Pregnant and Homeless✔

Chapter 8

Valdo parked his black Mercedes- Benz in the parking lot of Manhattan Mall then he looked across at me and offered a light smile, "Where do you want to go first?"

I shrug, "It doesn't matter." Being homeless taught me not to be picky, and it's not like I know the malls that they have here.

"We can walk around then and stop at the stores one by one," he suggested. We didn't talk during the drive to the mall because he spent his time talking to his assistant, giving him instructions. It gave me time to clear my head and to listen in on his conversation. Since he used the car phone, I heard everything he said to his assistant, whose name was Shawn. They didn't discuss anything confidential just Valdo's schedules and meetings; boring stuff. Too boring to find out if he's really as good as he appears.

"Sounds like a plan." I agreed

He unlocks the doors of the car and we exit. We entered the mall, and the first store I saw was Emporio Baby. I smiled and pointed at it. Valdo smile as well and then we started walking in the direction of the baby store.

"Wow," Valdo said as we entered. "This is baby central."

I nod in agreement. I've never seen so many baby clothes in one place before, and it made me a little excited.

"Is it a girl baby or a boy?"

"Girl," I answered honestly.

"Okay, let's go shopping." he tugged my right elbow and pulled me towards the pink side of the store. We stopped at the first table and started looking at the pullovers. I start looking through the section, and Valdo let out a laugh. I looked at him with a frown then he lifted the shirt he was laughing at it was a white pullover with the prints, 'I was daddy's fastest swimmer.'

I smiled, "Definitely not getting that one."I lift the one in my hands and show him; it said 'How cute am I?'.

He smiled, "You're very cute." I blushed and placed the pullover under my arm and continued looking through the section again. It made me a little sad going through all the pullovers because some of them were saying things like 'Daddy's Princess, Daddy's Angel' and many more daddy chronicles. It made me sad because she'll never know her dad, sorry, that he would abandon me like that. Sad that I didn't realise what a jerk Will was before I had sex with him.

"Hey, look at this one." I lifted my head and looked over at Valdo. He held a white one in his hands that said, "Of course I'm cute, just look at my mommy."

I laughed, "We're getting that one."

"Yes, ma'am." he saluted with a smile. I couldn't help but smile when he did; his smile was so contagious.

I bent my head and continued looking through the baby clothes. I tried to distract myself from the fact that I found Valdo attractive. He was off-limits, and I'm pregnant. I shouldn't have feelings for someone I met three days ago even though he's sexy.

But so are many serial killers.

Stop! He's not a serial killer.

"What are you thinking about?" I jumped at his voice so close behind me. "Sorry."

I turned and looked up into his blue eyes, "Are you okay?"

I nod, "Yea, just thinking about baby clothes." I lied.

He smiled, "Well we're in the right place. You can get anything you want."

I lifted the clothes in my hands and showed him, "I think I have everything I need right here."

He looked down at the tiny clothes in my hands and laughed and shook his head, "No, you'll need plenty more. Babies change about 5-6 times a day. We still haven't gotten nighties, shirts, skirts, pampers, bottles, soothers, etc."
