once upon a lady 4
Marcus can't get Tracy out of his head after what happened that day, it has been a month and a half since that night, he didn't know how to approach her, the way she left that day and thanked him told him she sees him as nothing more than a one night, he sat down in his office handling some businesses when his phone rang, he looked at it and sees it's an unknown number, he wasn't going to pick it up but changed his mind, he answered the phone and heard her voice, for a brief second he felt excited, " and how do you have my phone number?" He asked her " oh I got it from clay, I would like us to meet, please when will you be available?" He chuckled " I thought you made up your mind we're done when you left after thanking me for a job well done " he said a little pissed " I know what you mean, and I may not have done it the right way, but please we need to talk, okay " he tilted his head backwards and replied " 12 o'clock on Thursday, I'll be hanging up now" he didn't wait for her to reply when he hang up the phone on her and smiled " I want to hear what you have to say Tracy" he said to himself.
On Thursday at exact 12 o'clock
Tracy was seated in a waiting room, waiting patiently for Marcus, a few seconds later he arrived there and sat down across from her " please make it snappy miss Andrews " Tracy took a deep breath before she dropped the bombshell
" am pregnant " the little smirk on Marcus's face disappeared " what do you mean pregnant " he said surprised looking at her tummy, " look am just here to tell you about it, I don't plan on keeping it, it's just so you know " she said sternly " you can't make that decision all by yourself, and am not having my baby aborted because you don't want it, that's my child you're carrying Tracy, my seed, so please reconsider " Tracy was surprised by what she just heard, did Marcus just say to keep the baby? " you're not serious, are you?" " am more than serious ".
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
A few hours later Marcus was in his office recalling what Tracy had said, while it was unexpected it wasn't a bad idea to at least settle down since a baby is on its way, but the problem is how will he get Tracy to see things like him? how could he convince her to stay with him? He thought, and he took his phone to call Clarissa after the first Clarissa ring picked up " hey I'll assume she has told you already, and I want her to keep our baby, so please tell me all about her" Clarissa was quite for sometime before she spoke " just take it easy and slowly with her, she might look strong but she's so fragile, about 11 months ago she caught her fiance cheating on her, since then she doesn't give into men easily, you're the one she has led on recently, and she is still processing this pregnancy issue" he took a deep breath and thanked Clarissa.
The next day Marcus reached out to her, to know whether she has decided to keep the baby or not, when they both sat down to discuss, she came to the conclusion that if he wants to have the baby so is she, but what he said next made her surprised " then marry me" he said firmly and continued "since there is no strings attached and I wouldn't want an illegitimate child, why don't we sign a marriage contract for one year" he proposed, Tracy was dumbfounded but managed to say a few words " and once the baby is born?" Marcus looked and her and smiled whilst he jokingly said " maybe by then i would have fallen madly in love with you not to let you go" Tracy gasped, when the word love come from this man it sounded exciting and she found herself waiting for that moment to come.
