Stuck At Default

ARE YOU PREGNANT

I was just back from the gym when I saw Liv in the kitchen, making eggs.

"Hey Liv, good morning." I said.

"Morning Mia. Want some eggs.?" She asked.

"Yeah sure. Where's Alex.?" I asked her, sitting at the kitchen island.

"He already left for work." She said, handing me a plate of eggs and sausage.

"This early.?" I asked again.

"Yeah, something urgent he said. Btw, how was your date yesterday.?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows at me.

"It was good. We ate, we talked, a lot." I said.

"That's it.?" She asked, shocked.

"Yeah, it was our first date. What more was I supposed to do." I said sarcastically.

"Yeah right." She too grabbed a plate and started eating herself.

"Umm, Mia I wanted to talk to you about something." Liv said, sounding unsure.

"Are you pregnant. That's why I always tell you to be safe." I said, sitting up straighter.

"No, no. I'm not pregnant. It's just, Alex is acting a bit weird lately. Like either he is super romantic or super distant. There's no in between." Liv voiced her concern.

"He must be having tough days at work. Men tend to do that under pressure. Or he could be PMSing." I offered.

"I don't think its work. It's something else." Liv chuckled and replied.

"Then maybe........maybe, he is about to propose you." I said, this time happily.

"No, no. How can he ask me to marry him that suddenly." Liv was so damn unsecure.

"Why can't he? You both have been dating for almost 2 years now. And he definitely loves you." I tried to reason with her.

"One year seven months. But whatever, I really don't think he is about to propose me." She said again.

"Men are those beings whom we can never understand fully. We never know what's going inside that thick head of theirs." I said, trying again.

"Really. If he does by any chance propose me, I'm gonna be so happy." Her voice cracked a bit.

"Hey, don't cry. It's gonna be alright. But if he does anything to hurt you, he'll have me to answer to. No one hurts my bestfriend and lives." I said confidently, she chuckled.

She got up from her seat and hugged me tightly.

"I don't know what I would've done without you. You've done so much for me. I love you so much Mia." She said, hugging me tighter.

"I love you too." I said and kissed the side of her head.

"I took today off from work, so I'll be home all day. But I think you should hurry." She said, pushing me towards my room.

I just went with the push and off to my room. I quickly got a shower and dressed up in tight black jeans and baby pink silk blouse. I did my makeup quickly and put my hair in a sleek ponytail. I put on my stiletto heels and walked out of my room.

Liv was nowhere to be seen. Maybe she was in the bathroom. I just grabbed my keys and walked out of the apartment.

As soon as I was in my office, I decided to visit the kitchen even before checking whether Trevor was even in his office or not. I had totally skipped coffee in the morning today and I needed caffeine in my system.

I was just adding some half-n-half to my coffee when a hand snaked across my waist and I spilled it on the counter.

"Good morning beautiful." Trevor whispered in my ear, pressing a kiss there.
