They Know
After we ate Seth disappeared into his office. I went upstairs and grabbed my laptop sitting in the bed pulling up my weekly email. I was glad that my weekly work assignments were sent on Sunday, it would give me a chance to go ahead and start on my own work while Seth was busy doing God knew what downstairs.
I groaned as I read we were having a flash sale this weekend. That meant I would have to temporarily close the site only to bring it back up for the allotted time, then turn back around and temporarily close it again. I would have to make sure when exactly I was flying home, if it was Friday I was going to be timing things perfectly.
The workload I had kept me plenty busy, when I looked up I saw it was close to 7 o'clock. I had been working a good 4 hours non stop. Saving my work and submitting what I could for approval I clicked out of my program. Standing up I ran to the restroom, figures the moment I sat down my phone started ringing. Whoever it was would just

Broken Promises Flashing Lights
Seth ended up calling me around 5 telling me to get ready that we were going out to eat when he made it home. I wanted to ask him a million questions over the phone but I bit my tongue knowing then wasn't the time. I had no idea how nice I needed to dress, I had no idea where we were going so I hovered over my bag for what seemed like forever.I finally chose a black tunic dress that fell just above my knees, it was basic but could also be dressed up. I paired it with a multi-strand gold chain necklace, gold bangles, and a pair of gold sandals. I was in the middle of French braiding my hair when Seth walked into the room. I hadn't heard him come up the stairs so I jumped when the door opened.He walked up on me pulling me against him as he leaned down kissing me. "Is this too much., or not enough, or..."Seth shook his head, "no you look good."I nodded at him still unsure, he had disappeared in the bathroom and I heard the shower kick on. Walking over to
Broken Promises Sick
When I did wake up the next morning I was sick, sicker than I had been. I found myself hovering over the toilet throwing up and not even that seemed to be helping. I began to think that my being sick and tired all the time wasn't just some virus. Grabbing my phone I saw I was a few days late. That in itself wasn't a red flag, I had never had a normal cycle. The thought alone sent me back to the bathroom throwing up.Once my stomach had settled some I sat on the edge of the bed wondering how the hell I could get ahold of a pregnancy test. It wasn't like I was about to call up and Seth ask him to pick it up. I couldn't ask any of his people, and I don't think he would be hot on me taking a taxi to the store either. I didn't know what to do so I called Brooke."Hey honey, I'm so ready for you to be home."I nodded to myself, "Brooke I think I'm pregnant."She gasped, "you're still sick?"I bit my lip, "yeah I've been nauseous and throwing up all morni
Broken Promises Positive
Friday morning came too soon, I had set my alarm early to wake me up so I could get ready for the flash sale. As much as I didn't feel like rolling away from Seth's warm embrace I had to get up and get the sale started. Thankfully my system didn't give me a hard time as I temporarily closed down the page. I had things back up and running within fifteen minutes.Leaving my laptop open so I would get any notifications if something went down I crawled back in bed. Seth's arms went back around me and I couldn't help but to scoot closer to him and inhale his scent. I didn't want to leave him but all good things must come to an end and our time was done.I may or may not have sulked around as we packed our bags, the sale was going smoothly so I felt confident I could check in one last time at the airport and then again when I landed in New York. Seth was sitting on the edge of the bed watching me as I laced my black converse up. "You could have stayed here, I can change your f
Broken Promises Mixed Reactions
Brooke and I spent all day trying to decide the best way to tell Seth. We both thought it would be best just to get it out there. If he found out somehow from someone else it would be worse than me just coming out and telling him. Seth was big keeping his personal business as quiet as possible and if the media got news of my pregnancy before I could tell him it would turn into a whole deal.I sat on the couch rubbing my imaginary belly as Brooke cooked us supper. The smell of grilled chicken fill
Broken Promises Love and Loss
I would like to say that things with Seth and I magically began to work themselves out. That he had calmed down and had begun to understand. That however wasn't the case, we still talked nightly but there was an obvious wedge between us. It had been four weeks since I had told him I was pregnant and he had yet to find his way to my door.It had taken a week after the last fight for him to call me back and apologize for some of the stuff he had said. He had told me that I had caught him off guard. That was the only excuse he had ever given me. He never mentioned a DNA test again but I knew deep in my heart that he would ask for one again and I honestly couldn't blame him for doing it. I understood now why he wanted one.He had wanted to come to my doctor's visit that was later today but he had gotten roped into performing one last show to make up for one he had to cancel due to weather. I couldn't believe it was already August. Seth's summer tour would officially be ove
Broken Promises Breakdown
I awoke the next morning to the brutal glare of the sun. Seth was still asleep so I tried my best to be quiet as I got up out of bed. I didn't want to talk to him right now, in fact, I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to pretend that yesterday had never happened, that it was all just a dream.Walking in the bathroom I saw a girl looking back at me that more resembled a zombie than a human. My skin appeared to be an almost greyish in color, my eyes were cold showing no emotion whatsoever. Evidence of my night spent crying showed under my eyes. Turning the shower on mostly cold water I stepped in almost grateful for the shock the coldness gave me.Once out I brushed my hair up in its usual messy bun and changed into a pair of black leggings and the shirt that I had stolen from Seth all those nights ago. Sliding into my flip flops I headed down the hall to make some coffee. I needed to stick to my routine, of course being up at 7 am was nowhere in my routine.
Broken Promises The Longest Week
Watching Seth walk out of my apartment door was hard. I'd seen him go before but this time things were different. This time I felt as if he was taking part of me with him, in a way he was, he was taking my heart with him. I halfway wanted to run behind him and tell him I changed my mind about coming but I refused to get in between him and his son.Walking to my room I paused as I saw my What to Expect When Expecting book. More or less shoving it into my dresser I sunk back into my bed and pulled the covers up around me. My phone dinged and I debated about even looking to see who it was.Curiosity got the better of me so I plucked my phone off the nightstand opening it up seeing it was Seth. I couldn't help the small grin that crossed my lips as I read, "miss you already." I replied back sending him a kissy face and telling him I missed him too.I didn't know what to do now that he was gone. I really didn't want to do anything but lay in bed and
Broken Promises Complications
My flight landed a little after 2 pm, grabbing my bags I headed out texting Seth to find out where he had parked. The moment I saw him I couldn't help the grin that popped on my face. He looked tired and I was sure having his son with him for a week wore his ass down. Walking up to him he took my bag throwing it in his trunk before pulling me into his arms.As he hugged me I buried my face into his chest inhaling his scent. I know it sounds cliche but I loved the smell of him, the combination of his cologne and weed was intoxicating. "I missed you," I said barely above a whisper.Seth looked down catching my lips, "you know all that you had to do was call and I would have flown you down."I nodded, "I know, I needed time." He looked at me with concern but I shrugged him off going to open my side of the car. He followed behind me opening his door and sliding in cranking the car. "Can we stop and get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry."Seth looked over a
