I start thinking about what my mother said. I cannot get pregnant. I can't. I just can't. I decide to get in the shower. I get in and wash my body up and down. When I get out I hear my phone ringing. I run to it. It's Braylen. Should I answer or ignore it....
"Hello." I say before thinking.
"Hi beautiful what're you doing?" He asks.
"Oh just got out of the shower." I say.
"Wish I was there with you." He says.
"Me too." I say shortly.
"Well I'm going to finish up this meeting and what do you say we order Chinese tonight and hang at your place, watch a movie or something?" He asks.
"Well I would love to but I promised my dear sweet mother that I would take her to the doctors this evening." I say, not thinking about the lie that just came out of my mouth.
"Oh of course that's fine, another time then?" He asks.
"Sure."
"Alright I'm going to finish this up I'll talk to you in a little while sweetheart." He says.
"Okay bye." I say.
What am I thinking he wants to hangout with me why am I saying no? Oh yeah, because I could get pregnant by him and if I drop that bomb on him like most guys he won't want to be with me after that.
Once the cookies are done I set them all in a bowl. I go plop on my couch and start watching Lifetime movies. This is the life. I hear a knock on my door. I go and look in the peephole. Some guy holding roses what the hell. I open it.
"Hi is there an Ellis here?" He asks.
"Whose asking?" I fire back.
"I have a flower delivery from Braylen." He says.
"Okay I'll take them thank you." I say.
I wave him off after I sign his handheld device. I read the tag aloud. : "To you beautiful. -Braylen" Hmm. Flowers this is definitely a trap. I set the roses in a vase with water and go back to watching my movie. After the movies over I hear my phone ringing. I pick it up and answer.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hi beautiful, did you receive the flowers?" He asks.
"Yes they're lovely, and I want to thank you." I say.
"Don't mention it, I hoped you'd like them,
I asked your mom your favorite kind."
"What's the occasion?" I ask.
"I wanted to give them to you in an exchange for me having to skip out on you this morning." He says.
Thank you again, they're radiant. Well I better get to bed, I'm beat. I'll see you sometime soon." I say.
"Pale in comparison to you Ellis, I want to see you sooner than soon, goodnight, sweet dreams."
