Manhattan Nights

3.

I felt arms wrapped around my waist, i instantly woke up to see it was still dark outside. I turned to see Michael behind me, my heart began to beat i didn't know what to do. I sat up moving away from him a little, he stared at him not knowing what to expect

Michael: Baby im sorry.

I kept my mouth shut, i was scared, nervous and confused.

Michael: Im sorry i put my hands on you when i promised you i wouldnt do that. I really do apologize, a real man doesnt put his hands on a woman. I regret embarassing you infront of my friends. It was immature and childish of me ... baby im sorry and i love you.

He came closer to me grabbing both of my hands. He looked into my big brown eyes , he looked sorry but I've seen this look too many times .
Michael: Baby something...
Kianna: It's okay... Let's go to bed.
I knew if I had said something else he would keep apologizing all night and I wasn't trying to hear them. He leaned in for a kiss and I pulled away sliding back under my covers . I closed my eyes , I heard him slid into the covers beside me  placing his hand around my waist . I couldn't sleep , I stayed up all night letting my mind wander all around .

- the next morning
I got out of bed with Michael still in bed and hoped into the shower . I locked the bathroom door just so Michael wouldn't come in here trying to mess with me . I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the hot shower . I let the shower hit my skin , I grabbed my tooth brush and brushed my teeth inside the shower just to get it over with . I stepped out of the shower drying myself till I felt like throwing up , I crouched over the toilet seat throwing up yesterday's lunch I had at work. I got up flushing the toilet , I brushed my teeth twice rinsing my face again.
Getting dressed I put on my Pencil skirt and white button down shirt with my black Giuseppe's . I made sure to cover my bruises with my makeup so questions wouldn't be asked. I still felt some pain in my neck. I made note to get some Asprin at CVS.
I grabbed my purse heading downstairs to see my Chef making me French toast .
Kianna: Good morning .
Chef: Good morning Ms.Kareem how are you this morning ?
Kianna: I'm feeling okay just a little under the weather . I threw up .
I took a seat pushing my chair in making sure to let my family doctor know I'm going to make a quick stop at his office to get checked out . He placed my french toast in front of me , I began to dig in quickly pouring my syrup on it .
Chef : Ms.Kareem I wanted to talk to you about something ...
He stood in front of me with his hand folded in front of him.
Kianna: Sure what's up?
I took a sip of my Gatorade looking at him.
Chef: my moms sick back in Scotland and I was wondering if I could please go see her before anything happens I haven't seen her since I left and that was back in 2007. I understand if you'd want to fire me but family comes first. I wanted to leave tonight if that's okay with you....
Kianna: Sure! That's no problem . Your job will still be here for you when u get back. Your mom will be in my prayers
I stood up about to put my dishes in the sick , I then felt the urge to throw up again . I rushed to the nearest bathroom throwing up everything I just ate . I flushed the toilet grabbing my mouth wash from my purse and rinsed my mouth putting Gum into my mouth . As I was about to leave I gave Chef a hug and wrote him his $27k check for the month.
Chef : Thank you. And hopefully I'll be back for your baby shower with that little munchkin in your oven.
I looked at him with one eyebrow raised shooting a smile his way.

Kianna: Whatever you say. Be sure to leave the keys on the table , keep me updated on your mom and if you need anything im here for you.

With that i walked out the house and headed to the garage getting into my Purple Matte Lambo, i got in slamming the door. I put in my ' Covenant Keeping God" CD and let the song fill my ears. I started to sing along with Sonny Badu worshiping my God, my mom made sure we grew up with God and i made sure to never forget that. I sped off to my Doctors office, minutes later i got there my phone rang and it was my best friend Mocha she was a Radiologist at her fathers hospital.

Kianna: Whats up?

Mocha: Girl where have you been?

Kianna: Work work work work work.

I sang into the phone walking towards the door, i opened it listening to her ramble about how much she missed me. I took the elevator up to his room, its crazy how he built a glass hospital.

Kianna: Can you find me a new Chef?

Mocha: The other one quit?

Kianna: He had a family emergency can you find me one or not Mocha?

Mocha: Of course i can, lets have a girls night out tonight. Ill come get you tonight, look good for me! We havent been out in a while.

Kianna: Ugh fine Mocha. Text me the details im about to go to Dr. Echen real quick.

Mocha: Aw okay babes. Love you.

Kianna: Love you too.

I hung up walking straight into his office room i knocked before i entered he was standing there going through papers in his clipboard.

Dr. Echen: Hello Kianna. How are you?

Kianna: Im good Doctor. how have u been?

Dr. Echen: Great so what brings you here today? Take a seat.

I took a seat placing my purse beside me.

Kianna: Ive been tired lately and this morning i threw up i dont know whats going on with me.

Dr.Echen: Have you and Michael been intimate?

I laughed rolling my eyes.

Kianna : Yes we have been, but ive been on birth control for a while now.

Dr. Echen: Well birth control doesnt always work lets get you tested. 

He got up going into his cabinet handing me a cup to go urinate in.

Kianna: And when will i get the result?

Dr. Echen: Tonight.

I nodded heading into the bathroom, i closed the door pulling down my skirt and urinating into the cup. I wiped fixing myself before walking out, i handed him the cup and he took it into his lab. I grabbed my purse waiting for him to come out so i can head to work. 

Dr. Echen: How are your parents by the way? 

Kianna: Their doing well. But i have to rush back to work please let me know the results. 

Dr. Echen: I will. Have a great day.

I gave him a hug heading out and into the elevator. I made sure to take a quick selfie in the mirror.
