Lorraine.

"I'm sorry." He said pulling away. "Don't be." We got off of the floor and I sat awkwardly on the couch. "I didn't m --"

"Its okay, Chres. Lets just not speak of it." I said trying to avoid it. "You can't run away from your problems."

"I wouldn't say this is a problem, Lorenzo just doesn't want to believe me."

"Do what you feel is right." I thought what he said, and let it sink in. I felt like I should leave, but I thought about what would be best for me and Lorenzo's baby. "I want to leave, but it would be wrong if I kept Lorenzo's first child from him."

"That's true." He walked to the couch and sat next to me, "don't worry, I'm not going to do anything."

"It's okay." We both sat quiet and awkwardly. "Maybe you should go talk to Lorenzo, I bet you he's devastated." I scoffed and shook my head. "I do not want to even sit in the same room with that bastard."

"No need for name calling." Speaking of Lorenzo, my phone had lit up and appeared his name. "Answer it." I shook my head no, only before Chresanto snatched my phone and answered it. I quickly ran upstairs into Chresanto's bedroom, seeing Bri asleep on the bed. I quietly shut the door, trying not wake her up.

I sat on the bed slowly, only to wake her up. "You're a light sleeper." She sat up and crawled to me and satcinbmy lap. "Where's daddy?"

"He's downstairs," I said to her before she went to sleep. I laid her back in bed, and looked around Chresanto bedroom, considering I have never been in it. I looked on his dresser, seeing several pictures of him and some female. I was assuming it was Bri's mother, they look just alike. I heard the door shut, seeing Chresanto had just walked in. "What are you doing?"

"Is this Bri's mother?" I asked holding up one of the pictures of them. I watched his face dropped at the picture, he looked sad and I thought it was just sensitive subject. I placed the frame back in it place, changing the subject.

"What did Lorenzo want?" I asked sitting on the edge of the bed. "He asked about you, he wanted to apologize."

"For what?"

"I had reminded him about the night y'all got engaged, and I guess that's what made him realize. Speaking of engagement, are yall still engaged?"

I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my shoes, "It's going to be awkward at work tomorrow." Chresanto said, making me laugh. That I stayed with Chresanto, I didn't want to go home that night.

The next morning I had went home to shower and get dressed, and leave for work. When I walked into the building, I saw Elijah walking by, He waved and I politely smiled at him. I quickly walked into my office, trying not let Lorenzo see me. I sat in my chair, hearing my office phone ring. I looked at it, seeing Lorenzo was calling. I pressed the declined button, and slowly walked to his office. He walked back and forth, as if he was worried about something. He looked up, and quickly walked up to me. He tried to hug me, but I stepped back. "I'm sorry."

I nodded my head, waiting for him to continue. "I'm sorry that I didn't believe you."

"What do you need me to do?" I asked trying to change the subject, I came to work, not hear his apologies. "I need you to forgive me." He said walking closer. "This isn't the time, Lorenzo." I backed up into the wall, and he pressed his body against mine. "I'm so sorry, Lorraine."

I tried to push him off of me, but he just wouldn't move. "Lorenzo, move."

"Lorraine, please, I'm sorry. Please forgive me." He cried. I managed to push him off of me, and walked back to my office.

Boring... blah. Next chapter coming soon.
