Unexpected Love

Chapter 15

Layla POV

Raye pulled into her driveway and I started at her house in awe. "How much money do you have?" I asked surprised.

Raye did a silent laugh and got out  to open the door for me. She grabbed my purse and closed the car door behind us, taking me to her front door.

Before she could put the key in a guy opened the door with a wide smile as if he was surprised to see me...which I'll admit is weird.

He pushed Raye out of the way and came up to me "you must be the famous Layla who's carrying my niece" I looked toward Raye and she had her head down in embarrassment.

"Yes that's me" I smiled. Gasping in shock when he lead me into something like a hug due my big stomach being in the way. "Come in and sit down I'm sure you're tired" he spoke gently pushing me into the house.

I looked around the neatly decorated house. As you walk in you're met with living room and could see the backyard, I looked towards my right noticing the wooden brown stair case.

We walked father into the living and on my left was the gigantic kitchen. I felt like a kid in a candy store when I was looking around her house.

"Like what you see" Raye said from behind me startlingly me. "Yeah it's a pretty house" I said turning around the face her. Raye took off my coat for me and walked me to the couch.

"Would you like anything to drink" Raye asked me and I shook my head no watching as she removed my heels for me. Once she was done she sat besides me as her friend sat across from us.

"How could I forget to introduce myself I'm Marcus Raye's best friend/ brother. Remembering his name from when Raye mentioned him at the diner. I got up to shake his hand "it's nice to meet you Marcus I've heard many things about you".

He looked towards Raye and the stared to have a conversation with their eyes. Marcus put his attention on me and opened his mouth to speak  "how many month are you?" He asked looking down at my stomach. "Seven months almost eight" I grew excited at the thought of finally getting to meet my baby girl.

"Have you figured out names yet?" I nodded my head at his question "yeah I mostly like Sage and Jade" I replied rubbing my stomach. For the rest of the night I got to know Marcus more, laughing at the many stories he told me about Raye when they were little kids.

"Wait...so you punched an innocent guy getting the people mixed up, did you at least say sorry?" I laughed at Raye as she sat there with a red face from embarrassment and laughing rubbing my feet that rested on her lap.

"I did end up apologizing...after I fought the right guy" she replied in a shy like tone. "Wow if I was the other guy I would jump in". "That's what I said" Marcus laughed out causing me to laugh even harder.

"Oh my god my stomach is stared to hurt from all this laughing" I said out of breath rubbing my stomach as my baby started to kick. "Would you like some water?" Raye got up to already get in not even waiting for my answer. Marcus shrugged in shoulders and looked in the direction Raye walked.

"She's moving...would you like to feel it?" I asked Marcus, he looked at me with hesitation and I nodded my approval watching as he got up and sat next to me. I put his hand on my stomach guiding him to the correct place to feel. "What is that?" He asked surprised and grossed out. "That's her butt I believe". I chuckled at the face he made but watched as he continued to rub my stomach.

"Hey there little one I'm your uncle Marcus, I can't wait to meet you" he spoke in a soft voice. Raye  came back with a glass of water and a plate of food. I grabbed the water as Marcus moved away "thank you" I mumbled before taking a sip. Raye sat down and took some food to feed me.
