Close Friend

"Shh..stop crying Rachel and tell me what happened" Camilla sat next to her.

Rachel sniffed, "Am I that really bad?I didn't do those things with any bad intentions, I just wanted to look after him "

"I know Rachel, but what did he do to make you this way " Camilla slowly dried her friend's tears.

Rachel told her what happened and the more she talked the angrier Camilla got.

The three men were almost done when they heard the door to Camilla's door open.

"Chris...Chris " she called His head popped out of the other room.

"Milla " he answered.

"Get me my phone and Jack please bring me a glass of water," she said. He grabbed her phone from the living room and took it to her. He caught a glimpse of a sad figure on the bed behind Camilla.

Jack came forward with the water. Camilla took the glass with her phone and walked back to the room.

Rachel drank her water while watching Camilla make a call.

"I don't think he will like it when you scold him just because of me " she cried.

"Don't worry, just drink some water and stop crying. Your pretty face is going to swell with all the crying " she wiped the tears off Rachel's face.

The call went through and Ray picked up.

"Bestie..." she heard his shaky voice and frowned.

"Hi, how is everything going?" she asked.

Ray fell silent then said, "everything is okay. Rachel left for woke already " he laughed.

Camilla sighed trying to hold her anger, "really, that's good. So I wanted you to come over and see the cute baby clothes we bought "

"Okay, I will be there in a few minutes "

"Can you bring Rachel along, I want to see her too " Camilla pried more.

"Ahh!...but..s..she might be busy now " he stammered

"Then maybe I call myself and invite her?" Camilla asked.

"No..no..let me do it " Ray shouted.

"Okay, get here soon. And bring me some cake am craving something sweet " she said.

Ray hung up after agreeing. He was in trouble and he knew it.

Camilla looked up at Rachel and smiled.

"So let us see what this fool will do now," she said. Soon Rachel's phone rang it was Ray.

"Don't pick him up, put your phone in silence and leave it here " Camilla told Rachel then led her out of the room.

They walked out and moved to the living room. Chris was in the kitchen with Jack cooking while Alfred was talking on the phone.

"My two handsome chefs, we are having two more guests for dinner" she smiled.

Chris turned, "Okay, what will my baby want for dinner?"

"Anything delicious " she motioned him to come closer and pecked his cheek.

"And what would our guest want to eat then?" Jack smiled at Rachel.

"Oh anything is fine with me, I don't want to give you a hard time since I just came unannounced "

"Rachel isn't a picky eater, she's just like me so make everything and we will just do the eating " Camilla giggled.

"Rachel I suggest you have some ice cream to cool yourself down " Chris pointed to the fridge.

Rachel blinked, "Is that okay, I feel like am really invading you guys "

"Milla likes you and that makes you a close friend. So don't be nervous and feel at home " Chris moved to the fridge and pulled out ice cream grabbed a spoon and placed them in front of Rachel.

Camilla smiled. Rachel thanked them and took it.

"You girls can go to the living room but Milla no ice cream for you," Chris said.

Camilla frowned, "But..but I want some too " Chris gave her a cold glare and she fell silent and nodded.

She knew why he had refused, having eaten a lot of cake and had more than a slice. Chris would not allow her to have anything sweet now.

Alfred was done with his call and came to sit with the women in the living room. They watched some movies as they waited for Jack and Chris to finish cooking.

"Alfred after my wedding yours is next " Camilla giggled.

He laughed watching the women share the ice cream while sneaking glances towards the kitchen.

"Won't you miss it since you both might be on your honeymoon " Alfred smiled.

Camilla sat up, "Oh..then you and Jack have to wait for us to return. You know I can't miss your wedding "

They laughed. Camilla rubbed her belly.

"Alfred..would you like a girl or a boy if you guys decided to have a baby?" Camilla asked.

"You know that's biologically impossible " Alfred laughed.

"The world has changed, now there are different ways to have a child " Rachel finished her ice cream.

Camilla nodded, "I know," Alfred said.

"So then, which one would you love to have?" Rachel asked.

Alfred paused and his eyes moved to the busy smiling figure in the kitchen.

"All I can say is if it makes Jack happy then I choose that"

Rachel and Camilla giggled, "Ahh...Alfred that's not an answer we want. But it's still good enough "

The doorbell rang. Camilla's eyes lit up knowing who it was while Rachel seemed to frown.

"Alfred can you get the door, please. Rachel go to the third room on my left " Camilla instructed as she grabbed the empty ice cream container to the kitchen.

Alfred moved to the door and Rachel went to the room as told. Chris and Jack glanced at each other briefly then returned to cooking.

"Ray, welcome " they heard Alfred's voice say, he closed the door." Camilla and the others are in the kitchen," he told Ray.
