Who says fake marriage among two best friends could be easy ? When there are temptations between them and now they've fall , there could be possibility that they won't see themselves in that light again. Since the night of their mind blowing sex three months ago things haven't been easy.
Braxton would want to work and when he isn't working he wants to either spend his time with his brother or take the week off to go somewhere orabelle don't even know while orabelle who had respect the fact he wants this space has decided to be committed in the company running it an had recently decided to start writing a new story. She had decided to put her efforts in doing something profitable to her.
Those assholes in the company has seen her importance in the company and have decided to make her the managing Director . But orabelle Don't want the position for herself so she asked her mother to take it . But Tina had refused she said she would rather stay home and paint . Uh..... How could she forget that her mom is now so obsessed with painting?
During her free time she love to hangout with her mother or Jamila who had now become heavily pregnant and good for her , she's got Alec to love her . That guy is all over her , she had seen the way he holds,stare and talk to her tenderly . She instantly realize maybe she wants more , a man to love and be loved a man she can laugh, joke, fight , and still com back loving. As she thought of that her mind keeping going back to Braxton. She wanted to sort things out with him but he had make it clear he wanted his distance , he had moved out of their room and he even scarely show himself in the house.
Urghhhhh.... Maybe this love of a thing is not as easy as they say . She shouldn't have had sex with him because he had warned her earlier. He had know these things would happen and he had tried to avoid it didn't he tell her he's afraid to see her in the light he saw other women? Maybe he's beginning to see her in that light but you know what? She decided not to change despite all the happening around her , yeah she's married and she need to look sexy but my God she's used to dressing so simple... So tomboyish. Braxton had also asked her not to change hadn't he? the she's not going to change for any damn reason.
At work she made herself a few frenemies who would act like her friends but are really not . But she kept them around her and treats them nicely that they thought she's a fool but she isn't. One good thing has come out from it they spill secrets and they teach her technique on how things was been done before her arrival unknowing to them . She was atleast was able to know who would have sent her mom to the phase of bankruptcy but she wouldn't act now no she wouldn't. She needs to know more because the slow movement of a tiger towards his prey is not cowardice but a calculated accuracy so they say.
Anyway she has been careful for it not to weigh down her mental health . She has been sick for a few days now as her mother has been to worry because she had lost a lot of weight and is now very pale . She had spent most of her days in the bed very down with fever . She's so weak that she could barely move out of the bed and right now she needs help she don't want to call Braxton for help because he had recently travelled to Dubai for a summit and her mom had her two months taken a vacation few days to South Korea and with these people gone get only option is Jamila. But now the problem is that she left the phone downstairs on the sofa and she can't move not to talk of going down. If she had paid more attention to herself when it had started six days ago it wouldn't have escalated to this she knows that. She stayed on the bed hopeless and helpless. She closed her eyes drifting to an uneasy sleep , feeling nothing but severely sick with her hot breathe fannig her skin
Well not until two hours later when she felt someone washing her body with a cold towel she turned to see Braxton squeezing the towel to rub her body. She wanted to protest on why he took off her clothes and left her vulnerable and exposed to his sight but her throat hurt so bad as he wanted to put the towel on her again she held his had and shook her head slowly.
"I am sorry belle but you were burning when I came in" He said so worried about her that it touch her deeply that it awoken the love she has work so hard to bury down for him . He looked tired but still dressed in his suit, which means he just returned.
"I'd call the doctor he would be here any minute" she tried to say thank you but her throat couldn't allow it but he understood what she was trying to say an soften a bit for her. Just then the doctor came in . It was a woman in her sixties she seems so serious , looking down at them with through her glasses . When she spoke belle knew she was either born or grew up in Jamaica she knows this because she was white and Jamaicans are normally blacks. After the checking her using all the methods and tools best known to doctors like her she turned to Braxton .
"She's going to be fine , all she needs is to take her drugs prescribed here and also the good news is..... She almost want to complete her statement when Braxton phone ranged and he excused him self to take the calls . Belle used the moment to ask her in a weak voice what the news was
"You're pregnant ma'am" she said although not smiling like normal doctors but at the mention of pregnancy Belle immediately sat up and held the woman's hand.
", Don't tell my husband please. " She pleaded desperately she wouldn't want Braxton turning cold again because of the pregnancy
The woman stared at her although not in a judgemental expression. But as if she understood the woman's unspoken words
"I wouldn't but he would be happy to know he has a baby I can assure that . " She said and left.
After the call Braxton entered and sat beside her bed.
"What did she say" He asked looking at her tenderly . Like the way Alec had always look at Jamila , like the way she had seen actors do in romantic movies somehow she wanted to cry well she did let a tear fall
"She said I would recover in few days if I get to eat more and take the prescribed drugs" she felt scared to tell Braxton the consequences of their wild night three months ago has resulted to a nine months journey to Parenthood. He might grow distant again and she had missed her best friend so much for her to allow it happen .
He kissed her head and patted her hair
"I'll make dinner" He said and left.
