It was creepy yet interesting. The whole time her eyes were on me.

"Here you go hun. A nice southern homecooked meal. Biscuits & gravy made from scratch, scrambled egg whites, wheat toast & a nice fruit salad with a few veggies because veggies are better for you than fruit because they contain more sugar. Anyways, eat up while I clean.", I said putting the plate in front of her.

"Aren't you going to eat?", she asked sitting up, pulling her plate closer to her.

"Do you want me to eat with you?", I asked.

She hesitantly nodded her head.

"Then I'll eat with you. Orange juice, grape juice, apple juice or water?", I asked.

"Umm. Orange juice.", she said before putting a spoon full of fruit in her mouth.

After eating in complete since, she just sat there & played with the fork on her plate.

"Thank you for breakfast.", she said breaking the since but continued playing with her fork.

"That was my first time eating wheat toast that was actually delicious."

"You're welcome. You ready to talk?", I asked.

She sighed but nodded her head.

I walked & sat down on the couch & soon she followed.

"You can start when you're ready."

She sighed deeply & ran her hand through her curly, untamed hair.

"After that night at the club, Era & I started talking. We even went on a few dates. I think it was after the 3rd date, we end up having sex which started happening a little more afterwards. The day of the sleep over I found out I was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel so I decided to talk about it with Era since we were both in this together. He-he..", she choked up.

"Shh. It's okay. Take your time.", I rubbed her hand softly.

"When I told him about it, he blew up on me. He called me out of my name, accused me of setting him up & told me to get an abortion. That's the main reason why I got drunk. I never meant anything I said that night. You're all I have as a friend & you're the only one who cares about me. Please don't leave me.", she said in between whimpers which ended up in sobs.

I pulled her into a hug & her her cry into my shoulder. I kissed her forehead & rubbed her back to comfort her.

"It's okay. I'm not going anywhere. But we need to schedule an appointment so we can see how the baby is."

"Mmkay. I really want a girl.", she sniffles.

"She'll be extremely beautiful. Now wipe those tears & let's find something to watch on TV."

"How about a movie night?", she suggested.

"That sounds perfect. Go find a movie & I'll get the popcorn."

"Okay.", she said getting up to go to her entertainment center.

While she went to look for a movie, I went in the kitchen to get the popcorn. As the popcorn was popping, I sent a quick text.

To: Aug 😌😛

I'm having a movie night with Jessica. Speaking of, I'll talk to you later. I don't want her to feel neglected.

"Amber! Hurry up! The movie is starting!.", Jess yelled.

"Coming!", I yelled back. I grabbed the popcorn & poured it into a bowl.

I walked out the kitchen & saw her cuddled up under her blanket. She saw me & smiled widely & patted a spot next to her.

As soon as I sat down, she grabbed the popcorn bowl out of my hands.

"Sorry. Eating for two.", she said with a mouthful.

My phone vibrated on the couch & I grabbed it quickly before Jessica grabbed it.

From: Aug
Aight boo. Have a nice night 😘!

"Who got you smiling over there?", Jess asked trying to look in my phone while shoving another handful of popcorn in her mouth.

Was I smiling? I didn't noticed.

"Just a friend.", I replied locking my phone & putting it on the other side of me.

She scoffed & rolled her eyes.

"August.", she whispered to herself with a smirk on her face.

Was it that noticeable?
