After a while I rest my hand on her shoulder.
“What is it?” Come out with it Akeilia.
“I'm... P-Pregnant”. I look at her belly, then back to her face. Huh?
“Your pregnant?” Why is she telling me this? I didn't expect any better. That selfish bastard is very manipulative. He always gets what he wants. Even got me to betray her trust. Of course he'll get her to sleep with him. It only hurts me more thinking of this.
“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”. My eyes widen. I look at her belly then back at her face again. She's pregnant for me? I actually have a chance and here I was thought I'd never. I won't even think twice about her certainty.
I lay my hand on her belly.
“Are you sure?” I didn't say I wouldn't question it. She frown before removing my 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?” I'm a f*ck*ng stupid. She's not happy about it. She's still not mine.
“Six weeks or so”. Six weeks? Six weeks, six weeks. That was about the time when...No wait both of us had sex with her six weeks ago. Shit how do I know it's mine? But it's her body she has to know.
“Have you finished checking the dates of every guy I slept with?”
“I'm sorry, it just automatically happen”.
“Uh huh”. She seems upset. “Your unbelievable”. Even when she's angry she's beautiful. It doesn't matter if she doesn't love me. She will one day.
“Sorry about that”. I looked away for a while thinking, before focussing back on her. . “How did Michael felt about this? Did you tell him before he-”.
“Please...Just don't...”. I frown when I saw pain flash in her eyes. “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”. What? Is she aware of what happened to Michael?
“Akeilia?...Didn't Leon or Monique told you what happened...Uh.. just forget it”.
I just have a feeling she won't let this go.
“What? Don't stop there continue”. It's obvious they didn't tell her. If they didn't that mean it's for a reason. I'm not gonna be the one who spilled the beans.
What must I tell her?
“Lenoy if you know something tell me”. “Lenoy!” I know.
“Michael left the country few weeks ago”. I don't know what they told her, but if anything I'll have to come up with something else.
“You still love him don't you?”
“It d-doesn't matter now”. I want to ask her what happened but it doesn't matter. As soon as she found out what happened to him, all her fighting to forget him will come to an end. I just can't deal with that. I can't help the part of me that wish he was dead. Then maybe I would have Akeilia all to myself. I forced the thought at the back of my head, mostly due to the fact that I came from a Christian background.
“I saw you kissed a woman at the party. Your no longer single”. I deliberately did that for her to see, thinking that she'd get jealous and confront me. You know, any sign to show that she has a little feeling for me, but it never happened.
“No I'm not”. I wanna move on. Partially, but she's pregnant with my baby.
“Do you still love me?” I look at her. If only she knew how much.
“How can I stop?” I probably shouldn't have said that but...I need to let it out.
What is so special about Michael?
Firstly he can get any woman he wants. Why couldn't he let me have this one!
“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?” I look away. As much as I'd like to deny it. She's right.
I need to focus on my life. This lady sitting beside me is Michael's life. Yet I can't seem to stop loving her. Worst now she's carrying my child. This hurts too much.
“Why do you still love me Lenoy!” She pushed me, but I hugged her. This is the closest I can be to her might as well take advantage of it. I hold her more after she tried to push me off. I love you so much.
“I don't know”. Tears came to my eyes but I fought it back. I never imagined myself holding my boss, loving her like this.
After a while she gave up wrapping her arms around me crying. The first time I saw her cry, I was surprised. She didn't try to hold it like some would. She just let it out. That's how I know she trust me. She wouldn't have broken down in front of me if she didn't cause she probably would've thought that I'd tell the whole building.
It hurts more now because I broke that trust. But I'll just have to play along.
“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”.
“You won't have to leave. I think Michael already convinced the council to cancel that”. What?
“What?”
“So nice of him isn't it?” He would've made me keep my job? To be closer to my child. No that's not an act of selfishness. She has to be joking.
“He told you he'll do that?” Her reply was a small nod. He isn't as heartless as I thought he was. He'd really do that for me?
More like for Akeilia. But nonetheless, not many guy in his position would've done that. It had to kill him deep inside to found out the truth. I would've rubbed the fact in his face, but I don't want to anymore. I take back the death wish I made on him.
Somehow I knew he gave me that position to make it up to Akeilia, because he know how upset she is about costing me my job. So in the end he'll still win.
Something is still puzzling me. It's obvious she didn't got pregnant during the time at the estate, but...
“Can you tell me exactly when you got pregnant. Don't take it as an offence please. Just answer the question”. I just wanna be certain.
“The night in the bar. You satisfied now?” I shut my eyes, but quickly open them. No no no no.
Michael said that Akeilia was drunk. She would've thought that I was the father because she doesn't know that Michael was the one with her that night. She thought is was me.
How could she remember that she had sex, yet she doesn't remember who she did it with! How? What did he do to her?
I just knew somehow that I was fighting a losing battle.
As much as I wanna tell her the truth, I'm still gonna have to hold my end of the bargain. For my sake. Now I sound selfish. But what other choice do I have?
“I'm sorry Akeilia”. You have to do this Lenoy.
“I'm.. sorry for taking advantage of you that night”. I kissed the top of her head.
Oh I wish you were mine.
Give your thoughts about Lenoy.
I hope you're enjoyed this.
