Elsie

May 31 — 22 Weeks, Papaya

Monday, Marshall left for work again, and the past five days have been brutal.

The two weeks before, though? Absolute heaven.

Something changed between us during our vacation at The Playground. Maybe it was meeting his family, or it could be all the sex. The part that stands out the most is our night at the club and me riding Marshall’s cock until I passed out, literally.

I woke up the next morning surrounded by his warmth and had never felt so peaceful. So good.

He makes me feel good.

Marshall, despite my best attempts, has become a place of comfort for me.

For the past two weeks before he left, I’ve lived in a state of genuine contentment and happiness. Even Oliver has made comments, much to my chagrin.

All good things come to an end, though, and Marshall left once more.

Since then, my anxiety has been sky-high, right alongside my blood pressure.

Evidently, the solution to my woes, though, is brunch, according to my friends who’ve dragged me out of the office on a Friday morning.

The audacity of taking a pregnant woman to a bar that serves brunch with bottomless mimosas should, quite frankly, be a crime.

Nonetheless, Selene, Naomi, Zuri, and Ivy somehow convinced me to leave the safety of my home office and ditch my responsibilities in exchange for a few hours with girlfriends, breakfast food, and water.

“Good morning, ladies. Welcome back. How are we this afternoon?” They ask.

The look around the table is less than cheery.

“I think we need food and drinks.” Selene chuckles, trying to lighten the mood.

“Of course.” The waiter says, shifting on their feet. “The usuals for the table?”

Everyone else nods their heads in confirmation.

“Um… Can I do breakfast tacos instead?” I request.

“And a bottle of hot sauce on the side.” Zuri chuckles at me. “What? Like we all haven’t noticed, your cravings lean toward a particular spice level during this pregnancy.”

“Of course.” The waiter replies with a glance down at my now heavily protruding stomach.

“I get that you’re white, but like, babe, you down spicy food like it’s vanilla ice cream these days,” Zuri says with a broad smile. “I think it has something to do with a certain someone who’s been cooking for you for the past few months.”

I shake my head and reach to unfold my silverware from its cloth napkin.

Selene eyes me suspiciously but lets me avoid commenting by changing the subject.

“Alright. Y’all bitches catch me up.” She says, clapping her hands. “Zuri, I wanna hear about the new line. Elsie, I know how work is. I want baby updates. Nay gets a pass today, but I expect participation at a minimum. Got it?”

“Yes, captain,” Nay says with a mock salute, her face not moving from its delicately held-together neutral expression.

I’ve heard from Selene that the woman has
