I've been sick for the past seven days now and so I've been unable to come to work.
I sent an email to Mr Greenwood but he didn't respond, so I'm guessing he saw it and chose to ignore it or he saw it or he did and he ignored it.
Miriam came to see me on the third day with Vera, I asked her if she communicated my Illness with him and she confirmed that she did.
Well he didn't just care I guess.
On the 7th day, I went to the hospital to do a proper check up and I was asked to do a pregnancy test.
I was a bit shocked because the thought of being pregnant never really came to my head. I mean the last time I had raw s*x was with Mr Greenwood and I took pills the very next morning.
But anyways I did get the pregnancy test tube and I used the urine method to run the test and dropped it on the center table and totally forgot about it.
I had a long nap and then I was woken up by my door bell ringing.
I checked the time and it was few minutes past 8pm.
I strolled to the living room to check who it was and then remembered my pregnancy test tube on the table.
I checked it and my heart sank.
Literally.
Holy s**t there must be a mistake!
Maybe it wasn't just reading well??
I'm pregnant???
Two lines?? two lines how??? how??
I dropped the tube on the table and went to answer the door bell.
My face was white as snow
My limbs were shaking, visibly shaking.
"M...Mr Greenwood?".
There's no way he was standing in front of my door after finding out that I'm pregnant!
It's a dream, it's all a fucken dream, I'll wake up soon enough.
"Hello Michelle ", he said.
"H...how do you know where I live?", I asked so shocked .
"I know where all my employees live",he said casually.
"Can I come in?", he asked.
I swallowed hard and let him in.
He started looking around the house, "This is cheap compared to what I pay you monthly ", he mumbled.
I swallowed hard again.
My heart was beating tremendously fast.
I'm pregnant?? I'm pregnant??
For Mr Greenwood?? howw?? how?? but I took pills the next morning?? how did they not work??
"I heard you were sick, decided to come check up on you", he said.
But my mind wasn't here.
I'm pregnant, how far am I gone? can I have an abortion? do I want to have an abortion? can I raise a baby?? can I raise a baby alone? do I have to let him know about it??
"Michelle", he called dragging me out of my thoughts.
"Mhhm? oh uhm, yeahh, I've been sick, but I'll be at work on Monday, I promise", I said.
"How are you feeling now?",he asked coming closer to me.
He doesn't even remember I'm the one he f****d, what if it was a drunk night to him too and he doesn't remember me?
Or what if this is all up in my head and we never f****d? what if it's just someone that looks so much like him? I'm pregnant for a one night stand stranger that I don't even know!.
"Uhmm...sick", I said stepping back a little and then hitting the center table and then kicking the test tube on the floor. He reached to help me but I immediately stopped him, he was faster and he saw it.
He saw it... he looked up at me..
"Whose is this?", he asked.
I swallowed hard.
This was none of his business right? he as just my boss, I could ignore the question.
But I couldn't.
"Mine", my own voice betrayed me.
He looked at me again, slowly, I could see the shock on his face, he had the look too.
"You're pregnant?", he asked calmly.
"Yeah it's uhm .. personal life issues, nothing that has to do with work or anything, so I'll just take that thank you", I said reaching to get it from him but he stopped me.
"Whose baby?", he asked calmly.
I swallowed hard.
I don't know.
"Was this...is this from the night we f****d?".
Wait
Hold the f**k on
He remembers???
"Wait, you remembered everything that happens?", I asked shocked.
"Of course, the picture of your maroon dress is still at the back of my mind", he said in a flirty voice.
"Why did you... why have you been?... why didn't you -"
"Did you want me to talk about us f*****g at work? or did you want things to get awkward?", he asked.
"So... wait I'm sorry, you remembered? all this while I thought I've been seeing things and that maybe I was mistaking you for someone else".
"The infinity necklace you were everyday is the same with the bracelet on my hand, how could you not notice?".
Now I was looking really stupid.
"But-"
"Michelle that's not necessary right now, whose the father?".
I swallowed hard, "It's you".
He sighed and rubbed his head .
"Give me one reason to believe you, I met you at the club, I'm not saying you are but... you could just be a random girl that f***s strangers on their first night", he said.
Excuse me!
"First of all, incase you've forgotten, i found my fiancee cheating on me with my best friend that night, that was the only reason I came out that night and I was drunk to stupor, sad, depressed, that's the only reason I had that affair with you, I'm a decent person, I don't go that way. Besides I moved here the next week and you've been literally killing me with work, what time do you think I have to f**k random men and even think about my ex and get depressed or sad", I stated.
He nodded, "Alright, first of all, keep this very quiet, no one and I mean no one can find out about it, then take the rest of next week off and think about what you want. Do you want to keep the baby or not, the choice is yours, I'll respect whatever decision you make", he said calmly.
Wow, that was so unexpected.
"Are you for real?".
"Yeah it's your body and our baby so .. it's your choice Michelle, I really don't mind".
I swallowed hard, this was so sweet I definitely didn't see this coming from someone like Mr Greenwood.
I actually thought he'd tell me to remove the pregnancy asap.
But he's being a gentleman by telling me to choose whatever I wanted.
That's so beautiful.
Was this real? or was I still dreaming?
