Plus one

Chapter 6

🌹 Talia 🌹

"Matty are you sure Caroline is okay with it?"

"Yes she knows us, she said you should go out and have fun. Plus Mia this will be good for your business we talked about it. So you better get ready."

"I would have loved it if you asked me before. The day I don't have my wig on you decide and tell me this. I just hope no one that knows me is there."

"You mean someone that knew Mia Miller/King, not Talia Cooper. But don't worry I checked and no one is going to be there. So don't worry now can you help with my tie? I don't know how to tie it."

"Yeah don't worry and thank you for taking care of my baby and me. I'm so thankful and grateful to you."

"Lil sis I love you and I will always be here with you."

Walking together hand in hand in one of these formal gatherings I once went with my husband. Now I walk in with my best friend and with my baby girl. I decided to wear something that is form fitting so my bump is on display. People will think we are married and expecting and we will just play along. For a perfect night, I will do anything. I miss going out and having fun.

We walk to our table Matt pulls my chair and I sit down. He sits next to me and we start talking with each other and people come and talk to us. Matt introduces me as his wife and they congratulate us on our marriage and the baby. We just thanked them but there were some other people that surprised me by saying that I look like they'd seen me before but I'm sure I hadn't met them before. I just answered that I just have a familiar face and we just laughed. After they left Matt was concerned about me but I just laughed it off. The ball started and we go back to our table.

Just as another person was about to speak I excuse myself to go to the bathroom. As I walk towards the bathroom I hear someone I feel like I know that voice. I walk closer to the person but everything went silent and someone calls 'Mia' and my heart drops. I turn around slowly and I know it was a mistake since know my name is Talia but I couldn't help it. And what to see a mother calling her girl. I snap out of it and go to the bathroom.

I wash my hands and someone shoves open the door. "Matt what are you doing? I was just finishing up."

"Yeah, I just came to get you. This ball is really depressing so we are leaving now."

"Are you sure we can stay here a few more hours? I don't mind."

"No no we should go."

"Matt is everything okay? Did something happen?"

"Yes, everything's fine now why don't we go to in-and-out and get a burger? I would die for a burger now." He says as we are about to walk out of the building when I hear another familiar voice. Matt walks before me and I stop to look at the owner of the voice. But I don't remember him I wonder why I know his voice. "Talita what are you doing? Let's go." He says and we go to Matt's car.

A few days passed by and Vanessa has come back home. We haven't talked with each other yet about how the weekend with the Kings went. But I'm sure it went well they loved Nessa even before they knew she was dating their son. Also, I know Laura and Nana would make her feel at home. Even though I'm a little curious about how things went. 'You want to know about him just say it' brain stop it. None of us wants to accept it but it is true. I may not love him like before but I still care about him after all he is the father of my baby girl.

I've been writing a lot these past few months. Well during my pregnancy and I think it helped me understand my feelings and maybe someday when my daughter asks me I can just show her this journal. Of course when she's over 18 since I do curse her father a few times. Well very often especially on the first pages but now it's rarely.
