MORE THAN A SECRETARY

The next couple of days and week was pretty much amusing for Katrina, and it was all because of Lucas, the dude turned to someone she has never seen before, he practically lived with her now as he was there every morning afternoon, and evening, he only leaves to sleep and before she wakes up he is at her house again, right now he was here and chatting with Jordan who took a sick leave to tend to his after surgery, it wasn’t really much of surgery though, he had his wisdom tooth pulled out, he can talk fine now but he took two weeks off and the fact that the owner of the company is here and not saying anything.

“Are you both not going home? When did you two become besties and why do you choose to meet at my house?”

Katrina asked standing with her hands on her waist, her baby bump which has become more obvious as the days passes shut up.

“You should be happy we are here to keep you company,”

Jordan said

“I don’t need company, Lucas? Don’t you have a company to run?”

“No, right now I am on leave,”

He answered smiling.

“What? You too?”

“Yes, I went through a lot of stress recently and my doctor recommended it,”

“Oh, okay but don’t you have somewhere else to be? Why are you lazing around someone’s house?”

“I will rather be here because my love is here,”

“Oh gosh, cringe,”

Jordan said covering his ears which made Lucas laugh, Katrina wanted the both of them out of her way, they don’t let her do shit and it was getting annoying before she attempts to do anything they collect it from her and do it, she has told them more than a few times that she was pregnant, not sick but they don’t listen.

“Honestly, I want the both of you out of my house now,”

She said but none of them even listened to her, she had the sudden urge to go get cold water and pour on them, Lucas, Lucas fucking Evans was sitting on the floor in her living room with her best friend watching a movie and eating take out, he even helped her do the dishes when he came in earlier, nothing prepared her for this kind of Lucas, she never thought he would like this.

“Babe, just let it be okay,”

“Tish, I want you guys out,”

“We are not going anywhere, we don’t have anywhere to go,”

Jordan replied, she felt like smacking him on the head, he was the one giving Lucas mind.

“Fine stay all you want,”

She resulted, sitting down, she didn’t even like the movie they were watching, the doorbell rang a few moments later and she got up to answer it, she wasn’t expecting anyone, maybe they ordered something again she thought opening the door, her mom stood by the door as her dad walked up to it.

“Mom, Dad, I didn’t know you guys were coming over why didn’t you call me?”

Katrina asked in shock, she hadn’t been expecting for them to be the one, and Lucas fucking Evans was in her house, this was bad, if only Lucas had left when she told him to, this wasn’t the way she wanted her parents to find out who the father of her baby was.

“Are you going to let us in or not?”

Her mom asked sternly.

“Of course come in,”

She said cursing under her breath, Lucas never listens, well he is gonna get what he was looking for, Jordan saw them first and yelled.

“Shoot,”

He got off where he was seated to welcome them, they exchanged greetings and hugs, Katrina’s eyes went to Lucas who sat awkwardly he didn’t know her parents so she couldn’t blame him, but he did greet though and her mom turned to her as if asking her to introduce them.

“Mom, Dad, this is Lucas Evans, I use to work for him,”

“Oh, it’s your ex-boss no wonder I thought he was familiar, what is he doing here are you guys friends? I thought he fired you,”

Her dad said as he sat down.

“No dad, I quit, he didn’t fire me,”

Katrina corrected, hoping that her parents won’t ask any further questions but of course, that didn’t happen because her mom’s next questions were directed at Lucas.

“Young man, my daughter no longer works for you so what are you to her that you are at her house, or are you Jordan’s boyfriend?”

“Mom!!”

“No, Mrs. Jones the dude is not my type, I can do better,”

Jordan said and both Katrina and Lucas turned to him.

“What? It’s true,”

He added rolling his eyes.

“So what’s he doing here,”

“Mom, can me n***

“I am here because of Katrina,”

Lucas cut in.

“Oh, I see, over to you,”

Her mom said to her dad.

“I am just gonna leave, see you later Kat, it was nice seeing you, dad, and mom,”

Jordan said hugged her mom and left leaving just her, her parents, and Lucas who was currently seated awkwardly, she kind of found the whole thing funny, who knew that Lucas could be scared, he looked up at her and she felt pity for him.

“It’s will be fine,”

She mouthed and he nodded as if he understood.

Her dad requested water and she hurriedly ran to fetch it, when she returned they were interrogating him and he looked so helpless.

“What’s your plan with my daughter, I am assuming the baby is yours?”

Her dad asked.

“Yes, it’s mine, I love your daughter, and if she lets me I plan on spending the rest of my life with her,”

He said, she felt the sincerity in his voice and smiled at him but he wasn’t looking at her he was facing her dad.

“Does that mean you are going to marry her?”

“Dad!!!”

“I am not talking to you Katrina, let the young man speak,”

Her dad scolded and Katrina could only shut up and watch, again if Lucas had left when she told her to he would not have been in this position.

“Yes, sir, if she lets me and if you give your permission,”

“Oh, but my permission is not needed here seeing as she is heavily pregnant already,”

Dad said pointing at her stomach.

“I am sorry about that sir, it wasn’t our intention, it just sort of happened,”

“Are you saying it was a mistake?”

“No, that’s not what I mean sir, I mean we didn’t plan for it but it wasn’t a mistake, sir I love your daughter and would marry her right now if she lets me,”

He answered turning to her for the first time, she just smiled weakly as she was out of words.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“So Katrina? When were you planning to bring him to us?”

Her dad asked facing her.

“Dad, the thing is,”

“What is? We have been asking for his identity especially your mom has been asking but you didn’t say anything and didn’t tell us he was even around and was ready to marry you, we thought you were going to be a single mother, do you know how hard that was for us to accept,”

“I am sorry dad,”

“No, it’s fine, at least we know him now, and we know he is responsible, whatever you decide we will support you,”

“Thanks, Dad, I love you,”

She said wiping away tears that gathered in her eyes,”

“I love you too,”

“Now, it became emotional, you both don’t make me cry and young man take care of my baby,”

Her mom said, she went over and hugged her closer.

“I will ma’am,”

Lucas said and both her parents smiled, the awkward moment was gone, Lucas looked more relaxed than he did earlier.

“We will be on our way now, we are seeing a friend around here and decided to drop by, I hope you come around the house soon, both of you,”

Her dad said as both he and her mom stood up, Lucas did the same too.

“Of course sir, thank you very much for your understanding,”

“It’s nothing, so long as my daughter is happy,”

Her dad said and Katrina walked with them to the door.

“You can go back inside,”

Her mom said when she followed them out of the house.

“Okay, mom, dad, thanks again,”

She said and they walked off, she stood there for a moment before going back into her house, she met Lucas sitting with his face down.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I am fine, just overwhelmed,”

He said raising his head.

“Me too, I wasn’t expecting them,”

“But it’s cool that we talked about, I had it in mind but I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t want to rush you,”

“You are not rushing me, Lucas, you can tell me things, I won’t lash out on you I promise,”

She said walking up to where he sat and sitting next to him, she held his hand and he covered hers with his other hand and stared at her.

“Thank you, Katrina, I don’t know his I deserve you,”

“That’s my line,”

“No, it’s not, you are worth more than I can ever describe, it’s a privilege to have you as mine,”

“Same Lucas, same,”

“Does that mean you love me too?”

“Of course I do, I never unloved you,”

“You didn’t say,”

“I am saying it now, I love you, Lucas, I have loved you for let’s say over sis years now,”

She revealed touching his face.

“What? Are you for real? Do you mean all those years? Can’t be true,”

“Oh, but it is true Lucas, you don’t know how hard it was to keep my feelings to myself, you wondered why I almost quit right? Well you were going to be married and I didn’t know how to deal with it, so I typed my resignation letter but I couldn’t give it to you because I liked working for you even though you were unbearable sometimes, so I didn’t submit it and as it went you guys broke up later, I am sorry but I felt hopeless,”

She revealed.

“I don’t even know what to say, I feel stupid for not seeing it,”

“You are not stupid, I am just good at hiding,”

“Please don’t hide from me,”

“Of course not anymore, the worst moments of my life was watching go to different women and knowing you would never be mine, even after Loren, I sort of gave up but then you asked me to play your girlfriend, and Jordan said to get down with you, and you know the rest,”

“Yes, thinking about it now, I kind of have a special feeling for you too, even though I can’t say I was in love with you but I find myself doing shits I won’t do if it were someone else for you,”

“I know,”

He let out a breath and pulled her up so that she was straddling him.

“I love you baby girl now and forever,”

“I love you too,”

She replied.

“I know it’s not time yet, but I hope I get a favorable answer when I ask,”

He whispered.

“Depend on what you ask,”

She replied playing with his hair.

“I love you,”

“I live you more,”

“God I am never going to get tired of hearing you say those words and saying them back to you,”

“Me too,”

She replied and he was kissing her, she didn’t know just how much she missed his kiss, his touch on her, pregnancy made her extra sensitive that when he touched her, her body responded instantly.

“I want you, Kat,”

He whispered between kisses.

“I want you too,”

She replied, he carried her into her bedroom where he made sweet love to her, reminding her just how much he could do to her and just how well they fitted in bed, this time it was even better because this time they were both in love, it wasn’t just sex, it was more than that and she couldn’t contain just how happy she was, she shed a few tears, after it was over he held her in his arms and whispered.

“I love you, Katrina,”

“I love you too,”

She replied burying her face in his chest, feeling safe and whole around him, her happy days just began…
