She had taken the time to curl her hair, which normally she refused to do because of how stubborn her hair was."So," she started, as she turned back to the window. "What made you choose this place to live? The view is really beautiful.""It's really private I guess," he said. His free hand slipped around her hip, stroking it. The gesture made her feel things that she hadn't felt in a while. "Plus, I bought it from a friend, so I didn't need to go house hunting." She chuckled, "oh I know. That's the reason I didn't object when Mira found our house, we bought it quickly. It's really hard to find a place, and when you do, the rent would be outrageous.""So,you are a house owner huh?""It's a joint ownership, we split the bill." He simply nodded, and she stuck her tongue out at him jokingly. He placed a kiss on her forehead, taking her off guard, with a look of admiration."You are so responsible and put together, I find that very sexy," he smiled at her. She laughed, snorting unco

The morning walk of shame had never been the best part,especially when you wake up with a massive hangover, a result of the previous night recklessness. She woke up with a groan, Tegan was still fast asleep beside her. She got up quickly, dressed up and exited the room quietly, careful not to wake her one night stand up. Walking into the house twenty minutes later, she didn't expect Brooklyn to be eagerly waiting for her,nursing a cup of coffee."Walk of shame huh? Classic," Brooklyn chuckled. Mira gasped, clearly startled. She laughed at her expense, as she gestured to the coffee pot, "there's still some in there if you want, I'm sure you were up all night."Mira groaned, making Brooklyn burst into another fit of laughter. "As much as I want to stay here and banter words with you, I really need to take some aspirin, a shower, and that fucken coffee.""Yeah, I definitely took that too. We really outdid ourselves last night huh?" She followed her to the kitchen. "So, how was last n

Brooklyn laid in bed, mad at the fact that everyone thought that she was too pathetic to get over him... But in truth, she was on the path to. Did she still have feelings for him? Yeah, feelings don't just go overnight. But she already chose Aaron, because she liked him a lot too. Why couldn't they just understand that? Speaking of Aaron, her phone dinged, indicating a new message, and it was from him.Aaron: hey beautiful, what are you doing?Brook: nothing at the moment, why?Aaron: can you come over? I want to treat you to a nice dinner, and maybe a movie afterwards?Brook: so sorry babe, I'm going out with Mira today. Rain check?Aaron: that will be next week then, where are y'all going to though?Brook: knister club. Just need some girl time with Mira.Aaron: I understand sweetheart, have fun okay? Brook: okay Boo. It was almost eight pm, and she needed to start preparing. She was still mad at Mira and Tegan, but she was going to tr

"You are home late," Mira said, startling Brooklyn."Oh shit," she yelled. "You scared the shit out of me Mira, why are you up ?" "Couldn't sleep," she shrugged, " where did you go to though? It's pretty late."She raised a brow. "How did you know that i was out?""I was on my way to the kitchen to get some milk, and then I noticed that my car key was gone from the counter. So where did you go? It's pretty late." She rubbed her arms nervously." Well I had to head out for some minutes. ""Oh? To where?"she asked. And when she noticed the discomfort on her cousin's face, she became worried. " is everything alright Brooklyn?"Brooklyn knew that she couldn't hide anything from her cousin,so she decided to tell her. With a sigh,she moved to the couch and sat beside her. "Truthfully? Well, I went to see Brian." Mira shook her head and sighed." Brook, you know -" "I know, I know," she snapped at her, and then sighed, "it's not what you think, nothing like that happened." With a knowing

Brooklyn hurriedly changed out her pajamas, and into skinny jeans and a hoodie... Throughout, the message kept replaying in her mind. Brian: you have some explaining to do. Aren't you supposed to be in a relationship with Tegan? Funny seeing you with a potential boyfriend. Brian: Are you snubbing me? The next message was a picture of Tegan conversing with his boss and a message was attached to the picture. Brian: I found out yesterday that he works for my Manager, it will be really sad for him to accidentally loose his job wouldn't it? Come see me Brooklyn, you have my address. With anger evident on her face,she headed downstairs. She quickly grabbed Mira's car key from the key holder. She didn't have a car just yet, but she made a mental note to get one... She had enough money to get one anyways. Fifteen minutes later, she was driving into Brian's massive gate. She spotted Brian at the front door as she got out of the car. She felt like punching him so hard

"Hey Brooklyn" he greeted, once he was at their table. "Fancy seeing you here.""Well like the say, all work and no play makes you dull" she answered with a strained laugh. Aaron sat there, watching them. There was definitely something about the new guy that made her nervous, who was he?He nodded, and then his eyes drifted to Aaron, "aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?""Potential boyfriend actually" Aaron interfered, cutting Brooklyn off. He stretched out his right hand. "My name is Aaron, and you are?"He simply stared at Aaron outstretched hand. After a while, he replied "Brian Kamryn" ignoring his hand. Aaron slowly withdrew his hands, clearly embarrassed. He had heard about the famous business tycoon, Brian Kamryn. But that didn't give him the right to be downright rude and arrogant... He was a hotshot doctor too."So what are you two doing here?" He asked, his eyes trained on her. Okay so she definitely knew that he was trying to get a rile out of her. She wasn't

They looked faintly remorseful. Jenna had admitted to her best friend how bad they had treated Emma, expecting her best friend to praise her, but she chided her instead. And like a stubborn bitch, she didn’t let the scolding get to her. “Well, it’s a good thing we don’t want her to be our step mother then,” Britney said stubbornly. “You have no idea how good Emma is, I could’ve dated a lot worse. And besides, you’re not kids anymore. Jenna, you’re nineteen, and Britney, you’re twenty, you girls don’t get to act like spoilt entitled brats f “Well if you marry her, we won’t visit you anymore.” “Sorry then, it will be really hard to cope without jobs,’’ he threatened them.“Are you threatening to cut us off?” Jenna gasped. Their father had always been unpredictable; she wasn’t how far he would go. “I wouldn’t test me if I were you,” he warned. “If eventually, Emma and I get married, I will be forced to cut you off if you don’t get your shit together.” After his stern warning

“Especially if he’s moving in, and not just staying over for days or weeks. It’s going to be so different this time, this time he is actually moving in with you.” “I know, I know. He has done well so far though, plus it’s not like he’s selling his house, he can always go to one of them whenever he needs a breather,” she reasoned. But Brian frowned at her in disapproval. “You should never drive a man crazy to the point that he will actually need a breather Emma. I know how you can be, you like it when things are done your way, and when things are done otherwise, you tend to make a fuss. We are so alike in so many ways, and I made the same mistake in my past relationships. I always find it hard to compromise for my partner, adjust, and every time it drove them out of my life whenever they’ve had enough. If he’s someone that you want around for a long time, then you have to make some changes.” “I know, I know,” she said with a grin. “I shall heed to your great advice oh wise one.

“I just want to be with you Emma, do you want to be with me?’’ he asked, his vulnerability shining right through his eyes. Emma burst into tears. She had already concluded that he was going to end things with her, but he had just proven otherwise.She had been really sad, and disappointed that his children didn’t like her, and she was sad that it would affect her relationship with him. But hopefully it didn’t, and she was glad. The only problem was that She was not ready to leave her house for any reason, she loved it too much. After few minutes of silence, she asked. “ Why don’t you want to move in with me?” He sighed. “ This house is too you Emma. Plus the issue with the closet remember? Another plus being that my house is way bigger than yours.’’ “ I will create more space , I promise. Or we could just-’’ He kissed her, silencing her. “ it’s fine Emma. If you want to keep your house so badly, then I will move in. Anything to make you happy.’’ “ Are you sure baby? Will

With how sad he was, if a time came where he was asked to choose between his daughters and her, would he choose her? Of course he wouldn’t, no sane father would choose a woman he met barely few months ago, over his family. Fear suddenly gripped her chest, she suddenly realized that the feud could end their relationship before it even began. And as Drake eyes met hers, he could see how frightened she was. He got up and engulfed her in a hug. The housekeeper couldn’t have seen a better time to open the kitchen door, and let out the family dog, a Papillion. It stood at the entrance of the dining, growling at her, and before anyone could react, it was dashing towards them in full speed. And aiming for Emma’s leg. And before Drake could react, the dog had bitten her, sinking his teeth with extra force into her leg. She gasped in shock, and pain as the dog sank it's teeth deeper, refusing to let go. Drake quickly poured it a cup of water, and forcefully yanked its teeth out of Emma’s

Drake sat at the living room with his daughter, warning them to be of good behavior when Emma arrives, and should refrain from creating a scene. When he heard the front door slammed shut, he left, heading to the living room to check if it was Emma. Once Emma saw him, she began to apologize profusely, and explained that she lost track of time. Drake shushed her by kissing her gently on the lips, and then he gave her a hug. “It’s fine baby,” he said, “at least you are here now. And please let’s try to be patient with my girls, they are still mad about their mother though." “Mad about their mother? Why should they be?” She asked, confused. “They think that I’m betraying their mother by being with you,” he explained. “They feel like I never loved her if I’m thinking of being with someone else.’’ “That’s utter bullshit and you know it, I mean she has been gone for more than two years now,’’ she whisper yelled. “They don’t just expect you to be alone till you die, do they?” “I

The first indication that there was something wrong was when he called her , canceling the plans she had for the girls and her. She couldn’t help but ask him about it. “Is everything okay?” she asked.“ Everything is perfect babe,” he said calmly, “ the girls just have jetlag, so they wanted to stay at home and spend more time with their dad before the return back to school. They don’t want to share my attention yet.” Share? She knew he meant it as a joke, but it didn’t just sit well with her. She wasn’t trying to drag anyone’s attention from anyone, she just wanted to get to know them. She laid out her concerns to Brian the next day during lunch, and he waved her off. “Calm down baby, let’s just give them a little time to take the information in. They probably didn’t expect their daddy to be in a serious relationships so quickly,’’ He shrugged. “So quickly? his wife has been gone for more than two years now,” she said, annoyed. “ I know,” he sighed. “ I think
