Only You

Chapter 44: No Promises

"Jasmine!" I shout to her before she goes into her classroom. I love how she owns like twenty pairs of converse. Every time I see her she has a different pair, I don't think she likes other shoe brand. They look pretty on her, they suit her really well.

"Hi, Allie." She says with a smile when I get closer to her. I hug her and we move to one side so we don't block the door and everyone can pass.

"How are you?" I ask, "I'm sorry you couldn't stay with us the other day." I honestly say. We had so much fun at House of Flavors. We talked and laughed a lot, it was a blast. I haven't felt so happy in a long time and it would have been better if she had joined us, but I understand she was working and she can't stop attending people whenever she pleases.

"Yeah, me too. Maybe we can go out any other day I don't have to work." She says and I nod.

"That's an excellent idea!" I excitedly say. I wonder when she doesn't have to work, because it was Saturday and she was working. Maybe she rests in between the week, I don't know.

"By the way, Eric told me he saw you at a party the other night." She informs. What party? At Robert's? I didn't see him there. I don't doubt he indeed was there, but he didn't even come to me to say hi.

"Really?" I rhetorically ask, "I didn't saw him there." I say and her face shows a confused look, "Everyone was all over the place, so maybe that's why we didn't bump into each other." I try to give an explanation to the whole matter.

"Good morning, girls." A woman's voice says, interrupting our conversation. I look to the side and find someone I wasn't expecting. Damn, that belly grows an inch of circumference every day, it's huge. I can't control my eyes from looking at her big belly. It catches my attention every time I see her.

"Good morning, Mrs. Annabelle." Jasmine and I say at the same time. I look at Jasmine and she's staring at her belly too. The baby must be huge because Mrs. Anabelle is so thin and slim and her body has transformed like crazy since she told us she was pregnant. She even has boobs now.

I think she will be giving birth in approximately two months, that's what my math skills say to me but I may be wrong.

"What are you doing here?" Jasmine asks her. I was wondering the same. She keeps saying she will rest for the baby's sake but she keeps working and walking around like normal people do.

"I was picking some files at the office and-", she looks at me and then back to Jasmine, "I needed to get some things done before I left."

"Where are you going?" My mouth asks without thinking first. I shouldn't care about her personal life but I'm just curious.

"We're moving to Colorado for a few months, maybe a year." She answers, "David, my fiancé, grew up there and we want the baby born in the city he was raised." She adds. Oh, that's interesting. I still can't picture someone wanting to spend the rest of their life with this woman. Although she seems pretty nice and decent today and the last few times I've seen her, I still believe she's an irritating person.

The bell rings and Jasmine's teacher enters the room. "It was nice seeing you Mrs. Annabelle," It's funny how she wants us to call her Mrs. when she hasn't even married the man, "Good luck with the baby." Jasmine says before walking into the room. "I'll see you later." She tells me and I smile.

"Bye." I say and she walks inside. "I should better get going too." I tell Mrs. Annabelle. I don't want to be late to my class.

"Sure." She says and a smile appears on her face. She's still wearing the same red lipstick, how come she not get tired from wearing the same red lip product every day? I know I would. "Before you go," she says and grabs my arm when I take a step away, "Can you hand this to your dad?" She says and gets a thick folder out of her purse. There must be tons of papers in there. Sometimes I see my dad reading hundreds and hundreds of papers I even get exhausted from just watching him, poor man.
