Not A Cinderella

April.

Waking up with a splitting head ache, I sat up. The images from last night instantly coming back, I jumped out of bed. "April what are you doing? you can't be running around" "why the hell not?" "What if you fall on your wrist" looking at my wrist, I tried racking my Brain of what happened at the hospital. When the memories came flooding back, i walked out of my room then ran down the stairs and out the front.
My car.. my fucking pride and joy is destroyed. "April?" "My car Gerald" "fuck the car, are you alright?" "Do I look alright to you?" "No you look injured" "I'm fine" walking up to my car, i ran my hands over the back of it then walked around the front just staring at it. "April come on, come back inside" "do I look like I want to come back inside?" "Looking at it isnt going to help" not saying another word, I opened the passenger door checking through the center console then the glove box. There isnt anything in either of them which I expected but I had to check.
Grabbing my phone, I rang James.
"James malroy" "forgotten me already James" "April?" "That's me" "shit I had to get a new phone and lost all of my numbers" "look I need a new Evo. Same colour if you can get your hands on one" "what happened?" "I smashed it. I'm good just a fractured wrist, sore head but could've been a lot worse" "thank fuck for that" "yeah.. give me a price for it to be delivered to my estate please" "does it mean that much to you?" "You know it does" "forty one thousand. No delivery cost" "how many kms?" "Five thou" "that's it?" "Yep" "I'll take it. I will transfer the funds. When can I have it?" "Tomorrow if you really want?" "Yeah. The other one is going today" "send me some pics" "I can't do that" "just let me see how bad maybe it can be fixed" "not likely but okay I will send one" "alright. I will deliver it personally tomorrow. you can do the transfer then" "thanks James, I appreciate it" "I know. See you tomorrow" "you will. Bye".
Taking a photo, I sent it straight to James.
"Who was that?" "James he is bringing another Evo tomorrow..." "You can't drive right now" "and why the hell not?" "Is it auto?" "No but I can still drive just not that car. Another one is getting delivered tomorrow and this.." pointing at the disaster of a car "is going today" "you seem more worried about the car then yourself?" "No. I know I'm fine.." looking around no one was close "and our baby is too" Brenton nodded "you aren't but you are alive. Now can we go eat and have a coffee. Well tea for you" "oh no I am not drinking that shit" "you cant drink coffee" "want to make a bet on that" "yes it says.." "I'm having coffee, it's not alcohol" "April are you not taking this seriously. have you not done your research" "I am not having some idiot tell me what I can and can not drink. Lucinda said no alcohol. Fair call I won't touch it. Which means I am getting rid of all the alcohol" "what?" "Well I can't drink so it's going. The security can split it all between them" "I can see there is no point talking to you right now" "that's your choice now I'm going to have a coffee".

Brenton.

Argh she is in a mood that's for sure. I know she is pissed about her car. She can not be drinking coffee. No processed meat but she doesn't eat that anyway.
Entering the house April grabbed two panadol and threw them back. "Head ache?" "Yeah" she shook her head then turned the kettle on "I don't think that's a good idea" "what isn't?" "Having a coffee" "we have been through this" "April you need to think about the baby" "he or she is fine. do not get on my case Brenton. I am doing this my way" "not the right way" April shook her head then grabbed her phone.
"Of course and thanks.. yeah I have a question.. can I drink coffee?.. thanks Lucinda just checking.. alright bye".
"I'm having a coffee my doctor said so" "fine" shaking my head, I walked away.
"Don't want a coffee?" "Yes" "okay then".
Argh she is in a shitty mood this morning and I don't blame her. she was in an accident yesterday, her head is obviously pounding and her car was destroyed. I can't deal with her like this, it just frustrates me. I can't speak with any of the guys about it besides Oakley but I'm not really close with him. I can't even speak to our parents because she won't tell them she is pregnant. my guess is she is waiting until she is twelve weeks just incase. All the research I did told me she shouldn't have coffee but Lucinda said it's fine. I will trust Lucinda's word but how do I calm her down?.

"Brenton your coffee" "coming gorgeous".
Sitting at the bench April never said a word but I swear I could feel her the frustration coming from her. "Something is frustrating you? I'd like to know" "frustrating me?" "I can sense it" April took a deep breath "yeah I'm frustrated. My plans didn't work out, my fiance accused me of being deceitful, my friend who I confide in had to tell you I was pregnant. I smashed my pride and joy putting not only my life but our babies life in danger and I... I have no idea how it happened. I'm fine, broken but fine but my pride and joy was destroyed because... I don't even know why. Of all that, why the fuck did you think that?. Oakley is gay for fuck sake and I... I Have no interest in anyone Bar you. How the fuck could you think that. Have I ever given you the suspicion that I am interested in some one else?" "No you haven't but seeing the table set for two then finding you with Oakley it just made my mind wander" "yeah.." April just walked off. Nah I can't have this. I don't want to start an argument but I need to speak with her. I know she is frustrated.
Following her to our room there she was naked ready to go for a shower looking absolutely stunning in her birthday suit.
When she got in the shower I spoke.
"I know you are frustrated about everything. I didn't see the table set up when I arrived home. Oakley didn't mean to tell me, he was angry at me and worried about you. It just slipped out so don't be angry at him.." "I'm not angry at him. I could never be angry at him" "fine but I know you are angry at me" "no at myself for smashing my car and I have no idea how it happened. I don't remember the last few seconds before the accident. But I am annoyed at you" "because of last night?" "Yes and you thinking you can tell me what to do. That doesn't sit well with me. You should know from the past I don't like it. I get it you want what's best for our baby but I am not taking advice from research on the internet. When it comes to stuff like that, I will ask Lucinda" "okay I apologize. I was definitely out of line last night in regards to you and Oakley. And I will try not to be so overbearing. I can't help it I just want what's best for you both" "okay and I know" "is there anything else you are frustrated about?" "No" "good I will go make some breakfast" "okay".
Well that was a calmer tone than before.
Walking down stairs there was a knock on the back door. Oakley.
"Hey man how is she?" "Hopefully a bit calmer" "woke up in a mood huh?" "Yeah. Her car is going today and she was is getting a new one tomorrow" "expected" I looked at Oakley like he was insane "that's the car Zane always dreamed of having" "fuck that's why she was pissed off at herself" Oakley nodded "most likely" "are you hungry? I'm making some breakfast for the both of us" "sure I could always eat. Is she pissed at me?" "No not even close. She said she could never be angry at you" Oakley grinned "good. I value my life" I chuckled "should've tried dealing with her earlier, now that was fun" "has she seen her car?" "Yep. She got out of bed, basically ran down stairs and out side" "yep the memories all came flooding back" "I tried to tell her to come back in.." "oh I already know the response you would've got".
