One Night

Chapter 11: Waves

The Next Day.......

XO POV

Warner and I had a great time that night. We just spent the night talking and hanging out. I wasn't going to tell Warner about my current situation when he asked me if I wanted to get a drink. I had to tell him to eliminate the need to lie. When I told him that I was pregnant, he reacted way differently than I thought he would. He told me he was okay with it and then asked me if I wanted to go out again tomorrow. I said yes and he told me to meet him at McQua's because his shift ended at 5. 

I headed to work that day, excited because I was giving a huge presentation for the company. I got dressed in my most professional outfit. A black pencil skirt, a white blouse, and a black cardigan. The outfit was definitely snug on me now because I was getting into my pregnancy. I made a mental note to go shopping for some looser clothes. 

"Morning Ms. Triesta, ready for that report?" My boss asked me as I passed him in the hallway. "Definitely sir." I replied. He smiled professionally and nodded, "Glad to hear it." He replied. 

I headed to my office, a new email from Ronny first in my inbox.

Hey any way you might be available on Sunday morning? There is this big sale on baby stuff at The Baby Store. We also have some things to discuss.

RONNY POV

I woke up the next morning exhausted. The bar was crazy last night and I was nonstop busy. The girls were beautiful last night, and very flirty, particularly this blonde, but yet I couldn't help but hope Xo would walk through the door. 

I was hoping she would say yes to Sunday because I was dying to see her. We hadn't been together for a while since her last appointment was two weeks ago. I would have asked her to go somewhere tonight but I was working and didn't want to make her wait all night. 

XO POV

The day flew by, and so far I was having a great day. The presentation went extremely well, the CEOS of the current company we were working with loved my ideas, and my boss complimented me. 

I was walking tall and  feeling good. I got dressed in a maroon colored, long sleeved, sweater dress and wore tall, chestnut boots.

I arrived at the bar and saw Warner working magic at the bar. I sat down quietly at a stool and he smiled at me. He walked over, "Hey you, you look gorgeous." He said.

I blushed, "Thank you." I replied. 

"I can't wait to go out, just another 5 minutes." He said, then having to leave to tend to a customer. 

I waited patiently when the door clinked open and Ronny walked in. I panicked, I had no idea that he was going to be taking the shift over from Warner. Surprise was evident on his face, and he slowly walked over to me. "Xo? What are you doing here?" He asked curiously. 

"I-uh' I started to stammer when suddenly, Warner came over to us. 

"Ready?" He asked, oblivious to the awkwardness that was unfolding. Ronny looked at me, more intensely and curiously. 

"What does he mean?" Ronny asked me.

 "We're going on a date." Warner answered. 

Ronny's face darkened, "I wasn't talking to you." He snapped. 

"Hey Warner I'll meet you out front in a second." I said, trying to get a minute alone with Ronny.

Once Warner was out the door, I immediately turned to him. "Why are you so rude to Warner?" I asked him.

"Forget about that ass, what are you doing going on a date?" Ronny asked me.

I was taken aback, "What do you mean? I'm going on a date with a guy I am interested in, like any single girl or guy would do." I said, emphasizing on the single part. Hurt flashed across his face and I felt bad for some reason, it's not like we were dating or anything. 

After a moment, he stood stiffer and his face grew cold, "Okay, then. I don't want to hold you back anymore, go on your date." He said, stepping aside. 

"Have a good time." He said sarcastically to me as I walked away. I quickly turned around, 

"Don't worry I will." I said evenly, turning on my heel and heading out to meet Warner and escape Ronny.
