Pregnant By The Playboy

22 RIVER

I thought deeply about my current situation. Accepting Mr Stone's offer would really be the best. It'd only be for eight months. After that, I'd be rich and free.

Since I'd made my decision, I had to give Mr Stone a call.

"Hello. Mr Stone. It's River. Well....I've decided to accept your offer". I said to him over the phone.

"Okay. That's perfect! You made the right decision. I knew you were a smart child". He said joyfully.

"Well....Mr Stone, I have some requests and a condition before I can move in with you. Can we meet up to discuss?". I asked.

"Alright. I'll meet you at a café this afternoon. I'll text you the place". He said before hanging up.

I took a deep breath. I texted Meagan, telling her my decision. She agreed with me. She said she'd support me.

I lazily got out of bed to get ready for college. I didn't get much sleep last night, and I had a lot to do today. I wish I could sleep in.

I take a quick shower, and get dressed in a pair of light wash boyfriend jeans, and an oversized lavender sweater.

After getting ready, I grab a pack of beef jerky and stuff it in my bag. Been craving a lot of that lately. I quickly locked the door behind me, and hurried out of the house.

I was late! I was about to start running to the bus station, but remembered I was pregnant. And with my endometrium being thin, I didn't think running would be a good idea.

I decided to walk. I got on the bus, and arrived at college a little later than usual. I hurriedly walked into the lecture hall.

I snuck into the hall, thankful that our travel management professor, Mrs Valerie didn't notice me. She absolutely hates people coming late for her lectures.

I was taking notes during the lecture, but I drifted off to sleep without realizing.

I was startled awake by a banging sound on the desk.

"Ms Hartford?.....Ms Hartford?.....Ms Hartford!". Mrs Valerie called my name as she banged on the desk with a textbook.

I hurriedly lifted my head to meet her angry gaze. I sat up, and stuck a strand of stray hair behind my ear.

"Ms Hartford, you find my lecture boring?". She asked.

I shook my head. "No! Of course not!". I replied.

She glared at me for a long minute. "You've been sleeping during my lectures recently. Is something wrong Ms Hartford? Perhaps you should quit this course if you can't have the decency to stay awake during lectures!". She yelled at me.

I lowered my head, not daring to speak. Speaking would only make it worse. Mrs Valerie doesn't like me much. Even though I'm the best student she has. She constantly says mean things to me, and tries to demean me.

I heard from the other students that her daughter was denied access to the university because of me. Her daughter happened to be the girl that always bullied me in highschool.

And when we met again at the university's interview after so many years, she still tried to bully me. This was seen by some of the interviewers, and she was immediately sent back. She didn't even get to sit for the interview.

I felt Valerie was being childish for fighting for her daughter like this.

My head remained lowered as Valerie kept yelling at me for five long minutes. She angrily left the lecture hall after she finished speaking.

The girl sitting next to me nudged me."Hey. Just ignore her. She's trying to get revenge for her spoiled brat of a daughter". She said to me.

I smiled. "I know. I don't take her words to heart. I'm used to it". I said as I excused myself to go to the washroom.

After the rest of my classes for the morning, I went to the café Mr Stone texted to me to wait for him.

I was in awe when I walked into the café. The interior design was elegant, and gave off a feeling of warmth. The creamy white walls, the hardwood floors, the deep grey arm chairs and sofas and the marble topped tables.

I realized I'd been looking around for too long, so I took a seat at one of the tables so I don't seem out of place here. The plush velvet arm chairs made me feel super comfortable.

I waited for Mr Stone while scrolling through tiktok and wolfing down the spicy beef jerky I had in my bag.

Soon, he arrived. He took a seat at the table.

"Sorry for making you wait. Was in an important meeting. You didn't order anything?". He asked.

"It's fine. I just got here Mr Stone". I said.

He stared at the half eaten beef jerky in my hand. "You're munching on that like you've been starved". He said referring to the beef jerky.

"Oh. I've just been craving it lately". I said with my head lowered.

He nodded. The waiter came over, and he ordered us avocado toast and an espresso.

"Let's have lunch while we talk". He said.
