Baby Daddy Facade

Raina Williams.

"It's Gray." I rep(lied).

"Oh your clients son right ?" My father said in an understanding voice. "I was just hoping we could have a little chat, you know it's been a while." He said with a smile tucked on his lips. "Yes dad, just a minute." I grimaced, with a nod he closed the door. I jumped on my pink bed covers only discovering that Angelo had ended the call, i didn't expect that but it's totally something he would do so oh well...

The phone rang and a strange feeling of excitement rang inside me but disappointment soon filled it as I recognised the caller ID as Alma. Swiping the green bar on my phone, I laid in my back listening carefully. I suddenly felt like I was in those teenage movies where the girl lays on her bed talking about the boy she likes to her best friend except in this story...Angelo does not like me and Alma is not my bestfriend well not anymore.

"Hey Raina, Oh my word you won't believe what I'm about to tell you." I could hear her practically yelling from the other line.

"Oh yeah.." I wondered what it was.

"So...maybe Ashley will look good as a flower girl after all." She said in a playful tone.

"Wow really who's getting married ?" I curiously asked.

"Guess ?" She sniggered.

"Umm, i don't know." I replied but my gut knew just who it might be, i just didn't want it to be confirmed. It hurt before it was even said. I held onto the tiny bit of hope that it was Angelo, it couldn't be. They had only dated for what a year now? Out of all the women he had dated all these years he couldn't have chosen her. No no no, he just couldn't be that stupid. Why was I panicking? Is he aware that marriage is for life, what if he is making a mistake? Why do I care... why do I care?

"Okay okay fine. I will just tell you who it is." I could picture her jumping up and down with excitement but my heart was beating so fast I could hear it in my ears.

"A-N-G-E-L-O...." She mumbled but in my ears it sounded like slow motion like everything was just a dream, It honestly didn't sound believable but -

I was quiet for a while..."Hello ? Are you still there..."

"Uhm yes I'm here." I mumbled.

"Wow, i should probably congratulate both of them as soon as i return to LA." I spoke in a calm tone but I bet it sounded bitter.

"Raina are you okay ?" She asked worry laced in her voice.

"Super okay."

"Is that sarcasm ?" She pryed.

"No, i mean why should I be mad...Angelo and I, there absolutely nothing between us except the twins so yeah he can do as he pleases." I curtly replied.

"Mhm, yes but Yaya is totally cool with it, i spoke to her a while ago and she said she wanted to ask you if you would like to be her bridesmaid with your fabulous figure ofcourse." Alma chuckled a bit but it was absurd to think Yaya would even consider me. "That's really nice of her." I wanted to gag.

"I know right."

"Yeah..."
