The baby contract novel Chapter 11

    " Hey girlfriend, how was your first day at work? " It was Jenny. She called her the minute she got home. 

   Carla sighed " It was okay. Guess what? "

  Jenny groaned " Oh don't start, you know I'm not good at this "

   Carla laughed " All the more reason to get good at it "

  " I will but not now, so what's up? " Jenny asked eagerly. 

  Carla took a deep breath " Well, I... I'm going on a date with Liam tonight " She blurted out and put the phone away from her ear a little when Jenny screamed. Oh my poor ear, she thought. It was going to be pretty sore the next morning, she was sure. 

   " What??! " Jenny screeched. 

   " I'm going on a date with Liam tonight " Carla repeated in the same words, with the same calm tone. 

  " Of course I heard you the first time! I'm just very surprised! How?! How did it get to that?! " Jenny exclaimed. 

  " Calm down while I explain, will you? " Carla said and sighed. 

  " Okay shoot " Jenny conceded but her voice was still louder than normal. 

  Carla overlooked that and explained everything in a calm tone, not leaving any incident out. 

  " Whoa! This is so unexpected! " Jenny exclaimed again when Carla was done explaining it to her. 

  " I know right? " Carla said as she waited for Jenny's I Told You So which came shortly after. 

  " I told you, didn't I?! I warned you to be careful with Liam, didn't I?! " Jenny shouted over the phone.

  " I had no choice, Jenny, it seemed I was his last hope and it's not a real thing, just play his girlfriend, that's all " Carla explained quietly. 

  " Well, there's nothing bad if you become his real girlfriend " Jenny mused. 

  " Jenny! " Carla snapped. 

  " What? I'm only speculating, that's all " Jenny sounded undeterred. 

  " Don't speculate anything! I just agreed to his fake girlfriend because he was in a real tight spot and I was his last hope " Carla said in a loud voice. 

  " Okay okay, I've heard you " Jenny said in a surrendering tone.

  " So what's up now? " She asked.

  Carla sighed at that " I don't know honestly,. On one way, I wanna call him and cancel and on the other way, I wanna go "

  " You'll go to the dinner, babe. Just be careful not to fall for Liam, I heard he's pretty irresistible " Jenny said and laughed a little. 

   Carla glared at the door " That will never happen "

   " Don't be so sure " Jenny said with a tone of mischief. 

  Carla rolled her eyes " We shall see, won't we? "
