I Was Pregnant Yesterday

He ghosted me.

Today was Monday and I was so tired I didn't sleep a wink last night.
Just thinking about the events of last night makes me clamp my thighs together.

The Office was your usual stuff papers,balancing financial sheets,coffee and more coffee.

I was currently smiling like an idiot behind the screen of my computer.
I couldn't help it my mind kept drifting to the events of last night.

I left him asleep this morning in my apartment.I've never felt so safe in a man's arms since my dad died.
His embrace was warm and comfortable.

He hasn't called me which is kind of sad but I'm not desperate am I?.Ohh Wait! Don't tell me I was his one nightstand,was I!?
I feel so stupid.What was I thinking? As the hour for lunch rolled by without me noticing busy drowning in my work and thoughts,Calvin knocked at my door.

"Hey...lunch started 10 minutes ago."

"Yeah I'll meet you downstairs."I smiled back at him shutting my computer off.

Today I was wearing my black jeans,white shirt and white tekkies.
My hair was gelled back to a high bun.

Here it wasn't your typical office of pencil skirts and suits.We had created a relaxed environment,our own little family where one can dress as they like,report when working from home and no shorts or revealing clothing which I personally think was directed to us ladies rather than both genders but I'm cool with it.

We had our reporters coming in and out with stories to be aired some live others recorded.

I was based in Finance and Marketing which I pretty much loved and enjoyed doing,selling my ideas to the people.

We have been friends with Calvin three years now, back when I started working here.

"Someone is happy and glowing." He said taking a sip from his lemon juice.

"Well let's just say I'm happy with my life." I said chewing on my pork ribs and green salad.

"Life,in general or in the bedroom?"
Did I mention Calvin was the noisiest gay friend ever.

"Well Cal,lets just say a lot happened my friend that you don't wanna know about."

"Ohh dear friend try me."The conversation carried on smoothly,Calvin throwing sex advise all over my unexperienced face which he didn't need to know about.

Once lunch was finished we made our way back to the building.
The hours went slow after lunch I couldn't wait to get to my place and rest.

I'm lying I know a piece of me wants to see Zack.I'm hoping he is still there when I get home.
Once it was time for me to leave I passed by Calvin's office.

"Hey buddy,I'm calling it a day."

"Take care darling see you tomorrow."
With that I made my way to my car in the parking lot on the ground floor.

Once I was inside my phone rang.An unknown caller.

"Hello" I answered.

"Hey beautiful." Zack's voice sounded like a sweet melody in my ears.

"I didn't think you were the sweet name calling type."

"There is a lot you don't know about me honey."he chuckled.

"I'm glad to know you find me amusing."

"Well I was wondering if you can come to my parents house tomorrow."

Deciding to mess with him.
"So soon it hasn't been even a day."

"Funny,I'm serious thou with all the funeral arrangements going on I could use your help.You keep me sane and distracted." With that his voice changed from playing to I don't know what exactly.

I know he didn't just say distracted! Who the hell did he think he is!? I'm not just some girl that's going to be his distraction until he sorts himself out and bounces off to the next ass.
He has another thing coming.

"You're quite I don't like it when you're quite.Did I say something wrong?" He asked

I must have spaced out for a bit over there.

"Amanda are you still there? Hello?"

"Yeah sure."

"So tomorrow we're doing this?"

"Yeah."

"What's wrong did I say something wrong?"

Deciding to just let it go for now I lied.
"Nope,Will I be seeing you tonight?"

"Unfortunately you won't ..."
Before he could finish I spaced out I can't believe this he is really ghosting me.Did he know he was my first!?
I swear I'm going to kill him.

I ended the call not caring if he was still talking or not. Deciding to call Charlie she picked up after the first ring.

"I swear girl you can sense my mood,Can I take you to the airport?"

"Wassup Girlfriend?"

"He ghosted me."

"Who?"

"Zack."

"Ohhh my God What! You gave it to him?"

"Kinda...he was sad and we were sort of tipsy or drunk I don't know but my hormones were all over the place and I just..just...and I just went with the flow."

"I'm coming over."

"I'm still at the office ,I can come pick you up I was leaving anyway.Aren't you leaving today or something? "

"There's a lot we need to talk about pick me up then we can go for dinner,How is that?"

"Perfect I'll be there in 30min."

Turns out Charlie quit her job in New York and finally decided to follow her childhood dream of becoming a journalist with her qualification in journalism she obtained studying part time which was easy for her so she says as it was something she was passionate about.

Her parents are not too sure about her decision because apparently the job of journalism pays far too less to what Charlie was currently making in the shipping Company she worked at.

"Yes friend,I need to have a big story so I can put my name out there I have three interviews for this week already." Char said excitingly sitting down coming from the restroom,we have been here at Mrs September's diner for 2 hours already catching up and giving ourselves advice with a couple of cocktails.
