Naomi
After finding out that he was deaf was humiliating to say the least. At least I know why he never said anything. I was so ecstatic to see him again that it didn't matter that he didn't speak to me. I enjoyed his company either way it was better than someone who reeked of alcohol.
.
I had to get some fresh air after the news everything was all so confusing. Everything about him seemed wrong from him telling me that he's not deaf, to understanding sign language. The way he spoke to me seemed to wake something up inside me.
I didn't need an explanation he wasn't my man just someone I danced for that paid good money.
After getting air I couldn't stand to be there anymore so I left. I went home and took a nice long hot bath.

The next week was so busy Peter worked me like a dog so much so I couldn't make it to the club. I was so tired that I was getting sick. Another late night at the office and I couldn't wait to get home and get in the tub. I heard as I was leaving that the big boss was coming in soon. I guess that's why everyone was on edge. I didn't care as long as I got paid.
I made it home thirty minutes later and was surprised that Kim was there.
"Hey, I thought you had to work tonight" I said giving her a hug.
"Hey, I did I had to call off I'm tired. You haven't been there all week and Darrell said don't bother coming in" she said
"well damn"
"girl you know you'd call off in a heartbeat"
"I'm glad I have enough money saved up now that I don't need the club. I'm fine where I am plus the hours picked up"
"Damn b***h how much did he leave you. You bought a car, gave me some money, filled the entire fridge" she said smacking my arm laughing
"A shitty car"
"A car nonetheless" she mentioned
"I don't know I quit count after fifty"
"Fifty what"
"Stacks"
Kim got up screaming and hollering jumping up and down.
"I also paid the rent up until the end" I said getting up
"Thank you so much" she said hugging me
"No thank the stranger who I just found out was deaf" I said sitting down sadly
Kim gasped and said "WHAT, he deaf, now you know why he didn't speak. Damn he couldn't stop you and say he couldn't hear you"
"nope not once, well things were a little heated so I'm sure anyone could have slipped"
"No, that's some serious s**t to mention. Not to mention he has been at the club everyday since looking for you. Girls offered him dances and trips to the back room but he didn't budge not once"
"I can't see myself with him or messig with someone like him. He's rich, good looking and the people in his world are probably snotty and look down on people like me. So I'm sure it would never work out" I said as I headed to the back to run my bath
"Well I'll take him if you don't want him" she yelled
I shut the door ran my bath water and just sat on the toilet staring at the pregnancy test I just bought. Its been about a month but I know my friend should have come by now. I was good at tracking it and it seemed off. I just hoped it was late for my sake.

Another long week passed and I was stressing like nobody's business. Peter was working me well until midnight and his insults picked up as well. Not to mention the test I took came back positive. I didn't know what to do and I especially didn't tell Kim. As I'm not sure what I'm going to do. The first time I let someone take me in the red room I end of pregnant. Good going Naomi and I have no clue who this man is.
I couldn't think anymore about it so I rushed home ate something, picked out my clothes for the next day, and jumped into the shower. I was dead tired and wanted....no needed some rest.

I woke up sick as ever the next day and was late to work. Peter gave it to me as soon as I entered. I just dealt with his insults as they would soon be over. Afterwards he had a boat load of work for me that I got done in between my bathroom breaks.
I thought a lot about my situation and I was not ready for a baby especially with a man I didn't know. So I made an appointment to do what I needed to do.
My appointment was set a few weeks later, and I was glad for it because it seemed like this pregnancy was going fast. It also seemed like I was starting to show unless my mind is playing tricks on me.
The day was coming to an end I'd hoped, but Peter threw another stack at me.
"Shred it and make it quick. I don't want you to move from this spot until it's done"he said
I sat there for at least twenty minutes before I needed to go back to the bathroom. While Peter wasn't looking I darted for the bathroom. Ten minutes later and I was walking out the bathroom as I heard Peter yelling for coffee and a water.
Now he wants coffee, every cup that I brought him today was left to the cold. I rushed as fast as I could to get the coffee and make sure I didn't spill any. As I made my way to his office this wonderful smell of man sweat and rain hit my nose. I kept my head down at I entered his office sure not to look at either of them or he'd have my head for that.
I apologized for being sick and not at my desk, but Peter was Peter and it didn't matter who sat in his office.
"No excuses, now get out and wait for my call" he said
A familiar voice boomed out
"Don't ever speak to her like that again" the fine ass man from the club said to him
I froze as I stood there looking from him to a scared Peter. As soon as I came to my senses I darted out of there. I was not ready to see him at all especially in the state I was in.
I grabbed my purse and headed for the stairs. We were up high but I didn't mind one bit I needed the exercise.
I didn't know how fast I was going until I looked up and I was in the basement which was the parking garage.
The coast was clear as I made my way to my car and started it up. I gasped a sigh of relief with my hands in my face. I put the car in gear and as soon as I was about to take off I saw him. He was standing right in front of my car.
"Put the car in gear and turn it off" he said
Fuck, I was caught I couldn't go back and I certainly couldn't run him over.
As I put the car in gear and turned it off he was at my door opening it in lighten speed. He helped me out of the car and into a big nice fancy one.
He was next to me before I could try the door handle. I didn't know what it was but something about him scared me.
Twenty minutes later we arrived at a cafe that was on the out skirts of town. I've been here multiple times with my friends.
Arriving here really made my mind up about him and this pregnancy.
