                 Chapter 8

              Adajay's pov

I felt bad for Zahaire not because I like him but because of the unfairness he was dealt by my mom, I didn't see her as a mother and I loathe calling her so. She did not wait until Zahaire left the country she brought home a new man, at least that was what Kaylee said. I told her to stop quitting school to go home, she had the neighbors son was making good use of the house on a regular  basis.

I turn off my laptop and walked to the kitchen, I have yet to answer Zahaire's texts. I was glad he was not here and still in a shock state that he will not be coming back to the States any time soon. I have been craving for independence for so long that it felt almost surreal to finally have it, the only different thing was that I was pregnant. I made a quick snack then went and got ready for work as a kitchen helper, it wasn't hard but the supervisor keeps looking at my growing bump.

  In the weeks that followed I made online friends from the college I was attending and I search for remote and online jobs. Zahaire finally calls one night as I reach home and I answered the call nervously.

"𝑯𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐?"

"𝑯𝒊, 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒈𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖?" He said and asked.

"𝑰'𝒎 𝒐𝒌, 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒕," I answered telling him.

"𝑶𝒉. 𝑺𝒐 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌? 𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔," he asked then said.

"𝑰 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒚 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒅𝒖𝒕𝒚 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒃 𝒔𝒐 𝑰 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈," he said.

"𝑶𝒌, 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑰 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝑰'𝒎 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒌, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖?" I said and ask.

"𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆, 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆," he replied saying.

"𝑶𝒌, 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕," I told him and end the call.

  Maybe he has a woman or something, I didn't care I was glad he was out of my life right now. I will love my baby and he won't be getting a picture, I should change my number also I thought as I climbed the stairs up to my room. If I wasn't pregnant I would be basking happily in my independence, now because of him I'm having I was not ready for.
