"It's late. Where are you going?" Zach's phone voice echoed in Amy's room.
She was walking around in her bra and panties while rammaging through her wardrobe while holding her phone in one hand. Her baby bump was small and round as if protruded from her belly while her blond hair elegantly fell down her back.
"I'm visiting someone", she responded simply.
"Who? Who is so important you have to visit them so late at night?" He grumbled.
Amy paused in her movements as she rolled her eyes before smiling. "First of all, it's not even close to 5p.m so stop being dramatic. And secondly, it's Ian. My friend's grandson. He found a place so his grandmother decided to throw him a house warming party."
Stella had gone as far as closing the library an hour early for this. Ian didn't want to throw the party but Stella went ahead to do it herself. She would meet them there since Stella brought it upon herself to make the preparations. But Amy was impressed, it seemed he had been thinking of moving out for a long time he probably saved up to get the place he had just got.
"Dramatic? What man would be calm knowing his wife was going out to meet another man?" He felt he was stretching the matter a little but he still needed to voice his complaints. He didn't like Ian from the moment he heard him visit his wife. And now she was visiting him too.
"Zachery, which part of house warming party did you not understand? Don't be fussy", Amy sighed helplessly. What is wrong with this man? Did he suddenly develop selective hearing?
"I can't help it. This is a man who walked into a single woman's house without any reserve. I don't trust him. And did you take back your keys? Make sure he never does it again", his tone was authoritative when he said his last sentence. But Amy didn't mind it one bit. She finally understood him and she too was uncomfortable by that one visit.
"He won't, his grandma usually has the keys", she said seriously.
"Why does she have them?" His curiosity was evident in his tone.
"There is a reason", Amy glanced down at her belly. The words were at the tip of her tongue but she held back. 'I'm sorry', she mentally spoke to both father and child. She knew how terrible she was being in that moment. She sighed, "I really need to find something."
"Go with what you're wearing right now." He didn't care. Amy would look beautiful in anything she wears, he was so sure of this.
A sly smile stretched on her lips before she brought her phone to her mouth to whisper in a provocative manner. "In a bra and panties? Are you sure about this hubby?"
She heard the sound of a falling object before some scuttling sounds followed. 'Did he drop his phone like she did too the other time?' she thought in amusement.
"Is that what you're wearing right now?" His already deep voice got deeper and huskier as he whispered the question.
She felt some goosebumps grace her skin and a pleasureable shiver down her spine. Her mind to her back to the time she pleasured herself from being turned on by Zach. She shook her head. She had a party to attend. If she continues to talk to him, she might end up staying home doing the obvious with him on the phone. Her pregnancy hormones would only worsen the matter.
"Bye Zachery", she quickly terminated the connection before fanning herself with her hands. "That was dangerous."
On the other hand, Zach jumped out from his seat and punched the air. She had been talking to him in her lingerie? He groaned in frustration! 'I wish I could see that!' He run a hand through his thick dark brown hair in frustration. This woman dared to torment him especially with the distance and she called him hubby. His heart thudded in excitement when he heard her whisper in such a seductive manner. He let out an amused chuckle. 'You'll pay for this Amy, soon', he promised.
Amy took a taxi to the address she had been given. It was a little after six when she finally left the house. It took her a while to find a proper dress that was fit and comfortable enough for her growing belly.
The sky had started to turn dark. There were barely any visible stars as she looked out the window from the back seat. She glanced down at the casserole dish on her lap that had Oven baked chicken fajitas. That's all she could manage to whip up and thought to get him a gift later on.
She looked back out again taking in the view when the taxi passed by a familiar figure going in the opposite direction. The person was walking on the side walk in their signature jeans and hoodie.
"Huh?" She wondered. "But why is she going back?"
"We're here", the driver announced as he pulled up over the curb.
Amy paid the man and got her casserole dish and her purse before walking up to the apartment building. It was not very far from the library or Stella's place if one used a taxi but also a walkable distance. The girl's image stuck in her mind. She could not help but wonder why she had left. Did something happen?
She buzzed for Ian's apartment. A loud and energetic voice belonging to her one and only friend bursted through the intercom.
"This better not be a prank!" Stella snapped.
"Don't worry, I'm terrible at them", Amy responded while smiling.
"Oh! Come on up dear!" She sighed in relief.
Amy was buzzed in and she went in to use the elevator that took her to Ian's floor. She easily found his room number and Stella ushered her in. The moment she stepped in, her nostrils were attacked by the pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen. She took in the place, it was a studio apartment that housed a sofa set, his bed that had been neatly done, kitchen, bathroom and closet.
"What do you think? Nora and Alex got him the sofa set otherwise we would have no place to sit", Stella chuckled.
"It's nice and cozy", Amy expressed her genuine feelings towards the place.
"Yeah, but give it a week and this place will be littered by his socks and boxers and-"
"Grandma", Ian grumbled from behind them.
The door bell went off and Stella went to check who it is. Ian and Amy exchanged some greetings while the older woman buzzed up the people joining them.
"Richard and the girls are coming up", she announced as she walked back to join them. She frowned when she saw Ian awkwardly standing around while Amy looked around the place. "Ian, offer your first guest a drink."
"What would you like to drink?" He asked to which Stella gave him a disapproving gaze.
"Some water will do for now", Amy smiled.
A knock was heard when Stella went to open the door. Ian went to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. The door opened and Richard walked in with Stacy in his arms, his two daughters, Alex and Nora came in after him and to everyone's surprise, Adrianne and her husband were right behind. This would be the first time she would meet the man. But that was not what got Amy's attention. It was the person Adrianne walked in with besides her husband.
"Wow! Did you plan to come over together?" Stella laughed.
"We met downstairs. Ian, I brought you a friend", Adrianne smirked in Ian's direction.
The sound of glass shuttering was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound source to find Ian standing frozen and Amy's glass of water laying in pieces on the ground besides his foot.
"Mona."
