"Table for two."Xavier requested the lady.

"This way sir."She led us to far away corners.

"What can I get you for a drink?"She took her tab on.

"Two red wine," Xavier ordered.

"No.Make it one.I-I'll just have ice water,"I yelled in hassle.

"Are you sure you are rejecting the red wine?"He raised his eyebrow.

"Umm-yeah."I hooked my head down.

"Why is Isabella Cloe rejecting wine? This is the first time I am witnessing it?"He further bowed his head to look my face.

"I-I interview. I don't want to mess in the interview today."I bit my tongue.

"Of course.Interview.Isn't there any way to pursue you not to resign?"He led his hand above mine making me shiver and tingle butterflies around my belly.

"I-I have made my mind already,"I whispered not meeting his eyes.

"Who will boost my confidence before every meeting?"He sighed.

"I will always be there cheering for you."I chuckled making the mood light.

"But you are resigning."He pouted that made my heart escape a beat.

"Come here."He gestured making me stand on my feet near him.

He hugged me by my waist laying head on my belly.

"Bela you-"His eyes widened like he felt something surprising.

Is it my bump?

"You have put on some belly fat?"He narrowed his eyes linking his eyebrows.

"What??Yeah... I have been missing morning jog."I didn't totally lie. Due to the morning sickness, I was missing my jog.

"You will look cute even if you are chubby."He pinched my cheek making me fifty shade redder.

"What about working once a week?"He proposed.

"What?"I snapped my head towards him.

"Yeah once a week just to summarize the weekday events?"Why can't he understand I won't be able to see him by any means? I will start showing up after a month or so.

"I-I will think about it."I facepalmed myself.

"Think about it but I want my result positive."He demanded. Bossy much? I nodded.

"Ok then let's have our lunch. Have you selected your college yet?"He asked out of blue.

No, I am not planning to study at all but what can I say.

"I have shortlisted some colleges but they are way too expensive."I fabricated my answer.

"I can always help you financially."He met my eyes assuring his support.

Oh, I love this guy so much.

"Just aware me where you wanna study I will process all the formalities."I nodded continuously.

Lying is not my forte and lying Xavier is drowning me deep down. Should I literally apply for some college while I am pregnant just to reflect his sincerity on helping me?
