Javier's POV
4 months later
I can't believe I have been depriving myself from being happy. I and Maria had the best time of our lives. I was so scared she would not forgive me. But she did and I'm grateful for that.
I was on the couch in the living room when she came in and said she'd like to tell me something. I was so curious to know
"We are having a baby" she said shyly
"You're having my baby..." i wanted to sweep her off her feet and swing her around. 'I love you, Maria . I love you, I can't live without you and now you've given me the best news I could ever have hoped for.
Lord, when you walked through that door, with that serious expression, white like a ghost, I thought...I don't know what I thought...that you were going to tell me that you were tired...that I had los

Maria POVI turned and tossed on the bed, and I opened my eyes gradually, and the first thing that came to my mind was the my job"Oh, not again" I shouted.It had become a habit for me to wake up late and I didn't like it no matter how much I tried sleeping early ."Urghhh" i grunted.My phone started ringing, and I rushed over to check who was calling and as I thought it was Emma calling. " babe where the fuck are you, Mr manager is asking about you" she said"Just tell him anything I'll be there soon, on my way" I told her as I risked to grab my toothbrush. I sprinted to the bathroom to take a shower.I quickly took a shower, dried my body up and checked my wardrobe for something to put on, but as usual that's one of the things that always took my time in the morning because I'm very much indecisive."Finally" I shouted while I smiled to my self as I found a Jean and a crop top t
Maria POV I was carrying a tray of chicken with potato stew to the couple who ordered and were already seated when I noticed a dark, tall and gorgeous man seated just opposite the couple. His maroon tie was untied, the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his thick hair looked like he'd run his fingers through it recently. She bet he doesn't joke at all, because all he wore was a frown. She was vaguely aware of his other well balanced features, his straight nose, the slash of an unsmiling mouth but it was his dark eyes that held her in there depth, she felt as though he was pulling her toward him with his gaze and she complied. She quickly straightened her black apron and went over to his table as she was the one taking orders. "Good day sir, what would you be having" I asked .He looked at me from head to toe and ignored my greetings. Rude much, but I had to compose my sel
Maria POVMy room was scattered, with clothes litters all around the house, I was pale and unkempt from all the sulking. I was really tired. It's been 2 weeks since I lost my job and I haven't been able to get another job. I tried contacting Mr. James to see if he'd change is mind and give me back my job .I roamed the streets, applied in every company I could think of but all I was told was "we will get back to you" ...I had to snap out of my mood and think of ways to make myself happy, Emma had tried countless times to make me have fun but it was relentless, but tonight I'm going to have all the fun I could think of and no boundaries. So I picked up my phone and dialed Emma's number"Hey baby, you up for clubbing?" I asked."Yaaaaaay!!! Emma screamed, I thought you'd never ask she saidWe agreed to leave for the club by 8pm so she could come home on time and sleep in order to go to work early the next day.
Maria POVIt was just 6: 30 am in the morning , and my phone kept on buzzing and i swore it was Emma trying to run my battery down, but when i picked it up it wasn't Emma calling, so i answered and i heard a woman's voice an elderly voice for that matter."I'm I on to Miss Lopez?" she asked"Yes ma'am" I answered "Congratulations, You have been shortlisted for the job in Ramirez Group of Companies and you'll be required to be in the building before 10 am for your interview with the CEO " she said"Thank you so much, I'll be there" I told her before she ended the call. I quickly jumped of
Maria's POVIts been 2 weeks since i started working at the company, and I must say it has been awesome with a lot of buts. I hardly had time for myself or my friend. Speaking of Emma, she was already complaining on how i had forgotten her, and i don't call anymore, and i totally understood. Work was so demanding. I wake up by 8am everyday, get toI'm work before 9am, work till 7pm, and whenever i get back I'm usually very tired and i have to prepare for work the next day.

Maria's POVAfter I left Mr Ramirez office I headed over to my office and and grabbed my bag. I needed to get to my apartment and get some stuffs, since he said we'd be leaving for New York in the next few hours."He doesn't care about other people" I thought while trying to catch a bus. I got to my apartment within 30 minutes. As soon as I got in, o grabbed my traveling bag and started parking my things. "Oh, I needed to inform Emma about my trip, so she wouldn't be worried about me" I thought out loud. I picked up my phone and called her"Hey bitch" Emma shouted"Hahhahahahaha, bitch I missed you" I said"Missed you too, I'll be coming to spend the weekend at your place, what do you think?" She asked"That's why I'm calling babe, I'll be leaving for New York with my boss in the next few hours for a business meeting over the weekend and I
Maria's POVJavier showed me my room, and i got settled in. I was so tired, so i took a nap, when i got up i quickly had my shower and picked out a dress (a short body hug gown that showed off my curves). Javier had already told me to rest, before heading to his room which was just opposite mine.I walked to the dressing table and picked up my phone, that was when i realized i had missed calls, all from Javier, just when i was about to call back i heard a knock on my door. I rushed to quickly get a robe to cover up properly, but before i could get to the wardrobe Javier had already come in.He was shocked and his gaze didn't leave me, I felt like he was undressing me with his eyes, and before i knew it we met each other halfway, Javier's arms coming around me .
