Chapter 80: To be or Not to be?

Meanwhile with Casey and Coral

"I didn't think you could dance Jones"

"There's a lot you don't know about me, what about you? I've never seen you with your guard down" Casey dipped Coral as salsa music played.

"Clearly, if you can dance this well.. I'd like to actually talk about it"

"Last night?" The two faced each other, Casey looked at her and this was not only the first time her hair was down but the first time she was calm.

"That and.. Do we want anything to come out of this"

"Coral, no offense... I have feelings for someone else, and you are beautiful, smart, and I'm not ashamed to say sexy but we could never work"

"Thank you.. Casey and.. I hope everything goes well with you and the school teacher"

"Okay, what's the real reason you wanted to come with me tonight?"

"I liked it! There I said it!!" Coral shouted, she covered her face with her jacket.

"Whoa, wait a second.. You liked what happened last night.. You liked me?"

"No, not you! There's someone else and... I Just only wanted to share that with... them! What we did it just makes you more right, we could never work! I'm uptight, organized, and extremely fabulous and you... are you"

"Well thank you for that vote of confidence, but seriously.. I hope you find the confidence to share that with your someone as well bougie"

"As do I, Now I understand why Haley is so calm" Coral giggled then noticed Casey staring at someone, "What?"

"T-There"

Coral turned around and saw a dark skinned woman with light brown freckles, long curly black hair dyed blue, and black and blue eyes, wearing a long black dress.

"Who's that? The school teacher?"

"Y-yeah.. T-that's Luna"

"Luna, she's named after the moon?"

"Mmm hmm, um.."

"Go talk to her!" Coral pushed him over to Luna who was sitting by herself.

"Dah!! Um.. Luna?"

"Huh?" Luna looked over at him, "Oh! Casey, you work at the restaurant I go to every afternoon"

"Yeah! So.. what are you doing over here by yourself?"

"My date dumped me... Again, why are you here? I saw you dancing with her" Luna gestured to Coral who was correcting the musicians.

"Well.. she was also my date but she told me she wasn't interested in me.. How about I get you some food, maybe a drink and.. We can talk?"

"I would love to," Luna smiled as Casey sat next to her, leaving Coral to watch them. She smiled softly as she paid for her drink and food and left the restaurant.

About two weeks later, Leo noticed that Coral was acting different and possibly sick

Coral sat down at the table, she rubbed her head as she drank some water.

"Good morning"

"Good morning, sir"

"Are you okay?"

"I'm not sure, my gem has been having trouble to find the symptoms" Coral laughed, "It says I might be pregnant"

This made Leo choke on his coffee and look at the clock "Coral.. It is 8 am, on a Monday.. And you're telling me that you think you're pregnant.. Right?"
