Perfect Strangers

Chapter Six

"So the 4th of july is this weekend and my family normally does a pretty big celebration. I know i'm telling you last minute but i'm going to have to fly to Chicago tomorrow." Rick says really fast.

I giggle at him talking so fast.
"Okay Rick."

"Your not mad?"

"No. Why would I be mad?"

"I don't know.Good your not mad. So your coming right?"

"Wait what? Is that what you are trying to ask?"

"Yes, so?"

"I'm i don't know about that Rick."

"Oh come on they will love you."

"But I'm pregnant."

"Yeah that's not unusual Lake."

"Yeah but it is with a man you just met a month ago."

"They won't care."

"We aren't married. I don't have a job."

"Yes you do you work at Stevens and Co."

"I'm an intern. I'm pretty sure no one there even knows who I am."

"I'm pretty sure they do babe." He smiles.

"What? Why are you smiling like that at me."

"Well i guess I should tell you now before this weekend. But uh yeah so my family's business is Stevens and Co. and i'm the Ceo of the atlanta company.So yeah i'm pretty sure people know who you are because I talk about you everyday."

"And you didn't think to tell me that the day I told you I was an intern." I almost quote his words he said the day he found out that he was the father. I smirk at him and put a hand on my hip.

"I'm sorry I just liked herring you stories about what people do everyday at work." He shrugs.

"Haha very funny. And i'm not going with you."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to. I'm going to feel so out of place."

"And why do you think that Lake?"

"The obvious reason Rick i'm black."

"What?! Your black?! I didn't know. Oh my gosh what am my going to do! I'm having a baby with a black girl. My father is going to kill me, my mother is going to have a heart attack, and my siblings are going to disown me. What ever shall I do?"

"Rick i'm serious!"

Rick comes close to me and hugs me tight.

"I don't care about the color of your skin or that we are having a baby together after just meeting each other and i'm sure my family won't care either." He grabs my face and kisses me.

I think for a second about all the pros and cons of going with him.

Cons:
-I am probably going to be the only black person there.
-I am going to be in a household full of all of my bosses.
-I don't know anyone and it gives me anxiety and that's not good for my baby.
-I'm getting a little bump not and I look bloated.
-They are probably going to make me sleep on the couch. Outside.
-They are going to ask me a lot of questions.
-The fireworks could explode and she their house on fire and somehow it's going to be my fault.
-They are all going to think i'm a slut.
-They are going to poison my food for ruining the sons life.
-They are going to act like i'm invisible.

Pros:
-Rock will be there.

And that's all I need to say.

"Okay Rick, Ill go."

The Next Day....at 5 in the morning!

"Lake wake up." Rick gently moves my hair out of my face.

"Shit it's so early." I say turning on my back and rubbing my face with my hands.

"I know it's sucks but we have a 5 hour flight ahead of us and Mom wants us there by 9 which is our ten."

"Grrrrrrr." I angrily look at him.

"We leave in 30 mins." He smiles at me and leaves the room.

On the Plane...

"This is so nice."

"It's the companies so this is technically a business trip." He chuckles.

"Alright. Sure."

"I'm really nervous."

"Don't be, It will be fine." He reaches over and rubs my belly.

"You know sometimes I feel weird when you rub my stomach like it still hasn't hit me that a person is growing inside of me."

"There is and she's going to be beautiful just like her mother."

"No he's going to be handsome just like his father." I smile and rub my own stomach right next to Rick's hand.

"I'm excited for you to meet my family, I just know that they are going to love you."

"I hope so."

"Hungry?" Rick asks.

"Um yeah because someone wouldn't let me stop for breakfast." I cross my arms.

"Because someone took two hours to get ready when I said we had 30 mins."

"That's o my because someone Just have to accidentally make my towel fall and attack me right on the bathroom counter!"

"Yeah I have no regrets about that one."He smirks and raises his eyebrow at me.

"Yeah me either." I laugh and Rick calls the flight attendant and orders us both stacks of pancakes.

When the flight attendant brings out our food we immediately start eating and when we are done we cuddle up on the two front seats and turn on the tv in front of us. It's Ricks turn to choose the movie since I chose the one last night. He picks This Is The End. And he's laughing at every joke and I just watch him enjoy the movie and drift off to sleep.

"Lake we have landed."
