Chapter Fourteen

Aubree

Four months have passed. Today, I had my ultrasound. I am excited because I found out that I was having a baby boy. During one of Nicholas’ random visits to my office, we talked about the sex of the baby and joked about the names we would give depending on what sex it is. Nicholas had not made it explicitly clear, but I had gotten the notion that he wanted a boy. I was fine with whatever the baby turned out to be, and it would seem that Nicholas’ secret wishes had been granted.

I think Nicholas and I have become more friends than acquaintances. I have learned a lot more about him these past couple of months than I’ve ever had since I began working for him three years ago. We have grown accustomed to each other enough to plan visits by ourselves and not through our assistants, which is why I invited Nicholas to dinner today. We had exchanged phone numbers a couple of months ago, and while Nicholas was a little too old school to chat, we had called each other a couple of times to confirm appointments and schedule official meetings.

My stomach has begun to make an appearance in tight dresses and blouses, which means that every morning, I go towards the section of my least favorite dresses, roomy and a tad too comfortable. But it’s a necessity, as we still have not come out publicly. I think fear has a lot to do with Nicholas, and his strong privacy preferences that border on secrecy.

We are afraid of what the public would say and the impact this news would have on the company. Not all bad publicity is good publicity, we both knew that and are avoiding word of this scandal getting out as much as we can.

Marissa has told me that I look a little too good in my present state and has explained how most of the junior staff have been awed by me. That notwithstanding, the truth is, I have been taking it easy.

I have added quite noticeably and in obvious places. My legs have also been fuller, and I have had to ditch stilettos for strappy heels.

I am currently in the kitchen, placing the food I ordered into plates. I couldn’t be bothered to cook, and I know Nicholas wouldn’t mind in the least.

It’s nearly 7 p.m., and my pulse jumps from excitement. Nicholas had been busy these past couple of weeks, so we had not had time to meet privately like this, except for snatches of minutes in offices and run-ins in the hallway. So, when the doorbell sounds, my heart skips, and I find myself wiping my hands against my dress as I make my way to the door. And when I pull it open, I find Nicholas on the other side with a bottle of wine. My eyes widen at the sight, and I find myself reaching for it automatically.

“You brought wine,” I grin as I step back for him to enter.
