Bonds Built (Completed)

5. They meet, again.

"I'm scared." Jessica let out as she looked herself over once more, she was meeting up with Mateo in less than an hour.

Alexis stood by with her arms crossed. "For what? The hard part is out the way. You already told him you were pregnant."

That much was true, but they were meeting in person about it. This was much harder to Jessica. "Still Alexis, we're meeting up about me being pregnant."

Alexis smiled, "is that all you're nervous about? You look mighty cute and you keep looking yourself over." Jessica rolled her eyes, of course she didn't want to look a mess when she saw him but it was nothing like she was trying to make it seem. "Yes, that's all I'm nervous about."

A knock came through on her door as she looked at Alexis, "what you looking at me for? I don't live here. I don't have anybody coming over."

"I don't either," Jessica stated as she made her way to the door. She was surprised to see Dwayne. She opened the door all smiles as even more nerves took over her, she felt like she was cheating on him by meeting up with Mateo. "Hey baby" she cooed. He kissed her on her lips before responding. "Hey babe, I was nearby so I thought I'd stop by." He walked in spotting Alexis. "What's up Lex?" He nodded his head in her direction. She gave a small smile and wave.

"What you two about to get into?" Alexis was quick on her feet with a response. "Girls day." She smiled, "about to go eat in a bit." Dwayne nodded, "well that's what's up. Don't let me get in the way. I'm going to use the bathroom and grab a water and then I guess I'll get up with you later baby."

Jessica nodded just as her phone's text tone went off. She looked down at the unknown number as she unlocked her phone to read it. Hey, it's Mateo. We still on for 3?

She quickly responded with a yes. Mateo always liked to double check the day of, he hated to waste his time and people didn't show or canceled super last minute.

He locked his phone after reading the message putting his attention back on Sofia as she talked about something she wanted to do while they were here. He told her he had a last minute meeting here, which wasn't a lie he just didn't tell her what he was meeting about. But she was more than thrilled to go, she loved coming to San Fran.

He rethought about being in public with Jessica after Sofia mentioned some places she wanted to go, it would look bad if he got caught in the public eye with her, he typically didn't get hit by the media. But when any pro athlete is seen with another woman the media will definitely draw attention to it. He sent her a quick text asking if they could just meet at her place.

Jessica hesitated as she read the message, she looked up at Alexis as she neared her. Dwayne was in the bathroom and she didn't want him to hear her. "He asked to meet here," she said lowly.

Alexis nodded, "that makes sense. It will look bad if the media catches it."

Jessica realized she made a decent point, she looked around her apartment happy that she cleaned up the day before. She sent him a quick yes as she dropped her location.

"Okay baby, I'm out!" Dwayne said coming up from behind. He kissed the side of her face as he placed his hands on her hips. She slightly turned telling him okay, he said bye to Alexis and made his way out.

Alexis grabbed her purse, waiting a few minutes to where she felt like Dwayne was long gone "well I should probably head out too. It's 2:30pm so I'm sure he'll be heading this way soon." She made her way to the door as Jessica followed, they said their goodbyes and then Jess closed and locked the door. "Now the waiting game," she spoke to herself as she went and plopped on the couch.
