Once Upon A One Night Stand

She had found something that would mean she'd never be poor again-but there was a catch. She had to marry him, the father of her child. But what do I know about him, aside from the fact that he is fucking rich? What should I do now? My parents would surely despise me if they found out about everything. I am their only hope of escape from this place. Think, think, think, Laura!

Laura comes from a not-so-well-off family. Both her parents are working very hard just to send her to college, with the hope that she could make their lives easier in the future. That's why she was now in deep shit after that night that led to her pregnancy. But after he got that call from Derrick, the guy from that night, she was torn between accepting it or rejecting it. After that night, he had someone keep an eye on Laura. Kind of a stalker, right? That is how he found out that she was pregnant. And he wanted to take full responsibility and marry her.  

I woke up with a heavy head the next morning. I barely had a decent sleep because of the many thoughts that were going through my mind. I have to meet him later, Derrick. I still don't know what to do. His offer is so tempting that I want to grab it, but damn, I know so little about him. The only thing I knew about him was that he was the CEO of a multimillion company. I had to prepare myself for what was coming. I took a bath, dressed in my best clothes, and applied red lipstick. I should at least look decent when I meet him. For my pride, at least.

When I arrived at our meeting place, I was greeted by a young lady. She guided me to where Derrick was waiting for me. Gosh, he looks so dashing in a white shirt and ripped jeans. I lose my composure for a while when he stares at me like I am some kind of food that he is about to devour.

"You're late, Laura."

I thought that I would not be able to write another prompt for TMDWA. Most of my readers wanted a second part to my article yesterday, and so here it is. I looked for something that would perfectly suit the second part of what I had written yesterday and got lucky because I found one. I had fun and was not so much in a rush while writing this one because I already had an idea of how the story would be and I just needed something to start it with.

Here's a tip for those who want to take the challenge but are hesitant because of the thought that they need to be quick at typing and thinking of what to write. If you run out of words, simply continue to tap any letters on your keyboard or phone screen. Then if you have something to write, just delete those letters and keep on writing. Just don't let the screen idle for the time being because your work would vanish.
