Chapter 6

I caught myself daydreaming about that day several times during the next week. It was as if we both were close enough to avoid our usual MO’s. I was not pushing him away any longer, and he was not looking for more flavors in the freezer.

Just when I was perfecting this revelation and sending emails to my clients, the buzz of my cell phone got my attention. “Hey biaaatch!” How could I have survived so long without that whining voice?

“Chelle, the baby can hear you, swearing in front of adults is normal, swearing in front of little babies is vulgar.” And I would probably be vulgar in the future, but it was nice to make fun of my really pregnant friend.

“It is not even born bitch! And Katie, I am believing that Marc’s middle name is Damien, because this baby is the antichrist. It is killing me! I can’t stand up, my bladder is exploding every second and I don’t recognize my body. Thank God the guys are having more free time now, because if that son of a bitch leaves me here to go to the office, I’ll kill him!”

Free time? The reason why Dylan hadn’t been to New York was because he was busy, definitely not free time. I couldn’t distress my murdering-mom-to-be friend, so I went for the easy subject. “It can’t be that bad babe, you have been fat before, don’t you remember our senior year?” She had never been fat, not a little, but it was good to distract both of us with her tantrum.

“I’ve never had a fat day in my life lying bitch! Just for that you’ll be my baby’s godmother!” She laughed as if she had just said a joke. A baby, Michelle loved me enough to let me be responsible for the most precious thing in her life. “Of course Marc made me promise Dylan would be the godfather.”

I was not that happy with the lying asshole, but I couldn’t avoid the joy of sharing that baby with him. “Baby I can’t tell you how happy it will make me. And even when that man is a pain in the ass he looks amazing in a suit, so I’ll suck it up.”

“I love you Katie.” I missed her, really, missed her.

“I love you and that baby C, say hi to Damien.” I hung up so happy for my friend that I couldn’t help but thank God for giving her the family she always wanted. But all those pretty thoughts couldn’t erase the uncertainty of knowing that probably Dylan was probably lying to me.

I had never exposed myself remotely close to what I was doing with him. But I reminded myself that I didn’t need him. If he was cheating on me, I could let him go, I could kick his ass and get back to my life. Keep dreaming princess, he has damaged you for a life without him.

Even when I tried to convince myself, I couldn’t quiet my brain. It wanted to enlist all the possibilities of Dylan’s affair.
