More Than Business

Chapter 47

"You cant wait." She teased.

"Dont flatter yourself." I joked.

"Yeah whatever."

"Thats why.. I gotta go because a certain someon is making me breakfast." I stuck out my tongue.

"Oh your boyfriend is up too?"

"Dont say boyfriend." I stated.

"Im sorry Mrs. Graham how do you refer to him?"

"Im hanging up nowww!" I sang.

"Bye."

"Bye."

We hung up.

"How do you refer to me then?" Aubrey asked.

I jumped, "you scared the shit outta me."

He sat a tray of food beside me and sat on the bed, "youre avoiding the question."

"I dont know."

"Well.. Where do we stand in your head then?"

"We're dating. I just don't like the titles boyfriend and girlfriend.. They sound juvenile and temporary." I explained.

"So what titles do you want?" He asked, kissing my cheek.

"I don't knowww" I groaned.

"Fine. But can we talk?" He looked into my eyes.

"Yeah, whats up?"

"Where do you see this relationship going?" He asked.

"Honestly.. Im not sure how to answer that." I admitted.

"Why not?"

"Because before i say something stupid.. I want to know your feelings." I explained.

"Fine." He shrugged and fed me some food. "I see us, married with a kid or two. Our businesses combined into one empire."

"A kid or two.. As in OJ and Aaliyah?" I asked.

"No.. Actually I pictured us having a child or two together." He corrected.

"Oh." I replied.

When I got to the office Lydia was already there.

"What are you doing here?" I put my hand on my hip.

"I work here.. I co-own this place.. And I have your coffee." She clicked her tongue between statements.

"Its early though."

"I know.. But I was already up." She shrugged.

"Oh.. I guess." I sat in her chair in her office.

"Three nights in a fucking row Onika?" She nudged my bun.

"Stoppppp." I whined. "You know with me it coulda been worse."

"You better take a fucking pregnancy test before yall get too ahead of yallselves." She warned.

"Ummm.. Theres a thing called birth control." I rolled my eyes.

"But its not 100% effective."

"But what are the chances that I'd get pregnant."

"If you woulda got ya tubes tied after OJ it wouldnt even be an option." She pointed out.

"You were the one that said it wasn't worth it." I argued.

"Yeah.. But its your body." She shrugged.

I sighed, "its too late anyway. Aubrey lowkey wants us to have at least one child together."

"Aww a little half-Aubrey half-Nika is gonna be running around?" She smiled.

"Nooooo no time soon." I shook my head. "This little thing is still good for like 3months." I motioned towards my uterus.

"Does he know?" She asked, "like what if he's expecting you to end up pregnant from all of this?"

"No he doesn't know. I'll tell him.... Soon. When the time is right." I assured her.

"He deserves to know Onika." she said sternly.

"I thought you said you were gonna be less involved."

"Hey.. Im not any more involved than any other girl's best friend would be." She defended.

"Fair enough." I exhaled and stood up.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I have work to do.. And so do you." I stated as I walked towards my office.

"Don't forget you made lunch plans with OJ" she called.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." I assured her as I closed the door behind me.
