Black Orchid (Student/Teacher)

Chapter 14

“Ready to see your man?” I playfully glared at Fey as we walked into Dominic’s new classroom. Dominic was sitting in his comfortable desk chair and was leaning back with his feet up on the desk.

He looked absolutely delicious in his sea foam green dress shirt that was rolled up to his forearms. I had no shame in staring and I’m sure he knew it because that smirk was permanently situated on his face. The bell rang and I settled down with Fey, but I still stayed admiring the father of my child.

“Hey class, I’m pretty sure you guys all know who I am. But today since I really don’t have a plan made for class, we’ll spend it playing a get to know each other game, it’s called 2 truths, one lie.” I love this game, but I’ve always sucked at it. People were always able to tell almost immediately what my lie was, so the game was never as fun for me.

A low buzz erupted and I’m sure it was the teenager minds creating ways to get complimented on their truths without being too blunt about it. High-schoolers were always fishing for compliments.

“I’ll start the game off. So, here’s my three. I have a pregnant girlfriend. I love to skateboard. And I once went on a desert trek in Egypt.” Everyone began to make their choices. I clearly knew the lie being his love for skateboarding. If anything, he hated skateboards since he watched the old show, Scarred. “Who wants to make a guess?”

All the female hands shot up and I rolled my eyes at how typical they all were. He chose Poppy, a calm girl who was known for her crazy side behind closed doors. I never noticed her slutiness, but this time I didn’t miss the subtle push of her chest towards Dominic and her innocent doe eyed look that probably pulled a lot of guys for her.

I’m happy to say my man didn’t even bat an eyelash.

“Well Dr. Romano, I think your lie is about having a pregnant girlfriend. I think you’re single.” He smirked at her.

“You are incorrect, Ms. Poppy. I do indeed have a pregnant girlfriend that I love to go home to every night.” Pride swelled in my chest at his comment and my ego swelled from the deflated faces of all the females in the room. “My lie was my love for skateboards. I went on the desert trek about 3 years ago with a college friend.”

“Impressive, sir.”

“Any volunteers? Aves?” I fake glared at Dominic, but I’m sure he saw the amusement in my eyes.

“Uh, well I have an older boyfriend, my best friend is Fey, and my little brother’s name is Jim.” This should be an easy one for anyone who knows me, but I like that the one answering the questions was Dominic.

It would be an interesting sight, since Dominic knew the answer. He better know my brother’s name considering we all live together.

“I’m going to guess it’s that your brother’s name is Jim. I’m pretty sure you’re related to an Orlando.” He said chuckling. I nodded and he moved on with the rest of the class as I daydreamed about my life now. Orlando had settled in great to Dom’s house and he considered it his own home. I loved that he felt so comfortable. I’d also found a home in Dom’s house, but it had more to do with the man who owned the house.

Dominic was such an attentive boyfriend. He’d already bought pregnancy books and researched. Every night he read a story to our little baby and kissed my stomach before wrapping me in his arms and whispering that he loved me.

He was too perfect.

Eventually the bell rang and everyone began to clear out, leaving me and Fey with Dom. “You love coming home to me every night? That’s cute.” He grinned.

“How can I not love it when I have you and our little baby to look after, even Orlando with his overly independent butt.” I chuckled even though it was true. For a 12 year old, he sure got to hang out a lot. It was my fault because I allowed it, but I can’t deny his innocent eyes the pleasure of hanging out with his friends.

As long as he does what he needs to do, he gets to keep having fun. “Oh babe, we can’t leave right away. I have a friend meeting us here and going home with us.” I nodded and shrugged, not really caring too much about the guest.

We waited a little longer when a woman knocked on the door, beaming at Dom. “Domy? Is that you?” He looked up at beamed at the female who was strutting towards him like she owned the world.

“Hannah! I missed you so much!” He hugged her tightly and kissed her cheek. I don’t know if it was my hormones or my intense jealousy as a girlfriend, but I was pissed. I gathered my stuff and stood to leave, Fey following suit.

“Where you going, Aves?” No babe or Querida? Fine then, I get it.

“I’m leaving with Fey. Go ahead and play catch up with Hannah here.” I smiled extremely fakely and left the room with Fey behind me.

“He looked so confused.” I huffed as we continued to aimlessly walk through the hallways.

“Good.”

***

I fluffed up my pillow on the guest bed and rolled over, uncomfortable without my nightly human pillow. He was off in the living room have a grand time with Hannah. Her name alone annoyed me and I decided that I couldn’t deal with the woman or Dominic right now.

Ever since she showed up, I’ve stayed closed off and quiet and my usually attentive boyfriend didn’t even notice. I recently found out, meaning 5 minutes before coming in here to sleep, that she would be sleeping over. I sighed again and tried to get comfortable, but the lights flipped on, blinding me temporarily.

“Charlotte? Why aren’t you in your room?” So I’m Charlotte now and it’s my room, not our room?

“My room? Really, Dom?” He looked at me like I was crazy, and maybe I was, but I was still pregnant and pissed off.

“Charlotte, what’s wrong?” I shook my head and stood up brushing past him and his little ‘friend’. I walked until I reached Orlando’s room and creaked open the door to see my brother fast asleep. I tip toed to the bed and curled up to him. I missed being close like this with him, it’d been a while since we last slept in the same bed.

He was still my baby brother, even though he was growing up so quickly. “Char?”

“Hey bud. Can I sleep here tonight?” He nodded sleepily and curled back into me and his deep breaths resumed. My stomach felt a little queasy, but I ignored it and fell asleep thinking about my life.

Orlando was growing up and now all I had left was my little baby.
