Baby Mama

14 the end

"Good work Elizabeth." My professor praised as he handed me back my paper.

I picked it up and glanced at the score. 94/100

I gave myself a mental pat on the back. It took me 7 days to write this paper and I'm was relieved my hard work paid off.

"Ok class, for our next project your going to be working on business plans. You choose what business, the risks, the gains , budgeting, profit etc. The person with the most efficient and effective plan gets 100 points extra credit, everything you need to know in the class file. Any questions?"

There was a 5 second wave of silence. "Class dismissed."

I jumped up and gathers my things. I looked at the clock it was 1:58, I had to get Jilly at 2:30. I darted out the room. I rushed out the building. Julianna daycare was 30 mins away. I had to rush so she wouldn't be waiting there alone.

I jumped into my car and practically speed off. Leaving skid marks.

--
Jilly was standing outside with her daycare provider. I sighed knowing I was going to be chewed out. I slowly got out the car. "Hello Ms.Kim my class was running a little late. I'm sorry."

She looked at me with disappointment. "Mmmhum, I'm not a overnights daycare center I got other things to do Liz."

"I know and I'm sorry, again." I grabbed My daughter and placed her into her carseat and drove off. I hated that I was didn't have a easy consistent schedule but I will never let David know that he already thinks he some kind of super hero in my life. when I got to my apartment I was relived the end of my day was the best part of it. Julianna was sleeping so I would have to carry her. I left my book bag in the car. I grabbed her and headed inside my apartment.

I saw I had two missed calls from David. I sighed I was honestly in no mood for his antics. I was under too much stress. I put My baby to bed and went to bed by myself wondering how my life could have went if I had just did what my gut told me stay home that night. Not go out with him. To late for that kinda thinking

***
I had gotten so many texts from David I blocked him. I couldn't take his obsession. I thought Maybe I should just call and talk this out. But that's just what he wants. We not going to be together... so there's no point to entertain him.

I cant give in, I'm strong.... Ish. Ugh! David's great at word play. He could convince a blind person they could see.

I sat in my apartment drinking wine watching Netflix. Julianna was sleep and I could relax. I was at ease for a good 10 mins till I got a knock on my door. I looked at my clock. 1:13 am

Who In The hell would be knocking on my door this late I tip toed to the door as quietly as I could. When I looked at the peep whole it was David....With flowers what the hell? I open the door. "What are you doing Lewisky?"

He looked sleepy but in a good way. He smiled pulling me into a hug. I froze. Okay...

"Elizabeth I love you. I've always loved you and ill probably spend my life loving you. You drive me crazy but I wouldn't chance a thing about you. Your strong, loyal and caring and the best mother to our child and for that I'm thankful, just give me a chance to be the man you deserve." He handed me the flowers. "Will you be my girl?"

I stood in shock. He had never done a gesture before. "Ah, David what about Rosa?"

"I broke it off." He said sheepishly. I nodded. "So you just broke up with her not knowing if I would even open this door for you to even talk to me."

"I took a leap of faith." He eyes sparkled a bit. I saw the hope and something else on his face. Some things in life you have to let go. Why couldn't he understand that?

"What if this doesn't work or we end up fighting and start hating each other?" I felt the croak growing in my throat.

He took my flowers and placed them outta my hands. "Well never know unless we try."

Internalizing his words, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Truth! What was my truth? What did I want? Am I pushing away the love of my life because I'm scared that I'll ruin the only relationship that mattered to me. Yes, yes and yes.

I open my eyes and I nodded. "Ok."

"Okay?" He asked me With a smile.

"Yes!" I said as he picked me up and spun me around. I tried to be as quite as can be with my daughter sleeping.

"Maybe we should celebrate in my room." I suggest. David nodded following me to my room.
