Chapter Two

Raphael sat at the edge of the bed with his girlfriend. She just told him that she was pregnant. He doesn't know if he should be happy or sad but his present countenance showed that he was confused. It has been four times since he made love to her and now she's pregnant. He just can't understand. He is not ready to be a father but he must take care of their child.

"Don't you want it? It's our child Raphael", his girlfriend said with a shaky voice.

"It's not Eva. It's just that-"

"It's too soon? I understand Raphael", Eva completed the sentence.

"Yes Eva. I accept the child since you said it's mine. I just can't neglect the child. This would be my first child and I can't just shut the baby out", Raphael reasoned and Eva smiled.

"I will also contribute to the upbringing of this child Ralph. I love you so much ", Eva kissed Raphael's right cheek.

"I love you too. Please don't smoke or drink till you deliver. Don't hurt my baby Eva. I'm begging you", Raphael pleaded while holding her hands.

"What? That's ridiculous. I won't smoke but drink? You gotta be kidding me Ralph" , Eva laughed hysterically.

Raphael stared at her for some time with mixed emotions. Eva is a loose girl and he still doesn't like that part of her.

"When you kill the baby, don't you dare come to me for anything Eva", Raphael warned and left the room angrily.

The bell jingled as another customer entered the restaurant.

"Good day Sir- Damon", Tessa's eyes widened to see Damon in her working place.

"You're stalking me?", Tessa asked and frowned.

"Stalking you? I live around here Tessa" he said and flashed his beautiful smile at her.

"Huh? So you work here? Nice outfit!", He complimented but she didn't look pleased.

"What would you like to have?"

"What's the best meal here?", He asked.

"I thought you said you lived around?", She looked at him suspiciously.

"Yeah?"

"Anyways, all the meals are good but my best meal is spaghetti"

"Spaghetti it is then. I would like my spaghetti with two chickens and a pineapple juice", he gave his order and Tessa rolled her eyes at his 'two chickens'.

"Okay", Tessa said and turned to go with the menu book. Damon watched as her hips swayed and her ass bounced. He took out his phone for some business to kill some time.

Tessa waited at the counter for his food. She watched him as he typed on his phone. This was the time to check him out. Tessa thought and bit the pen between her lips.

"Fuck!", She cursed when he caught her eyes. He smiled but she cursed all the same. He has a cute face and built body. He has a tall frame and well toned skin. He doesn't seem to fit into her criteria for boyfriend material.

Tessa walked slowly to his table and carefully placed his food on the table.

"What time do you close?", Damon asked and she raised her brows. "Oh come on! It's not bad for a friend to ask, is it?"

"I close by six", She answered.

"Okay then."

"Enjoy your meal ", she passed a fake smile - "Or choke on it", she muttered and walked back to the counter.

"I heard that Tessa", Damon retorted.

"Good for you. Words are meant to be heard", Tessa said as she walked.

"Hello Austin ", Tessa smiled as she picked her brother's call.

"I'm home", she heard him say across the line.

"You're home? Since when?", Tessa inquired, a little excited.

"Just an hour ago. Are you working? ", He asked her.

"Y-yeah. I'll be home soon in Austin. Did you come with her?", Tessa asked while awaiting his answer impatiently.

"Yeah. I'm sorry Tess. She wanted to be with Ryan. You know her chemistry with him ", Austin said and she smiled a little.

"Yeah. I'll be home soon okay. "

"Okay Tessa. Bye"

"Bye!", Tessa said and dropped the phone.

"This is your bill Mr. Evans", Tessa said and flashed a smile at one of her favorite customers.

"It seems like it's increasing everyday but I don't mind", the man said with a smile.

"That isn't true Mr. Evans but you're gonna have to pay the bills all the same", Tessa laughed and he gave her his credit card.

"I'm gonna give you two hundred dollar as your tip Tessa"

" Two hundred dollars? Why so much?", She asked, a little surprised.

"You see, my wife just gave birth and I am very happy. I'm gonna rush over to the hospital to see him", he laughed and collected his card.

"Oh! Congratulations Mr. Evans", Tessa said happily.

"Thank you Tess", the man said and stood up to go while Tessa collected the plates and glass.

"Thank you for the tip sir. Thank you so much", she appreciated and kept the money in her pocket

"Don't mention dear. Goodbye", he said and left the hospital hurriedly.

Tessa smiled and took a look in Damon's direction only to find his absence.

"Jerk!", She retorted as she packed the plates with annoyance.

"Tessa! ", Someone called from the counter.

"Yes! I'm on my way", Tessa replied and walked gently with the breakable plates and glasses on the wide tray. "Please excuse me", she muttered to a customer obstructing her way and walked through the space.

Tessa left the shop by six in the evening. She shouldn't be working but only work because of her inconsiderate money tasty uncle. He took a big debt in their name and ran away. It was not long that they heard of his death and had no choice but to pay his debt.

Zavier sat amongst his friends in the club in the VIP section smoking a pipe. He knew that he was trending in the school. That bitch made him trend in a bad way because he was among the sevens. The fucking sevens and she embarrassed him so badly. That pretty mouth of hers will do well in sucking his cock when he is through with her.

He took in another puff of the pipe and blew out the smoke that had formed in his mouth. His eyes stayed on the sexy girls that danced on the pole and then went on his phone that was flashing nonstop.

It was his girlfriend that was calling him. She just can't do without calling him everytime and he finds it so - clingy and annoying.

He won't deny that the girl's best friend was very beautiful with a nice figure. She's not his type but he still wants her. His position on the chair adjusted as his back straightened up. He laid the pipe on the table and stood up to go while holding his phone when a hot girl walked up to him.

He knew her intention but he was not in the mood today. It's so unfortunate. They have a robbery to tend to.

"Guys let's go. It's GO time! ", Zavier raised his voice for all to hear. "Argh!", Simon pulled his hair and removed his dick from the pussy he was fucking. He slapped the girl's ass as she skippered away.

"Where's Damon?", Zavier asked.

"He said to meet us there", Simon replied as he zipped up his pants.

Zavier nodded and announced, "We're going to Orlando's place. I just got news that calls for celebration. Just ready to party tonight guys"

The guys screamed in joy and happiness.

"Fuck out!!!"

*Ding ding*

*Ding dong*

*Ding dong*

Tessa rang the doorbell three times till someone opened the door. "Oh- hi!" Tessa said awkwardly with a sly smile at the sight of her brother's girlfriend, Anna.

"Hi", Anna said and opened the door some more. Tessa walked up the stairs and went into her room directly. She flung her bag on her chair and fell on the bed tiredly. Right now, she is like a pregnant woman that just had her delivery. Tired as hell and feels like sleeping. She rushed to the bathroom and took a shower.

She then made her way to the kitchen but saw Ryan at the entrance in a black suit. Tessa was speechless. This is the first time Ryan would be wearing a suit. "So, how does my baby look?"She heard Anna's excited voice.

"Cute. So handsome", Tessa said and was tempted to take a photo of him. "Please hold on", She said and ran upstairs to take her phone. She ran downstairs with smiles.

"Wow my baby. Mum and Dad are gonna love you more. You're cuter than boss baby" Tessa said and took a picture of him. "Smile Ryan" She demonstrated and took his smiling pictures.

"Okay. Now, put your hands in your pocket"

"No no. Not that pocket silly. I'm sorry", Tessa apologized for calling him silly when he frowned. "This is where I asked you to keep it ", She directed his hand into his front pocket on his trouser and was dumbstruck at his cuteness.

"Oh gosh! ", Tessa took his photo again while blushing. "Okay that's it Anna. Thank you".

"Would you mind sending his photos to me?"Anna asked and she replied positively.

"Thanks"

Tessa uploaded Ryan's pictures on her Whatsapp status with a love emoji. She smiled broadly and chuckled when she saw Kim's message that says she's on her way to steal Ryan.

"What's amusing you baby sis?" Tessa heard Austin's voice and walked up to him to hug him tightly.

She has missed him so much. "What did you buy for me?", She asked while embracing him.

"A lot of goodies but-"

"But?", She freed herself from him and stared at him suspiciously.

"But? What is it? You should know Austin. You should know. She ate the stuff didn't she?" Tessa said with a frown.

"No, she didn't", Austin replied and smiled. "It is safe in my room", he concluded.

"Oh! You're the best Austin", Tessa smiled at him and walked towards his room for the goodies he bought for her.

"Wassup man! How did the operation go?", Orlando yelled from a room. He got no response after some time and came out only to be shocked beyond words. A pistol was pointed at him in the hands of his friend.

"What the fuck are you doing man?"

"No! What the fuck did you do Orlando???!", Zavier yelled and then Orlando laughed.

"What did I do? What the fuck are you talking about dude?", He sat on the couch only to br dragged up by the collar by Zavier.

"What did you do to Lina asshole?!!!", He yelled and punched him.

"You're such a fool Zavier", he chuckled exposing his blooded lips and teeth. "I didn't know that was what you're talking about because I have done that for a long time. We fucked. Oh yeah - We FUCKED! What the fuck are you gonna do about it cause she's pregnant!", Orlando revealed to Zavier. The next thing that happened was the handle of the gun kissing Orlando's temple in an aggressive manner.

'`You bastard!!!"He delivered punches to Orlando's face but at a point Orlando retaliated and a cut was soon on Zavier's lip.

The two engaged in a serious fight and then a gunshot was heard.

"Ah! Geez! How can you do this Z-zavier?!", Orlando spoke with pain as he held his bleeding shoulder in pain.

"You deserve that Orlando", Zavier replied and staggered back to sit on a couch.

"Oh fuck! This hurts."

Orlando smirked and asked, "Will you come to our wedding?"

Zavier glared at him and he smiled at his question. "Fuck you both and fuck your unborn child!", He spat angrily.

Orlando laughed, "She's a nice bitch Zavier. But you're not that nice to have her". His phone suddenly rang out and he showed the ID caller to Zavier who hissed and then he picked his call.

"Hey babe...."

Three minutes later.

"You see", Orlando smirked. "She was just asking about me. She was worried that you killed me hahaha", he wiped his blooded lip and threw a look at Zavier.

"You gotta go man" Orlando stood up and walked to Zavier. "She's on her way here. It won't be nice for her to see you here. I told you what she is scared to tell you already. You gotta get a new bitch man", Orlando spoke hoarsely and pulled Zavier up as he sent him a sharp glare.

"I'm gonna let this slide asshole but the next time something like this happens, I don't know if Lina will make it to your funeral", Zavier spoke to his dismay as he slid the pistol into his back pocket of his trouser.

He walked out of the house as Orlando staggered to the couch and fell on it.

"Fuck! Fuck you Zavier! ", He cursed when he felt pain from his injured arm.
