Cold Showers Chapter Nine
In as much as Jayda was going through something delicate that made her want to spend all day in bed and continue crying where she left off, she had a job to attend to so that alone made her reluctantly get up from her bed as soon as her alarm buzzed. She did her morning rituals, changed into professional wear and exited her apartment.Jayda was mute all day. She only opened her mouth to give one-word instructions or one-word answers. She was happy the work she had to do made her forget about the pregnancy, even though it was only for a while.She had her cousin order lunch for her. Fortunately, she had some appetite today and she shed a tear when she remembered the food she was eating would be split into two. Half would go to her and the other half would go to the little human growing in her. She could not believe a baby was growing inside her and most of all, she knew nothing about being a mother.After lunch, Jayda buried herself with work-related matters and eventually left the offi

She rushed into the bathroom and emptied the contents in her stomach.She felt dizzy after she was done so she sat on the floor for a while to regain her lost energy.Feeling a little better, Jayda cleaned up, did her usual morning routine and got ready for work.Jayda considered today to be one of the days where she woke up on the wrong side of the bed so she was not in the mood to do anything extra. She settled for a simple knee-length official dress and brushed her hair. She decided to go makeup-free today. She reached for her hand and laptop bag, then made her way out of the room."I was about to call you down for breakfast," Lilian said, pointing to the pancakes on the table. She was already dressed up for work too."You look pale this morning." Lilian closed the gap between them.Jayda nodded. "I just had my first-morning sickness, I feel so weak."Lilian pulled out a chair for Jayda and made her sit on it and then took a

He gets angrier when he remembers his conversation with Lilian, his cousin. 'about her colleague dating the girl he had a one night stand with.' He was totally convinced Jayda was just like the other women. All the tears she shed were fake and most importantly, what they had meant absolutely nothing to her. He was hurt and dying of jealousy. The thought of another man having what he had with her was making him go crazy and because of his Ego, he couldn't reach out to her. Seb couldn't believe he had been celibate for over a month now. "Yes," He said as soon as he answered his intercom. "There's someone here to see you, sir." Maria, his receptionist said over the intercom. "But I'm not expecting anyone." "She said it's urgent Sir." "She?" Sebastian groaned, hoping it wasn't one of his ex flings. "Yes sir, her name is Jayda." Sebastian's eye

Jayda reached for a bottle of coke in the fridge and settled on the sofa to enjoy her pizza while going through the handbook Doctor Davis gave her earlier today.Soon enough Lilian walked in."Hey, best friend." She greeted as she placed her handbag on the table, then settled on the couch beside Jayda."Hi. Dinner is ready, I ordered pizza for you.""Thanks." Lilian smiled. Her smile grew wider when she saw the book Jayda was reading. An introduction to motherhood kind of book."So how was your visit to the Doctors?" She asked.Jayda finished chewing her bite of pizza before she answered. "It was fine. We talked, and she gave me some prescriptions and this book to read. My next appointment is i

Jessica came in immediately."When did this get here?" He asked, gesturing to the envelope on his desk."Maria said it was delivered this morning by an intern from Saunders and Co.""Did the intern tell Maria the person that sent him or her to deliver this?" He asked curiously because he has never had anything to do with anybody from Saunders and Co."No sir,"Sebastian sighed, "Okay, you can go."Seb removed his suit jacket, rolled up both sides of his sleeves to his elbow, then settled down on the chair behind his desk.He reached for the envelope and opened it. He came across some papers which were directly addressed to him. Sebastian took pains to go through the papers. He was shocked after figuring out what they were all about.The papers required him to tender

Then she handed him a glass of water which he refused.Vanessa took her son's hands in hers. "You can tell me everything now." She persuaded."I messed up Mom, I fucked up really bad." He said. Vanessa nodded, encouraging him to continue."I met Jayda five weeks ago, we met in a bar and ended up having a one night stand. She was different. I felt with her things I never felt for anyone; not even Susan who I thought was going to be the mother of my children.""After that night I was cold to her, we had a fight the next morning. Up till today, a day has never passed that I haven't thought about her.

She said she was pr

He felt more guilty hearing that she wasn't feeling well and wished he had reacted like a mature man when she told him she was pregnant.He wished he could take back all that he said to her. He was willing to accept his mistake and would do anything in order to be in both Jayda's life and his baby's life.He concluded that Lilian was the key to Jayda's heart. She knew everything about him and Jayda and yet she never said anything, at least not directly. Seb heaved a sigh. He felt like a fool when he remembered his last conversation with Lilian. Obviously, there was nobody called Liam. She was only pulling his legs.Even though Lilian and Sebastian were not on good terms, he was willing to make peace with her and plead to her to help him win Jayda and his baby back.
