Chapter 18

EIGHTEEN....

I woke up the next morning in a much better mood.  I cleaned my whole apartment and even decided to take morning run before my shift. I walked into work smiling and sipping my Smoothie King. As usual Trisha was on the phone gossiping at her desk without a care in the world about who could hear her conversation. I only heard snippets but it was about her trip to London and how she reconnected with an old flame. I shook my head and made my way to Sherell's office knocking lightly

"Come in" I opened the door and walked in. Sherell was seated behind her desk and looked up from the pile of papers in front of her. She jumped up from her seat and walked over to me giving me the biggest hug. I smiled retuning the hug

"Hi Love, how are you" She said gesturing for me to sit while she leaned on the edge of her desk

"I actually feel much better, I've come to terms with it and I'm choosing happiness. My baby wasn't planned but it wasn't a mistake. Everything happens for a reason" Sherell nodded

"That's good Love, well I am glad to have you back. I made a couple of changes to your schedule. Just have Trisha print out copy for you and if you have any questions, let me know" She said walking back behind her desk and sitting

"Thanks you so much Sherrell" I said genuinely grateful for her

" No problem, Now go on and don't make me come hunt you down to take a break now. You got a baby on the way" She said shooing me away. I laughed exiting her office. I had Trisha print out my schedule. She was still on the phone talking about how at this point she might beat her sister to the altar. I grabbed the paper from her and made my way to the locker room.

"Psst" I heard someone whisper from the supply room. I squinted to get a better look and it was Jeremy. His smile so bright as he waved me into the room. I looked around first and then joined him in the room.

"We need to ta......." I said closing the door behind me but I couldn't finish my sentence because he was attacking me with kisses. I pushed him gently and he looked at me face flushed but still sporting his bright smile.

"I saw you walk in this morning and honestly my day was made, I missed you Taz" He said moving closer to me and I stepped back causing him to cock his head to the side sporting a look of pure confusion.

"We need to talk, I was thinking you could come over after work" I said and he nodded

"Ok, is everything ok baby" he said with a look of genuine concern. I nodded and then out of no where the tears just started falling. All of a sudden I was crying heavily like I mean hyperventilating.

"Oh baby, what's wrong" Jeremy cooed pulling me into his arms and hugging me. I honestly didn't know why I was crying and why my tears chose this particular moment to fall. I was fine a moment ago.

"I- I'm fine, I don't even know why I'm crying" I said pulling away from him and wiping my tears with the back of my hands in a total unattractive manner. I looked up flabbergasted when I heard a deep laughter. It was Jeremy just staring at me and laughing

"Baby you're so beautiful, even teary eyed and red in the face with your lashes sticking to your eyebrows" He said as I stared at him in total confusion. He took a few steps towards me reaching for my face then pulled something off my brows. It was my false strip lashes. I forgot that I put them on earlier this morning. The eyelash glue couldn't hang with all the crying and eye rubbing. He waved the lash at me laughing while I stood with my eyes and mouth wide open. I quickly pulled the other lash off and grabbed the other from his hand and tossed it in the trash. I turned around and there he was with an amused grin on his face, I couldn't help but join in the laughter. He again pulled me to him wrapping his arms around my neck. I wrapped mines around his waist and stared up at him. Jeremy then began giving me quick pecks all over my face. The pager sound rang out bringing us back to planet earth. He reached one arm into his pocket and glanced at the pager.
