With the luggage packed and ready, I waited for Harry to come pick me up. He said he would be around my apartment by 6 am since my flight was 7 am.
I can’t believe I was going back to Los Angeles to look for a man I had a one-night stand with and even stole from him, I was actually trending to my path of destruction.
I am definitely going to be arrested and kicked into jail without me explaining to him.
What was I going to tell him? Hello remember me, Rebecca, the girl you had one nightstand with and she stole from you so she can start a life of her own, well news flash I am the b***h and I am pregnant for you. Two weeks in and you are the father of the child.
I laughed out loud as I played the scenario in my head. I will obviously look like a fool in his presence and call a fraud trying to loot money from him and this will actually be my free ticket to jail.
Nothing withstanding the insults I would receive or the jail sentence I would get, I was not planning on letting my baby grow up inside of me without knowing his or her father and his or her father knowing about the child.
Mum got pregnant for my dad out of wedlock and she found him to tell him about the child and they got married and had me, I would have had a little brother or sister by now if death didn’t take my parents away in an accident.
So I was going to do the same, let the father know about the child, I was obviously not looking for someone to marry right now or let alone be a wife, all I need is for the father to sign an agreement and do everything financially possible to take care of me and the child and when the baby is born we can share responsibility with taking care of the baby.
I heard a knock on my door and I knew Harry was outside, I ran to the door to open it for him and give him access to come in.
“Good morning Harry, I trust you had a pleasant nice rest?” I asked him and he smiled
“Good morning, yeah I did, and you?”
“Honestly I didn’t sleep at all, I am just worried about what the father's baby will say,” I told him.
“You don’t even know how to contact him or even sure if he would be at the casino you meant him and you are worried about what he will say,” Harry said raising an eyebrow at me
“He said he is always going there often, so I am sure I will find him there,” I told him
“You know Becks, it’s never too late to consider me as the baby's father. I will be good to both of you” he said.
“I know you will be an excellent father but this baby has a father and I need to at least let him know about it,” I told him.
“Fine, what if he rejects the baby what will you do?” he asked me and I couldn’t give him an answer, technically I knew deep down he would never accept the baby and cast me out but I was willing to try and I haven’t told Harry what I did to him.
“If he does then I will come take care of the baby, you will still give a pregnant woman a job right?” I asked him.
“Of course, yes, you know you are always welcome into my workplace and my heart”, he said, giving me a cheesy smile.
“Thank you, Harry, I don’t know how to thank you enough,” I told him and he smiled at me.
“Are you set?” he asked me and I nodded my head and he helped me with my luggage to this car, placing it at the back seat, I sat at the front and he sat at the driver's seat as he drove off.
We arrived at the airport at exactly 6:40 pm bidding him goodbye I hurried to get everything
When I was done I went to my seat number close to the window and closed my eyes hoping that things would be easy for me.
I was going on a failed journey but it’s better to hear from his mouth than conclude.
‘God please I don’t want to go to jail’ I prayed silently resting my head on the seat and gently closing my eyes to rest a little.
***************************************
We arrived at the airport and I stopped a cab and I headed straight to the hotel close to the casino, thanks to my savings and Harry's help I would have enough to spend to sustain myself.
When I am done telling him I am going to kick that bastard off my home since I am back partially fully.
I booked a room for two nights and bringing out my phone I dialed my ex number.
“Hello” he answered the phone with a sleeping voice
“Hello Zack, I hope you have enjoyed my home a lot. You and your w***e should get the f**k out of my house before I get to meet you” I told him
“Rebecca, Rebecca is that you?” he asked with a surprised voice
“Nah it’s not Rebecca, it’s your worst nightmare. You and your skunk should leave my house, I am back in town” I told him
“Babe calm down let's talk about it, where are you lets see and talk about it”
“We have nothing to talk about Zack, you are my past, and the past is meant to be in the past. Please vacate my house tomorrow, I would love to move in” I told him
“Rebe…..” I ended the call before he could say anything meaningless to me.
I have given them enough time to enjoy my house and have fun in it while I go find myself doing something to earn some money.
If things don’t go well with me Kyle, I would go back to my home and then start from somewhere.
I don’t want to be a bundle to Harry and I am deeply sorry for lying to him about it but it’s my cross to bear and I will handle it myself.
I got undressed and soaked myself in a warm bath. When I was done I slipped into a black gown.
Applying some makeup on my face, I head out to the casino to search for the mystery man, the father of my baby.
