Say You Want Me

Holdin Back

The past month with Spencer and Olivia passed them by. They had settled into being an couple. He would work at the lot during the day, while she worked at the bakery four days an week, then left the nights to spend together. She would fall asleep in his arms after some heavy lovemaking. It's true what people say about pregnancy sex being the best form of intimacy in a relationship. Currently, Olivia was in an planning session at the bakery with the older generation of ladies of Harlem.

"Olivia can't rush in there and get Kianna" Mrs. Bailey was maddened.

"She can fake labor pains!" Mrs. Ruma says. Mrs. Bailey's head fell in her hand.

"Please! She's not that far along! How is she gonna have labor pains?"

"Exactly" Mrs. Ruma agreed. "Moving on ya'll" 

All Olivia's been doing is sitting nicely and quietly, eating every cupcake in sight, though she believes she's figured out their thought process. One throws out the idea, two go back and forth between each other, the fourth plays dumb, and then they move on together. She found it exhausting and hilarious. She'd much rather spend her day with Spencer. Yesterday they went out to the cottage so he could show her more of the land and property. They walked along an river between his and the Bailey's property where they had an late picnic, then he showed her why living slightly secluded is an plus when it comes to displaying pda and bedroom activities. They couldn't have sex like this outside the city unless they welcomed an audience. She's enjoying their new found sex life. With the rise of her pregnancy hormones, her sex drive will increase, but of course Spencer wasn't complaining about that. The only thing they seem to have an hard time addressing is her impending departure. He doesn't bring it up, neither does she. She wasn't sure if she should talk to Eric first or Spencer. The last thing she wants to do is sever ties with her bakery, only to discover he doesn't want more with her outside of them being parents to their child, so she let it linger. Today was the twenty-week ultrasound, making her at the half mark of the pregnancy. They were finding out the sex of the baby today and seeing more of its movements. She had high hopes after this and Kianna's bridal shower the week after next, they could iron out the details together. The idea of leaving him paralyzed her. She shoots an quick glance at the ladies surrounding her, choosing to interject in their amusing debate.

"How bout I just tell her I gotta run an errand and she has to come with me?"

She suggested and an crowd of laughter follows. The idea was thrown out and dismissed so she tended back to her cupcakes.

"I know!" Mrs. James perked, the excitement building back up.

"What if we have Olivia call Kianna, tell her she's gotta go across town for something and she needs assistance?"

Olivia rolled her eyes with an laugh, she could've sworn she said that already. The women look at each other like Grace was speaking some grand form of gospel to them.

"Oooo! That's an wonderful idea, Grace!" Olivia's eyes clipped over at Mrs. Riley.

"Yeaah! Such an smart move, Kianna will never see it coming"

"Uhmm" Olivia says bewildered.

"I said that already, you shot me down right away"

"That's besides the point" Mrs. Bailey retorted.

"Can you head over there and handle this? It's important that she has no clue what's happening. We've been plannin' this for an long time"

Olivia learned that Spencer wasn't exaggerating when he told her it was best to humor these ladies. Kianna wasn't born yesterday. She asked Liv to ensure her hair was done and to dress nice for her upcoming ambush. She couldn't tell them that.
