TEMPTATION | JENLISA G!P (COMPLETE)

CH 29

The stillness of the apartment can sometimes get to me. The way the rain taps against the towering glass windows or the constant ticking emanating from the abundance of clocks situated around every corner, they should be a relaxing soundtrack but here they can send you crazy. This opulent palace deserves to be filled with joy and laughter. With every room a person should be greeted by another happy face that warms the heart. Instead Hera has far too many empty spaces and white walls. Its clinical and its a whopping great symbol of the old sad dominant Lisa. My reluctance to move in was in essences to do with these factors. Disregarding the speed of our relationship, this place has always intimated me. It is a ever obvious reminder of what can happen when you shut everybody out and become a one man island and although Lisa has come on leaps and bounds in terms of opening up and allowing me to enter her heavily guarded heart there is still so many obstacles to overcome, our current predicament showcases that.

It is Monday afternoon and i am sitting at my desk distracted once again. The workplace is not suitable for someone with a sulking fiance and the weight of the world resting upon their shoulders. Tomorrow is , our appointment with my OB. We are having to wait a few days to see the doctor because even the great and powerful Lisa Manoban couldn't manipulate her way around this one. Off of my own back i have taking 5 home pregnancy tests which have all turned out to be positive. I took them alone. The only time Lisa has spoke to me was to confirm the appointment and even then that was just a murmur and no eye contact was given. So we are stuck at an impasse and a silent one at that. Of course i didn't expect Lisa to pop open the champagne and shout how happy she is that i am carrying her child from the rooftops but i expected some sort of a reaction. I got nothing. No smiles, no shouting, screams of either joy or fury. Just blank. This is when the accelerated pace of our relationship becomes a hindrance. In most other cases, when the topic of pregnancy occurs you normally have a back catalogue of experiences to call upon and can take an informed course of action only i don't possess that trick. I am left to work out how to handle the situation by using guesswork and i don't like that feeling. Half of our problem is undoubtedly our combined stubbornness, neither one of us are willing to relinquish the fight and back down.

A pregnancy was not top on my list of priorities either if i am being honest. Being young and just starting my career this could be a huge spanner in the works and may halt any progression i could encounter, if Mino ever takes that stick out of his ass and stops being the world's biggest prick, however on the flip side i have never given the avenue of motherhood too much thought. Even the surprise of Rosé's baby didn't spur any pondering on the subject, i was merely caught up with dealing with the emotions which arose about the troublesome twosome. The symptoms i have been displaying over recent weeks did started those niggling doubts that maybe i am with child and the consequences of such an occurrence but nothing to in depth. Being a mother in my mind is possibly the most important role a woman will ever take on. We are responsible for bringing a life into this world, ensuring it has a safe environment in which to grow and once the child arrives we have to teach it how to be an asset to society. You have to care, love, protect and nurture this tiny human being and maybe in the process you will suffer heartache and a number of difficulties but it is all worth it. All i have to do now is convince Lisa of this.

Before my thoughts start to consume me even further, the office erupts into nervous whispers and glances. The usual laid back environment has become unusually tense. The reason for this appears three seconds later as my angry and stern looking girl strides through the office. Woman slyly check out her ass, much to my displeasure, the tapping of keyboard keys increases and suddenly everyone is fascinated with what is on their computer screens. For a horrible moment i think she is coming in here to cause a scene and start a fight but instead she walks straight past me and into Mino's office, slamming the door for good measure. V is hot on his heels with Larry behind looking as equally confused as i. There isn't any logical reason for being here except to see me, Lisa has no ties to KPH as far as i know but then again when does she tell me anything. I have to practically force her to relay any information. Deciding to ignore the fact she is here i carry on with the meaninglessness task Mino has set me, seriously when did sealing envelopes become part of my job description. All of a sudden a huge roar booms from Mino's office, Lisa is screaming at my boss. Is she determined to ruin this for me? If i am fired and she leaves me i have nothing! Not prepared to stand by and watch her destroy this for me i rush in to put a stop to it. Lisa has Mino by the scruff of the neck against the wall with V not even bothering to attempt to restrain her.
