Chapter 34 : Beautiful Lies
" Beautiful lies
Don't break my heart, tell me beautiful lies
She's an emotional wreck right now
She's got some things on her chest right now
I bet she lookin' at my text right now
So hit me back, don't do me bad like that
Can't take you back, left you in the past like that
I'm the reason why you been in your bag like that
Don't get this shit confused "

It was around 7am on a Wednesday morning and the song beautiful lies by Yung Bleu and Kehlani blasted out loud over my car speakers as I drove to work.
I had been working from home for the last couple of weeks due to extensive morning sickness and of course Deion allowed it but I was ready to get back to my desk.
We had discussed how I would go about my pregnancy in terms of announcing it and everything but ultimately we agreed I'd keep it a secret for as long as possible.
Less stress for me and for us as a whole.
I wasn't too close with anyone at work other than Izzy and Deion so I was just hoping she wouldn't catch on.
She knew about Deion and had managed to keep our relationship private like I asked but being pregnant with his child was a whole other ballgame.
I still wasn't fully prepared to come to terms with the fact that I was pregnant, by my boss, who was also my boyfriend.
It sounded like something out of a wattpad novel, literally.
Thinking negatively never did anyone any good so I told myself when I realized I was too deep in my thoughts I'd just blast some music and keep it moving, hence why I was blasting some Yung Bleu and Kehlani right now.
I stopped by a local McDonald's and got my usual breakfast.
Since becoming pregnant I couldn't eat just anything but for some odd reason McDonald's I was able to hold down just fine.
I always ordered an Egg McMuffin, hash browns and a hazelnut iced coffee.
Deion was never pleased to see me drinking coffee of any kind but he knew I only had one cup a day and it was a major craving of mine.
After grabbing my usual order from McDonald's I quickly got to work and parked into my space.
When I got off the elevator on my work floor I was greeted by Izzy and an intern she was training named Noah.
He was a lighter, yellow-complexioned gentleman with ginger hair and emerald green eyes.
From the looks of how he was staring at Izzy I figured it might be something brewing between them or if not yet would be soon.
"Stranger danger I feel like I'm seeing ghosts," Izzy joked, throwing her arms pulling me into a tight hug.
"You're always seeing something girl! My goodness I missed you," I replied.
