He heard her sniffling in her room, and felt a
pang of guilt.

“I also got you cookies, chocolates, and
more bananas.” He said again.
He heard the door click open and she stood
in front of him, blocking him from entering
her room.

“I have to come in with the whole package
Abena.” He said softly and she let him in,
grabbing the bunch of bananas from him.
He chuckled, but kept quiet when she glared
at him.

“I’m sorry, I’m such a d--k. I have no filter,
and I say a lot of mean things.” He
apologized.

“Yes, you do.” She simply said.
“Let me make it up to you.” He offered.
“Sorry, I don’t hang out with my baby daddy.

I don’t want people to think I’m with him for
money…” She gave a sarcastic pause. “Oh,
yes! I am getting paid.”

“Abena, thats unfair. I’m trying to apologize.

I’m sorry I always say the wrong things. I’m
such a bad person to you.” He sighed and
she felt bad.

She looked at the worried look on his
beautiful face and immediately gave in.
He had no idea what he did to her.
“Fine. Apology accepted.” She said grabbing
the box of cookies from him.

A smile lit up his face and the butterflies
returned to her stomach, playing around.
“So, Abena.” He started, attempting to make
small talk. “Why don’t you go out?” Tobi
asked after a while.

“Go out? To where?” She lifted an eyebrow.
“Go out, like to have fun. You always stay at
home, even after I told you that you’re
allowed to leave the house.” He explained.
“People stare.” She said quietly, thinking of
Dr. Karo’s scrutinizing gaze.

“Stare? At what?” He asked confused.
“At me. People stare at me.” She tried to
explain.

“I don’t understand.”
“What have you been doing all your life?
Working?”

“Precisely.”
“You have no knowledge of how life works
do you?” She asked.
“Just talk Abena.” He said impatiently.
“People stare, when you’re pregnant and not
married, or at least engaged.” She explained
sadly.

“Oh.”
“Yeah.”
“Why don’t I take you out. Shopping and
stuff. Anything you want.” He offered.
“Really?” Her eyes lit up.
“Yeah.”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!” She
squealed, hugging him tightly. He released
himself from her grip and gave her a smile.
“No problem.”
I’ll do anything to see that smile on your face
again.
But of course, he didn’t tell her that.
