LAST HEART

XXI

Amor knelt over the toilet with half her face in the bowl, thinking how tired she was of this pregnancy and it's anytime morning sickness which lasted way after her three months. She closed the toilet seat and flushed it before sitting on it and brushing her teeth while seated. There was a knock on the door just as she finished brushing her teeth.

' Hey, boss lady. How are you feeling?'

Her friend Busi asked seeing the state she was in.

' Like hell.'

' I can see.'

Amor frowned and burst into tears. Busi crouched down to her level and wiped her tears away while telling her she was the most beautiful pregnant woman in the world.

' You're lying I look a mess and as fat as an elephant. No an elephant is better, I am bigger than that.'

' Amor don't be silly, you've always been this size.'

' So I've always been a whale.'

Busi stood not knowing what to do. The more she tried to calm her down the more she cried. She tried to get a hold of her husband but he was in meetings all day and none of the staff could calm her down.

' Hey, hey princess. What's wrong?'

Robert walked in and knelt infront of her to console her but the time she quieted down. Her employees were back at work. Busi stayed with them because she wanted to make certain that her friend was fine and she also wanted to know who the fine stranger was. That managed to calm her down.

' Feeling better?'

Robert asked

' Yes. Thanks guys, I don't know what came over me.'

'It's okay him. It's normal for someone in your condition.'

Busi said fixing her hair.

' I'm just so tired of being pregnant and the morning sickness. Caleb is so busy with work, he doesn't have much time to be there for me like he promised.'

Feeling emotional again she pressed her tongue in the roof of her mouth. She looked up at her friend when she felt calmer and noticed the questioning look on her face and her starring at them holding hands and quickly remove her hand from his.

' Busi this is Robert, Robert Busi.'

She said introducing them to each other.

' With that intro, I know you've probably heard a lot about me.'

' I wouldn't says lot but yes I know about you.'

Busi sneered at him. Hehadhjs hand held out for her but she just starred stir in disgust before turning to her friend.

' I think you should call Caleb to take you home. You cannot stay here while you're not feeling well.'

' No need to do that I can take her home.'

Robert interrupted

' I think her husband should take her home. Thank you but no thanks. We don't want to trouble or inconvenience you. I'm sure you're a busy man. '

Busi faked a smile which he reciprocated.

' Oh no I'm never too busy for an old friend. It would be a pleasure to help. Plus I heard you mention that you couldn't get a hold of him earlier.

Amor squashed the arguments before it when any further and allowed him to take her home.
