I heard my door crack open and knowing it was my mom I quickly hid the pregnancy test kit as I walked out to my room to see her with a pack of pizza, the aroma was calling I couldn't just wait to grab a bite of it.
"Here is a pack of pizza for you" she said and kept it on my table
"Mom these attitude of yours this few days doesn't make me believe you have changed, your recent kindness is becoming weird hence it isn't genuine" I said in a sign as I lay on my bed facing the ceiling.
"Elizabeth I don't know what is giving you the guts to talk to me in such disrespectful manner, just don't forget that I am your mother no matter what!!" She yelled as she slammed the door behind her.
She is the last person I will ever share my problems with, I am in a very horrible situation right now and I can't talk to my mom about it, isn't that insane.
I turned to the pizza on the table as I let out a deep sign, gotta have a bite of that pizza I can't be angry with food too.
My night was full of thoughts it was hard to believe that my one time sex can put me in a family way so fast when Mel has been having sex for two years now without protection with her boyfriend and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
Pregnancy for Edde isn't a good one because there is no way a playboy will accept a baby just yet, I don't just know how to present this but first I have to tell my mom about it.
She's my mom and I can't hide such news from her.
My phone buzzed as I picked it to see a message from Mel.
Hope you're fine Etta, have you used the test kit?
I kept my phone back on the table not wanting to reply her without telling my mom first.
"Elizabeth wake up it's past ten already!" I heard my mom's voice from my sleep as I hurriedly woke up hearing the time she called "What's wrong with you!, You never sleep this long!" My mom muttered as I ignored her hurrying to the bathroom.
I am so doomed!, Mrs Barbara won't stop ranting about my lateness gosh!, I brushed my teeth so fast that I was sure of getting injured, I took a quick bath and changed into a comfortable Polo and jean trousers as I took my phone and hurried out.
"You forgot your breakfast Elizabeth!" My mom called out but knowing the wrath of going late to work couldn't allow me think of going back for breakfast.
I got in front of Barbara's Pizza palace as the billboard at the corner of the shop read, I said my little prayer as I always did before going in but this days own was a special prayer.
I hurried inside just to see Mel serving the customers wearing my work attire, I was confused as I gave her that glare of "what are you doing here?" She ignored me as she focused on the customers.
"Oh Elizabeth what are you doing here today?, Thought you already pleaded with your friend to work on your behalf today, well how is your health she told me how down you were" Mrs Barbara asked with missed expression as I cleared my throat knowing the game Mel was playing, she literally saved my ass!.
"I think I'm getting better ma'am, thanks for your concern" I said calmly as she nodded and headed back behind the counter while Mel approached me.
"What Happened to your phone Etta, I called you throughout the morning but you didn't pick your call!?, I was so worried about you and I felt like you won't have the strength to come to work today" she said in a slight worried smile "So I decided to help save your ass!" She said pointing at the work outfit.
"They really look good on you Mel" I said covering my mouth as I giggled at her hard glare "Thanks so much Mel" I pulled her into a soothing hug, she's everything to me.
"Always at your beck and call bes, but wait… Why are you looking so horrible today!, Black eye bags, fvcked up ragdy hair and no lip gloss to at least help!" She Muttered glaring at me in a fake frown.
"I was in a hurry, I was just scared of Mrs Barbara's harsh words" I said using my fingers to straighten my hair.
"You already know that you're late, so you would have taken your time to get dressed, no customer will want your service looking this…" She paused rolling her eyes heaven ward " whatever, gotta attend to some customers" she said as she walked over to a customer at the extreme.
I feel so lucky having Mel around, I took out my phone to text her.
I'm going back home, you can call me if you need a company after work XO
