My Baby's father - S01 E14

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14

Kim’s p.o.v.

Julia looked quite acquainted with Rosa and they talked all through,I was glad I wasn’t forced into a discussion I knew next to nothing about. We had different hobbies, to me talking about the latest gossip in town isn’t my thing,why would you be so interested in someone else’s life that you know almost everything about them.

The first time I met Julia was when Ashton and I went for her 26th birthday party,since then i haven’t met her and to be honest I know next to nothing about her apart from the obvious fact that her family is one of the richest family here in New York. But Julia knows probably everything about me and believe me if that wasn’t shady enough. I met you just once and you went to do a background check on me,that looks so stupid and not so right. It isn’t right at all.

“Kimberly, can you please input your number on my phone?”. Millie said with a gentle smile.

The table was divided already, Rosa and Julia are on the same team, Millie and I weren’t interested in whatever Julia was telling Rosa. Like she was exaggerating the story and I wonder what was so fascinating about hyping a story that way. Julia’s mom doesn’t even have a team,she have failed woefully in joining Julia’s and Rosa’s discussion. Julia finds a way to excuse her from the discussion with sentences like “mom you don’t know this person but aunt Rosa knows her”. “Mom you already heard about this right?”. And she wasn’t about to talk to Millie because Millie is bent on starting a discussion with me and Julia’s mom doesn’t like me and for the record,I don’t like her too .

“You want my number?”. I asked her. She was nice to me no doubt and that is why I am shocked. She doesn’t even know me and she already wants my number.

“Yes please if you don’t mind”. She smiled again.

“I don’t mind”. I told her before collecting her phone.

I guess I Made a bad first impression about her,she is not like the other ladies,she is nice and d--n if that didn’t warm my heart. It have been long since someone was this nice to me.

I imputed my number and I gave her back her phone.

“I would give you a call one of these days. There is an auction coming up next month and I am the one sponsoring it and I want you to attend it if you have the time”. She informed me.

“An auction?”.

“Yes. An art auction to be precise”. She said again.

“You are an artist?”. I asked her with wide eyes.

“Yes I am. Not a very good one though,but I try my best and let’s say people love my work. Wait let me show you some of my works”. She said scrolling through her photo gallery.

“Here,look at this”. She said scrolling through different pictures that she have drawn “I draw when I have nothing to do,you know being a parent isn’t easy.” She laughed softly.

“This is beautiful”. I told her. It was a picture of a little girl dressed in different colors. She really knew how to draw,it looked so real and it was so beautiful.

She looked at me shocked “you find this particular one beautiful?”.

“Yes. It is. Is there something wrong with it?”. I asked her.

She smiled softly again “no,it’s just that you are the first person to gush about how beautiful this painting is”.

No that’s unbelievable.

“You mean no one have called this particular picture beautiful?”. I asked her shocked.

She sighed “not that Kimberly,they do say my paintings are beautiful. But no one have told me with a sincerity as yours. And I do think my paintings is just there, Rosa do tell me to drop painting,that painting isn’t a career but I love painting and it is like my life so I don’t think I can ever stop painting”.

“No you shouldn’t stop. It is very beautiful and your other paintings are awesome too. You have a talent and you shouldn’t be ashamed of it,I haven’t discovered my talent yet but with time I will. Your paintings are really beautiful and I love everyone of them”. I told her.

No one should be ashamed of their talents. It is a gift and everyone that doesn’t see it that way is toxic and you should probably stay away from them. She was totally out of the league of Rosa’s friend because she doesn’t behave like any of them and I wonder why she is still with them. Probably the fame of being recognized as one of the bustamante’s friends.

“Thank you. I sincerely hope my husband and my friends think the way you think. They all say it’s trash and I should find a befitting career”. She said again looking at the direction of Rosa and Julia’s mom who were pretty engrossed in whatever she was telling them.

“No. Your paintings aren’t trash. I love it especially this”. I said pointing to that of the little girl.

A little smile graced her lips “that little girl is my daughter”.

“Your daughter?”.

“Yes and she loves to paint too. I guess it is hereditary,she insisted I drew her even if her dad quarreled with me over it,she requested I placed the painting in her room and I did just that”. She said smiling.

“That’s lovely and she is beautiful like so cute”. I gushed.

“Wait until you see her in person,I have a feeling she would like you”. She told me and I felt flattered.

“Why do you say that?”. I asked her.

“Because you are beautiful in and out. It is what is in here that matters” she said gesturing to her heart. “Are you going to come for the auction, Ashton is coming too,he always attends even though he is irritated by things like that. If he doesn’t want to come I would send an invitation to you,I would really love if you attend it”. She told me.

“I would try to attend it”. I promised her.

“Thank you”. She said patting my hand.

She is so nice. Just like a mom,a good mom to be honest.

We talked about different things and she was pretty chatty for a quiet looking person like her,she told me about her young son that she adopted not up to a year now. I find it endearing that she was open to me like she didn’t just meet me today. We were pretty engrossed in whatever we were discussing when Julia interrupted.

“I really love your puppy aunt Millie”. She said in a sweet voice.

“You haven’t even seen the dog yet”. Millie retorted.

“I have,I have seen the pictures on mom’s phone and it is so beautiful”. She gushed.

Sly.

“Yes Julia have a thing for dogs. She even volunteers in an animal shelter right Julia?”. Her mom elaborated.

“Yes Mommy. I would love to visit Aunt Millie one day to see her dogs house”. She said and Millie forced a strain smile.

“Sure Julia. You are free to come”.

“Thank you. Give me a hug aunt”. She said moving forward to hug Millie. Millie returned the gesture with a noticeable stiff hug.

She wasn’t her fan and it was painfully obvious.

I had no idea Julia was listening to whatever Millie and I were talking about,I think she eventually ran out of her exaggerated stories.

“Let’s head to the store. Shall we?”. Rosa asked standing up and we all followed suit. Time was far spent and I couldn’t help but wonder how people spent their free time this way. If it wasn’t for Millie,I would have been bored to death.

I opted to ride with Millie since Julia was sticking to Rosa like a sticky gum and we were going to the same store. It wouldn’t hurt to ride with Millie right?.

.

We have been in a female store for close to an hour now. The ladies shopped senselessly including Millie she kept saying “kim this would look good on you take it” and gradually the clothes in my arms were piling up,it was like she was the one shopping for me and I felt indebted. I wasn’t good in things like this because it wasn’t just my thing.

I looked around the store deciding to pick at least one cloth by myself when my eyes caught a very beautiful black gown. It looked so cute and it was modest. I have probably seen a dress to wear to the auction if I finally decided to attend. I went closer to catch a better view of the dress,I was about to remove it from the hanger when I heard someone say….

“OMG mom,come and look at this dress. It is the Versace dress that Ariana and i have been searching for in almost all the cloth stores in new York”. She gushed.

“Take the dress then. It is really beautiful”. Her mom said.

Couldn’t they see I already saw the dress first.

“Right I am taking it”. She said dragging it from my hands “I hope you don’t mind Kim. This dress seems to be mine”.

“Of course she doesn’t mind. I think designers suit you more”. Her mom said.

“Of course. I was born fo wear designer clothes not some cheap regular clothes. Remember I don’t repeat clothes mom,I wear them only once”. She explained.

“Julia I don’t think that dress is your size”. Millie said not looking so happy. I didn’t even notice when she got here.

“Why do you say that?”. Julia fired back.

“I think the size is a bit smaller for you”. Millie said.

“Are you calling me fat. I don’t care if it is smaller or bigger I am taking it and moreover Kim can’t really afford this can she?”. She asked slyly.

“You don’t have to be so…” Millie was saying until I interrupted her.

“It is alright. You can have it Julia, it probably suit you more”. I told her.

“Mom follow me to the changing room please. Aunt Rosa would definitely like this dress”. She smirked before leaving with her mom on her trail.

“Let’s get you a dress like that. Julia is a spoilt brat and her mom won’t just admit it”. Millie said still looking pissed.

“No it is alright. The clothes I picked are enough already”I told her with a gentle smile.

“You didn’t pick the clothes. I did”. She joked and i laughed.

“Yes you did and there are beautiful”. I told her sincerely.

She smiled again “I have good eyesight, let’s go and get more”.

“No this is enough already”.

“No it’s not,I would pay”. She suggested.

“No please you don’t need too”. I told her.

“No I will”. She stated before dragging me.

.

Millie and the other ladies were currently shopping in the undies section and it was embarrassing,she was asking me to give her suggestions on seductive undies.

“I am going to buy this for you. You have small boobs right?”. She asked me.

I am sure my cheeks were burning red now “Why would…”

“That’s okay”. She interjected “i have eyes to see,this probably looks small on you. Let’s try this”. She passed a red lingerie to me.

Rosa passed us with Julia following her. They stopped beside us.

“This boxers are so beautiful”. Julia gushed grabbing a pack.

“Yes there are,do you wear shorts too?” Rosa asked her.

“No I don’t anymore”.

“Sad”.

“But I can get it for Ashton,he would like it right?”. She asked smiling.

“Yes he will. That’s very thoughtful of you”. Rosa told her.

“He wears colorful shorts like this one too. I have seen it on him in more than one occasion”. She said grabbing another short.

“He wear that too?” Rosa asked.

“Yes I would buy both and some socks too” she suggested.

“Yes that’s great. It is a good thing you thought of getting him something In a ladies store”. Rosa said with a calculated smile.

“I always think of Ashton Aunt,all the time and he thinks of me too”. She said not minding that i was three feets away from them.

No one cares anyways.

“He sure thinks of you too”. Rosa assured her.

“Are you sure Aunt?” She asked.

“Yes. Very sure. Office relationship doesn’t last long you know that right”. Rosa said and they both cracked into laughter.

So funny.

.

After hours of shopping we finally left the store and thankfully it was too late to go to the salon. Rosa suggested we meet another time but I know I wasn’t going to be going out with her soon especially with Julia tagging along on everything. She should just stick to Julia.

Office relationships don’t last long anyways so there is no point in pretending to like me because I don’t like her either.

I bade Millie goodbye and she hugged me, she told me to think about the art auction and she said she was going to call me tomorrow.

Rosa volunteered to drop me home since I came with her,i guess she had no other choice.

“Julia aren’t you riding with me home?”. Her mom asked her and she frowned immediately.

“No mom. I am riding with Aunt Rosa”. She said.

“But you came with your car”. Her mom added.

She frowned again “I can’t drive since It is getting late and I am really tired and moreover my driver took the car back on our way to the store. Mom you told me you were going to stop by at uncle’s house you should go ahead”.

“Julia,I told you…”

“Mom you should go ahead and moreover I want to drop this bags for Ashton”. She said raising her hands up.

Awwn she shopped alot for Ashton in a female store,that’s really cute.

“Don’t worry Amy,Julia is safe riding with me”. Rosa said with a tiny smile.

“That’s great,excuse me then”. She said before entering her car.

The ride to Ashton’s house wasn’t peaceful at all. Rosa and Julia chatted lousily but I didn’t care I just wanted to get home and sleep in my room. I haven’t eaten anything apart from breakfast but I wasn’t hungry. I just wanted ro sleep.

We got to Ashton’s house, Rosa and Julia came down first and I followed suit. Andrew was nice enough to carry the shopping bags for me and I passed him a grateful smile. I was indeed tired and I needed my bed.

I knew I wasn’t going to sleep immediately because with Julia and Rosa nothing is predictable.
