The baby contract novel Chapter 57

" Ugh, you're no fun! " Jenny whined. 

" You didn't expect me to be, did you? " Carla said, quickly thinking of a comeback. Liam shook his head and smiled. He watched her, thinking she was smart to be able to think of a sharp, savage replies to whatever insults her friend was hauling at her. Carla rolled her eyes, at him this and gestured for him to keep his mouth shut. He laughed at that and motioned her to go on with the conversation she was having with her friend. 

" Shut up Carla, must you always have a reply ready and waiting to every of my words?? " Jenny sounded frustrated. 

" So spit out whatever you want to tell me! " Carla fired back, not backing off one bit. 

" Calm down your ass, will you? " Jenny laughed. 

Carla sighed audibly " There. I have, so get with the damn thing " 

" Bitch " Jenny muttered but there was no malice to her word. 

" Just get on with it already, I'm busy " Carla said, getting tired of her friend's endless chatter already. 

From her peripheral vision, she saw Liam smirked and she frowned, wondering why on earth he did that. Oh! He thought she told her friend she was busy because she was eager to pick up where they left off just before Jenny's call came in. 

" What? " She whispered to him and he shook his head, gave her the hand sign to carry on with her conversation. 

" Just shut up for a minute Carla! " Jenny shouted. 

" Okay ma'am " Carla teased. 

Jenny coughed slightly " So... He asked me out on a date "

Carla rolled her eyes " Heard that already, so I asked who? "

" Ugh you're mean! " Jenny whined and continued " Alex. He asked me out " 

Carla's eyes widened " Alex?! The same Alex I know?! " She was really surprised. 

" Of course dummy, the Alex we both know " Jenny answered. 

" Wow girl! I must say, I'm surprised. How did you manage to get him to go on a date with you?! " Carla gushed out. 

" Idiot, the right question is, how did he manage to convince me to go on a date with him? " Jenny said sharply and Carla could feel her sharp glare from where she was. 

" Okay how? " Carla asked, not ready to rephrase her question. 

" Well, he came to my restaurant today and boom, it just happened " Jenny said. 

Carla rolled her eyes " I already knew what you wanted to say wouldn't make sense " 

" Shut your trap " Jenny laughed. 

" Anyways, just thought of informing you. Do you have any idea what would be the perfect outfit to wear? " She added. 

" I have no idea dummy, can I hang up now? " Carla asked. 

" Oh Carla, you wound me! " Jenny whined. 

" That was my intention, now bye. I wish you good luck on your date " Carla said and hung up. 

Liam laughed heartily " I like your friendship, how long have you guys been best friends? " He asked curiously. 

She looked lost in thought for a moment " Hmm... Forever I guess, I can't really remember " 

" Wow " He said, looking impressed. 

" Yeah " She agreed.
