Now and Forever

"Finally! You said you'd be here twe- uh, what is she doing here?" Excuse me?

"First of all; that's non of your business and second of all; you do not to talk to me like that, do you understand? You lost that privilege a long time ago." Alexander pushed passed Leila which made her scoff and cross her arms.

Okay hold up... when did this happen?! And why didn't I get to hear such good news?

"I lose track of a small % of the company's money and forgot to book a meeting and now I'm suddenly at the top of the people you hate list?" Leila then turned around to face him to which he just looked like he wanted to strangle the living hell out of her.

Oh how I'd love to see that...

"If you call 70% a small percentage of profit loss and forgetting to book a meeting with a multi million dollar company something that wouldn't take you to the very top of my 'hate list', then I don't know what-"

"I told you I was sorry a thousand times!" Okay, I'm starting to believe they think I'm not here anymore. I just stood there awkwardly, suddenly taking interest in the city view behind Alexander.

"Well I don't care. So, What was so urgent I had to come here at one am?" He asked and sat down on his chair, putting his elbows on the desk and intertwining his fingers together.

"About that, did she really have to come?" Leila crossed her arms and jolted her head in my direction without actually looking at me. How rude!

"Hey! I-"

"Like I said, Amelia being here is none of your concern. And again, what was so urgent it couldn't be said on the phone, Leila?" Alexander cut me off and looked Leila dead in the eyes. If it made me shiver, how about her?

She was quiet.

Like she didn't know what to say quiet.

She looked down to the floor like she was ashamed. Wait, was she ashamed? Alexander must have noticed this too because he put his palms on the table and stood up, slowly.

"You. Have. Got. To be kidding me. There wasn't anything urgent was there?" She nodded her head 'no' slowly, still looking at the floor. "Leila, you dragged me- and Amelia, out of bed, at 1 am in the morning for no reason?" He was oddly calm which made him the more scarier.

"Yeah well I didn't tell you bring along your pregnant wife with you now did I?!" Leila burst out and stomped her foot on the ground like she was a five year old.5

"She's not-"

"Wait- is that what this is about? You're being a bitch right now because you think I'm pregnant?" She turned around to look at me and her facial expression softened, just a little bit, but softened, "wait, you're not pregnant?" She uncrossed her arms and faced me fully.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, no, I'm not pregnant." Her face lit up like she was relieved and I just looked at her like her change in emotion did not affect me one bit.

"Wait, really?" She bit her bottom lip, trying so hard not to smile and turned to face Alexander as if looking for confirmation and when he nodded, her lips broke into a huge grin.

This girl makes me sick.

"So you mean to tell me.. you lost 7 million dollars worth of profit, 'forgot' to book a meeting with Kordin Inc because you thought Amelia was pregnant?" Her smile was immediately wiped off her face and she was suddenly interested in the floor again, making Alexander's eye twitch in agitation.

"Oh and if I may ask, what is it to you that my wife is pregnant or not?" When Leila flinched at the word 'wife', it finally hit me like a truck.

"Huh.. Don't you see it?" Leila looked up from the floor and Alexander looked at me, confusion stretched across his face, "how didn't I see this earlier?" I tilted my head to the side chuckled bitterly, "what?"

"It's so obvious-"

"Spit it-"

eyes widened in surprise and Leila stood there like she
