Antonio’s Acceptance
EPISODE NINETY TWO
THEME: Antonio’s Acceptance
IDAHO, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
SENATOR ANTONIO SANCHEZ OFFICE
Jessica strolled into her work premises with a raging confidence. For a week she had ignored Antonio’s continuous plea to abort the pregnancy. He has been asking her to demand for whatever amount she would want but she didn’t. It pleased her to see him beg her because it made him look pitiful. She had no intention of killing her own child, which cancels out abortion.
Antonio had to accept her offer and make her his baby mama. That seemed more productive than ever. For the past few days she had been thinking and making use of Google to determine what exactly to do. It turned out, being a baby mama wasn’t such a bad idea. If she put in more work and Antonio eventually became the governor, then she was settled for life and his influence was sure to help with her own political ambitions.
To strengthen the threat she had made at Antonio, she didn’t show up at work physically and had been working from home which isn’t the most appropriate thing to do being the campaign manager. But, she wanted to show Antonio who the boss was.
Getting to his office door, she opened it without knocking. Antonio paused from the room raid he was onto when he heard the door open.
Throwing out his hands in relief. “Oh finally! You eventually thought to grace me with your royal presence. That’s so nice of you.” He stated sarcastically. He gritted his teeth at her.
Jessica shook her head lightly as she took a seat. “You look unattractive when you grit your teeth. Only few people are allowed to do that and get away with it.”
Antonio sucked in his breath. He knew Jessica was intentionally trying to rile him up. Considering, how much he had been sending her text and blowing her lines up with calls like a crazy stalker. It was obvious she saw him as a joke.
“Stop playing with me Jessica!” He warned.
Kissing her teeth, she glared at him. “You are the one who is playing the games here. Why won’t you just own up to your responsibility and do what is right by your child.” She made emphasis by rubbing her hands on her belly.
Something stuck Antonio in the throat making it hard for him to swallow the dry spit in his mouth. He had become short of words. The weekend when she had announced the news, his wife had noticed his countenance the moment he returned to the house. He had told her constantly that he was fine. But knowing Dolores well she might as well get to the bottom of the disturbance.
“You do know my wife is suspicious of the both of us right?” He asked.
“And how is that my business? It’s not like I am getting in her way or something!” Jessica retorted.
Antonio raised his hand. “Oh please Jessica I can’t take your pregnancy. How the hell am I even sure it’s mine?!”
Jessica opened her mouth in shock. “Is that how you want to play now, Sanchez?”
“Oh, please don’t give me that bullshit. You were sleeping with me when you and that your boyfriend were together. How would I know if you both hadn’t gotten back together since the time you announced that you had broken up?”
“You ungrateful man! I broke up with christopher six months ago and it’s all because of you!” Jessica snapped at her.
“It still doesn’t mean you stayed faithful with me if you could do that to your so called boyfriend.” He argued.
Jessica bit her lips hard, her brain clogging up with so many calculations. If she wanted to save her face, she would have to throw caution to the wind. Antonio mustn’t get to know of her other escapades. Standing up she slammed her hands on the table in a not so lady like manner.
“Be sure that I would let your wife in on it and not just that, we would carry out a DNA on the baby and then we would know who is lying amongst the both of us. You swine!” She turned away to leave.
“Hey, stop right there with the name calling!” He warned her.
“You can’t tell me to shut up, don’t even think about it. Have you forgotten all the times you rammed yourself into me, during meetings, in the office here, your car and so many places without using protection. Was your brain on holiday then to warn you of what might be the outcome?”
That got Antonio to shut up as he slumped into the chair. He had brought the misery upon himself. So there was no way he was getting out of the mess so easily. His whole body weakened. What was he going to tell Dolores and the children? He asked himself.
He couldn’t lose his wife and children because they were the source of his happiness. Not his career or anything else. It was obvious Jessica didn’t care what he had to lose in the process of the confrontation and reveal. He had enough children and didn’t want any other one.
Antonio finally resigned to fate. If he was to protect his family then it was necessary to agree to the terms Jessica proffered. It wasn’t such a bad idea.
Antonio rubbed at his temple hard as he cleared his throat. “Fine, I would take the baby. Just ensure to lay as low as you can. And let me win this election.”
Jessica clapped her hands in delight, she had watched him as the wheels spin in his head. She had held her hands tightly on her waist, hoping and wishing he wouldn’t refuse to be her child’s father. It would save her the stress of searching for stories to tell to the child when he or she grows up.
“It didn’t have to take you this long, you know that right?” She grinned.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Jessica left her chair and she moved towards him. She sat on his table, crossed her leg and leaned towards him.
Antonio shifted uncomfortably. Jessica was one woman he couldn’t resist. So to say, it was his lack of self discipline that had landed him into the mess he found himself in the first place.
“Let’s do this some other time, Jessy.” He muttered, amidst the ripples of pleasure that ran towards his manhood even as she nibbled as his neck.
“Why? You shy?” She teased.
“Thought you were pregnant.” He cleared his throat.
“Haven’t you heard that pregnant women are the most horniest? And it has been a long while I have had a moment with you.” Jessica whispered into his ear.
“Really?” His voice came out in coarse as he gulped hard.
Pushing his chair a bit to the back, she dropped from the table and straddled him. “Just a quick one should do.” She smiled and he unzipped his trousers. Her eyes taunted him at the sight of his hard and ready self.
Just then the restroom door attached to the office clicked open. It revealed Antonio’s wife, Dolores standing with a murderous look in her eyes. “If you want to stay alive by tomorrow, get your bloody ass off my husband!” She screamed.
