Lea's p.o.v
So not only was I to lead this damn meeting I had to do it in front of my unborn child's father.
He saw me and looked shocked. He gave me a slight smile when I walked over to talk to him.
"Mr. Maras we're very happy to have you here and I must apologize because Mr. Good had an emergency that couldn't wait. I will be leading the meeting".
"You will be leading the meeting Mrs?"
"It's Ms. Collins sir." I said annoyed.
"Please follow me this way to the meeting room." I said and started walking.
He followed me and we all sat down with Mrs. Becky a 56 year old who would sometimes become the assistant whenever I had to fill in for Mr. Good.
I began presenting the various advertisement that we couldn't decide on as the one.
Kostas sat there quietly as I presented the advertisements. I finished presenting and asked Kostas what his opinion was. He asked a few easy questions and I was able to answer then.
I was surprised when he said he wanted to talk to me privately, and asked his assistant and Mrs. Becky to leave the room.
After they had left, he just sat there and stare at me.
"So Mr. Maras what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh so it's Mr. Maras now Lea?" He said with a smirk.
" I didn't know what you wanted me to call you."
"How about the name that you called me a few weeks ago. I mean you moaned it a lot that night." He said.
I blushed and looked away.
"Kostas why don't you tell me which advertisement you like."
"That's better, I like the second one" he said.
"Ok I liked that one the best too." I said while writing down what he had said.
"So why did you leave that morning?" Kostas asked out of nowhere.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"You heard me, why did you leave that morning?" He asked again annoyed.
"Uhm I didn't think that you would want to see me that morning." I said looking everywhere but him.
"Why would I do that?! I invited you to my suite! I could have taken you to a dump but I invited you to my suite! I pretty much live there!" He exclaimed.
"Look I've never had a one night stand before! Ok I left I thought that you would want to avoid the awkwardness that would be there when we were both awake! I didnt know you wanted me to stay! In every movie when people have one night stands they always want the girl or guy to leave ASAP." I said.
"So you're basing your theory off of movies?!" He said while rubbing his temples.
"Look I'm sorry, I made a call that was bad but why are you so worked about me? I mean you don't really know me so why are you so worked up about this?"
"You're the only woman who has ever left me. I invited you to basically my home and you left me in the morning."
"So you're upset that I left you! Get your ego in check Mr. Maras, good day!" I said. I walked out of the meeting room. I ignored everyone and copied all the notes that Mrs. Becky and I had taken, I put some in my desks and the others I put it on Mr. Good's desk.
I grabbed my stuff and left the office. I had done my job for the day and needed to leave because I couldn't handle seeing Kostas. At least not the after I find out that I'm pregnant with his baby.
I got home and found out that my parents had left me a note on the answering machine. Yes I have a house phone, those things still exist.
My mom and dad were telling me to call them and that it was urgent. So I called them, and my mom picked up.
"Hey mom what's up?"
"Lea do you remember your aunt Trina?" She asked.
"Yeah I used to go over her house and even took care of her when she was sick. She's been out of the country and sometimes I send her letters and receive letters from her. Why do you ask?"
"Well uhm I don't know how to tell you this but she's dead. She was on a boat to an Island and it sunk in the ocean. Apparently there were no survivors." She whispered.
"What?! No no no, this can't be happening she's not dead. She's fine. Did they find her body?"
"No Lea the coast guards were trying to contact the captain and apparently there was a big storm that day. The boat washed up on shore broken and they only found the captain's body. Her body is still at sea." She wept over the phone.
"And what about dad how's he doing."
"He's upset he hasn't spoken ever since he found out. That was this morning around 3. He hasn't eaten all day today, he must be in shock."
"Poor dad I'll come over now." I said while getting my belongings.
"Honey don't you have work to do?"
"Mom I left early, I'm on my way."
I made a dash for the subway and in 45 minutes I was at my parents doorstep. My mom open the door and immediately hugged me.
"Hi mom how are you holding up?"
"I'm good sweetie i'm just happy to see you."
"I'm happy to see you too where's dad?"
"He's in the den"
I walked into the house and straight to the den. My mom still had a lot of African designs. My mom being the awesome African that she is always wanted to represent her culture even though she was married to a white man.
They were the cutest couple ever. They had met in high school and started dating in the end of senior year. My dad was tall while my mom was short. She barely reached his armpit.
When I reached the den I found my dad sitting behind his desk looking through pictures of him with my aunt. She raised him when their parents couldn't and he had a very close bond with her.
"Hey dad"
My dad just looked up and I saw his eyes were red. He looked broken and lost and I couldn't blame him. I walked over to him and hugged him. I cried on his shoulder, while he cried too.
We stayed like that for a while and finally he looked up at me and said.
"We have a lot to talk about"
