It's been Eleven weeks since I landed in Miami. Loving the climate I decide to settle down for a while. Getting myself a decent apartment nothing fancy, small but comfortable. A living room fitted with two couches and a shelf I have filled with books from the library I found downtown. Stocked kitchen with the necessary appliances the cabinets fit everything I have. A bedroom, fitted with my bed, vanity, and closet. A bathroom with a toilet seat, a showerhead, and a small bathtub.
I like it that way, small and homey.
I haven't made contact with anyone, they probably think I died or something. I admit I miss them pretty much but I choose to keep my babies safe from that bitch for as long as I can.
I have made friends here, Derrick and Sasha. I ran into them the first time I moved in. They insisted that a pregnant woman shouldn't carry grocery bags on her own.
They always come to check up on me only to make me cook for them claiming that they have never tasted anything like what I make.
"...Kaylee, did you even hear me?" Sasha sighs pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Am sorry, what did you say?" I inquire sipping my mango juice and placing the glass back on the table.
"You do that a lot." Sasha retorts rolling her eyes.
"What?" I ask looking at Derrick for help but he just shrugs.
"Zoning out. You do that a lot." She answers.
"Am sorry... It's just that..." I begin to realize what I was about to do. I shut up.
I have told them about the issue with my baby daddy and his crazy girlfriend but nothing too detailed.
"It's okay. Come on, let's get to the beach. We didn't come here to eat and drink all day." Sasha says giving me a lopsided smile and we all head to the beach.
Getting a spot I lay a blanket then take off my booty shorts and tank top leaving me in my neon bikinis. My big belly protruding I put on a black cover-up since I didn't like the attention I was getting.
The last time I came here, Derrick got into a fight with one of the guys who wouldn't listen and kept groping my ass. Almost made me never come here.
"I wish I had that ass." Sasha murmurs and I laugh when Derrick spanks her on her butt making her squeal.
"I love your ass babe the way it jingles when am giving you back s..." He discloses making me fake gag and Sasha to blush.
"TMI Rick!" I shout as I look around the beach for any children, fortunately, there wasn't any around.
"Don't act as if you don't do the deed, cause you are carrying the evidence right there." Rick comments pointing towards my belly and I blush rubbing my hands over my belly.
"So, have you decided on the names yet?" Sasha asked applying sunscreen all over her body. Again.
"Not yet, I am going for a doctor's appointment tomorrow. You wanna come?" I ask hopefully. The last one I was bored out of my mind listening to those nurses gossiping about Jennifer having an affair with the head doctor. Trust me, I didn't want to hear the details of how his dick looks like.
"Of course. I thought you'd never ask!" Sasha says giddily making me smile.
"And maybe I can make you pregnant, what do you say? Fuck you on..." Derrick whispers into Sasha's ears but he's still loud enough for me to hear making me laugh.
"You guys are impossible," I say watching the waves. Deciding to take a walk on the beach, I excuse myself from the two love birds. This has always been the drill, us coming to the beach, them making out and me walking on the beach shore. Alone. Until some sick fuck decides to bless me with his presence.
"Be safe!" Sasha calls out. I roll my eyes, walking away from them.
Walking on sand has been my dream since I was young. Being raised in foster homes, one after another, I never really got the privilege to travel. My caregivers never cared about me. All they cared for is the cheque they received every month. Some were nice some not very much but I'm always grateful I didn't end up in the streets. Doing drugs or worse, dead. I wipe the stray tears off my cheek.
My feet start to hurt and I decide to sit on the sand for a while. I take out my phone ready to dial Mia's number but I decide against it. Instead, I rub my belly, a warm feeling fills my heart and a huge smile takes over my face. I feel my babies kicking and I giggle.
I wasn't supposed to stay here for long. I wasn't supposed to even make friends here, I should have left weeks ago but I just didn't have the energy to move. Again. I kept an extra eye, for any signs of anyone following me or asking about me. Call me paranoid but I sure as hell wouldn't want Isabella finding me.
"Hello, there pretty lady." An unfamiliar voice from behind greets me making me turn to look at him.
Behind me stands a male specimen half naked showing off his biceps and ripped and. A tattoo covers his broad chest which I must say is defined making it known he works out regularly.
"A picture would last longer sugar." He says kneeling in front of me.
"Cocky much," I say uninterested, the last thing would like to be involved in. Arrogant assholes.
"Don't act as if I didn't catch you staring at me." He retorts with a smirk.
"What do you want?" I ask irritated.
"Feisty. I like that." He replies. I stare at him and he shifts uncomfortably.
"Okay, sorry. I just wanted to say hey." He says making me roll my eyes.
"I'm sure you have already said that," I say turning to look at the passing strangers.
"You don't have to act as if you are not interested in me cause I know you are." He says.
"Am not, asshole. Now leave me the fuck alone." I glare at him.
" But y-"
"I believe she said you leave her alone." A familiar voice says behind me. I gasp.
I didn't expect to see him. Ever.
