Did that merger fall through?" I sat inches from Dom with my fork sticking my food, I was staring at him, but only I wasn't staring at him. "Nas?" he called out, "Ye!" I choked out by reflex, then his broad-rimmed sun hat and aviators came into full view "Ye I'm great! Don't I look great?" I added for reassurance. I saw his eyes squinting which means he knew I wasn't saying everything, so I watched as he sunk deeper into his chair, "You ma'am have been distracted, what are you hiding!?" he asked, he knew me so well, I had to begin.
"What is Demetri's problem he's like a tick or a rash that won't leave!!! Damn... Plus since my doctor's visit, everything has gotten worst ugh!! My fucking clothes are getting tighter, I'm eating like a cow, AND hmm... Ryan appeared at my apartment this morning!!" I calmed to a sigh. "Wait! How the hell did he find you, what? was he all begging this time again like a bitch. so ratchet! And what do you mean your clothes are getting tighter and you're eating like a...... OMG!!! Bitch is you preggers!? Who da daddy? Hmmm girl... You done got knocked up, who is he?" Dom clapped on every word. A little bit too excited for my liking. "Dom!!" I called out, "Yes future mama!?" He teased, "I'm not joking here, how'd he find me, I feel like crying", "Amm Nas u don't normally cry" he muttered, "Ahhh damn hormones!" I screamed, "So you are preggers!? Finally" He exclaimed. "Dom, what am I gonna do?" I was begging for an answer. "Well you're gonna tell Demetri you are pregnant," he said while smacking his lipgloss on and crossing his legs. "He asked me to marry him...." I whispered. Dom gasped then his hand flew to his chest, "So what's your problem then? A drop-dead gorg guy with a sexy ass and money to kill and you're still not happy?". "Dom it's not like that, I can't be with a man like him... I can't tell him, I don't think I can keep it" I protested, "You don't think you can what? You know what, Waiter can I have 2 Jack Daniel's on the rocks 4 cherries each.... And a bottled water" he ordered, "Dom I can't drink" I chimed in, "Oh I know sweetie but don't worry the bottle of water is for you" He gave me a death stare. "Tell Demetri or I will".
I had no alternative but to giggle because he now focused his attention on our waiter's ass. Was this right? I never wanted to tell him, I couldn't keep it! I have so much going on, I can't afford to have let alone keep a kid, a whole kid! Oh, why did I do this? How did Ryan find me, was his threat real? I cradled my head with my hands when our waiter came back. At this point I saw Dom scribbling his number on a piece of paper, was Dom right? In my mind, I knew he was but I couldn't bring myself to admit it.
The rest of the day was fairly easy, Dom and I went shopping with the black card I still had, got Mani; Pedi's and pretended like we had no cares in the world. Pablo never left my side since Ryan broke into my apartment and I never wanted him to leave it an inch. I know he realized the little changes that have been going on with me but dared not utter a word. We finished the day with a couple of drinks, ignoring the potential package, and then with Pablo's help staggered home sweet home after a few drinks.
