Chapter 4-What Now?

I watched as Mulo drove away.  He had left me with more questions than answers.  I put my hand on my stomach. "What have I done?"  It had been a long day and I was very tired. 

The next day I woke up not feeling sick, which was a welcomed change.  I was hoping Mulo would come over or call but he didn't.  I spent the next few days still waiting for some contact from him, but it didn't come and I was very saddened by this.  After about 3 or so days I decided I needed to get out of the house.  I was hoping the sunshine and fresh air would help boost my mood.  I was at the park and saw a mother playing with her child.  I touched my stomach and the reality of my situation  fully hit me.

I broke down in tears.  I tried to pull myself together and was leaving the park when my phone started ringing.

"Oh great" I said sarcasitically.  It was my mother, I sent it to voicemail.  I couldn't speak to her now not without breaking down into tears.  I manged to get myself pregnant in less than 2 months away from home.  I couldn't tell my parents that, I couldn't dissappoint them that way.  At least not right now.  I started walking back home since the park wasn't that far from my apartment and taking taxis was getting really expensive.  When I got back to my place, there was a guy standing by my door.

"May I help you?" I asked causiously.
"Yeah are you Amari Vinson?"
"Yes."
"Great, I'm Drake and I'll be moving your stuff."

"Moving my stuff, why? am I being evicted?"  My thoughts started to race.  I was sure I had paid my rent, I know I wouldn't have forgotten to do that.
"Look lady, they don't tell me nothing.  I'm just the muscle."

"I think there's been a mistake." I told him "I'm not moving."

"Crap!" he started mumbling under his breath, then he got on his phone.
"Hey where's the boss?"
"Well she said she ain't scheduled to move...I told her that...k I'll let her know."  He finished his call and turned back to me.
"We were hired by a Mr. Dakul to move your stuff.  Now do you know what's going on?"
I could tell he was getting impatient with me.  Mulo hadn't made contact with me in almost a week and now he sent some guy to move me.  I couldn't afford to move.  Then I got a text from a blocked number.
       It's all been arranged, don't worry and just go. -M
I stared at the message for a minute.
"Lady, hey are you moving or what?"
"Just the easle." I whispered still in disbelief that he was just moving me.  No call or anything, just a mover.
"What?"
"The only thing that's mine is the easle.  The apartment came furnished."
"Sweet, this will be the easiest job ever." he said "Here." he said shoving a piece of paper at me.  I looked at him "your new address." he said before I could ask what it was.
I went inside to pack my clothes, then started to call a taxi when I heard him talking to someone. "Yeah she's inside."
I went outside and saw a limo waiting.  I handed my suitcase to Drake then walked towards the limo.
