Luke & His Runaway Love (Book Two Of The "And His" Series) (WIP)

Chapter Twenty Nine ~ Helen

"Girl, if you roll your eyes at me but one more time" I hear Maria growl.

"Whatever, Marissa—can I go on my break now?" A whining voice replied.

Suzanne...

I hear footsteps before Maria replies and I know Suzanne has walked away. "I swear to Jesus, that girl gonna bring the gangsta outta me" Maria growls as she sits down next to me. "You know what she did?" Maria huffs. "Wouldn't do a damn thing when the mama in room six projectile vomited everywhere, I asked her to clean it up, whilst I sorted the paperwork for the epidural, I had to do it all" she hisses. "And then she rolls her eyes at me when I pulled her up over it and did you hear her call me fucking Marissa?" she growls. "She knows my name"

"Why didn't you call me? I would of helped" I asked.

Maria looks at me like I've got ten heads. "Because you're meant to be taking it easy" she hisses. "She's gonna have to go" Maria sighs. "I can't work with people like that, hun" she says as she walks away.

I look to the security screens, spotting Suzanne and her boyfriend talking animatedly when suddenly Suzanne's boyfriends gaze looks to the camera. His eyes bore into the lens as if he knows someone is watching, unless Suzanne has told him I'm at the desk. Either way, I don't like the way he's looking into the camera, he may or may not know I'm looking at the screen but the feeling he's giving me off just looking into the camera is fear...

I get up and go the bathroom, reaching for my phone and notice I have a text.

Baby Daddy: I miss you, mama Xx

I chuckle at his name in my phone, I wonder when he changed that.

Me: I miss you, too! When did you change your name in my phone, baby daddy? Xx

Baby Daddy: When you were in the shower Xx

My cheeks flush at the memory of our time in the shower this morning, so he must mean the time I kicked him out the shower after he was making me late for work.

Me: I hope you haven't got me down as mama, cos that'll be weird—FYI, I'm changing your name back, as baby daddy sounds weird. Xx

Luke: :( x

Luke: How about Hot Stuff? Or Sexy Cop? ;) x

Me: No, and Nope x

Luke: Meanie x

Me: **innocent shrug gif** xx

Luke: You're lucky I love your arse, how is work? Are you taking it easy? Xx

Shit, should I tell him?...

Luke: Has Suzanne's fella been hanging around? Xx

Shit..

Luke: Helen?!

Double shit...

My phone rings then with a ringtone that I have no doubt luke has assigned himself usher-hey daddy.

"Seriously? Hey Daddy?" I tease trying to distract him.

"Baby, is he there?" Luke's warm voice comes down the speaker ignoring my attempt to distract him.

I sigh heavily. "He's with Suzanne outside" I tell him.
