Bound By Her Bump novel Chapter 12

"Wake up sleepy head." Annie heard a loud voice say from her sleep.

"Go away." She mumbled as she snuggled closer to the pillow.

"Annnnnieeeee, wake up." The voice said again.

"Give me twenty minutes, Ella." She mumbled with her eyes closed.

"No way, honey. You have to wake up now." She placed a kiss on Annie's cheek after which she removed the duvet from her body.

Annie groaned as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Good morning." She greeted her best friend.

"Hi, love." Ella hugged her.

"What time is it?" Annie asked, pulling away from the hug.

"10:23 which is very strange since you're an early riser."

"It's Saturday, Ella, don't blame me, besides I slept very late. When did you arrive?" She asked, using the back of her palm to rub her eyes.

"Few minutes past eight, I checked up on you, you were sleeping so peacefully so I decided to give you more time to rest."

"I was hoping to see Claire and Jayden. I thought they would be here." Ella said disappointed.

"They spent the night at mom's place. They'll be back this evening."

"So how was your date with Eric?" Ella smiled.

"It wasn't a date, Ella." Annie blushed.

"Whatever, you're going to tell me what you guys talked about. But first, go and clean up and I'll bring breakfast for you."

As soon as Ella exited Annie's room, She lazily got down from her bed, arranged it a little and then proceeded to her bathroom to clean up.

Coming out of the bathroom all cleaned up, She saw Ella seated on her bed.

"I don't think I'll be able to finish that" She pointed to the tray of food on her nightstand.

"You should eat well Annie. You know you're eating for two now." Ella persuaded.

"Thanks for the food." She said sincerely, referring to the items on the tray. Bread, eggs, bacon, sausage and a glass of orange juice.

Ella smiled. "You're welcome."

"But that doesn't mean I'm going to finish everything." She chuckled. "You care for some?"

"No, I've had mine, it's all yours. Enjoy."

"So what did you guys talk about?" Ella asked Annie when She was halfway through her meal.

"Nothing much," Annie mumbled and Ella glared at her.
