"I swear I can't feel my breast any more. For a mouth as small as yours... You suck more than your father!" Autumn groaned

"What do you mean!" Edward yelled frustratedly and I snickered

"Sorry. I didn't mean to say that out loud" Autumn smiled

"Only one Job! Sit and breastfeed Joanna" Edward picked his child from his wife, while I cleaned up the living room

They discharged her the next day and I decided to stay with her for the rest of the week before I go back to work.

"Thank you for making out time unlike your parents" Autumn said and I just rolled my eyes.

We all know how busy our parents can be and it's funny that she hoped they'll change.

I heard that my mum resumed work a week later after giving birth to Jason and I. So it's nothing new.

"Want anything from the store?" I picked her car keys from the table

"A new breast for Joanna? Because I don't think I'm ready to sit for close to an hour breastfeeding her"

"You complain a lot. I'm sorry in advance, Edward" I laughed and shut the door behind me.

I got into the car and drove down to the store to get eating things. I swear, Edward will get it hot from Autumn once I leave them. I'll do well to come relieve him off the stress some weekends. I can't wait to have my niece over at my place for holiday. She looks like a calm child

My phone beeped and I don't bother to check because I know it's the same asshole that has been disturbing for two days now

My phone rang immediately after the beep and I rolled my eyes at his desperate attitude.

I came down from the car and locked it before entering inside to shop. I walked round different shelves picking out everything Edward wrote in the list for me but I just couldn't find one thing. Maybe they're out of stock or maybe I just can't find it.

I bet they'll live without that particular item. I turned only to bump into someone.

"Oh my goodness! I'm going to scatter this shop!" I panicked

"Not if my grip is firm" the person who held me tight from falling into the opposite shelf said.

I balanced myself on my feet properly and removed my hair from my face, so I could see my hero

"It's you!"

"Hi you!" I smiled at the guy I met at the eatery the other day

"You never called again after we talked that week" He smiled back

"Sorry, I didn't know we were both waiting for me to call again. Sorry for bumping into you" I arranged my hair and held my basket firmly

"Oh it's fine. You look stressed. What are you even doing in this city.. I'm sorry I didn't call back too.. I was pretty occupied but I planned on calling. I promise" He took the basket from me and escorted me to the reception desk

"Oh that's fine. No need to apologize. Money first. I came to see my sister who just gave birth to a little princess." I said cheerfully

"Oh that's beautiful. I came for a business meeting. I'll be done with it and I'll be going back next week. Mind if we go together?" He asked

"Uhhh... I'll let you know if I need company" I shrugged

"I totally understand. I'll text you and I promise to find you when we get back. We should hang out more often. What do you say?" He looked at me with a hopeful stare

I sighed. "That's nice. I could use a male friend in my life after all"

"Beautiful. So I'll just pay for this and make sure you get into your car safely okay?" He smiled and i waited

We walked down to the car and he helped me put everything in the backseat and he confirmed if he still had my contact and we bid goodbye

It was a beautiful experience and I really can't wait to see more of him. Maybe I really do need to loosen up.

I finally picked my ringing phone and got welcomed with scolding.

"Don't you dare scold me like I'm your child. I have all the right to go anywhere I want and also without explaining shit to you, Richard"

"Oh really? I don't want to find out that I wasted my money because what if you ran away without doing my job?" He yelled

"Be rest assured that I got it covered. To think you care! I will be back soon and I'll make sure all this will be over soon too. Thank you for calling and goodbye" I hang up before he could say anything and tossed my phone at the backseat.

Arrogant gender!

Such guts!

I drove into my sister's garage and packed everything I bought out of the car.

"I am not wearing that. My stomach is still big!" Autumn cried

"It's just for a month baby and you'll be fit again. Besides, you look great on the gown baby" Edward held out a red gown for her

"What's the subject matter of this drama this time" I groaned

"I look fat!" Autumn cried

"Seriously now, sis?" I groaned louder. "What makes you think so?"

"Look. Extra flesh!" She yelled

"You can workout baby girl. I'll go with you but after Joana gets big a bit" Edward suggested

"You look great and in few weeks, you'll bounce back. Just rest and dont think much. C'mon! You're stressing your husband. I'd dump you if I was him because I think your problem is much" I stocked everything in the cupboard

"Oh Goodness. I didn't even think about my recent behaviors. I'm so sorry baby for nagging a lot. It's just the hormones." She ran to hug him and he patted her back

"Where's my child?" I asked the couple

"Sleeping" Edward said

"After Sucking breast for the 10th time! Don't forget to add that!" Autumn frowned

So much for trying to change. Lol

"Please. Cut her some slack miss" I said, heading upstairs t

o sleep.

I need to rest and look less stressed so that another person doesn't talk about my look again.
