Pregnant

Chapter 6

Its been two months since I moved in with Odell. My days have consisted of getting up in the mornings to go to practice with Odell, or I just sleep in. My best friend went Europe, but she should be back really soon. She told me she would try to get her job to let her move back here to New York so she could be here with me.

If August doesn't have work to do, he is always by my side. Then again he does it when he has work to do as well. He drags me to things that he has to do, without even asking me if I was to go. Sometimes I don't mind, I don't really have anything else to really do. I do just focus on my schooling, and trying to finish the semester. I'm so close to being a Dental Hygienist, I just have another year left of schooling and I will have accomplished my goals.

"Ashlyn" Someone yelled! I don't understand why Odell let August get a key to his house, I will never understand that. I stopped typing and saved my work. Then I closed my laptop and left my room. I walked down the stairs and met August in the foyer.

"Give me the key" I said. He looked offended, but he handed me the key. I didn't want him to just be able to barge in what if something was going on not like I was planning on them, but still. "Now what is it that you want"?

"I got us tickets to see Gabby at her show in two days. She'll be coming here" August announced.

"Oh my goodness, you freaking rule" I hugged him. "She's going to be so surprised".

August smiled, "Yeah I can't wait to see her again".

"I knew you would settle down one day" I told him. He shook his head, then tried to play it off.

"It ain't like that" he shrugged.

"If you say so. Anyway I have to get ready, Odell has his first pre season game today against New England today. I need to get there early so that I don't get bumped by anyone. Plus I have to fly" I explained.

Beep. Beep. I opened the door and found my ride waiting for me. I ran back up stairs, put my laptop in the bag. I put my overnight bag over my shoulder and carried my laptop on my other shoulder. I looked back in the room to see if I forgot anything thing, and I almost left without my phone. That would have been problematic. I went back and grabbed it then I left the room with my stuff.

"Let me help you" August was standing at the top of the stair case.

"Thanks" I let him have the overnight bag. It was filled with much. I had two outfits in there, my hygiene stuff, and shoes. We walked down the stairs, I was glad to have a brother like him. He makes me proud and I try hard to keep him proud of me. We went up to the car and put my stuff in the trunk.

"Alright you be safe now. Call me when you land so that I know that your safe" August insisted. See, I have a awesome brother.

I hugged him, " I will I promise. Love you" I got in the car and rolled the window down.

"Love you too" August gave me a smile. Behind his smile he seemed sad, I'm going to have to figure out what's going on with him. The driver pulled off and I tried to get my mind ready for the airport, Lord knows I hate flying and I hate how crowded it be. It took us about twenty minutes to reach the airport. I know I've lived in LA for half my life, but every time I'm driving or riding, I love looking at everything. Its so beautiful here.

"We're here Ma'am" the driver said.

"Thanks" I said. I got out the car and went around to the trunk, where the driver was waiting. I grabbed my bags and then walked into the airport. As soon as I got in I saw a young man holding a sign with my name on it. Thank Goodness it only had my first and middle name, I don't need people asking me if I'm related to August Alsina. I walked up to him and smiled. He took my bags and told me to follow him. I pulled out my phone and did a group text with Aug and Odell.

Me: I don't know which one of you it was but thank you for not putting my last name... 9:45 am

Odell: Well it was August idea, I just made sure it happened. 9:47 am

August: Yeah, we basically came up with it together. We knew what could happen lol and we know how you are around people you don't know. 9:50 am

Me: Well thank you both. I'm about to board my plane. Also thank you Odell for letting me use you private jet. 9:52 am

Odell: No problem. Have a safe trip, see you soon. 9:53 am

I boarded his jet and settle down in my seat. We took off at exactly Ten o'clock. I laid back and went to sleep. Pregnancy really takes a toll on a woman's body and it made me sleepy all the time.

A few hours later

I felt someone give me a light shake. I slowly opened eyes and found the flight attended standing there.

"Sorry to wake you" she gave me a apologetic smile.

I cleared my throat, "It's okay. Are we there"?

"About thirty minutes left. Did you want to eat something before me land" she asked me.

"Sure. Anything you got back there with some apple juice" I answered. She nodded then walked toward the back. I had planned to get a little more work done for class, but clearly that didn't work out. A few minutes later she came with scrambled eggs, toast, smoky links and my apple juice.

"Thank you, but how did you know" I asked?

"Odell let me know what you like to eat" she said. See! He's such a wonderful brother and I can't help but love him. I ate my food and found I was a lot hungrier than I thought. By the time I got done eating we were landing. A few minutes later the plane landed and I was able to stand up and stretch my legs. I got off the jet and there was a car waiting for me. I got in the vehicle, as the driver put my bags in the trunk. After, he drove me to the hotel that Odells team was staying at. Odell was waiting for me in the lobby. I walked in and went up to the front desk.

"Hello. How can I help you" the receptionist asked?

"Yes, she needs a room key to room 2334" Odells voice said. I turned around and hugged him. I haven't seen him in a few days. "Well hello to you too Ash" he hugged me back.

I pulled back, "Sorry. Its just weird being at the house by myself, its so big".

"Sorry for being gone for so long. shall we get up to the room" he asked? I nodded and looked back at the receptionist who was holding out a key for me. I took it and followed Odell and the bellhop followed us.
