The One Who Got Away

Chapter 10

    "Is it bad that I wish this child would vacate my body?" I spoke biting into a cracker and looking at Cassidy who looked at me and laughed. 

        "It's normal, and just think it was worst with Amelia." She looked around "Where is..Amelia?"

    I grinned "She is with Papa, she refused to leave him when we went by to grab my basket, and their pleading eyes got to me."

    "Oh free day." She grinned "Should we go shopping?"

            I shook my head, "I'm not feeling the hottest today, I've almost pasted out today a few times."

    "Have you talked to your doctor." I shook my head and touched the side of my stomach "No, but the nurse said I should keep an eye out and go to the hospital if something worse happens. f*****g bed rest again...I can feel it."

    She snatched a cracker out of my hand frowning and taking a bite of it, "Well maybe you should take it easy then."

  "I have a toddler and a full time job that I do from home. There are deadlines." I spoke.

        I stood up and winced falling back down into my seat. "Would it be wrong to evacuate this child from my body early." I took deep breaths before attempting to stand up again. "It'll be fine, and no." She spoke.

    "Your not the one who can't fit anything and has swollen feet, I don't want to hear it."

    "Well not yet." She sipped her drink looking up at the ceiling.

        "WAIT! Come again."

        "I may have slipped up with someone recently." She looked down chewing on her cheek.

    "Are you?" I looked at her stomach and she shrugged "I don't know, I'm scared to take the test."

        "Oh what are the odds." I spoke and she looked at me "I don't know, I just been feeling different for two months and I just...I feel different." 

    "I'm the godmom and that's all I'm saying." I stood and walked over to my phone that dinged.

L- Good afternoon A.

Me- I wish it could be better.

L- What's the problem?

Me- This child needing to evacuate my body, I'm seriously thinking about evicting her.

L- Lmao, you only have a few more months to go

Me- I'm tired of people telling me that.

    Before I could send a text back, Cassidy looked at me "Who are you always texting?" She grabbed for my phone and I smacked her hand "Who's your possible baby daddy?" She froze and I raised my eyebrow "Point taken." and she pulled her hand back.

        I set my phone down and stretched my back "I just need a hot bath and someone to rub my back."

    "Among other things that you need." Cassidy grinned "God don't remind me, I haven't since I was first pregnant and I almost nutted when I smelled this guys cologne the other day."

        She grinned "Maybe you should stare at." I threw a pillow and her and glared "Shut...Up"

    She shrugged her arms up and looked at her phone "Oh s**t, I've got a meeting with the bank in 30 minutes." She kissed my forehead dashing for the door and leaving it opened, as I walked to the door to close it. To my surprise someone was on the other side of it "Samuel, what brings you to my house?"

        "Calissa asked me to drop off some files to her." He held them up and I looked in the house to see my aunt coming down the stairs and so I moved out of the way. "Well there you are dear." Calissa pushed her hair back which meant she was flirting with him. I rolled my eyes and walked away from them. "I'm getting ready to go out." Calissa stopped me as I grabbed my keys "Is that such a good idea with what happen this morning." I looked at her "I have to pick Amelia up from papa in 3 hours and I've got some things that I need to do for work." Sam looked between us "What happen?"

    "Oh she fainted." I glared at her "It's none of your concern." I walked passed him and he grabbed my arm  and every part of my body felt it, the sparks traveled up and down my body, "Are you ok?" I snatched my arm from him "Don't touch me, and don't pretend to be concerned." 

    "Ali, please." Sam said

        "f**k off Samuel." I walked to my car and got in and took a deep breath, why...why did he still affect me in the way that he did. 

=================================================================================

    I was walking through the mall, when I heard "Alisha is that you?" I closed my eyes and turned not knowing who was there.

        I put on a smile and turned to see the girl who bullied me all the way up to high school, Nichole. I raised my eyebrow and crossed my arm as she approached "Well I just never thought I would see you again." She made it a point to push her hair back and show her diamond ring that was on her finger. This is why I always hated the stuck up kids in my school, they always thought they were better them someone else.

    "Well If it makes you feel better, I wasn't trying to see you." I could see her eye twitch. "I heard you were back in town. Are you coming to the MSH gathering?" I c****d my head to the side "Why exactly would I want to do that?" She put her hands together "Well it's at my parents estate and it I think you should come. It's tomorrow and I'm sure everyone would like to know what you've been up to." She looked down at my belly before looking back up at my hand "You can bring your Spouse." 

        "He's dead. Thanks for the invite." I turned and walked away running my hand through my curls. There is nothing I wanted to do more then not be around the people who helped make my life a living hell. Even when older brothers that ran with the popular group, I was stilled picked on by all of the girls around me. They felt like it would make them feel better I guess, besides Cassidy back in school and randomly Summer I never really had many people around. Going to my brothers parties didn't make things better, I mostly got so f****d up I blacked out and wake up in my bed.

    I shook my head not trying to think about it as I finished up what I was doing at the mall and making my way to my car.
