Over the last two months, hiding my relationship with Brandon has been getting harder and harder. Nevertheless, we do our best to keep our relationship a secret.
However, Amalia has nearly caught us a few times.
I snuck out Brandon’s window more than once and ran to my car parked down the street. The next day I would have to listen to Amalia telling me about her theories on her dad’s dating life.
She was sure he was seeing someone, which made me feel worse. Amalia would lose her shit if she found out that I was the mystery woman sneaking out in the middle of the night.
It was getting too stressful to hide it from her, but it was too late to turn back.
I’m falling for Brandon.
Hell, I’ve already fallen. He had me at hello, and I’ve been enamored by him every moment since, even though it would have been better for the both of us if I wasn’t.
I sighed as I leaned over the sink in my bathroom, my stomach tossing and turning.
I had been holed up in my apartment for the last week, feeling like absolute shit. It felt like a stomach bug that I couldn’t quite shake. Amalia had come over nearly daily with a fresh batch of soup and more movies to watch.
It was nice to have someone to feel miserable with, but today I was convinced it was more than just the flu.
I stared down at the pregnancy test on the edge of my sink.
Not only did I have to explain to Amalia that I was dating her father, but I would also have to tell her that she would have a half-sibling.
My stomach tossed and turned. I felt like I would be sick as I stared down at the two pink lines.
There’s no way that this is happening.
As I stared at the test, I still couldn’t believe what it said. I couldn’t be having a baby right now. It wasn’t the right time. I didn’t have my career built yet. I was dating my best friend’s father.
I have my boss’ baby.
With a groan, I leaned forward on the counter and buried my face in my hands. I’ve always wanted children, but this wasn’t how I wanted it to happen. Before considering having children, I thought I would be fully settled in my career.
