Butterflies

Chapter 47

The next day,

Jasmine was still asleep while Michael had a meeting at his at home office with Ricky who got the papers from that morning, he'd send someone to the nearest station to get the free paper to check the news since the stores weren't open yet

"The front page, really?" Michael shook his head at the paper and the magazine Ricky dropped at the desk

"Yes and it gets worse, they found out who you're dating since they did some digging around and found out Marlon invested in a bakery that's owned by a single mother who's a Latina and according to the woman that wrote the article, she said the girls were a Latin girl and a Black girl so the rumor is the Latina that owns the bakery was in money trouble then met you and you supposedly supported her startup company and you guys fell Inlove and had twins, one looks Latin like her mother and one looks Black like her father" Ricky mentioned "Oh and they're not sure how I fit in the picture, they've two theories about that" He added

"Let me guess, you were in need of a job and you fell Inlove with me and I felt sorry for you so I hired you?" Michael rolled his eyes

"And the other theory is you left me for the bakery woman because she can give you kids and I can't" Ricky mentioned

"Oh so atleast I'm not totally gay in their minds" Michael shook his head

"As if anyone would believe that, I mean seriously you are far from gay" Ricky told him

"Oh I know that, my family knows that, my fans know that, Jasmine knows that, everyone that knows me knows that, the majority of the general public knows that, and I bet even the trashbloids know it but they decided to ignore it and make up their bullshit story to boost their pathetic sales" Michael replied and shook his head

"So you're ignoring them or release a statement?" Ricky asked

"I think it's best to ignore it for now, just make sure there's more security available for the girls when they go to school, I know there's no pictures of them in the papers, but they do have your pictures so someone else should do the school runs until this dies down and I've to talk to Jasmine, about what she wants to do now" Michael replied

"I could ask one of the other guys to do the school runs and I've to call Frank back, he's been blowing up my phone and mentioned that Lisa chick again, to get the attention away from your actual girlfriend" Ricky answered

"Tell him if he mentions her one more time I'll fire him and get a restraining order against her" Michael mentioned

"He's still pissed he has to follow my orders too" Ricky smirked and left the at home office to call Frank after he went to get his phone at his bungalow

"I knew this day was going to happen some day, I just hoped Nicole would've been older" Michael thought and sighed while he sat down behind his desk and threw his back while he closed his eyes for a minute and sighed once more

"There you are, I was looking for you, I missed you when I woke up and you weren't next to me" Jasmine mentioned stepping into his office and made her way towards him "Why are you up so early?" She asked and sat down on his lap

"Ricky send someone to get the paper before the stores open" Michael mentioned and sighed "I'm sorry for the lies they're going to write about you and for the ones they already wrote about you and us" He told her

"I'm not intresting" Jasmine replied and shrugged her shoulders

"Well you are, because of her" Michael mentioned and placed his hand on her bump

"Maybe it's a boy" Jasmine mentioned and smiled at him "And well I'm not pregnant forever so I'll probably be unintresting again after I gave birth" She continued "I don't need the stress during my pregnancy, so as long as I have you and the girls with me I'll manage, knowing you three are safe" She promised and kissed him

"Well it's rediclious what they wrote tho, they said I hired Ricky because I felt sad for him and he supposedly fell in love with me but I left him for the 'bakery woman' because she could give me me kids and he couldn't, I mean what kind of stupid story is that? As if I'd hire someone because I feel sorry for them, no I hired Ricky because he's always been like family and he's actually good at what he does, he took some courses and stuff and really why would I let him still work for me or why would he even want to work for me after I supposedly broke his heart? I mean it's pathetic the shit they make up" Michael replied, scoffed and shook his head

"Seriously they think you're Bi?" Jasmine shook her head

"They're crazy, so be prepared for the amount of crazy stories once they found your name, for now you're only 'The bakery woman' that gave birth to my daughter's" Michael replied

"Should we give a statement or an interview?" Jasmine asked

"I don't know, I mean if we do, they know your name and everything" Michael answered

"But it's our chance to tell our story before they come up with more crazy stories about us" Jasmine mentioned

"True" Michael sighed

"Besides it won't be long until I can't hide my bump anymore, I mean I can still get away with wearing a thick fleece jacket or thick winter coat now and people will think it's the fabric but I can't do that much longer" Jasmine mentioned

"True, so you really want to do an interview?" Michael asked her

"No, but we don't have a choice I think" Jasmine replied

"I know" Michael sighed
