HEADQUARTERS FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE…

I walked through the doors to a busy facility…staff running around with important documents…Oscar approaches me and says…“hey goodmorning…you look sick are you okay?”…I say “yes…I’m fine…any news on Ken Darson the child from Iran who was having problems finding a sponsor”…Oscar replies…“yes…we found him a sponsor”…I smile while I walk to my office…Oscar follows me…I take off my coat with excitement and say…“really…who’s his sponsor?”…Oscar smiled and said…“me”…I open my mouth wide and my eyes roam from his eyes down to his mouth..I say…“are you serious?”…Oscar replied…“yup…somebody’s got to do it…”…I stood and hugged and thanked him so much for helping me…If Oscar didn’t sponsor him then he would of died from malnutrition…I jumped for joy along with him…he stops suddenly and notices the bump in my belly below…he looks down and says…“Tina…oh my god…are you pregnant?”…I smile and say…“yes”…it wasn’t like I could hide it at the moment…it was out in the open so be it…Oscar smiles and asks…“well…did you tell Bette?…there goes that damn name again…I feel faint…I turn away slightly and say…“no…we ah…we broke up”…Oscar was taken back by the comment…“Oh my…well are you okay?”…I reply “yes…I’m fine…come…we have work to do…”I excorted him out of my office and into the crowd of my co-workers…

THAT AFTERNOON…BACK AT ALICE’S…

I arrive home and change immedialtely hiding my belly from my friend…she comes in moments later after me…I say “hey Alice”…she replies “hey…so what time are you seeing you know who?”…I look over at her and she throws her hands in the air and says…“what?…you told her that you would…did I metion in front of me?”…I respond saying…“I lied…I just said that to get away from her…I’m not gonna see her…I don’t wann see her…” and that’s when Alice said “well atleast call her and tell her…how bad can that be?”…I respond saying “very bad…being that I don’t wanna associate with her period…I just need sometime to myself…I need to find out about getting my own place and then hopefully get over this…” Alice grabs an apple from the bowl and comes and sits down next to me…she takes a bite from the fruit and says…“getting over it how?…and please tell me that your not divorcing her…please Tina that would kill her…” I smirk and say “well…I’m already dead…I been dead for 24 hours now and I have to admit that the feeling is *****…why should I give her the benefit of having ties with me…when I could go my way and she could go elsehere…” Alice comments saying…“I hear you but…you two haven’t talked yet…I think you should talk it over first and then go from there…” I know she’s right but right now I’m not ready…it’s on my time not hers…when I feel like talking then I’ll do it…but not right now…I think about it and said…“okay…but maybe in a few days..I need to clear my head…Al could you do me a favor?”…Alice replies saying “sure…” I say…”could you call Bette and tell her that I’ll meet her Monday night at the planet say about 8:00″…Alice smiles and retrieves her cell that moment…she glances over at me and says…“will do…”… I shake my head and head into the bathroom for my evening shower….
