Steph got ready for her first day to visit the hospital. She hadn’t had time in a while and had been postponing going for the scan. Although that’s what she tells herself, she was just really anxious. Anything that concerned the baby, she always didn’t know how to act. Steph sat at the dining table and the chef served her toasts. “Has he gone to work?” Steph said, turning to face Lucy who was sitting opposite her. She had made it a tradition to eat with Lucy and even Lucy was starting to get used to it. “I think he leaves in a few,” Lucy replied.Steph never knew how his schedule was like. They never really talked about what either of them did and they were living their separate lives in the same house. “Alright, thank you.”Steph never really asked if Alex was going to eat with them anymore. She had initially tried but he had refused twice saying he was more comfortable eating in his room. Alex came down few minutes after and as then he walked out towards them. “G
Alex brought out some clothes from his closet. He had been wondering what to wear to the date he had. He brought out two of his polos on his bed. He picked the two polos and walked downstairs to go and meet Lucy. He always went to her anytime he needed something like that. He had set up a date with a girl and even though he was skeptical about it, he loved to go out and wouldn’t miss a chance to. “Hey Lucy,” Alex said, seeing Lucy sitting outside in the varanda.“Alex,” Lucy said facing him. She dropped the knitted sweater she was doing. That was what she loved to do. Most days there was really nothing to do at home and she just spent her time knitting. “This or this?” Alex asked, putting up the two shirts. “I can’t seem to decide.”Lucy would have actually answered the question like she always does but that day, she had another idea.“Why not ask Steph. She knows quiet a lot about fashion,” Lucy said with a smile.“I don’t know about that,” Alex said. He and Steph didn’t rea
Steph woke up quiet early in the morning the next day. She had trouble sleeping and had woken up several times at night. She had also thrown up a bit at night but was feeling much better in the morning. She had thought she wasn’t going to go to work the next day but she felt better. She went into the bathroom and had a quick shower. She put on her black pants and nude shirt. Packing her hair behind and holding it with a hair packer. She applied a little powder, used a little lip gloss and was ready to go.She came out of her room and saw a girl coming out of Alex’s room. She figured it was probably the same girl she met the night before. The girl was wearing the same clothes she had seen on her the night before. A short brown dress. Her hair looked messy and it was evident that she didn’t do any combing in the morning.“Hey,” She said to Steph before going down the stairs.“Good morning,” Steph replied.Steph went down behind her and watched her open the main door to leave.
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
