My Infinite Devotion

Chapter 7

Naomi POV

After eating I head back home and call Alexa to come over so that I can vent my frustrations out. I start to cook something to pass by time. I actually love to cook. That's also a part of why I want to open up my own cafe.

I haven't been able to cook for a while due to my work schedule and now that I'm not working nearly as much, I used to I've been cooking more and more. I hear Alexa come in the moment I finish putting the food on the table.

" Hey soon-to-be mom. What are you cooking?" Alexa asks coming over to hug me after putting her things down.

" I don't think I'm ever going to get used to that." I say with a chuckle.

" Well, you better because I'm going to be calling you that every day until you give birth." She says sitting down at the small table filled with food. I sit down too and get ready to tell her about what happened earlier today

" About that. I don't know if I'm going to be here every day for you to call me that." I say feeling a little guilty. Although I haven't made up my mind, I know that I want my baby to grow up with both parents.

" What?! Is Mr. Baby Daddy trying to take you away from me?" She asks sarcastically, but in reality, she hit it right on the nail.

" If you put it like that it makes me feel worse. I haven't even made up my mind yet. I don't know what I'm going to do." I say putting my head in my hands.

" Well how come your leaving? Why can't he come here and be with you? What does he do for you to need to go with him?" She asks shocked and frustrated. Me too.

" I don't know if I should tell you, but what's the harm in telling you what he does." I say in defeat.

" He can't be that important that he has to take away my best friend. What does he do? Work for the FBI?" She says with tears in her eyes. Me and Alexa are like sisters. We don't have siblings, so we count on each other like family. We go through ups and downs together. That's how it's been for years.

" Don't cry you're going to make me cry." I say my voice cracking.

" Just tell me what he does already, so I can plan on how I'm going to beat him up." She says seriously. I almost laugh at her because of how serious she looks when she says this.

" He does business. Like he owns his own business." I say.

" Okay, so why can't he come and be here with you?" She asks confused.

" Because he's supposedly this big shot and his HQ is in Japan. Which I only found out today. Can you believe that." I say picking at the food in front of me. Apparently, he was a big shot in the U.S too.

" Give me his name so I can look him up." She says hurrying to get her phone out.

" Loc Hasegawa." I say waiting for her to type it in her phone. She starts to type but pauses.

" You said who?" She questions.

" I said Loc Hase..." I start.

" I heard exactly what you said I just don't believe what I'm hearing." She says shocked.

" I was shocked when I looked him up too." I say.

" Girl, how did you not realize that the man you slept with WAS THE FREAKING CEO?" She says going ballistic.

"OMG. My niece or nephew has a rich daddy."

" I didn't know. You know I don't use social media like that. I basically live under a rock." I say in an offended tone.

" Now I understand why he wants you to leave with him. But that still doesn't mean I'm not going to give him a piece of my mind." She says stuffing food in her mouth.
