Built Like Karma: The Plus Size Girl's Guide to Comeuppance Chapter 113 Making Moves
JALEN’S POV “So, love… you look very, very beautiful.”She chuckles softly. “You already told me that.”I watch her, the way her smile flickers, the way her fingers fidget slightly. Something’s off. She looks nervous, almost unsettled, and that’s starting to make me uneasy because Aria isn’t the nervous type.Before I can ask anything, Camille calls her name from across the room. Aria gives me a small nod and walks off toward the dress display. Nia waddles behind her, patting my shoulder as she passes like she already knows something I don’t.I shake my head.Kendall walks over. “Bro, what’s going on with you?”“Nothing,” I sigh. “Just trying to talk to Aria, see how she’s doing. She looks… worried or something.”Kendall shrugs. “I think she looks fine.”“Yeah… maybe you’re right.”I exhale and try to shake off the feeling. “Come on, man. Show me around this monstrosity of a house.”He laughs. “Say less.”As he starts the tour, we pass guests eating, drinking, mingling. I spot his p

ARIA’S POV As I look over at Nia, she narrows her eyes at me and says, “Bitch… get a pregnancy test.”I scoff immediately. “No, I’m not. Girl, please. Maybe I ate something wrong. I for damn sure know I am not pregnant. I didn’t slip up. I’m on the pill. And we used plenty of condoms, and none of them broke.”She gives me that look, the one that says stop lying to yourself, and shakes her head.“Everything you’re talking about, Aria… none of that is 100% fullproof. Shit happens. How you think I’m pregnant right now? I was on the pregnancy patch and Matt wore a condom. Boom. Baby.”I blink at her. “Are you sure you didn’t just slip up? Because the way you and Matt be going at it...”She cuts me off, waving her hand. “No. Matt and I planned not to have any more kids this fast. Maybe six or seven years after the last one, not this soon, but guess what? Boom. Baby.”I sigh and rub my face. “Okay, listen. To appease you, ma’am, I will go get a pregnancy test. But I’m not taking it this m

JALEN’S POV As I wake up again in my childhood home, I sigh and run a hand down my face. I feel like a damn coward. Afraid to even go home because a 115 pound woman who is hell bent on destroying my life. I don’t even know what to say about myself at this point.I roll out of bed, head to my connected bathroom, do my business, and come out thinking, What the hell, wait, the party is today. I’m going to see Aria today.And just like that, I’m wide awake.I jump back into the bathroom, take a long, hot shower, and get dressed for the day. Slacks, a white collared shirt, shit, this is good enough for a housewarming. The moment I hit the stairs, I smell it: my mom’s cooking. One thing about her, when she does cook, she goes all out. And since I’ve been bouncing between here and avoiding my own house, she’s been cooking her ass off.I walk into the kitchen and see her plating up eggs, bacon, pancakes, and hash browns, everything I love.“Yes, Mom. Yes,” I say, leaning in and giving her a

ARIA’S POVWork finally lets out, and the whole walk from my office to my car, all I could think about was Hunter’s words replaying in my head like somebody hit the loop button. I keep thinking about whether I should text Jalen… and then deciding no… well... maybe yes… then absolutely not. My brain is a damn ping-pong table and I’m losing every round.Before I can overthink again, my phone buzzes.Nia: “Train gets in less than an hour.”I sigh. Perfect timing. It's rush hour in downtown Chicago, which means by the time her train actually pulls in, and she gets off, and wrestles her suitcase from under that damn Amtrak, I should be just pulling up.I hop in my car, turn the engine over, and ease out of the parking lot. I flick on the radio, and my afternoons are for decompressing the day with mellow music, and Phil Collins is singing “Against All Odds.” I smile a little. Good song. Good mood. Bad timing for the emotional soundtrack.Then my phone rings through the car speakers.Me: “Wh

JALEN’S POV Friday is finally winding down, and all day my chest has felt too tight. I had Michael send that email to Aria the way I promised, asking politely if she’d be okay with me coming to Kendall and Camille’s housewarming. I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. Hell, I didn’t want to make myself uncomfortable either.Michael called me back a few hours later.“She said it’s fine,” he told me.And I stood there in my office, staring at the wall like a damn fool, whispering to myself,Well. I’m not fine. I’m nowhere near fine.I miss that woman so much it feels like somebody’s carving me open from the inside. Every day I don’t talk to her is a new kind of punishment. The urge to text her is like a drug withdrawal. My heart feels like it was cracked in two, and somehow still beating.Earlier this week, Kendall told me everyone was invited.“Bro, everyone we know,” he said casually.I raised a brow. “Kendall, we don’t know that many people in this area.”He sighed. “Okay, okay, w

ARIA’S POV Three weeks later.As I walk into the office, the first thing I notice is how everyone is already in full fall mode. Decorations are going up, people are pulling out their cozy sweaters, and honestly… this is my favorite season. Chicago in the fall? Nobody can dress better then me. The boots, the jackets, the layers... yes I love it. And this year, fall seems to be creeping in early. Hell, Summer has barely said goodbye.I adjust my purse on my shoulder and exhale.I think about that cease and desist from Talia… which was ridiculous. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and then? Silence. Nothing from her. And nothing from Jalen, which throws me off more than I want to admit. For a man who swore he loved me, the quiet is almost kind of scary. But I can’t even be mad, because I did tell him to leave me alone. Usually most people wouldn’t listen to something like that… but I guess he did.I'm sort of proud of myself, but also sort of… not.Nia’s off bed rest now, and shes comin
