It's already been a week since I caught Richard cheating. I only cried for that night , I can't be stressing too much. I want my baby to be ok. Velina has been by my side at all times checking in. Yadira calls maybe three times a day. Yashua sends me texts here and there.
" So when are you going to tell Mami y Papi?" Velina asked referring to my pregnancy.
" I don't know but , not yet." I said " now doesn't seem the best time to do so."
" don't you have an appointment today ?" She asked
" no it's tomorrow , so I'd have to drive over there and come back." I replied
" you may need to get more clothes" Velina added and I sighed.
I don't want to see him.
After spending two hours on the couch the door bell rung. Who could it be ? Everyone in this house has a key. I opened the door and saw Joel.
" Hey." He softly said with a smile
" should've warned me you were coming , I look all messy." I added
" Oh please , you look fine." He said and I motioned him to come in.
" How did you find my house ?" I asked
" A little birdie gave me the address." He said
Yadira was that little birdie.
" But , how are you?" He asked looking into my eyes.
" I stopped the crying because this whole thing isn't worth my tears. Plus , my little baby." I said rubbing my stomach. He then placed his hand on top of mine and smiled.
" I know you don't want to talk about this now but , just to get the topic out of the way. What will you do about Richard?" He asked
" I don't want to see him. That's all I can say for now." I replied
" Neither do I." He said agreeing
" What happened when I left ?"
" I told him two or three words and I left." He admitted
I felt my eyes getting watery and tears began to fall.
" hey, shh shh don't cry." He said pulling me into his chest. " you said it yourself it's not worth your tears."
" Your right ." I said wiping my tears.
" Now let's do something fun." He said taking off his jacket.
" We can bake cupcakes , I haven't done that in a minute." I suggested.
" Let's go." He said and we walked to the kitchen.
I began to take out all the ingredients. Joel began to set up his phone.
" What are you doing ?" I asked
" I'm going to record this moment , you teaching me to make cupcakes." He smiled
" okay so now I want you to pour in the flour." I instructed him.
That was a big mistake. We were both as white as ghost.
" oops." Joel said facing me. I then erupted in laughter. I haven't laughed in a week.
" You ... look ... like ... a ghost." I said in between laughs and he smiled.
After laughing here and there , the cupcakes were finally in the oven.
