BRYAN“Take a test D. This could be anything, let's not jump into conclusions. I'm very certain you are not pregnant, I played safe Diana.”These are the words that find way out of my mouth in the very state I found myself in. Standing there, and not a single clue of what I would do, thoughts flying into my mind, and a single sentence bringing back tough memories I've tried hard to forget over a long period of time.I hate feeling this way, but I'm sure, there's no reason, she just can't be pregnant.Fuck me!“How are you just so sure that I'm not pregnant Bryan? I want to know. Because we had unprotected sex a number of times, I'm don't know how you're so sure.” Diana asks in a brittle voice.“I know what I'm capable of Diana, I_ I just_ Look, I took my precautionary measures. I'm sure you aren't.” I take in a deep breath, moving closer towards her and taking her hands into mine. “I don't want us to let this escalate Diana, it's as simple as taking a test and confirming before jumpin
DIANAMy eyes widen to the ray of sun piercing through my blinds.It's 8:06 in the morning, I'm supposed to be at work by 7am. I'm late, again. Shawn is going to kill me. I make my way for the bathroom as fast as I can and I go face first into the shelf in my working corner. This definitely is not the behavior of someone trying to get a promotion. I heave a sigh of frustration.Thankfully I only sustain a small bump on the side of my forehead. I must have metal for a skull.I make a mental note in my head to text my brother and inform him I'd be dropping by after work.I rinse my face and proceed to have my bath and board a cab to work.Shawn spots me.“Ah, Diana. Stuck in traffic again?”He asks, making his way towards me.That's a usual excuse for me to be fair, but the traffic in LA is not even child's play.“I'm sorry Shawn, I know you wouldn't believe me, but there were minor inconveniences.”“You're damn right I wouldn't, see me in my office by the close of work” I groan while m
BRYAN“Thank you Mr Fox, I appreciate it, even more so, the children appreciate it all, your efforts, love, time and the money.”I look up at Miss Kharity, smiling, as she expresses her gratitude for the gifts I just dropped off for the children at the orphanage.It isn't even part of my monthly donations, but I sure love to see the smiles on the faces of these children. The joy is inexplicably real. It's not that kind of joy you get from Cats, or Chicken and chips, or Thai noodles, or even Basmati rice. No doubt these are good but the feeling of joy only come when you're with them. The feeling of joy that comes when I'm with these children remain with me, that keeps me going.“You have to understand it's really no problem Miss K, I enjoy doing this. I'll be on my way now, I'm quite late” I say cheerfully.“Thank you so much, say thank you kids”.“Thank you Mr Bryaaan!” The children shout in unison and in joy.It makes me happy, and I laugh.“It's okay, Thanks everyone. Bye”.I make
DIANAI'm outside my work place when I realize I didn't leave my brother a text to let him know I'd be dropping by today. So I call him._“Hey Daniel”__“Hi, Diana?”_He always does that, call my name in question to confirm if it's really me on the phone, I don't know what for or why, but sometimes it just gets frustrating._“Expecting someone else?”__“Sorry, been long”__“It's been 3 days Daniel, I called you on Sunday”__“Rightttt, my bad. So what's up?”__“Making my way to your apartment. Except I don't know the way to your apartment, so I need directions”__“I thought you said Wednesday?”__“Well I'm a day early, are you going to give me directions or not Daniel?”__“Ugh yh, sorry, Admiralty high way, let the cab drop you at the LA Kindread Hospital. My apartment is just around the curb by the side of the hospital. Ask for Royalty Complex. I'm on the last floor, 12b. See ya”__“Thanks big bro”_I take his directions as specifically as I can and I finally make it to the elevator.
BRYANI wake up by a kick to my ankle. It's very bright, it's morning. “Dude wake up, can't believe you slept on the roof top” He says, laughing at my weird predicament.Tired and unable to think I ask, “What's the time?”“It's about 8am, there's no work today though, you can rest all you want man”“Ugh, I have to get back to my place” I say, very tired.I make it back into Mike's apartment and get my things, I don't even take a shower. The elevator ride down feels like forever, but I finally make it down. I walk back to the hospital and over to the parking lot where my car is parked, and I head home.On the way home I can't help but think of everything Mike said. And my thoughts lingers back to my mum.She was only 18 when she was married to my dad, and it was for his money, neither of them cared about building a strong foundation for their marriage. Dad wanted a woman to have sex with and bear him children, and Mum wanted a rich man to have children with. It worked out well for bo
DIANASnapping out of my thoughts, I pick up my bag and leave Daniel's house. I put the key under his mat, just as he instructed and I head for Lynn's house.Lynn is my best friend. The absolute best. We've known each other for what feels like an eternity but is actually just 3 years, she works at the coffee shop just next to the Media company, not that she needs it. Her family is wealthy, so she doesn't lack. She just wants to feel like she has her hands on something, according to her. I grabbed her attention when I kept getting coffee consistently for 2 weeks due to some issues with my parents at home.She was there to comfort me, and she's always been there since, so I find my way to the Hospital and take a cab to Lynn's from there. I punch in the code and walk into her apartment when I get there, something smells fire, not literally though.Lynn is cooking. She squeals in excitement on seeing me.“Hey D!”“Hey L!”We both let out a vivacious laughter.“I wasn't expecting you”. Sh
BRYANIt's Wednesday, and all Wednesdays are off days, along side Saturdays and Sundays. I jump out of bed and head to my planning board. I dust off the previous plans from yesterday, which included “Have Maria over for sex” and I laugh at myself. I'm beginning to see how pathetic my life really is. I write down fresh plans for the day, and I decide to leave Maria, or sex, out of my plans.Binge watch Grey's AnatomyBuy take out for noonStudy the Indiana Medical caseGo to the gymVisit MikeBinge watch Grey's Anatomy. Again.I smile at my plan, though quite short, they are time consuming, so they pretty much cover up my 24 hours. ********When I'm back from the gym by 4pm, I freshen up and drive down to Mike's.This take the elevator to the last floor. When it finally opens, I'm met by a pair of striking blue eyes, she looks like she's in her late twenties, not too late, 26/27. She has beautiful, curly, shoulder length hair, she has inviting lips and most inviting of all, her boob
DIANAI leave the apartment and make for the elevator, the door opens, revealing the most handsome guy I've seen in a few years. I'm too sad and tired too be moved. But I notice his features. His hair seems a deep shade of brown, same as his eyes, and this simple feature compliments his face.His body is well built, and he's tall, very tall, a good 5 inches taller by my guess. I snap out of my trance and snap my hands at him,“Hello? I need to make it down, if you'd be so kind as to step out the elevator please”.“Yes, sorry” He says.He steps out, his eyes never leaving my body, till the doors closes. Thoughts are coming in, but I'm too tired to pay attention to them, so I wave them off and focus on my present situation.I decide to make a stop at Lynn's, just for comfort. so I take a cab from the hospital out front, to hers. We talk about work, I tell her about the amazing progress I've been making so far, and I tell her about my mum. That moment is clouded because I have so much
