Heaven Amelie's Point of View

"I want to see you so bad"

I am in the phone talking to Namika. I needed to excuse myself in class because she is calling me nonstop. I thought it was an emergency and it turns out that she just wants to see me. Namika and Primo are expecting their first child. She and Primo announced it during the birthday celebration of Nayana.

Too bad, me and Tres wasn't there during the announcement and celebration. He's two months pregnant and that's explains her weird gestures during the said event. Namika is expressing too much fondness of me. She always wants to see me and according to Primo she is always irritated with him. There are times when she doesn’t want to see him or even smell him. He is having a hard time dealing with her lately.

"I still have my class Namika." I said to her for the tenth time. She is too eager to come her to see me. She is even crying on the phone. I can hear Primo comforting her. Pregnancy hormones got her good.

"I want to see you. Can't you just skip your class" I poked my forehead.

"My class will be over soon. I will go there as soon as I am dismissed." I don't have a choice but to go and meet her again.

I spent the whole weekend in their house. She was clinging to me the whole time. Whenever she lost sight of me, she will she will call Primo and blame him. I pity Primo.

"Okay, me and your nephew is waiting for you. Hurry" she said and hang up the phone. I sigh and texted Deus

To: Mr. Unpredictable

Namika wants me to meet her after school. Primo and her will come and fetch me so you don't need to go here.

I go back to my classroom and waited for my class to finish. Actually, I am not listening to my class. I am imagining random things and just staring on my professor like I am being attentive. I am feeling hungry and sleepy.

Ali is simply sleeping her on my side. Our professor is not even giving a damn. My phone vibrates.

Mr. Unpredictable

Tss. That Preggy is taking all your time but what else can I do.

Take Care. I'll just ask Primo to look after you. Miss you already.

I smile with that message. He's been so sweet and clingy. He is more vocal than before. But he never said the three-letter word yet.

When the class ended Ali is still sleeping. This girl went to party last night and just attend school for the sake of attendance. I shake her body to wake her up.

"Ali, our classes are done for the day." she open her eyes a little.

"Hmmm" she hummed and curled up in her chair again. Her head is lying on her desk. She's wasted. What will I do with this party goer?

"Do you have your car with you?" I asked and she just shake her head.

"Hey!" Kaiden is leaning on the classroom door with his hands on his pockets. He looks so handsome in his distressed jeans, monochrome shirt and timberlands. This guy also has the looks.

"Hi!" I smiled and waved at him. He entered our room and look at the sleeping and wasted Alison.

"Is everything okay?" he asked as he is trying to peek at Alison’s face. He removed some strand of hairs that is covering her face.

"She has a hangover from a party last night and she came her to sleep. She can't even open her eyes to go home due to too much sleepiness" I said and pick Ali's bag on the floor.

"Hey sleepyhead." Kaiden brushed his fingers through her hair. Ali didn't even move. She's sleeping like a log. My phone ring again.

Namika is calling.

She's impatient.

I quickly answer it because if I don’t, she will pester Primo to call me. Primo is a very busy person like Deus. I know he loves her very much but he got a lot of things to do so I am doing my best to help him calm her.

"Hey preggy" I greet her and I can hear her sobbing on the other line.

"Hey, you okay? What happened?" I asked her in the sweetest tone that I can. She needs to be understood. She didn't want to act like that but her pregnancy hormones are making her quite handful.

"Primo is ignoring me. He is being an asshole." she complain sniffing.

I facepalmed myself. Here we go again.

"I am not ignoring you babe. I got a phone call. I am talking to someone on the other line. I didn't mean to leave your questions unanswered." I heard Primo defending himself.

"Calm down Namika. Inhale Exhale." I said and she obeyed. She is listening to me and me alone.

"We are on our way" she informed me. I look at Ali and think of possible ways to help her.

"Ok, I'm just going to handle something and I will be in the parking lot after." I ended the call and walk to Ali. I shake her body to wake her up gain.

"Do you want me to drop you off?" I asked her but it seems like she's not hearing anything.
