164 Lady Talk
Arthur always complied with Kalea’s wishes. He accepted whatever emotions Kalea was experiencing, pampered her and always paid attention to her. However, Kalea felt that Arthur did that only because he had to, not because he wanted to. There was no doubt about the way Arthur treated a woman, he was very caring. However, Kalea felt there was something different about that.
Arthur was no longer the lustful man who always told Kalea to follow his wild fantasies. No longer was Arthur always coaxing her with his lewd words. Arthur was more preoccupied with the flat object aka his cell phone, which sometimes made Kalea lonely. Kalea knew and had no right to ask for the man’s full time. Moreover, Arthur was very busy with his work. However, she could not help herself if she really wanted to be noticed.
It felt like Kalea was going crazy. Her feelings were running high, wanting Arthur to pay attention to her from the heart. It was not just a necessity because she was pregnant. Then, not wanting anything to happen to the baby made Arthur not want to touch Kalea with more than a kiss.
And just as Kalea had feared, it happened. As Arthur’s attention gradually faded, he showed his ignorant attitude. But the attention did not last long. Kalea’s overthinking became even more intense, making her even more stressed. Plus Arthur no longer came to be with her every day for work reasons.
By the eleventh week, Kalea’s nausea and vomiting slowly disappeared, not as often as in the early stages of pregnancy. When Arthur did not come home, Kalea had no one to talk to until she finally talked to the baby in her stomach. On the other hand, Kalea was happy that there was someone to share her worries with even though the fetus could only listen but at least Kalea did not feel alone anymore.
While Kalea was busy stroking her belly, the bell rang signaling that someone was coming to the penthouse. Kalea got up from her seat and approached the person in front. It certainly was not Arthur, as her sugar daddy was about to come in.
“Oh, Zeline,” Kalea muttered and immediately opened the door to let Zeline in.
“Hi! I’m here!” Zeline exclaimed excitedly as she carried a lot of fruit in a grocery bag that Kalea had no idea what was inside.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming,” Kalea said.
.....
“It was a surprise.”
Zeline followed Kalea from behind, heading to the living room. The blonde girl placed all her belongings on the table. She casually went to the kitchen, getting herself a drink, just like her home. And Kalea did not feel uncomfortable because she told Zeline to be like that. Especially with her current condition.
“Are you here because Arthur told you to?” Kalea asked after Zeline returned and sat beside her.
“What? No. This is on my own,” Zeline replied as she took a sip of cola. “Hey, why is there no alcohol in your fridge at all? Arthur didn’t stock it?”
“I told him not to drink alcohol while I was pregnant,” Kalea replied. She turned to Zeline as her friend suddenly fell silent with an expression that was hard to interpret. “Why?”
“Hm? Nothing. I’m just speechless because you can get Arthur completely away from that thing, haha,” Zeline replied as she smiled showing her neat teeth.
Kalea did not want to worry about that, her focus was now on the items Zeline was carrying. “What did you buy? I still can’t believe you really didn’t tell Arthur to come here. There’s no way you bought me that much stuff with your own money,” Kalea teased as she opened each of the shopping bags with different brands. “If Arthur sent you, I believe. He would have given you money to buy this and that.”
“You underestimate me! How bad am I in your eyes?”
“It’s not like that, but it feels a little strange.”
“Well, the point is that I did buy a lot of things for pregnant women. You just need to open everything,” Zeline said casually.
Kalea complied, her brow furrowing as she opened the shopping bag one by one and took out all the items Zeline had bought. “Why are there so many baby things?”
“You moron, what do you want me to buy you? Lingerie? What you need now is for pregnant women and babies!” Zeline grumbled in annoyance.
“But I’m still a long way from the birth stage, Zeline. Isn’t this too soon?”
“The sooner the better. All you have to do is accept it!”
“Okay, I accept. Don’t get angry,” Kalea sneered in annoyance. Why was Zeline using veins when she spoke? Was not it her who was in an unstable condition? “Zeline, you might be pregnant too.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“Your emotions are always unstable.”
“It’s been like this from the factory!”
That night, Zeline accompanied Kalea so that she would not be alone. Of course, Kalea did not mind and even accepted it gladly. They talked to each other, Kalea with her pregnancy and Zeline with the only sugar daddy she had. Plus Dariel, Zeline began to open up about her closeness with Arthur’s best friend.
“So are you going to choose Dante or Dariel?”
“Shut up, you don’t get involved either. I just need their money,” Zeline snorted in annoyance as he ate potato chips.
“Are you sure? Don’t you have the slightest feeling for Dariel? I think compared to Arthur, Dariel is much better.”
“I agree about that. But he keeps chasing me and making me uncomfortable!”
“If he suddenly doesn’t chase you, you’ll find him.”
“... why are you lecturing me now?”
“It’s not like that. But usually the cycle is like that. When you get used to Dariel’s existence, and when he disappears, you miss him,” Kalea replied as she propped up her chin and continued to stare at Zeline, making her interlocutor seem intimidated especially with Kalea’s words that had a point.
“You’re smarter about romance than me now, huh?”
“Who’s to say you’re smarter than me when it comes to romance?”
“Fuck!”
“I admit that you’re very experienced in bed and all things sugar dating. But when you’re loved by a sincere man, you don’t know what to do?”
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
“S-shut up, it’s not the time to talk about me if you forget!”
Kalea smiled slightly, she reached for her orange juice and took a small sip. “Please let me be amused by your love story. Because my story is already tragic from the start.”
