Our New Life {Sequel of : So Close, And Yet So Far Away}

Chapter 6

Diggy POV:

As I lay awake in bed, with my face nuzzled into Emerald's fluffy hair, I thought about what had happened last night. That horrified look on Emerald's face had really scared me. I'd never seen her like that before, and I never wanted to see her afraid or in pain.

Thinking about it, I didn't know what to do. Clearly, if Emerald didn't want to get a restraining order, then I probably shouldn't try to force her to do so. But, Emerald seems like a reasonable person, so I have hope that she will.

I tried to go to sleep, but the thoughts kept me up, 'til the birds were chirping, and the sun was shining.

"Oh fuck," I mumbled to myself. "Another all-nighter."

I got out of bed right as the alarm rang, and got dressed. I brushed my teeth, shaved, and then went to the kitchen to make breakfast. When it was done, I heard Emerald rustling around in the bedroom. A few minutes later, she walked out fully dressed in some black stilettos, and a tight black dress that fit her curves in all the right ways. And then I looked at her stomach. Even her baby bump just looked so adorable, and the thought filled me with happiness. Even though I was super tired I couldn't help but smile at her as she walked towards me.

"Good morning," she said, as I grabbed her waist and kissed her passionately. "Good morning," I replied, biting my lip.

She walked over to the plate of eggs and bacon sitting on the table. "Breakfast looks really good! Thanks."

She sat down, and ate. When she was done, she smiled at me as I grabbed the car keys. She grabbed her purse, and we both went out into the drive way to get into our car.

The car ride was a little bit awkward, but that was obviously going to happen due to the scary event that had just happened, but the silence was calming, so I left it that way.

When it was finally time to drop Emerald off, I began to feel a bit nervous. What if that crazy woman showed up at her work place? What if Emerald and the baby got hurt?

Suddenly, Emerald leaned over in her seat, putting her hand on my shoulder. "Diggy, I see that look on your face. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

I nodded. "Okay, bye." she said, kissing me.

She took off her seat belt, got out of the car, and walked away.

I drove off, not feeling better at all.

Emerald POV:

As I walked into the work place, my anxiety grew stronger. I knew what I needed to do.

I walked straight into Monae's office, and shut the door.

"Look, I know it was you. What the hell is your problem?" I yelled, pointing at her.

"Nothing, darling. I only wanted your attention, but you decided to run away." she smiled. I couldn't help but gag.

"Look," I began again. "you can't just waltz back into my life, trying to get with me again. I have child," I pointed at my stomach. "so don't think you can just come here and take me away. I have a soon-to-be husband. I love him."

She glared at my stomach, then at me.

"Okay, I understand. I'll get out of your hair."

Something was off, but frustrated, I just walked away.

As I was walking through the halls, back to my office, I noticed a group of girls in front of it.

"Uhm, hi, excuse me." I said awkwardly, trying to pass.
