I woke up my stomach still growing, being pregnant is no joke, I couldn't sleep, Jace tried to force me into yet another doctor's appointment, he failed this time, I'm tired of people telling me how to live my life, I'm fine.
And there was the noise, again, for the fifth time this week, he knows how much the baby hates the noise, making me hate the noise too, I got off bed still in my undies and opened the door, it felt like I was running downstairs, my stomach is big.
"Jace, keep it down will you? You know we...".
And I almost died at the spot, a man was in our house, a man I have never seen before a man who just looked up at me with a spoon in his mouth, he looked about Jace's age, black and beautiful. I blinked a couple of times. Maybe I should scream, what is he doing here? Why is he in our kitchen? Who is he?.
Jace got out of the toilet, he looked up at me then the guy, he took a throw from the couch and ran up to me covering me. He closed his eyes then opened them again, he knows now I'm pissed.
"You shouldn't leave the bedroom looking like that".He said holding my arms.
"And you shouldn't let strangers in here knowing I leave the bedroom like this".
"Hi".Was all the guy said.
"Hi".I said back smiling, now that I know he's not a burglar.
Who he is? I do not know, all I know is he is a good looking fela, eating peanut butter sandwich, I walked past Jace to the guy and made myself a sandwich too, adding peanut butter and cheese. He watched me taking a bite in disgust, Jace shook his head at him, I looked up at the man and he was still watching me, I cried.
Jace buried his face on his hands and walked up to me, he held my shoulders brushing them, he pushed me back up the stairs, the guy looked confused, I stopped crying and looked up at the man in our kitchen who looked like a model without even trying. He seriously is good looking.
"We all went to the same high school".Jace said bored.
It took me an hour to get my emotions in order whatever that means and I learned that the man is Siya, the Siya Jace has been telling me about. I've never met him really.
"Yeah and you probably don't remember me, there were the likes of Anele, Viola, Sindi...".
"Who wouldn't remember them? But I remember you too, shy, beautiful, smart Hazel, you haven't changed much, except for the shy part".
I felt my cheeks get hot, probably red."You remember me?".
"I had a crush on you, most boys did, right Jace?".
And that was it, my heart took a different turn, he had a crush on me and he never asked me out? Not that I was gonna say yes but that would have boosted my self-esteem. Not his problem I know but still, Jace looked at me then Siya(Sia) then back at me again.
"Shouldn't you be on your way to work?".
"No, not really, I'm just an accountant remember?".He answered still looking at me.
Jace gritted his jaws and just watched us continuing with our conversation, I don't know where I get all these things from. The way I'm so opened, last time I checked I hated men, let alone talking to them. If a man tried to talk to me, I ran.
Siya laughed brushing his forehead showing off his huge arm, I almost choke on the water which went down the wrong way, how can one man look so good? He laughed again getting me another glass of water. Jace stood up. I never got a chance to admire other guys, there was only Zamani who was jealous too.
"We need to go to the doctor's".
I looked up at a lying him."No, we don't, it was scheduled for tomorrow remember?".
