“Let’s confirm it first, I don’t want to get hopes up and then crash it into the mud, he might not even want a baby”
“You don’t know that”
“He’s busy all the time and he hasn’t talked about any interest in any kid”
“You don’t want this baby, do you?” She asked me.
I didn’t have answer.
I was too young to be carrying a baby, my uncle’s baby. Dear god, look at what this forbidden relationship has put me into.
“I know what you’re thinking but he’s not your uncle ” Klyee said.
“I’ll get into the shower. Please don’t tell him”
“If he finds out I’m keeping something like this from him, he’ll go crazy on me and I’ll loose my job, I can’t loose my job”
We stood there for ten full seconds without talking.
“Okay, I’ll keep my mouth shut”
“Thank you”
She left and I quickly showered and got dressed.
When I got out, Christian was working on his laptop.
“Hey…” He said closing the laptop immediately I walked out of the door.
I gave him a soft kiss on his lips.
“Come let’s dry your hair” he said standing up.
“Uh, I don’t have time. Kaylee and I are going out now. A small towel would do the trick” I said going to grab a towel from bathroom.
“Are you alright?” He asked with concern.
Gosh, nothing gets by him.
“Of course. I’m fine”
I dried my hair and got out.
Kylee came to met me, she was standing in the bedroom door, she had changed into a jean trousers and a crop top, she looked as if she was eighteen.
“Where are you guys going?” Christian finally asked us.
Kaylee turned to me.
“To see a personal trainer” I blurted out without thinking.
“Who?”
“A uhm… A fitness ___ look, we’ll be back in an hour”
“Take security with you”
“No, we can manage on our own” I argued.
He gave me a look that told me he did not want to be argued with.
*****
“A personal trainer, really? And they said Gen Z Smart” Kylee said shaking her head.
She got into the back seat of the car.
“It was sudden, I was nervous” I said getting into the car with her.
“He didn’t believe you so .. way to go. Look, he’s asking those two securities to keep an eye on us”
“How do you know that’s what he’s telling them to do”
“Because I know Christian is crazy over you”
The two security men climbed into the front seat of the car. One was driving, the other was in the passenger seat. They drove out of the safe house.
“We can’t go to the hospital, if you’re hoping to keep this secret, you have to find a way to loose these guys” Kylee whispered.
“Do you have a plan?” I asked her.
“I always have a plan, this better work, I am not sacrificing my job or my life for you”
“Your life?” I asked with a raised brow, how am I threatening her life?
“It hasn’t crossed your mind that when Christian finds out were hiding his Baby, he’ll have my head on a golden platter ” she said with all seriousness that I had no other choice but to believe her.
We were whispering so that the security men would not hear us, it made them wary and they continuously glanced at us through the fear view mirror.
Kylee gave Christian the location immediately, it made me roll my eyes. They escorted us inside and Kylee pulled me close.
“You’re going to take an excuse to use the bathroom, I’ll distract them while you run and take a cab or something to the hospital. I’ll tell Christian you were overwhelmed with everything that has been happening between the both of you and you went home. He’ll surely come for you and by the time he’s in your house, you better be there with a pregnancy result”
I nodded my head and at the first chance I got, I told the security I was going to use the restroom.
One of them insisted on standing in front of the door to ensure that I don’t run.
“The boss would be furious if he hears that you followed his girlfriend to the bathroom, you don’t want him to be furious, do you?” The man thought about it and backed down.
“Good” Kylee said and she gave me the go ahead.
I walked calmly to the direction of the bathroom and Kylee distracted them, I ran the other way and bursted through the door.
I was running out and looking for a cab, I turned to see if the security men were following me, I wasn’t looking straight and I crashed into a hard body.
“I’m sorry ” I mumbled backing away… My heart stopped in my chest when I saw who it was.
It was Christian.
“Were you sneaking out?” He asked in a low, cold tone.
My chest was heaving.
“Jenna answer me”
“No, for Christ sake. Are you stalking me?”
“I just happened to suspect that you’re being shady for some reason and I decided to come here… Only to find you trying to run away”
“I wasn’t running away”
“Since when did you start lying consistently?”
He held my hand and pulled me into the gym. This just be a nightmare, Kylee looked shocked and disappointed. We were caught.
“I told you not to let her out of your sight” he said to the two big security men.
Their faces were ash from shock.
“You’re fired, both of you. Now get out”
The both of them opened their mouths to explain but they shut in and walked out calmly.
“Kaylee” Christian said.
He was angry, furious. She could not meet his eyes any longer.
“I’m so sorry” she whispered.
“You’re fired” he told her.
Her head shot up
“Christian, no”
“You don’t have a say in this, now you better…
“I said no, she was helping me” I said folding my hand over my chest.
“Helping you do what?” He asked turning to me.
His anger was forwarded towards me now, dear God, help me.
“Give Kylee back her job and I’ll tell you everything ‘
“Kaylee, you got your job back. Now, start talking “
