MATCHMAKING BABY - CHAPTER 3&4
Sebastian held her right before she could hit the floor.
Tonia scoffed and looked away.
“why is he trying to care for her? Of course, she’s the one with the good luck charm” she said to herself and looked back at them
“what do I do with her?” Sebastian asked as he held Vanessa
“stick her down your throat” Tonia replied sarcastically
Sebastian ignored her and carefully took Vanessa to the bed. He laid her down and checked her body temperature
“she’ll be fine. It’s just the pregnancy symptoms” Tonia said. She was getting irritated by his caring actions.
“let me call a doctor” he said and wanted to pick his phone from the bedside table
“let me be honest with you Sebastian. Vanessa is just playing around with you. The baby is not yours” Tonia uttered with a serious face. She figured out Sebastian really cared about the baby and so wouldn’t be able to convince him to reject it. The only way she could make him take his mind off the child was if she told him it wasn’t his
“I don’t understand” he said and stood waiting for more explanation
“Vanessa is my best friend and we don’t keep secrets from each other. The baby isn’t yours”
“you don’t keep secrets from each other?” Sebastian asked and Tonia nodded
“how come she didn’t know you and I have been screwing?”
Tonia couldn’t reply that. She scoffed and looked away
“even if what you say is true, I don’t care. She said it’s mine and I would take care of the baby. I don’t have to believe a jealous friend” Sebastian said and walked out
“what? Did he just call me a jealous friend?” she asked herself and scoffed again
“Eish! This is all your fault!” she said and hit Vanessa on her arm. She got off the bed and went to the bathroom because she felt she needed to wash her face before she murders her best friend in a man’s bed.
When she got back to Sebastian’s room, a maid was cleaning up the mess Vanessa made.
“where is Sebastian?” she asked
“he went to keep the other lady in another room” she replied and Tonia looked at the bed. Vanessa was no longer there. She sighed in relief. She had thought he was gonna let Vanessa stay in his room and she would have to leave. She went back to the bed and sat down. She was just wearing her undies and she wondered if he would still want to sleep with her.
She decided to at least wait for him and see what he was going to do. She laid in his bed and covered herself. About thirty minutes later, he came back and went straight to the bathroom. He showered and came back with a towel. He had placed Vanessa in another room and had a maid attend to her. She was undressed by the maid and neatly tucked in the bed.
Tonia who was looking at Sebastian as he came out of the bathroom couldn’t help but feel even more jealous that Vanessa was the one who got pregnant for him.
“he’s rich and hot. Why wasn’t I the one who got pregnant? Vanessa is always so lucky.” she thought to herself
“why are you staring?” Sebastian asked
“nothing” she said and looked away. He climbed into the bed and faced her
“so you’re still in for it?” he asked and Tonia didn’t answer. She was actually happy he still wanted what she wanted
“look sorry if you’re pissed off but there’s no way I’m going to reject what’s rightfully mine”
Tonia gasped and laughed
“rightfully yours? Did you say rightfully yours? Wow, you really think that baby is yours huh? Vanessa doesn’t sleep with less than four men in a month. Anyone else could be the father”
“it takes once to make a baby Tonia. And my one time with her is enough to make a baby”
“what if one of the other guys she slept with is the father!”
“what if I’m the guy? You know what? End of discussion. We’re never going to talk on this subject again. I won’t let a jealous friend advise me” he said and turned over to the other side. He switched off the lights and laid down to sleep.
Tonia couldn’t believe he had called her a jealous friend. She wanted to call him a jerk but she decided not to. She was also glad he had said they were not going to discuss the baby again. The ‘again’ he mentioned gave her hope. To her that meant there would be a next time for them but they won’t talk on that subject anymore.
“Sebastian I’m sorry” she said and moved closer to him on the bed. He didn’t move even after he felt her skin touch his.
“I was just trying to protect you. I’m sorry” she said again and kissed his arm. He smiled and turned on the lights
“you’re forgiven” he said with a smile. He just wanted to have a woman that night and when he turned off the lights, he realized it was too early to sleep and that Tonia might leave angrily so he began to pray that she’d stay.
*
Vanessa woke up few minutes after midnight. She needed to use the bathroom so she stepped on the floor. She noticed the floor was different from hers. It was way smoother. She opened her eyes wider and even rubbed them for clearer vision. That was when she saw that she was in a strange room.
“where am I?” she asked herself aloud. The only light in the room was from the lamp stand. She turned on the second one by the other side of the bed and the room became a lot brighter. She located the lights switch and turned on the lights in the room. She sighed in relief as the room shone brightly. She h@??d to sleep in darkness.
Vanessa still didn’t know where she was. She sat on the bed and scratched the itchy spot in her hair. She looked at the mirror opposite her and her eyes widened when she saw that she was wearing nothing but her P@?tî??. Nothing else. She jerked to her feet immediately
“oh my God! Oh my goodness! Who brought me here! Who dare to kidnap a Vista! Do you know who I am? Do you know my brothers in the American military? Do you know the people I’ve met? You dare try to rape me? You drvgged me? You’re going to suffer! You’re going to pay for this!” she screamed at the top of her voice.
She angrily walked to the door, ready to break it down. But when she bent the handle, the door opened.
“which kidnapper is so dumb to leave the door open?” she asked herself. She popped her head out and looked into the bright hall way.
She popped her head back in and closed the door. She really needed to use that bathroom. She hurried into the bathroom and emptied her bowels then came back to the bedroom. She saw her bra and other clothes folded neatly on the sofa in the room. She walked there and wore only the bra. That was when she remembered that she was in Sebastian’s house. She had thrown up and probably fainted.
“if I’m in his house then I’m going to find something to eat. All that yelling has made me hungry” she said and left the room. She hurried through the hallway and found her way to the stairs that led to the living room. She climbed down it and went to the fridge in the dinning room. She opened it and smiled. Then she began to empty it.
“what are you doing?” Sebastian asked. He had come down because he wasn’t sleeping and needed to drink water after a session with Tonia who was already fast asleep.
Vanessa paused as she was trying to pick a soda can from the fridge. She retrieved her hand and slowly turned around to see Sebastian.
Sebastian laughed when he saw what she had in her hands. A bunch of bananas, two beef burgers, one bag of bacon, a bag of Chinese food and a green apple hanging out of her mouth.
She stood still facing Sebastian. He reached out and pulled the apple from her mouth. The part she had dug her teeth into that held the apple to her mouth got bitten off so Sebastian only held a bitten apple.
“what are you doing?” he asked again. Instead of Vanessa to answer, she began to chew the piece of apple in her mouth. She then turned and picked the soda can she wanted to pick earlier. She walked past Sebastian to the dining table and dropped the items then sat down and opened the Chinese food
“why taking my food without my permission?” he asked and she looked at him
“it’s not for me. It’s for your baby” she answered and turned her face back to the food
“baby’s don’t eat this much” he said and began to pick them up
“drop them! Drop them now” she said and began to pull them back from his hands
“let go!” he barked but she didn’t even flinch
“no! You let go!” she said in return and pulled harder. The soda can they both held slipped off her hands and he was still exerting force on it. Since her own force was minused from it, he fell down and the Chinese food poured over his face. He closed his eyes immediately.
“good for you” she said and began to pick the other things on the floor. Sebastian sat up and use his shirt to clean off his eyes then he opened them to see Vanessa picking the items from the floor.
She dropped them on the table and forgot that they had really shook the soda can. She opened it to drink and immediately it burst out into her face. She screamed and fell backwards
Sebastian burst into laughter as Vanessa hit the floor.
“that was so hilarious! Hahaha, do it again! Do it again!” he said and Vanessa felt embarrassed. She started to cry and Sebastian paused.
“is she crying because I’m laughing at her or she’s crying because of the fall?” he asked himself aloud
Vanessa stood up and ran out. She ran to the stairs and hurriedly climbed up. She went to the room she woke up in and began to cry more. Few minutes later, she was fast asleep and woke up in the morning
She wore her dress from the previous day and walked to the living room. She was hungry. She didn’t get to eat when she wanted. She felt her back ache from where her body hit the floor and she sat down on the couch.
“good morning ma’am” the maid who had attended to her greeted her. She didn’t know her though
“morning. Can I please get something to eat before I start going?” she asked
“yes ma’am. What would you like?” she asked
“uhmm some noodles. Hot noodles. Make sure it’s very delicious”
“yes ma’am.” the maid replied and left. Few minutes later, Tonia walked down the stairs with Sebastian’s T-shirt. She smirked as she saw Vanessa sitting down on the sofa.
“why are you still here?” she asked and sat down like she was the mistress of the house
“Tonia” Vanessa called
“I thought he had you leave last night” she said and blew air on her fingers
“why didn’t you tell me you were sleeping with him?” Vanessa asked
“must I tell you everything?” she asked and flipped her hair. She was really acting like she owned the place. She actually wanted Vanessa to feel bad for once, that she wouldn’t get wh@??ver she wanted.
“wow. Okay. I don’t have a problem with that” Vanessa said and looked away from Tonia
“so when are you going to get rid of that… thing… In your tummy?” Tonia asked and Vanessa gasped
“thing?” she asked
“yes of course. The last time I checked, you were going to have it flushed out before you made a disgusting mess in Sebastian’s room”
“are you talking to me right now?”
“I don’t see anyone else in the room”
“gosh Tonia. Well, I’m still going to get rid of it” she said
“better. Because I won’t let Sebastian accept what’s not his”
“excuse me?”
“oh come on friend, you and I both know you’re framing Sebastian up saying the baby is his. And that’s because of his money”
Vanessa laughed
“money? Did you say money? Are you sure you’re the one speaking right now? Because the Tonia I know will not speak such nonsense even when she’s drunk”
Tonia stood up to her feet
“are you insulting me?” she asked
“ there’s a difference between insult and fact but if you see that as an insult then you’re definitely a fool I never suspected you to be” Vanessa said and Tonia covered the space between them and slapped Vanessa. She gasped and stood up to her feet too
“don’t you dare insult me ever again! Now get out of this house you whóre!” Tonia yelled
The maid who had come to call Vanessa to the dining table was shocked at the scene she was watching and stood afar off with her mouth ajar.
“you’re a crazy b1tch!” Vanessa said and began to pull Tonia’s hair. Tonia began to do the same and soon both of them were on the floor groaning and pulling each other’s hair.
The maid ran up the stairs and turned towards Sebastian’s room. Luckily he was coming out too.
“hey what’s the rush?” he said as she almost bumped into him. He wasn’t the harsh type of master. He was cool and calm but despite his love for women, he never harassed any of them segzually. He preferred his dirty club girls.
“sir, your… Uhm the two ladies. They’re fighting downstairs” she said
“fighting?” he asked and she nodded. He began to run downstairs immediately.
Vanessa was on top of Tonia when he arrived. He quickly pulled her away and she struggled to go back to fighting with Tonia
“leave me! Let me deal with her! Let me pull out her hair!” she yelled
The maid held her hand while Sebastian went to pull Tonia up from the floor. Her face was filled with red marks from Vanessa’s nails. Both their hairs were ruffled and they were both breathing heavily but it was quite obvious that it was Tonia who received more pain from the fight. One would think she’s the innocent one and that was exactly what Sebastian thought.
“what is wrong with the both of you! Can’t you be mature?” he yelled at them
“it was Tonia who–”
“–oh just shut up Vanessa! Stop trying to act innocent by speaking up first! Look at what you’ve done to her pretty face!” Sebastian barked at her and this time she flinched.
“but I–” she wanted to defend herself
“don’t say a word” he said
Vanessa looked at Tonia who cracked a smile at her. She looked at the maid holding her hand and she gently pulled her hand away. Her eyes turned teary. She couldn’t believe that Tonia was doing all that because she wanted to win Sebastian over. It was quite obvious she didn’t want Vanessa to keep the baby for him because she was into him already.
She turned and began to walk away from them, out of the living room and out of the house. She entered a taxi and went home where she began to cry in her bed.
After some time she stood up and walked to the mirror.
“if she thinks she’s going to win Sebastian over, then she’s dreaming. I know she’s just after his money” she said aloud
She sighed softly and said to herself again “I’m never going to abort this baby. Never”
