Chereads / My boss, My lover / Chapter 19 - I'm not coming back

Chapter 19 - I'm not coming back

Oh my goodness Jennie it's 6pm already!? Yeah so what, I told you I want to spend the day with you.

Xander would be going crazy with worry

You even turned off your phone.

Yeah I don't want anyone to ruin my happy moment

Xander isn't anybody, he is your husband to be.

Yeah I know he's just too much sometimes

You should at least call him and let him know you're okay Zoe said muting the movie.

Okay fine I will I said picking up my phone.

I turned it on and saw twenty missed call from Xander.

The last one was ten minutes ago. I called him back and it was as if he was waiting for my call

Jennie where the hell are you? I was going crazy with worry!

Hey calm down and let me talk. Okay go ahead? I'm with my bestie

Okay I'll come pick you up right away

No I'm not coming back tonight. What?!! What do you mean you aren't coming back tonight.

I have lot of catching up to do with her and it's almost 7pm.

Jennie are you for real? Yeah I'm dead serious so you're gonna sleep at her place? Yes I am

I don't agree with this you have to come home we haven't finished our discussion

What's there to discuss? I'm not having that conversation with you Xander goodnight I said hanging up.

Zoe was staring at me like I had two head. You're sleeping here? Yes I am

What happened between you guys? It's a long story I said sighing

And that's how I found myself telling Zoe everything.

His Dad is gonna be a problem in the future Zoe concluded. Yes he'll be. I already had a bad feeling about his Dad

But are you sure doing this won't cause any further problem with him

It won't. Okay then if you say so.

What should we have for dinner

Let's eat something light, like pizza or burger okay I'll order it right now, it's such a shame I can't drink alcohol

It'll be here in ten minutes let's continue our movie she said. Nah this movie is boring I wanna watch a romcom

okay as you wish she said switching the chanel.

"But Xander really loves you". I know he do and I love him too.

But his Dad has a problem with me. If only my parents were alive I said looking down sadly. Zoe sighed and hugged me I'm sure they are happy you're doing well

The atmosphere is sad now, don't ruin the happy moment Jennie

Everything will be okay. It surely will be she said reassuringly.

Now we've missed the movie Zoe said resuming the volume

Just then the doorbell rang, oh the delivery guy is here Zoe said skipping to the door like a five year old

"Yeah thanks bye".

Wow it's still hot she said placing it on the table, uhm why did you order two? I wanted mine more spicy and I don't know if spicy food is good for you

Which flavor did you order? Yours is shrimp and mine is pepperoni

Phew I thought mine was pepperoni, where's the drink? I'll go get it

She came back with canned beer and a glass of orange juice with cubes of ice.

You know me too well I said putting the ice in the cups

Of course I do we've been besties for eight years. "I wouldn't have survived my college years if it's not for you".

Yeah I did most of your assignment back then, and you said you'll be the first to get married

Yeah I didn't know you'll get pregnant before me. Well I didn't plan to it just happened

Anyways I'm not ready to be a mother yet I wanna wait till I'm 28

But we're age mate and will be twenty eight by January. This is September already!

Yeah I know I wanna enjoy this three month without anything disfiguring my body, look at you, you don't have that shape anymore

You look like an amoeba. It's only until I give birth once the baby's out I'll regain my former shape

The pizza is getting cold let's dig in she said opening the carton, wow mine looks yummy what about yours? I opened mine too and the smell was heavenly

I took a bite wow this taste like...I don't know how to describe it.

It's an incredible feeling

The ice is melting pour the drink! you're ordering me around in my house? Okay please pour the drink? Fine she said pouring mine first and then hers

Gosh I've missed the taste of alcohol, yeah but you can't drink it

Can I at least take a sip? Not a chance I won't let you harm yourself in my house

Okay fine I said gulping down my orange juice, yeah this also taste good

We finished the pizza in no time and watched TV for a few more hours. Wow I'm still so full and it feels like my stomach is divided into two Zoe said loosing the zip of her trouser.

"It has digested". Yeah another life's growing in you rapidly so it's makes sense if you're still hungry

Let's watch some more, no I wanna sleep it's 10pm already

Oh I didn't check the time let's go sleep.

oh I have a present for you she said smiling.

Wait Zoe how about late night snack?

I'm up for that let's go

I made this cake last week, I don't know why I suddenly have a sweet tooth

She cuts the cake in half and we ate it with strawberry milk "my favorite"

Now where's my present?

" It's in the bedroom"

Okay let's go then.

We went there and she handed me a small bag

What's this? Wow I've never seen this kind of nightwear before, it's so beautiful and it has extra space to fit my bulging belly

Thanks a bunch bestie I said giving her a hug

You're welcome, try it on.

Of course I will I said taking off my clothes

Wow it fits me perfectly I said twirling

Thanks Zoe!

you're welcome she said changing into her nightwear

Let's sleep she said getting into bed.

yeah I'm so exhausted I said fluffing the pillow

Goodnight bestie. Hnmm goodnight I said drifting off
