| Simone clutched her stomach as she clicked onto the glorious tones of her phone ringing. Seems even Kelly had shut her out these days. Kelly thought she was too far gone and moved in with her sister for the time being."Simone?"Howie inquired. "What do you want?"she returned disappointedly. "You were expecting somebody else?" "I guess not. I'm sorry." "Do you remember that I told you I could help you?" "I'm listening." "I'm having a little get together tomorrow night." "And this would help me how?" "You want to see Kevin don't you?" "Yes but won't Alex be there as well?" "Unfortunately yes but that's exactly the reason. He needs to see it with his own eyes how in love you two are. He doesn't believe anybody else in the world could make you happy." "Like that's gonna change his mind." "It might considering he's very much in love himself." "He's in love? That's a good one. I didn't think he knew how to show that emotion." "That's my friend you're talking about." "You haven't seen the side of him that I have." "I guess not but I know my friend and this girl has got him turned inside out. He's not incapable of it, he just didn't know how to show it toward you." "Okay." "I know Kevin still loves you. I've never seen him so out of control. He's the most together man I know and you've got him doing flip flops." "What about you?" "What about me? I'm just the matchmaker in all this mess girl. It's up to you to make it work. I have nothing to gain from it but the satisfaction that there might be two less lonely people in the world as of tomorrow evening." "I'll be there then,"she clicked the receiver off and relieved herself of the exhausting pain that clung to her body constantly these days. Once finished , she rose from the cold ceramic tile and checked her features. She attempted drawing away the matted bangs that clung to her forehead. She was carrying his child. How was she going to tell him? What good would it do at this point anyway? |
