Kelsea’s POV~
“What?”, her eyes magnified wide and I let out a deep sigh. I don't know how long I was pouring my heart out to her, I just told her everything that happened today without missing out on any details. She gave me quick tips on how to keep my stupid mouth. Even though I know I won’t be able to shut my mouth, I just agreed to her quick patience session.
The next few days went pretty normal. Shane gave me time to study his work schedules and other important clients of Bookers. Elijah didn’t visit that often, we just met once or twice after that and it was pretty normal. He was cool and easy-going, unlike his strict brother. Let’s not forget that he is a popular playboy who flirts with all the gilts in our office, including ME, but it was okay.
Finally, the most awaited weekend has arrived and it’s the only time I get to rest for some time. Very importantly, I have an appointment with my doctor today evening and I’m pretty nervous and sad at the same time. It’s my first check-up with my doctor after testing my pregnancy. I couldn’t explain exactly how I felt but I have this missing feeling in me. A part of me still wishes Tristan to come back to me, apologize for what he did, and accompany me to our baby’s doctor’s appointment. My brain knows it’s never gonna happen but my poor heart still hopes, maybe one day…
“Are you ready, Si? Be quick lazy ass!!”, I heard Skyla yelling. I fixed my hair and touched up my makeup really quick and it was time for the appointment. I paused in front of my mirror and I slowly touched my tummy with my chilled hands. Hi, baby! How are you doing? I asked the tiny one in me and without even realizing I found myself smiling like an i***t. This feeling was clearly new and inexperienced for me… Feeling alive inside is so special and I’m actually happy to be blessed with such a feeling and I’m cursed at the same time to do this alone… I removed the tiny bit of tear from my lashes, heaving a deep sigh. I just hope everything goes well. Grabbing my purse and phone, I head out of my room.
After 30 minutes of drive, we both reached the hospital. In the hospital room, the doctor walked inside as I was asked to lay on the bed for a scan. It was the regular first semester of pregnancy check-ups. Doctor Mia smiled at me as she took quick images of my baby in my tummy. “Look there, Miss Kelsea”, she pointed at the projector. My eyes quickly turned to the screen and I felt my eyes filling with water. I couldn’t explain the happiness I had in myself now. I looked at the little creature moving on the screen without blinking my eyes. No words came out of my mouth. I stared at the screen for only God knows how long. Tears flowed from my eyes no stop. If only, Tristan was with me… if only the situation was different… If only I was able to see the same screen with my baby’s father by my side. A painful gasp escaped my mouth and I shut my eyes tight to clear my killing thoughts about Tristan. Skyla held my hand tight as she assured me with a nod. Soon, doctor Mia gave me a nutrition chart and a few medications for my energy and vitamin levels. Thank god everything was normal. The weekend came to an end in a blink of an eye. All I did was eat, sleep and repeat. It was so refreshing and relieving. And as always, good times move quickly and it was Monday already. I hate the sound of it, who likes Monday?
I somehow managed to drag my lazy ass out of my bed aka the real heaven, got ready pretty quick, and left for work. As usual, I got him his regular coffee and left it on his table. Mondays are always a pain in the ass. “Ugh, he has a lot of meetings today”, I sighed and took a note of everything on my tablet. “Okay, lemme just collect these docs from the doc room and everything is done”, I let out a deep breath as I left my tablet on the table. When I was about to walk to the documents room, I was stopped by the same powerful voice that keeps me ruling without any damn effort. “Kelsea, a minute”. I turned to face Shane who was standing there, leaning on the wall with his arms crossed close to his chest. He looked totally hot and breathtaking today in those blue suits. Damn, this man is killing me with his looks. Kelsea, concentrate. I waved my dirty thoughts away as I nodded at him, “Yes, sir?”. “Tomorrow is the Gala, I just hope you remember. Be ready by 6 sharp and I’ll pick you up.”, he informed me and walked inside his office room without even bothering to hear my reply. Arrogant i***t! There is no wonder when everyone says he is a rude boss. I don’t know how his family is coping with his attitude. i***t!
Third POV~
“What’s with the serious faces?”, a man asked as he walked inside the room. “Leader, we have got an invitation for a Gala Event…”, another man who answered, dragged his words hesitantly. “From whom?”, he asked. “Bookers! The Bookers Annual Gala is tomorrow…”, the man answered as he paused for a minute. “So what’s the deal in this?”, the man asked with his loud and powerful voice, looking at the other man. He sighed at him, “Will you be attending it?”, he asked him. “Of course, it won’t be that bad to visit our old friend, right… plus I have my own reasons to attend the Gala…”, he said and his lips quickly curved into a smirk.
