Wrong Injection

CHAPTER 31

Two months gone, and I stood naked in front of my long length mirror as I admired my five month bump, I was so in love with my baby and I couldn't wait to have him or her in my arms.

"You are getting bigger and bigger." I said to my belly rubbing it as I walked to grab a dress to wear from my closet. My phone rang shortly after I was done getting ready for the day and it was Bella.

"Hi Bella." I answered walking out of the house to work, yes work. My restaurant was finally opened and had been running for two months, and I couldn't thank Bella enough for this blessing.

"Hey how are you feeling today?" She asked.

"Good, will you pass by the restaurant today?"

"Of course, Gabby will be coming with me, we've decided to have dinner at your place."

"Awesome I'll be expecting you guys, bye." I hanged up and hopped into my car.

Though my restaurant was new, it was doing great and I appreciated how far life brought. Even though it wasn't how I planned my life to be, we never know what life itself has in store for us, so I was just living in in the moment.

Fast forward, I never heard from Sultan again after we bumped into each other at the hospital with his baby mama Veronica. He never called and I never tried not to call him either cause he broke his promise. Even though I was bothered and wanted to know what I did wrong for him to break his promise, I vowed never to contact him. Again he broke me, and I was never going to give him the chance to do that again.
                                  ~~~
It was another beautiful morning and amazing day. As I stretched and glanced at the watch on my nightstand before heading into the bathroom to do my morning routine. Turning on the faucet water, I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste from my drawer then started brushing my teeth. Making sure I got the front, back, sides and tongue, I turned off the water and down some fresh minted mouthwash. Gargling the mouthwash, I spat it out and rinsed my mouth. Before getting into the jacuzzi.

I pulled over at my restaurant and one of my waitresses came around to welcome me as always. "Hello Ma'am." She greeted and took my bag.

"Hello good morning, any customer so far?" I asked walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah two couples came in and had breakfast." She said.

"Talking of breakfast, I haven't had mine." I said then I noticed the chef wasn't in kitchen. "Where's the chef?"

"Washroom I guess."

"Okay tell him to make me breakfast when he comes." I said walking out of the kitchen.

"Okay ma'am, what exactly do you want for breakfast?"

"Anything, just anything yeah. I'll be in my in office. "

Later in the day I had to come out  and help my waitresses cause the restaurant was choked with lots of customers. I felt the need to help them serve since I wasn't actually busy in the office. "Ma'am please the gentleman sitting at the far end is asking to speak with you." One of my waitresses came to me and said and I looked at the gentleman. He smiled and waved at me and I waved back at him before walking up to him.

"Hi." I greeted.

"Hi I'm Jack." He introduced himself.

"Milani."

"Nice meeting you Milani." He said as he scanned my body, but his eyes instantly widened when they landed on my baby bump.

"You are pregnant." He said surprised.

"Yes I am. "

"Amazing."

"I hope you're enjoying your meal?" I had to change the topic.

"Yeah sure, of course."

"Glad to know, uh you asked to speak to me."

"Sure please sit." I nodded and sat down.

"Excuse me!" He called one of my waitresses and signified her to come clear his table. Minutes later, the waitress came and cleared the table.

"You are beautiful." He said out of the blue, taking me by surprise.

"Thanks, thanks a lot." I began to feel uncomfortable.

"This is actually my fifth time coming to your restaurant, and I've always wanted to have a word with you but I couldn't because I didn't know how to approach you." He said and we both laughed .

"I see, anyways thanks for being a regular customer." I sincerely thanked him.

"Yeah." He nodded. "I must admit your man is literally lucky to have a beautiful woman like you." He flattered and I smiled.

"Thanks but I don't have a man." I said truthfully, as I began to feel comfortable.

"Come on Milani, you don't expect me to believe that."

"I'm being honest but, I will appreciate if we don't talk about this." I said politely.

"Of course, I'm sorry." He apologized.

"It's okay." I said and looked at the watch on his wrist.

"Uh I'm sorry I got to go now, I'm sorry."

"Hey it's okay." I said as we both stood up. "I hope to see you again."

"Sure, expect me tomorrow." He said and I nodded smiling.

"Okay."

"Friends?" He stretched his hand out for a hand shake, and I shook it.

"Friends."
