Eleven

“Antonio Gordon!” Emily exclaimed, “I still can’t believe you slept with Antonio Gordon. You have to tell him about the baby now.”

“Why?” Amy asked she wasn’t as impressed as Emily was.

“Why? She asks me why? Because he’s rich, handsome and sexy, did I mention sexy?” Emily said clearly enjoying herself now.

“Should I tell Spencer?” Amy said.

“Oh please do. Window shopping is not buying. I am allowed to admire aren’t I? Anyway he’s obviously yours and I love dear Spenser. But on a serious note you need to tell Antonio for the sake of the baby, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to deprive your child of the best things in life and your baby’s Daddy can definitely afford that.”

“I can afford it too Emily.”

“Not the kind that the Gordon’s can afford and anyway remember what the doctor said. This is going to be hard for you; you need all the help you can get.”

Amelia realised she will have to go easy on the designs, maybe she will postpone launching the clothing line and just finish off the orders she already had.  She knew she will manage somehow, the scariest thing right now was telling Antonio. She just couldn’t. Both pride and fear where telling her not to tell him, it was her baby, she didn’t have to cope with a man who never cared for her.

“He needs to know Amy. If you don’t tell him I will.” Emily knew her friend to the dot. She knew that left to her own devices she wouldn’t tell anyone about the pregnancy.

“You wouldn’t dare Emily, but anyway I will tell him myself but just give me time.”

“One week then.”

“A week?  Are you crazy, let’s say two months?”

“News flash, in two months’ time your belly will probably be showing then. You do remember you have a life growing inside you don’t you?”

“Ok two months is too much, let’s say a month then.”

“Ok a month, but if you don’t tell him by then I will be happy to drop by his office on your behalf, maybe squeeze his balls for being a total bastard and then drop the bombshell on his unsuspecting sexy head. The offer still stands if you want me do to it now.”

“No thanks, I would rather prefer my own methods there are less violent.” Amelia said laughing; she had no doubt that Emily could do it. Emily has always looked after her, she had once bitten a chuck out of a guy who Amy had been dating and had cheated on her.

“Well look at what your less violent ways have gotten you into?” Emily pointed out.

“I may regret a lot of things in my life but that I won’t regret.” Amelia said wistfully.

“So tell me is it true what they say about him?”

“And what may that be?”

“That he has an instrument the size of a…”

“Instrument really Em? You sound like a science teacher.”

“You know what I mean, is it true that it’s magnificent.”

“Where did you hear that? And anyway I don’t kiss and tell.” Amelia was surprised that she was angry. She had always known that Antonio was a playboy but to know that that part of his anatomy that had brought her so much pleasure was headline news was annoying. “I’m going home now Emily thanks for everything will see you tomorrow.” Amelia said picking up her handbag to leave.
