SHANA
I was really tired last night after Colton went home. After doing my night routine, I was totally knockout from exhaustion. I am so happy that it is weekend and just staying at home, planning to watch Netflix.
I stretched a little then talking to my angel inside my tummy for a moment before going out of my bed and do my morning routine.
It was already 8 in the morning as it was stated in my clock and I am not in a rush but my tummy is growling.
"I know baby you are hungry." I was talking to my baby again time to time. They say it helps them to feel their mother's love. I slowly get up and go straight to the bathroom.
After few minutes, I was wearing in my simple maternity dress for the house. I opened my door and I can smell some delicious foods coming from the kitchen.
My heart was pounding nervously because I am alone in my house and no one knew my pass codes.
I quickly grabbed my baseball bat hidden from the corner and stepped slowly towards the kitchen. I startled when I saw who it was in the kitchen.
"Hi, good morning sleepyhead!" he said smiling wild at me as soon as he saw me slowly walking. "Hungry?"
I blinked, thinking if I was imagining things because Colton was the last person, I saw last night.
"W-what are you doing here? And, how did you get in?" I wondered, looking at him. Yeah, it was really Colton in front of me.
"Are you keep on holding that bat? I am harmless, you know." He did not answer my questions but making jokes on me.
I put down the bat on the counter. "How did you get in? Why are you here anyway?"
"I told you I will be back that means, I will stay here with you." He explained. "Come on, baby, I know you are hungry and it is not good for the baby. Sit." He pointed the chair, feeling at home in my house.
I sighed heavily and sat because truly, I am starving and he was right, it is not good for my baby if I will not eat on time.
I am always hungry now that my tummy is getting bigger. When I set my eyes on the table, I was drooling because he prepared food for me all of them were delicious in my eyes.
I did not waste my time I reached out one of the dishes but he picked it up for me and he put it on my plate. I wanted to protest but I let him be. I was happy inside knowing that he is here with me, and taking care for us.
He really cooked well. All of the foods were yummy and I ate more than I could. I do not worry because it was all healthy.
More fruits and veggies good for the pregnant me, I smiled when I feel my baby is kicking again and left to right at the same time as always.
I watched him clean the table and he did not want me to do the cleaning thing so I still let him be. We will definitely talk after he has done in the kitchen.
Moments later, he wiped his hands that indicate that he finished everything. He faced me and I looked at him.
"Now, can we talk in the living room?" I said then he nodded.
I walked first towards the living room when I stopped at the mirror. I have a big mirror placed on the wall after the kitchen.
I was really panicking looking at myself in the mirror. Colton was behind me witnessing the whole time. 'Oh my gosh!' I was in my own self. Meaning I am not putting shaded thick eyebrows in my usual in disguise whenever I go out. My face was exactly as the same as Zari and Colton saw it when I entered the kitchen.
Turning away from the mirror, as he grabbed me away from there. Walking like a zombie towards the living room. I sat down immediately knowing I might collapse anytime.
'How would I know? I am usually alone here in my own place.' I keep telling myself that. Maybe this is the right moment to talk.
I waited for him to confront me, to mad at me, to shout at me for tricking him being Zari. But my heartbeat was really pounding loud.
Yes, I am afraid right now. I know Colton will not do anything to harm me right? Me and our baby, he will not do the worst scenario. Shaking my head to avoid negative thoughts about the situation right now.
"Now, we really need to talk about everything you kept it from me." I heard him talk. I do not know how to start. He might not like it. "Okay, I do not have time for this silent treatment thing at the moment." He said but I quickly snapped him.
"I-." I said but takes too long to continue. "I-I am sorry." This is really hard facing him in instant. I thought I can do it but why it has to be this way he found me out.
"Tell me Shana everything that you want me to know." Well, the tone of his voice was not mad thankfully but still it is really hard to start at the bottom.
I took a deep breathe while my hands were kind of nervous. I should tell him my family first then how I became Zari that night, so on and so forth.
I should tell him now if this will be the end of career or not. It does not matter anymore because I could not escape today without explanation.
He was there in front of me waiting. "Okay, I will start talking about myself and my family too." He sat down not so far from me for him to listen everything he wants to know.
He was very attentive in everything that came out from my mouth. He let me be do the talking. I guess that was the thing I like him.
