Everything Has Changed

Lame excuses

I had been awake for almost 10 minutes, but I couldn't get up because I was feeling dizzy and nauseous, morning sickness is a bitch the fact is I was never physically sick in the mornings I would just feel very dizzy and nauseous but during the day that's when it got bad (so why did they call it morning sickness when happens any time of the day).

After I had gotten myself ready and presentable for work, I made my way downstairs to get some breakfast and feed Jack the newest addition to our growing family a west highland white terrier. I knew Monica had left early this morning because she had a big case to work on so I would be taking Titan to puppy daycare. The one thing I hated the most about living in L. A. was the traffic; I had an appointment in Santa Monica this morning and I had left early, but I was still stuck in a huge pile-up on Interstate 10.

This month was big for me because our producer was on vacation so I was taking up his responsibilities and if I did an excellent job, it would mean I could become a full-time producer for my show so I couldn't screw it up. I was meeting with the finance department of the production team to go over the budget for the episode we were shooting for the week. After finalising all the details for that week, I headed back to the head office in L. A for a table read with the cast and directors.

After the table read I and a few cast members drove to my condo to hang out for the night. "Come on in guys and make yourselves comfortable, ill order so food. What do you guys want?" I asked everyone. Everyone screamed what they wanted at the same time. "Ok guys! Ill orders a couple of different things so everyone has a little of what they want."

"Hey, BITCHES!!! I see you started the party without me" Monica walked in with her loud ass mouth and right behind her was my, baby Titan

"Monica, why are you like this, get your ass here and meet everyone?" I told her "This is my cousin Monica, Monica this is everyone" Monica went around introducing herself and getting the names of all the people there when she got to Ari, she gave her a big hug. With that, the doorbell rang, and Titus started barking with excitement. "I guess the food is here I'll get it."

I opened the door without looking at the peephole. "How mu –"

"– Hi princess, it's been a while" the words had come from a male voice she recognised all too well and with that, she slammed the door in his face. After a few seconds, she came to her senses and opened the door again.

"Wha –, What are you doing here?" I asked shocked

"Aren't you going to let me in?" he asked with a smirk

I opened the door to let him in, I was so confused how the hell did he know I was in the country and how did he know where I live. Everyone was too busy having fun to notice that I was having one of the worst moments of my life. Before he could say another word, the doorbell rang again this time, I was sure it was the food delivery and I was right, I opened the door and gave the guy the money.

"Do you need help with that" pointing to the delivery

"Erm....... Sure, just through there, I have a few friends over "I warned him

I closed my eyes and took a few deep breaths because I knew this would be hell for me and I had the feeling that Monica would make it 100 times worse. When we walked in everyone was still too busy talking to even notice our presence in the room.

"Food is here guys," I told everyone "And this is Declan," I told them with double meaning for the people that knew what was going on.

"Hi Declan"

"Thank you!!" They all replied in unison.

I put the food on the table and led Declan to my room because I knew he wanted to talk but I still wasn't going to tell him anything today because it was not the place or time, all these people do not need to know my business.
