Chapter 2 Trying to get a Married Man to Listen to Me

Lucy hung up the phone and went back into her dark room. She was looking at the test strips to make sure that her pictures would come out perfect.

She checked on her chemicals to make sure that it was ready to develop her film. She was just about to place the paper in one of her trays when her alarm went off. She needed to get ready to meet up with Laxus.

She cut her lamp off and exit the room. She locked the door with a padlock and ascending upstairs to her loft that she lived at when she didn't want to be bothered by her roommate.

She went directly to her bathroom to take a soak and melt away the stress in her shoulders.

She finished with her bath and wrapped a towel around her body. She looked in the body length mirror in her bedroom. She opened up her towel to look at her stomach and see if she noticed any differences. She ran a hand over her still flat stomach and imagined her son or daughter growing inside of her.

She shook her head, wrapped herself up again and made her way to her dresser. She opted to wear her favorite lace purple bra and panties. She went to her closet and fished around the garments she has worn on numerous dates in the past.

'I need something that is sexy but says that I don't want sex. I have really risque clothes.' Lucy laughed to herself.

She settled on her favorite dark purple dress that came to her knees and had thick straps that had a sweetheart neckline. She found her favorite black Mary Jane heels that gave her height and a nice butt.

She applied eyeliner and lipgloss to keep it simple. She did a braid bang and put the rest of her hair in a bun and leaving some strands to be around her face.

She looked at her text messages from Laxus to check the time he wanted to meet.

Lax: Avenue 623 7:30

She figured that since it was 6:45 and if she left now then she would be there by 7:15p.m. She got her silver clutch, creme colored peacoat and checked to make sure she had the essentials. She made sure to have the pregnancy test the hospital did for her in her purse. She was 100% sure that he wasn't going to believe her.

She really wanted a drink but didn't want to put any damage towards her child.

'Already protective of this little guy.'

Stepping out of her house/business, she took a deep breath 'here goes nothing,' and entered into the waiting taxi car.

Lucy arrived at Avenue 623, an upscale Latin theme lounge that provided light music and five star quality Latin food. When you enter you are given a complimentary glass of wine, margarita or champagne.

Lucy denied hers and asked for reservations under Dreyar.

The hostess checked the reservations and escorted Lucy through the dining room to a private terrace area. The restaurant had closed the shutters that are usually open during warmer months and had heaters on to keep patrons warm and still have an outdoor feel.

When Lucy entered into the terrace Laxus was talking to another woman that was a brunette. They were laughing and feeding each other with seared scallops and polenta cups with braised beef in red sauce. Lucy was taken aback as to why there was another woman there. She pushed her shoulders back and walked to the table.

Laxus and the brunette woman stopped feeding each other when Lucy came to the table. Laxus looked her up and down and held a hand out to show her to sit down. Lucy pulled out her own chair and placed the linen napkin cloth over her lap.

"Ma'am can I get you something to drink?" the hostess asked before leaving.

"Just a water, thank you," Lucy told her and then faced Laxus and looked at the third wheel.

'Or am I the third wheel?'

Laxus popped in another polenta cup and smirked at the two women.

"How rude of me Lucy, this is my friend, Cana. Cana this is my other friend I was telling you about Lucy."

Cana looked at Lucy and eyed her up and down.

"I've been with worse. She has big boobs. I like," Cana said after taking another big gulp of her alcoholic beverage.

"I don't think I want to know what you guys are talking about," Lucy said after getting over her initial shock.

"Threesome sweetheart, me, you and our new friend Cana. I would start out watching and then join. Isn't that what you was wanting to talk about?"

"Wait, what? How did you even piece that up together? Laxus we had sex twice and never had I mention a threesome as something I wanted to do!"

"Oh Lulu-," Cana started to say drunkenly but was interrupted by Lucy correcting her.

"Whatever, Luccyy. Live a little, drink more, and have unrestrained fun in the process," Cana giggled after she refilled her glass.

"I-I can't do this. This was a mistake. I think I am going to go home. Good night Laxus. Don't worry I will never call you again," Lucy said while trying to get up and leave the table.

Laxus got up to stop Lucy from leaving the table.

"Just tell me what you wanted to say and then you can leave."

"It's a private matter. Can she leave?" Lucy thumbed to Cana that was drinking Laxus' beer.

"Hey Cana. I think you need to go and get us some more bottles of wine and tequila."

"You are my kind of man, Laxus. I will be right back! Don't do anything I wouldn't do," Cana winked and left the couple at the table.

"Ok, we are alone. What is it? You don't have some STD or something? Are you ill?"

"I'm not ill nor do I have a STD."

"Well, what could it possibly be? You can't be pregnant, that's impossible."

Lucy visibly stiffened at the word pregnant. She turned her head as being ashamed that she knew her baby was more than likely going to be raised in a single-parent household.

'Already starting out crappy. Sorry baby,' Lucy thought to herself.

"Why would it be impossible?"

"The pull-out method alongside my condom should hold. Plus aren't you on the pill or something?"

"No I am not and guess what jerk, I am pregnant. It's your kid because you are the only guy I slept with during the time of conception."

"You lying bitch! I can't be that baby's father. I used protection. You just trying to pin that kid on me because you see that I have a pretty decent lifestyle and I could take care of the rugrat and in turn be taking care of your ass. Not going to happen sister."

Lucy wanted to slap this man so bad. She wasn't desparate. She had her own business and her own place to stay. She just wanted the emotional support that a male counterpart gives to their female. She wanted him to experience the miracle they created together but fuck him.

She wiped the single tear that she promised herself would only shed. She dug around her purse until she found the paper.

"What the hell are you looking for?"

She found the paper and pressed it onto his folded arms.

"This asshole. Proof that when we had sex your little soldiers found my egg and decided it was a good idea to procreate together."

"So you want money to abort it or something?"

Lucy backed up a little and clasped her hand around her flat stomach. Angry and appalled tears ran down her cheeks.

"I don't need you to do a damn thing for me ok. I can handle everything. I thought you should be aware that you would have a son or daughter running around with your DNA that will be loved and cherished. Who will never know you. That paper there will be the only evidence you have that your child, sorry my child exist. Good riddance. Delete my number because yours has already been forgotten," Lucy dabbed at her eyes and walked out of the restaurant.

She was proud of herself for not balling while walking out of the restaurant. She just needed to make it to her house and she can let it all out.

She was replaying everything that was going on in her head. She was losing control of her tears and wasn't paying attention to where she was going. She accidently bumped into an individual who dropped some take-out bags in their hand.

The person looked up and the street light showed who Lucy bumped into.

"Lucy?"
