Crystal

In a few weeks, Zack was going to move me into his apartment. I needed to tell him. I couldn’t live with him and not let him know. He would notice when I didn’t have a period. I needed to tell him so he would stop treating me like I was dying. I wasn’t dying. I was pregnant and scared.

I needed to tell him before he moved my furniture.

Thoughts ping-ponged through my brain as I made my way into work. I still needed to find that specialist that Zack knew I needed. He just didn’t know what kind of specialist I needed. How the hell did I find a baby doctor?

My stomach sank when I saw Greg sitting at my desk, waiting for me.

I girded my mental loins. “Morning Greg, can I come find you after I get a moment to get settled?”

“Oh no,” he templed his fingers together. “I found out a little secret, Crystal Queen.”

He had replaced ‘scum’ with ‘queen.’ Of course, how could that word ever be misconstrued as an insult. He was safe from my pond scum tally list.

I leveled the flattest dead stare at him as I could muster. My insides were dancing around. I had a few too many secrets, was there any way he had found out any of them?

“What?”

He leaned forward menacingly. “Wouldn’t you like to know? Have you gained weight? Stress getting to you?”

“Greg,” I growled.

“I’m only concerned about your health. Wouldn’t want you to have a stroke or choke on a sandwich because of stress.”

He thrust to his feet and loomed over me before stepping out of my cube.

What the hell was wrong with that man? Why was he talking about my weight? I wasn’t showing yet. I know my clothes were feeling snug, but they still looked okay.

That was it. The last straw, I couldn’t work with him anymore. If I quit working at Shingle Click then I could openly date Zack, and I would remove myself from the temptation of putting superglue all over Greg’s chair.

“Morning Crystal,” Tony grunted as he passed my cube.

Damn, I couldn’t leave the team in the lurch just because I didn’t like Greg. Of course, I could map out everything they needed to implement and when. I was a glorified calendar minder. I could simply provide a very detailed calendar, and they could get someone else to read it for them.

I could. I bit my lip.

Zack was out on business trips enough that I could take that home as a project and work on it on the nights I knew I would be alone.

Zack had connections, and with his reference, he could help me find a job even if I was pregnant. I was barely pregnant. There was time I could give to a new job before going on maternity leave.

This could work. Zack said he wanted to help, well this would help. Now that I didn’t have to focus on finding a new apartment.

I tucked my bag into its drawer, pulled up the team chat, the corporate messenger, and my master spreadsheet.
