Chapter 40: Chapter 40 – A girl of one-night stands
"I forgot to tell you earlier that I will be traveling for a few days but I will be back to pick you up for the party," he said in a slightly apologetic tone. Zayla could not hide her dismay even if she tried.
Her presence in Robin’s life seed ineffective because they felt drawn apart. If not, how could he leave the sa house they slept together, to tell her on the phone that he was traveling?
"Robin and you are just telling ? I was planning a surprise for you tonight and you ruined it."
"I’m sorry Zayla, but you should know by now that impromptu things like this happen with the nature of my work," he explained.
"So did you just decide right now that you had to go on a business trip?" Zayla asked in a tear-filled voice.
Robin was not liking this. Sabrina never complained if he inford her a minute before dinner ti that he would not be coming ho but Zayla?
Robin was not used to handling cry babies and Zayla felt like a handful.
"Zayla, things like this will always happen but I will always do my best to inform you as much as I can," he said in a slightly raised tone, she shivered slightly,
"Okay."
Since Robin was not coming ho, Zayla could not endure the loneliness of the penthouse. She wanted to go ho but without the docunts to the villa, her father would be pissed with her, and her mother’s ceaseless probing would not stop. As such, she decided to spend a few days with her best friend, Zeresh.
Reaching her best friend’s apartnt, she pressed the doorbell for the umpteenth ti without success since her friend was not answering her calls either. It had begun to drizzle and she was about to return when she heard the sound of the key lock.
"Zayla!"
Zeresh stepped out and closed the door behind her. She was in a towel robe with her hair disheveled, and she was all sweaty.
"I wasn’t expecting you."
"I ant to surprise you. Why? Can’t I co in?"
Zayla frowned at how weird Zeresh was behaving. A few weeks ago, Zeresh was the one begging her to co over and just when she did, she was not even allowed in.
"Sorry, but I’m quite busy, Zayla."
"We are best friends, Zeresh, I can help you with anything you are busy with,"
Zayla walked past her and opened the door when her jaws dropped.
"Are you fucking two n?"
Zayla was shocked but also recognized one of the n and her heart was pounding wildly in her chest.
"It’s called a threeso, Zayla, it’s fun. I’m just afraid of Robin and if not, I would have asked you to join,"
Zeresh mumbled, not noticing the changes in the appearance of Zayla and one of the n she knew before.
"I...I will see you another ti,"
Zayla said and ran out of her friend’s apartnt. Her friend was about to chase after her when the man called her,
"Let her go, do you want to get into trouble with Robin?"
"Do you know her?" Zeresh asked suspiciously, due to how the man ntioned Robin.
"It was just a one-night stand," the man winked.
"Ready for round two?"
A few days later.
"Robin, you ca," Zayla was elated to see Robin at the door even when he had pre-inford her. She hugged him tightly and shed a few tears.
Ever since eting that man she never thought she’d et again; she was afraid that he might expose, their one night.
Not even her father knew that she had a few one-nights before eting Robin again. Usually, Zayla never bumped into them as she did that night.
"I said I will co but isn’t that dress too revealing? Don’t forget that you are pregnant,"
Robin complained as soon as he took in the design of the dress. If it was worn by any of his whores, he wouldn’t have cared but this was the soon-to-be mother of his child for which he was very much concerned.
"If you don’t like it, then co and choose what you like,"
Zayla led him up the stairs to her room. Since Robin left, he called once every morning with the sa monotonous question,
"How are you and the growing baby?"
Zayla felt like if not for the pregnancy, Robin would not care for her at all.
"Okay,"
Robin took up the challenge and began to check the dresses in her closet, pushing aside every dress that had the ’S’ letter to it. He wanted to present her as a keeper.
"Here, this is much better."
Zayla was annoyed, regretting giving him the chance to choose an outfit for her. As Robin’s woman, she wanted all eyes to be on her but that dress would make her look invisible.
"Robin, that dress is too bland."
"But it gives you a decent look. Don’t forget that Martin Dane will be there and most probably, Sabrina too. I want everyone to know that my woman is decent," he explained.
Zayla laughed internally. For as long as this was what Robin desired from his woman, then she was fine with it.
"Alright, if you say so."
She changed right in front of him, thinking that her sexy body would attract him to make a move but when she finished dressing and awaited his opinion, he was rely lifting his head from his phone.
"There, you look beautiful."
Robin had not seen a thing and Zayla hid the pain that he did not care to take advantage of her femininity. Swallowing the dismay, she drank in the complent and joined her hand to his, while he led her out of the penthouse to the car.
Arriving at the party, a valet took the car key after Robin stepped out and opened the door for Zayla. The valet greeted and welcod them politely before going to park the car for him at the underground car park.
They entered the elevator to the rooftop where the party was being held.
As soon as the doors of the elevator slid open, there stood Sabrina, looking like she owned the night with a gorgeous sparkling diamond around her neck while Martin Dane stood protectively beside her like the possessive boyfriend.
Robin gulped by the re sight of her while Zayla’s eyes dropped, feeling embarrassed by her keeper look.
