Jessica’s POV
After a month, I started work today, I was dropped off by Xavier as usual, I was surprised that there very few workers around when I was walking to the elevator.
I soon reached my destination and I came out from the elevator, the whole floor was quite and no one was around there, it was as if I came work on an off day,
“What is going on? Why isn’t everyone here?”
I continued walking to my office to check files and call them on phone, I started walking faster in order to reach my office
“Welcome back!!!”
Someone shouted startling me, my heart sped up and I yelped loudly only to hear laughter,
“Did we startle you? Sorry, surprise!!”
I still clutching my heart and bending over looked up to see a big ‘welcome back’ banner, most of the company’s workers, and my assistant and Blanca holding a cake,
“You guys almost sent me back to the hospital again ”
I was smiling though as I was saying it, I was really feeling very emotional because no one has done that for me before and am really grateful to them.
“Thank you so much for everything, I really appreciate ”
“We know, now blow out the candle, I can’t bear to resist the cake anymore ”
“Okay, then here I go, fuuuuufuuuuu”
I blow the candle and everyone started cutting cake to eat, I also did because am really a big sweet tooth.
I was really happy, no one has ever received me like this since my parents died, I smiled to myself before the ringing of my phone brought me out,
Sit by myself
Talking to the mooooooonnnn
Trying to get to yooouuuuu
“Hello, Jessica from Global media speaking, how may I help you?”
“It’s me Xavier, how was the welcome party ?”
“Wow, you knew?”
“They told me and I supported them, you deserved it ”
“Thank you, it went well and the cake was so creamy and sweet”
“You like sweet things, copy that”
“Hahahaha, yeah I do so keep it well in mind”
“Already done, I will get back to work and leave you to your device okay”
“Okay, bye, be careful ”
“I will, you too”
It doesn’t hurt to be close to him after all he will be the father of my child and my first intimate partner, even though it says not to see the child after leaving, I know he won’t deny me that favour at all, I smiled and started actually working for the day.
XAVIER’S POV
I was still smiling after the call with Jessica, she has started opening up to me and it made me happy, I was scribbling on a paper and Mike came in without knocking not that I cared because I have done that to him many times and will still continue.
I stared at him as he walked like a zombie towards a sofa
“What is it Mike?”
“Nothing, did I say anything?”
“Okay”
We stayed silent for a while hour but his restlessness is disturbing me by a lot, I ignored it at first but I can’t anymore, more of that feet thumping will drive me mad
“Spill it out, what is it?”
“Did I say anything?”
“Then go to go your office, you are distracting me alot”
“Have you and Jessica made up?”
“Yes we have , thought I told you”
“Okay, that’s why you are pushing me away mann”
“When did I do that, you know what suit yourself ”
30 minutes later,
“Is it…. perhaps Laura, are you having problems with her?”
“Haa, how did you know? But truly it isn’t my fault you know, she…. she… she just got angry and I can’t handle her when she is angry ”
“What do you mean not your fault because I can swear it is, and Laura may have a quick temper but never unreasonable one, so you did something bruh”
“How could you do this to me, you are defending her”
“Am not defending her, am stating facts”
“What has Jessica done to you, give back my Xavier ”
“Your Xavier? That’s disgusting Mike”
“I don’t care, give him back to me”
“Okay, okay, tell me, what happened between you and Laura ”
“We went for clubbing and we were having fun when she said she wanted to use the restroom, I said okay and went back to my seat, only for another girl to come to me and demand for my number, I rejected her because I already have a girlfriend she agreed and stood up and then she fell on top me, I helped her get up but Laura came in that exact time ”
“Oh, that’s big trouble you are in bruhh”
“So I explained everything to her and she was still angry so I respected myself and sat down there like a good boyfriend waiting for her only to see her getting pulled by a dude, what am I supposed to do at the moment?”
“Puch his eyes out or break his nose”
“Exactly, I did just that but guess what?”
“Spill it out and cut the guessing game ”
“It was her brother, her brother, apparently the other siblings were there too and he was actually taking her to greet each other since it’s been long but I happened, if not that Laura liked my junk so much she would have sent me impotence”
“Hahahhahahah, sorry it wasn’t funny but, didn’t you see his face or what?”
“It was dark , how could I see his face ”
“Go apologize ”
“I already did, I was kicked out from the house ”
“So sad for you”
“Duu, duu, duu”
His phone rang and he answered judging by his creepy smile, Laura must have forgiven him
“Well I am gonna go now, something urgent came up”
“Okay, then, send me regarding to Laura ”
He left, (something urgent my foot)
