Chapter
Connor
I drove off to MAA's company after Skylar left.
I know I had her the moment I mentioned her scholarship.
She had left shortly after I gave her my number to give me a call by Monday.
I know she'll agree to the deal that's why I'm driving to the MAA'S to sign the documents.
I got out of the car and practically ran into the company and headed straight to their office.
"No sir,you can't go in there.."
I ignored the receptionist and barge into the office.
Mr Clark turned to me surprised, then he gave his client an apologetic look.
"Sorry Sir,can you please step out for a minute?"
The client nodded and walk out.
"Mr Connor, please have a seat"
I sat down"I already have a baby, my girlfriend is pregnant so can I sign it now?"
He laughed"I'm sorry Conner,it isn't stated like that here. Infact, there was something we missed yesterday.
It said,you have to get married and have a child.
And not just any marriage,a church wedding, we will be there and after your wife gives birth, we will have to do a DNA test on your child to make sure it's yours"
I was glaring at the man the man by the time he finished.
I clenched my fist tightly to avoid punching him.
Did he just say I have to get married?
Aghh damnit!!
Father why did you do this to me? Why?
I have everything I need, everything except that document.
And now father wants me to get married.
I had stormed out of Mr Clark's office earlier not able to say anything.
I took off my clothes and was about going to shower when my phone rang.
I was hoping it was Skylar but was disappointed when I saw my mom's number.
"Hello Mom" I answered
"Conner my baby,how are you doing?"
I sighed"I'm not a child anymore mother,what do you want?" I asked knowing why she called.
"I need money Connor,I need to change my wardrobe,my nails are now ugly and none of my boyfriends are willing to give me money"
I rubbed on my head, yeah that's my mom Veronica. She can spend more than a million in a day purchasing rubbish.
I had to close up her accounts when I noticed it's getting too much. She decided to live her life the way she wanted after father died.
"I sent you money two days ago mother"
"I've spent it already son, send another one or I'll come pay you a visit"
"No.. don't!"I sighed"I'll send it soon mother"
God this woman would be the death of me.
Skylar
I walked into our apartment with tears in my eyes.
I never expected this from him. Never knew he'd want a child.
The bathroom door opened revealing Taylor, she had a towel wrapped around herself, her hair dripping wet.
"Hey, where did you go? I didn't see you after school"
"He wants a child Taylor, a child! For a million dollars".
"Awwwn come here"she said hugging me.
I cried on her arms feeling helpless"What do I do Tay? Of all things he could have possibly asked, I never expected this."
"It's okay Sky, I understand.."She pulled back and dried my eyes"It might not be as bad as you think though.
You guys will make beautiful babies and fall in love then live happily ever after"
I walked past her "Come on Taylor!! This is reality not some fairytale.
Stuffs like that only happens in movies. How would you feel if you're asked to give birth this way?
All my life, I've kept myself hoping for my Mr Right to come, get married before giving birth but now all those dreams are shattered, all in one day!"
I was shouting but didn't care, I just want a way out of this mess.
"I'm sorry"she said after a while.
I shook my head and headed to the bathroom. I showered that night crying.
I cried about everything...
How my life is going to change drastically..
I didn't know how much time I spent in there, it was Taylor who walked into the bathroom and led me out.
#Monday
I paced round the room that evening thinking about how to start.
I remember his words clearly that day. "Do not wait for me to come pick you up, make sure you call me before nine."
I stared at the time,it was past eight.
I chewed on my nails oh God..what to do. It's time already.
I kept pacing till the clock struck nine on the dot. I quickly took my phone and dialed his number.
Connor Satiago speaking"he answered at first ring.
Um...hi.. it's me Skylar.
Skylar... lovely hearing from you.. I'm guessing you have my answer?
I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath.
Yes,I agree with your terms.
He was silent at first then...
Excellent choice Skylar, get ready, tommorow is our wedding.
Then he hung up.
"What?!?!!! What does he mean wedding?"
That wasn't part of the deal aghh!!
