Jade finished her shift at bookstore then walked home. While walking, her uncle's words kept playing in her mind. 'What kind of accident that made her mum gone? Where were they heading? Why her uncle still needed her to run the company although he never asked her before?'. Those questions make Jade wonder but her mom why it has to be her mom? Jade wished it's her father who dead rather than her beloved mom.

I kept walking until I arrived at my flat. When opened the door, I smelled food and it's lasagna! God my stomach started to growl. 'But who's cooking in my flat?', my mind screamed. But then I realized it's Perrie. Shit I completely forgot about her. What should I tell her about tomorrow? I couldn't just say 'Hi Pez I have to go tomorrow because I need to run my company and my mom just died so yeah' ugh not happening. Perrie couldn't know yet.
I sighed and walked toward the kitchen. I didn't find her there then I walked to our bedroom and saw her already sleeping. She looked so peaceful but wait did I just said OUR bedroom? Well that was smooth. I rolled my eyes at my comment. All of sudden Perrie started to stir then she opened her eyes and looked at me then smiled. Shit she would think I'm a creep now who watched her sleeping.
"I am sorry Jade I fell asleep, I made you lasagna, I bet you hungry", she said.
"Eh no I", I tried to denied it because she probably tired and still sleepy but my stupid stomach growled make her chuckle.
"Come on Jade I'll heat up the food for you" she smiled at me then got up to the kitchen.
I blushed at her and walked behind her. I sat on a chair and she started heat up the lasagna. While waiting she sat opposite me and looked at me.
"Jade where were you? I called you so many times but you didn't answer", she said pouting. God I wanted to kiss her right now.
"Ehm sorry Pez I was kinda busy because there was this annoying customer that complaint about stuff", I huffed.
She looked at me with sad smile, "I am sorry about that".
I gave her small smile. God I should have be the one who felt guilty because I just lied to her but I thought she bought my excuse.
Later that night when we already went to bed, I sneaked out from the bedroom and called my uncle.
"Hello Jade are you that excited to go home so you need to call me right now?", Victor said sleepily. I rolled my eyes.
"Excuse me Vic but actually this is urgent and I need to tell you asap. I think we need to cancel the plan to go to see my mom's tomb", I said quietly not to wake Perrie.
"Why? What's the urgent?", he said fully awake now.
"No I can't tell you just not now. I'll tell you when it's time and I'll call you if I change my mind for now I can't and have to go", I said in a rush because I heard shuffling from inside the bedroom, then I hung up before he could reply.
I instantly put my phone inside my pocket pyjama and walked casually toward bedroom. When I opened the door, I saw Perrie already walked toward the door too and when she saw me she stopped then looked at me with concern.
"Jade are you okay? Where were you?", she asked.
"Uh toilet and I was kinda dizzy so I walked around a bit", and dang I lied again.
"Do you wantbme to get you painkiller or something?", she asked.
"No thanks", I smiled at her nervously and luckily it was dark so she couldn't see me clearly.
She smiled then went to bathroom. I felt guilty and why didn't I just being honest to her? Well maybe I was scared if she knew the real me, she would act differently toward me and I didn't want that and because I was so done with fake people in my life.
I sighed then laid my body down on bed. Not long after I felt Perrie laid down next to me and nuzzled her head into my neck. I held her body tight.
"I love you Jade", she told me then went to sleep.
I smiled at her words and whispered 'I love you' then went to sleep as well.
5 months later...

I felt Jade been distance lately. She came home late almost everyday and she barely talked to me again. I don't know what happened but she kept saying that she was busy with her job. I felt guilty and I tried to help her because I still 6 months pregnant and maybe I can still work for a bit. But whenever I tried to told her that, she started screamed and said that she still able to afford us so I just shut my mouth because I didn't want her to be mad at me.
I missed the old Jade that so caring and gentle toward me. The only time she was still caring and gentle were whenever we had sex. We've been did it lately because my hormones was weird and because I caught Jade twice when she jerked off toward my back while I sleep. But now I started to think that Jade just wanted me for sex. I knew it's just my hormones but I had no time to talked about it with Jade because she always busy. I just wanted to be loved again by her like before because I missed her and needed her so much right now.

God my life stressed me out! I barely could afford me and Perrie now. Two jobs not enough these days and with Perrie being almost 7 months meant that the baby would be her soon and I need more money. I don't know what I should I do again. Today I called the day off of my jobs told them I didn't feel goos and need rest but actually I didn't lie, I was exhausted. I just chilling at home and sat on couch while I played with my phone, I saw my uncle's number and I got an idea but it must be risky but well let's try it.
I rang his number and he immediately answered, "Jade thank godness you finally called me! We need you asap I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!", he said then hung up.
Eh how rude but he probably busy at the moment and he would explain everything tomorrow anyway. I sighed and closed my eyes. Perrie, I barely talked to her these days. I felt bad but I don't know what to do because whenever I was home, I always exhausted and she already asleep. So we just talked in the morning. Actually I missed her so much but I did what I think was the best for now.

I walked to the living room and saw Jade looked stressed then I sat beside her. She instantly reached and held my hand in hers. That brought the smile to my lips. Then I remembered about my appointment for Tuesday.
"Jade I have appointment on Tuesday, will you come?", I asked hopefully.
She looked at me unsure, "I will try okay", she smiled at me.
I just nodded my head and cuddled into her while she started rubbing my bump and I felt the baby kicked and I saw Jade smile so wide. I wish we could stay like this forever.
