Pregnant

Chapter 9

The next five weeks went by in a blur, of course I got more pregnant and I started to show. Gabby decided that the next morning after my parents anniversary party she was going to throw me a housewarming party. Her, Aug and Odell invited their famous friends to the party. It was a nice thing to do and I would have definitely enjoyed it more had I been able to drink just a little bit. Now I'm no heavy drinker, but I do like to have a little something. My classes are going well, and I getting ready to finish this semester and then start the next semester, and then I can graduate and start my career.

"Alright that raps up this class. I expect to see great papers the next time we meet next Tuesday. Don't over think it, just let it come to you" my professor said. Mr. Gans was a cool dude, he respected everyone and everyone had the same respect back. Everyone was mostly cleared out when I walked up to Mr. Gans. I had already started on my paper and I wanted to know if I was headed in the right direction.

"Ah Ms. Alsina how can I help you" he gave me a smile.

I returned the smile, "Well you know me, I'm already a head on the paper..." I started to say.

"And you just wanted feedback. I understand, your a great student. I wish all my students were like you. Let's take a look" he finished. I handed him my paper and we sat down and discuss both the good and bad things. About 20 minutes later we finished and I gather my stuff up. Thanking him i left the classroom and headed out to my car. I stopped at the Starbucks little shop they had and got an ice coffee. Yes, I know, but I'm allowed to have some caffeine. I paid then went out to my car and got in. I drove back to my apartment, which by the way I have come to love. Odell spends a lot of time here, he wants me to move back in with him, but I need to do my own thing, have my own thing. If we were getting married that be different, but that's never going to happen so it's better that I'm on my own for now. I didn't give him a key, the only person who has a key is August. I didn't even give my bestie one. I took the elevator up to the third floor and walked down the hall to my door. Of course Odell was there waiting.

"Please tell me you haven't been waiting that long" I said.

He gave me a weak smile, "Only an hour. I forgot you had class today".

"Next time text me" I said unlocking the door.

"I did, five times" he said. I took my phone out my purse and checked it, sure enough he texted me and so did August and Gabby.

"Sorry". I checked Gabby's messages first it read:

Your not going to believe this, but I got the role for the movie!!!! Call me when you get this ASAP!

I'm glad she got the role, I know she was dying to get it, and she get to play next to her favorite actor, Dwayne Johnson. I was definitely going to go on set to meet him. I looked at Aug message next:

Hey sis, I need you to call me after class and try before you go to work too. Mom and dad are looking for you. I didn't give them your address, just call me asap. Love you

What the hell could they possibly want, I wondered.

"Ash" Odell said. I looked up from my phone and he was just staring at me.

"Sorry, what did you say" I asked?

"If you wanted to catch a movie tonight"?

"Um sure after I get off work, which I get off at 9" I replied. I walked in my bedroom and changed out my street clothes and into my black jeans and referee shirt. I was only working part time at Foot Locker. I had money, I just wanted to keep busy, and they offered me the hours I wanted so I took it.

"Okay I'll meet you here after you get off work then" he said.

I nodded and smiled, "Sure". I got back on my phone and called August.
