Chapitre 52: Blind date
"Brianna.....I wasn't expecting you, thanks for the Abacha I enjoyed it."
"Anton gave me your keys this morning, I'm still mad at you....Anton told me your fridge was empty and that there's nothing in the house."
" Thank you sist, Sky said, and I'm sorry."
"Quit apologising Mena, what's done is done, have you started antenatal?" She asked.
"Yes I have." Sky replied her sister as she watched her move freely in her kitchen.
"Are you sure this baby is by IVF or you just don't want to tell us who the father is?"
Sky walked to the dining and sat down as her sister sat with her. "Yes I'm sure sist. Remember what I told you about the company? my position in the company?"
" Yes I do Mena..."
"I wasn't kidding when I told you I'm the CEO of Jaydite but it's a secret that is why I haven't told anyone, I made a promise to Mr Jayden and there's a lot I have to do and it's going to get dangerous when I show myself to the public because a lot of people wants that position."
"Ok is there anything else you want to tell me Brianna asked her."
"Yes sist....emmmmm well you see, I paid someone to be by my side to pretend to be the baby's father, like i said it's all part of the plan...I don't want you and the others to be surprised when you hear rumours about me and one Dwayne Teffa."
"Don't you have any shame Mena? you are paying a man to be by your side...what plan? I actually thought I could forgive you for the pregnancy but now you just dropped another bomb on me. It's obvious you have too much money to throw around....if you knew you were going to be embarrassed, why did you get pregnant in the first place, if you are going to be ashamed of walking alone with your pregnancy then you shouldn't have done the fucking IVF," yelling Brianna stood up, picked her bag and turned to leave.
"I bought somethings and made some soups and stew...they are all in the refrigerator."
" Sist please listen to me, I can't tell you everything now but I will eventually."
" I don't want to hear it Mena..."with that Brianna left the house.
Anton came out if his room, tried to stop Brianna but couldn't. "This didn't go the way I thought it would....sorry Sky."
"It's not your fault Anton." Sky walked to her room and collapsed on her bed.....staring at the ceiling in her room she dozed off.
Anton knocked softly at Sky's door, he went in and saw her sleeping with her shoes on in a bad position, she didn't even change her cloths. He helped her remove her shoes and jacket and help her sleep well.... switching off the light, he left her room.
The next day went well....Sky attending meetings and checking departments in the office. She visited their branches in the capital, read the report from other branch.
Friday came finally...work went smoothly. At around 6:30pm Sky stared at her wrist watch...the blind date is for 7:00pm. Sighing Sky picked her bag, texted Anton that she would be late...as she was about to leave the office, Chiamanda rushed in and knelt down in front of Sky. "I'm sorry ma'am, I haven't been to work for three days now.....i will pack my desk and leave but first I want to thank you, I have been so busy running around for days looking for money only for the doctor to tell me this evening that you have paid for my mom's surgery and her name has been moved up to number two on the list since her case is more serious than others and that there are expecting two kidneys this weekend. I'm grateful ma'am...God bless you."
"You are welcome, now stand up... Abigail told me that you called her and told her you won't be around for the rest of the week. You are not fired...now go to the hospital your mom needs you."
"Thank you maam, my younger sister is coming back this weekend so I will resume work next week....thank you boss, thank you."
Sky tapped the young lady on the shoulder and left the office. Chiamanda watched her boss leave with the private elevator...there's no way she's going to betray her, Infact from now on She will be her shield and protect her from everything...she knew her boss used her connection to help her mom's name go up.
Sky drove to Reiz Hotel and got to the reserved room for their date...she was disappointed that he wasn't there yet, she didn't want to be here but at the same time she wanted to please her mom. Bringing out her phone she started playing her township game to while away time.
Sky was focused on her game when the waitress came to ask her for her order, I'll have a glass of water...i'm waiting for someone. Sky checked the time....she's been here for thirty minutes, she'll wait for another ten minutes and if he doesn't show up...she'll leave. "I'm doing this for you mom, she said to herself, no man keeps me waiting." Dropping her phone, she brought out her iPad to do some work.
She checked the time it was 7:50pm... dropping some money on the table, she stood up and left. Getting to the car, she called her mother..."Hello Nime, how are you doing and how was your day? I'm ok mom, i am actually at the car park of Reiz Hotel...he didn't show up, he stood me up..."
"I told you this wouldn't work...well mom, I'm exhausted, have a goodnight rest ma."
I'm sorry dear, I'll speak to his mother, sleep well my dear."
Sky drove home with the windows rolled down, she was happy to see that Anton wasn't home, she showered, changed her outfit and went to the garage, she pulled out her Power bike....her darling. Pulling out the cover, she put on her helmet and rode out of the garage.
She loved her bike, it was a gift from Anton, she remembered how he made her call him master before he agreed to teach her. Smiling, she drove out of the estate. Twenty minutes later, her phone vibrated in her pocket, she packed and was surprise to see the caller ID it was Jim, her brother in-law.
"Hello Mena, how are you? I'm at the house with Tega, we are with Anton, we are going shopping. Mena, I don't care what's going on between you and your sister, this weekend is your weekend with Tega, the boy has been so excited and packed his bag since Wednesday, I'm sure he knows the days of the week now, because of this weekend he kept asking me is today Friday?"
Laughing Sky thanked her brother in-law...."I'm on my way back now."
"One more thing Mena, how's Anton's driving? can I leave my boy with him? I will follow them to the supermarket but he will bring him home alone."
" Don't worry, he loves children, he'll drive carefully."
"Ok goodnight dear."
