Unexpected

Chapter 25

The party downstairs had already been going on for about 30 minutes now. So, I was skimming through my Netflix list on my laptop, that Xavier bought me, even after my protest to stop spending money on me. I also told him I would be just fine watching it on the oversized smart TV that was mounted on my bedroom wall, but nights like tonight, I am glad I have a laptop, because I can plug in my noise cancelling earbuds and listen to my favorite show, Lucifer. Of course, I won't tell Xavier that, because then he may start buying more things, I find unnecessary. I received a text from May letting me she just arrived and would be up to see me in a little bit.

May has started seeing this guy named Brandon, who is really nice, but this leaves me no time to spend with May anymore. That means I am usually stuck in my room, as I know Xavier has been trying to avoid me for some reason. It seems like, since my appointment, when I found out my potential due date, he has found every excuse to not be around me. I cannot seem to figure out why. I was going to try talk to him tonight about it, but he sent me a text just before the party started telling me he was leaving and probably wouldn't be home tonight. He also let me know if I needed anything I could reach out to Rosa.

Me: Hey Rosa. When u get a chance, can u bring me a pizza from the kitchen? No rush, just whenever you can.

Rosa: Yes, Ms. Treya. I will get it right away.

I hated asking her for things. She had a lot on her plate already with managing the house and taking care of things for the boys. I was very capable of doing things for myself, but Rosa always insists it's no bother and is always glad do anything for me. The only reason I was willing to ask for her to get me something, was because of an incident that occurred last week during the party. 5 minutes later, a light knock came to my door. Opened the door and was met with a Rosa carrying a tray filled with all sorts of goodies. She had a plate of 3 pieces of pizza with chicken, black olives, and artichoke hearts on them, it's been what I have been craving for the past week and a half. She had pineapple juice and cran-grape juice, a package of milk chocolate Milano cookies, 5 sticks of string cheese, and a banana nut muffin that was left over from this morning's batch she baked.

I led her into my room and helped her with the tray. She definitely went above and beyond and knew all the things to make me happy. Once she put the tray down, I gave her a big hug and thanked her. "I told you it was no rush. I really didn't want to interrupt anything you were doing, since it is your time off. I just don't want to go down there because of last week." She waved off my thanks and patted my cheek before heading out my bedroom. She reminded me that anything I need, she would be happy to get it for me. I turned back to my bed that was now covered in food and snacks and cozied up to my laptop and finished my show.

It had been about an hour since I got my snacks and went back to watching my show. I checked my phone to see if I had anymore messages from May, because I really wanted to see her, and she said she would come up shortly to see me. It was like she read my mind as I heard a knock on my door. I jumped up and ran to the door swinging it open. May was not who I got on the other side. "Jason. What are you doing up here?" I leaned forward and looked both ways down the hall to see if there was anyone else with him. "Your brother isn't here."

He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking innocent and a little impish at the same time. "I know hiss na here. He wanned me to sheck on you and make shoo you were okay." Great! He was drunk as shit and slurring so much I almost didn't catch what he said. He brushed past me and strolled all the way into my room. He laid back on my bed and grabbing one of my cookies. "You have alotta foo. Were specting someone, lil mama?" Did he just seriously call me 'Lil Mama'? I rolled my eyes and grabbed all my loose food off my bed and tidied it a bit. He was watching my every move, and I didn't like the way he was seeming to undress me with his eyes. "Yur...you..r...your like a sessy maid. Mmmm. Serviss pease."
