Deadly Pizza Guy
I arrived home and went to sleep.
I woke up late in the afternoon and decided I needed something to eat, after minutes of being indecisive on what I wanted to eat, I decided to just order pizza.
I was feeling slightly better, so I decided to check my face in the mirror, aside from a pale face, I looked not pregnant.
I decided after eating I was going to cut my hair, I wanted a new look or rather a distraction from my changing body.
I heard the doorbell and I knew it was the pizza guy. I opened the door and could not believe my eyes. I collected the box and tried to push the door closed.
He pushed it hard and tried coming in,
"If you take one more step inside my house I will file a report to the company you work for" I screamed at him with a red face.
"I don't give a fuck" he said as we both pushed hard at the door from both ends, I tried closing the door, he on the other hand was trying to open the door.
"I won't stop there, I will fucking report you to the cops and open up the case o never wanted to open and I swear you will pay for everything fucking thing you did to me" I was scared, but I needed to show him I was not that scared girl he took advantage of years back.
He stopped pushing at the door, I pushed hard and locked it from inside.
"Baby please open the door"
"Don't you dare call me that you son of a gun" wow where was all this swearing coming from
"We need to talk," he said as though he was innocent.
"We have nothing to talk about, now leave my house" I was angry, scared, worried.
"I'll be back and you know that" he threatened
"Thanks for informing me, I'd keep my gun loaded" no no don't come back was what my insides were screaming.
I was scared.
I heard him walking away. I'm never buying from that pizza place ever again.
I sank onto the couch freezing, what do I do?
I picked up my phone to call my mom and inform her that he is back, the bastard was back.
Then I decided against it, I didn't want to ruin her vacation.
I called Carl, "please come I need you" was all I could say.
I wasn't thinking, but I needed him, I was in danger, his baby in my womb was in danger, but was I ready to tell him about that idiot? Was I ready to tell him about the baby?
Should I call him back and tell him to not bother coming?
I heard a knock on the door, wow that was quick, how did he get here so fast?
I opened the door and found Sarah standing, what an awkward surprise.
"Hello Sarah, please come in" please get out I said in my head.
"You don't look pleased to see me," she said coming in.
I locked the door, still scared of the idiot I had just encountered.
"What do you want Sarah?"
I tried asking nicely.
"Well, I came to inform you to stop whatever it is you have with Carl, this is not advice, this is a warning Melanie"
"I don't understand what is going on here"
"Let me make you understand then when the doctor came to the office, I accompanied him to Boss' office, the boss was all over you looking worried and even screaming at the doctor, I have never seen him like that before, not with anyone, I also discovered you both stayed in the same hotel room during Andrea's wedding, this is my warning, stay away from Carl, he is mine, you get that"
I said nothing, this girl was crazy, I need to keep my growing baby safe from them all.
"Bye darling Melanie, get well soon" she smiled and left the house.
Two crazy people and a piece of bad news in one day, what else can possibly go wrong.
I looked at the pizza, deciding not to eat it as I have lost appetite.
I stood in front of the mirror looking frustrated.
I picked up my scissors and cut my hair to my shoulder length.
The tips looked a mess, but I didn't feel up to going to the salon for a proper trim so I left it that way at least for today.
I thought of how crazy my day had been from the moment I woke up.
"I've been knocking for a while" I heard Carl say from behind me, I didn't hear him come in.
"Gosh Carl you scared me"
"What are you thinking about?"
He asked
I ignored him, "how did you get in?"
"I knocked for a while, after not getting a response I turned the doorknob, and the door flew open"
I pushed him and ran towards the door, I locked it, how can I be so stupid to not lock the door after Sarah left.
Carl came up to me in the living room, "Melanie what is wrong with you, you are not telling me anything, the doctor is not saying anything"
I sat on the couch and burst into tears, Carl sat beside me, hugged me, and allowed me to cry in his arms.
The trouble of this day is so much, how can I handle it all. I slept off in Carl's arms,
I opened my eyes again when I felt him carry me in his arms to the bedroom, he placed me on the bed and covered me with the duvet.
"Gosh Melanie, what have you done to your hair" I heard before I drifted back to sleep.
I woke up to the aroma of the soup.
"Good thing you are awake, eat up, the stylist would be here any moment from now," Carl said I woke up and sat up.
"Smells good, you cooked?"
"I did, but I bought the bread" I stretched my arms to collect the tray but he didn't hand it over, instead he sat on the bed with me and started feeding me.
"You made mention of a stylist"
"What did you do to your hair?" Carl asked looking at me like I was some sort of weirdo
"I was angry and I needed a change of look," I said as I dipped some bread into my mouth.
"And you had to cut it yourself? Couldn't you just go to a salon?"
I totally ignored him.
"Andrea recommended a stylist, I've called him, he is on his way"
"You called Andrea?"
"Yes I did, don't worry I did not mention that it was you who needed a stylist"
"At least you didn't call Sarah" I murmured
"What did you say?"
"Nothing"
"Is Sarah bothering you?" Carl asked I could see the look of anger on his face.
"No" I lied, putting another bread in my mouth.
"You are lying"
"No"
"You avoided my eyes"
"Sarah likes you"
"Not my business"
"I'm full, thank you"
He said nothing, he simply nodded his head.
"Why did you leave angrily yesterday?"
I asked.
The doorbell rang, he didn't answer the question
"Must be the stylist, stay in bed let me be sure first" He left the room.
"The stylist is here" Carl announced.
I got out of bed and wore something comfy.
"Hello darling" this guy must be gay, I thought in my head.
"Hi, I'm Melanie,"
I said offering him a handshake, he ignored my hand and kissed my both cheeks.
"I'm Jay, let's take a look at your hair before this handsome guy here thinks I'm flirting with you" I smiled.
He really is gay.
"Hair too 101, Melanie do not ever trim your hair yourself," Jay said as he set to work.
Carl left us alone and went into the room.
"When is the wedding, because I don't see no ring" Jay said in his female like voice.
It's either Carl is not as popular as I thought or that his wedding didn't go public.
"Jay, there is no wedding," I said clearing the air
"No" Jay breathed out.
"Yes," I said.
"Does that mean I can have him to myself?"
"No way" I screamed at him.
"Calm down cute ass, just teasing you, chill I thought you wanted him no more"
"I'd kick your ass, Jay," I said almost laughing
"That's a street statement coming from a refined lady as you are," Jay said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Roll your eyes one more time and I'll kiss you," Jay said and I laughed.
"No one is kissing anyone here," Carl said sharply from behind.
"Hmmm" Jay murmured.
"I don't want that look, not the curve end, give it a sharp finishing," Carl said and I looked at him
Why was choosing a style for me.
"It should look like her hair and not some wig" Carl added.
Jay nodded and did his thing
"He is grumpy" Jay whispered into my ears and I laughed.
"I don't want him no more," Jay said again
This time I laughed harder, Carl looked at us, rolled his eyes, and left us again.
"How can a sweet soul like you fall in love with that man?"
Jay asked, I knew he meant no harm
"Who said anything about being in love with him?" I kept a straight face.
"Oh sugar, it's obvious, and besides that's the only way you can stand him"
I said nothing because I knew that was the truth. Besides I didn't want to tell Jay that Carl was my boss.
"He'll be a fool to let you go, I've seen gold diggers and you are not one of them"
"Thanks, Jay" I simply said, nothing else.
"That's it, you look perfect," Jay said packing up his pieces of equipment.
