Steph stood in front of her mirror staring at the jeans she was putting on which was so tight, she couldn't zip it. Steph cupped her belly with her hand. It was beginning to grow and it was already really showing that she was pregnant. Steph pulled off the trousers and went towards her closet to look for something more suitable and comfortable. She didn't want to be looking like she was wearing something that wasn't her size.Steph looked through her closet but found nothing. She always mostly wore pants and sometimes gowns. She had no maternity gown and she had been hoping to go shopping for it today with her sister. Steph sighted a gown by the side of her closet. She pulled it out. The gown had flower patterns all around and she had even forgotten that she ever had it. She remembered she and Mia had bought it impulsively one day they went to the beach.She put the gown on and went to the mirror to see how she was looking. The gown was fit and made her tummy quiet invisible to
“They are here” Frank said after he walked into Alex’s office. The toyota company had come today to finalize the contract. Alex was both excited and nervous, they could change their mind if they didn’t find the terms comfortable and also, if they finalized it, it was going to be a big responsibility on them. It was the second big company that was coming to him in just less than 6 months. He was proud of himself and knew that even if it didn’t work out, he was glad they saw him worthy of being considered. Alex stood from where he was sitting and walked with Frank to the conference room. Alex met the rest of the dawn’s company members as he walked in. He sat opposite them, waiting for them to speak up first. “We have made a decision.”“We will finalize the contract today and we are looking forward to a great partnership with you.”Alex excitedly stretched his hands out as he shook the other C.E.O.He was too excited and his long term dream was finally sealed. They both sign
Steph sat in the living room watching her favourite tv show. She had been under the whether this morning and had called in sock to work. She munched on her popcorn, enjoying rewatching Friends for the 100th time. She stopped counting after the 10th time. Steph loved the show and everytime she had Mia would Argue about which sitcom is the best. While Mia always chose Big bang theory, Steph always told her Friends was the greatest Tv show of all time. Steph was feeling much better. She had been on the coach all day and even though Lucy had kept her company for a while. She had gone up to take a nap.Alex walked in and went towards the living room. It was almost 7pm and Steph had no idea how much time had passed.Steph heard footsteps get closer to where she was in the living room. She had initially though it was Lucy or the chef because Alex was never home that early.He was either at work, at a bar partying with his friends or with some girl.Steph looked to the side and saw Alex
I am really glad that you and Alex are getting along fine,” Lucy said, looking up from what she was knitting to look at Steph.Steph smiled“He is quiet good with conversations, didn’t know he talked that much. The most I have had with him was the conversation at the dinning the other day.”“I told you he was. You only had to get to know him.”“Yeah, you were right.”“How do you do it?” Lucy asked and Steph turned to look at her, wondering what she was talking about.“Do what?”“Allow him go for all these dates.”Steph laughed wondering what Lucy was talking about.“We have our separate lives to live here. You know that.”“I saw how enthusiastic you were with him yesterday. It seemed more than just a conversation with an housemate.”“It’s just one conversation. Don’t start thinking too much about it.”Lucy smiled.“I have experienced so much and seen so many people fall in love. You know what the best kind of love is?” Lucy asked.“The one that grew overtime because you get to see eve
Steph had her legs out as she painted them with the red nail paint in her hands. She had not had a nail paint on in months and had wanted to do something different. She felt the whole pregnancy had been making her cut back and stop doing a lot of things and she missed doing them. Mia would always question why she would rather paint her fingernails herself, than go to a professional nail artist but Steph always said it was one of her favorite past time.Her favorite tv show was on and she painted why she watched it. Steph kept her nails under her UV LED lamp. Her eye caught the time on her phone and she realized that it was almost 10pm.She had gotten back from work quiet early that day and had spent most of the time talking to Lucy and sitting on the couch watching friends.Lucy had retired to bed and she was left watching her series alone. Alex wasn’t back from work and the chef was also done for the day. Everywhere had been quiet except from the voices coming from the TV. As h
“I know the place might be a little too much with everyone talking about cars and if you ever get bored just let me know,” Alex said, holding hands with Steph as they walked into the party. It was a cocktail and As they both stepped into the hall, Steph was glad that she had decided to put on the purple gown she had on. It was on theme and very beautiful too.“I will be fine,” Steph said, with a smile.Alex didn’t let go of Steph’s hands, as they both walked towards some people at the party. “Let me introduce you to some of my colleagues here,” Alex said as they both walked on.“Alex!!” A Middle Ages woman said, pulling him in for a hug. Steph figured they seemed very familiar and wondered who she was. “This is Mary, one of the highest share holders in the company and the brain behind some of our best designs,” Alex said and Mary smiled.“He is the brain, always being too polite!”Alex smiled. “This is Steph.”“Ohh, you’re the Steph,” Mary said and Steph smiled and was about to
Steph heard a knock on her door, while she brushed her hair by the mirror in her room. She dropped the comb and walked up to the door. She wondered who it might be but figured that it was probably Lucy just trying to tell her breakfast was ready.Steph opened the door and she was met with Alex in front of it.“Hey,” She said.“How are you feeling now? Hope you’re much better?” He asked. Steph didn’t want him to care, to be so concerned about her. She wished things were the way they were before.“I am fine,” she responded. “Alright, just thought to check up on you,” he said.“Hope you ain’t going to work today? I can call them up for you if you want.”“That won’t be necessary,” Steph said. “Alright then, take care of yourself dear,” he said.Why was he using dear for her, she thought. Was she the one reading meanings to everything he did now or was he just different.Steph sat by the edge of her bed. She couldn’t seem to forget how she had felt the night before. She hoped it was just
Steph was doing everything she could to avoid running into Alex and being in the same space as him but it seemed like the more she tried, the more she saw him. She felt like nature was working against her and she felt powerless. “You want to eat in your room today again?” Lucy asked steph as she came to the dining area. Lucy had called her down to eat breakfast.“Has Alex gone out?” Steph asked, just to make sure.“Yes, he has,” Lucy answered.“Alright, I will eat here,” Steph said and sat by the dinning area.Lucy didn’t understand what was happening. She had just noticed that Steph had been acting strange for the past few days now.The chef brought out Steph’s breakfast “Thank you,” Steph said.“Did Alex do something wrong to you?” Lucy asked, sitting next to Steph in the dinning.“No, he didn’t,” Steph answered wondering why Lucy had asked her that in the first place.“You can tell me if he did. I will talk to him,” Lucy said.“Why are you asking though?” Steph asked.“It see
