Shelly

This man was getting on my nerves, he just didn't stop he was starting to become mushy. We went to wicked bitches wedding, left before the reception. I started getting nauseous as soon as smelled the aroma of the food. I had to make up a lie about not wanting white people food, Jamal joined in the lie as well. Bad enough Mam Maw almost figured it out, so I was out of there before Ryan noticed anything. Right now Jamal was here in the Boutique, driving me up a damn wall. He didn't have to be at  work so he decides to bring me lunch which was very sweet, but every time I tried to left something .......anything he was running over. Its been two weeks he has been doing this driving me nuts I swear. Right now he was sitting behind me I am sure eyeing my ass.

"you sure you don't have no where to be today ?" I said turning around.

"nah" he said. Licking his lips, I rolled my eyes and went back to checking off inventory.

"shel I....oh hey Jamal what you doing here ?"  Ryan asked. I tensed up Jamal looked at me and smirked.

"oh nothing thought I will stop by and see what was up you two today and Shel here was craving Joe's....."

"what?"

" He was just leaving before I kill him, wasn't you Jamal?" I said. I can't believe he just said that.

"nope, I am not doing nothing for the rest of the afternoon, need some help with the shipment Ry?" he said. Ryan stood there looking back and fourth between us.

" I swear you two act like a married couple." she laughed. "matter a fact I will take you up on your offer. their is some shipment being unloaded now, you think you can direct them to the work room.?"

"Anything for you Ry."

" shut up Jamal ." she said . I rolled my eyes and turned back to my work. He left I thought Ryan did too until she came up behind me.

"I think he likes you."

" I hope not."

"oh come on now Shel give him a chance."

"No thanks I will pass." I said.

"I don't know why you are so hard on him like that?" she said shaking her head and going into her office. I tried to finish up the inventory but I couldn't concentrate. I needed to tell Ryan before Jamal's big mouth blabs. I walked to the back and she had her head in her computer. I knocked on the door softly, I was scared as shit I wasn't even this scared when I told my mother.

"Yea whats up Shel." she said. not taking her eyes off the computer screen. I walked in and stood in front of her desk.

"Um....um....um pregnant."

Ryan

I didn't think I heard this girl correctly. "What?"

"I said that I am pregnant." yea she said what I thought I heard her say. I got up from my desk and went to close the door. I turned back to hear she was shaking.

"Shelly....when?......how...are you serious?" I just was still in shock that she just told me this.

"Yes damn it Ryan your not making this easier right now." she said. she kept putting her head down. I know I was making her feel bad, I walked over to her and grabbed her hands. I tilted her head to me and starred in her eyes. Yep, she is telling the truth and not trying to give me a heart attack. I hugged her she started crying.
