My Boss

Plan B.

"Soooo-ah, what you're telling us is you're willing to move out to Los Angeles to mind Adaria?" Mrs. Wilson asked Camille as they're both setting up the table for dinner.

"Yes, so it's not too much of a hassle rotating with Daddy, you, me and Melinda. I'll just move out there to make it easier." Camille sighed placing the utensils and napkins on the table.

"Let's talk more about this at dinner."

"Alright." Camille sat in her usual spot at the table.

"Dinner's ready." Mrs. Wilson called out from the dinning room.

Both Mr. Wilson and Adaria came down of course Adaria was recording herself letting the whole world know she was about get her grub. Thankfully, Mrs. Wilson snatched the phone out of her hand and set it on the kitchen counter. Mr. Wilson blessed the food before everyone could dig into the homemade shrimp scampi, kale ceaser salad alongside with homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing , and fresh squeezed lemonade.

"Mmm, mommy you always stay on point cooking." Adaria tilted her head back in awe after taking a bite into her shrimp scampi.

"Why thank you baby. Speak english sweetie when you're complimenting others. Not ladylike to speak such nonsense. Anywho, Camille and I had a little talk regarding to your housing plans with roommates. Camille feels it would be best for her to be your permanent roommate."

"Wait, what about the baby I mean did you tell Dennis yet, sweetie?"

"No, I didn't Daddy but I won't be telling him at all because I don't want to deal with more stuff on my plate. For now, I want to settle in L.A. with Adaria to get her modeling on the road. I'll find another job until the baby gets here I feel stressed as it is hiding from him. If it works for Adaria  if I just settle to be your roommate in California."

Adaria tucked her lips in grinning which meant she was down for the plan Camille has laid out for them.

"As you can see your sister feels that it is a good idea. In the meantime while you're getting ready for the baby your father and I will rent out a condo to help you with the baby. Does that work for you, my dear?"

Camille immediately felt her eyes burn up with tears. She couldn't believe her mom was actually falling through to help her out with the baby so hearing her mom plan to help her out with the baby made her feel that her Plan B  wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be. Eventually Camille is going to have to tell Dennis about the baby however she needed to do what could be best for her and the baby.

"Now, that's settled and out of the way. May I ask why you won't tell Dennis yet?" Mr. Wilson asked while sipping on his lemonade.

Camille folded her hands to set the tone of her reasons to why she's not going inform Dennis.

"I'll talk to him when I have the baby. Right now with his wife being pregnant as well it would be too much. She needs to have this moment without all of this going going on, that's inconsiderate. Once I get settled with Adaria in L.A. I promise I'll talk to him."

"Sweetie, let's not pressure this on her because we do need a healthy grandchild." Mrs. Wilson chimed grabbing onto Camille's hand.

"That sounds reasonable to me like your mother said we will rent out a condo to help you with our grandbaby. Alright let us enjoy this meal."

"I'm so happy we were able to settle this out." Adaria forked into her salad smiling at her family.

Melinda sat at her desk with her hands over her face. Feeling absolutely stuck because all she wants to do is confront Dennis. She feels as though he should be the one to telling her why he feels Camille is choosing to work more at home than being here. Ever since she showed up at work feeling frustrated but she has kept her promise to not mention the pregnancy to Dennis.
