2024-10-29 19:42:56A week passed by, I was used to being around Nate and also got familiarized with the city. It was so different from New York but I loved it. It was Saturday and we were both chilling in the house.
"How about a movie, Thompson?" Nate asked as he sat down on the couch next to me and placed an arm, lazily around my shoulders.
"Stop annoying me, I'm trying to read," I replied, not taking my eyes off the book that I was currently reading. He snatched it from my hands and closed it without placing the bookmark, "God, you are such a jerk," I started to hit him on his arms. He pushed me against the couch and caught my hands, pinning it to both my sides.
"Have some real fun, babe," he laughed and I noticed how adorable he looked. I kept staring at him and my gaze flicked to his lips. I badly wanted to kiss him. I felt his hot breath on my face and noticed his eyes fall to my chest. He quickly let go of me and sat back against the couch.

I kept waiting for him to come home so that I could talk about us. I wanted to know why he made a move on me after all these years. It was almost 11 pm and still he was a no show. Was he avoiding me on purpose or was I that bad? My thoughts were killing me but I built some courage and sent out a simple text.'Where are you?'No reply.Should I Call? No way. He would think I was some desperate chick. I waited and waited before finally giving up. I decided to call it a night and went to bed with mixed emotions. I didn't want to jump to conclusions. I mean, there must have been some kind of emergency, for him to leave me like that. I convinced myself and fell asleep, thinking about one huge achievement of tonight apart from sleeping with Nate.I was not a virgin anymore!The next morning, I woke up around noon, still feeling a bit sore down there. The memories of last night came f

I walked inside the living room to find Nate and a guy who I think was his friend, playing video games. I tried to walk past them but Nate interrupted me just as I was about to cross the couch."Hey, why didn't you wait for me in the morning?" he asked, not peeling his eyes off the screen."Had some pending work at school," I lied effortlessly and he paused the game to look at me."You could have told me, Becs. I would have woken up early," he stated genuinely and I wanted to punch his face for acting all normal."It's okay. I didn't want to bother you," I gave him a small smile, tucking my hair behind my ears."Woah, dude. You didn't tell me your friend was hot," I heard his friend speak and looked at him for the first time since I entered. He was a fairly good-looking guy with shaggy blonde hair and hazel brown eyes that roamed all over my body and I mentally scoffed, walking away.

A few days passed by, things were somewhat normal and suffice to say, I was used to it. Nate and I were busy with our jobs during the weekdays and we only hung out during the weekends. We spent our time mostly exploring the tourist spots in the city.It was one of those weekends again but Nate offered me to hang out with his friends instead. I wasn't interested so I shot him down and decided to go on my little adventure. I got dressed wearing a peach summer dress and let my hair loose. I applied minimal makeup and grabbed my sling bag, shoving my phone inside it. I locked the apartment behind me and started to walk down the streets and noticed a small cafe around the corner. I made my way towards it to have my breakfast."I'll have a Spanish omelet and a cup of coffee," I smiled at the waitress and took out my phone. I started to google some places that were nearby and was so lost in my phone that I didn't notice someone sitting in front of me until

I heard the bell go off for the day and quickly collected my things to leave before I could face Xavier. I didn't want to give him the wrong idea and lead him on as I was already fucked up emotionally."Becca," I heard Hannah's sweet voice just as I was about exit the classroom.Crap!"Where are you going? You usually say goodbye to me," she pouted, making my heart melt. I bent down to her level and rubbed her head."I was just in a hurry sweetheart, so sorry," I kissed her cheeks softly and said goodbye. She nodded in understanding, hugging me tightly. I hugged her back and once she let go of me, I stood up in a rush and turned around, only to bump into a rock hard chest and I felt a pair of strong arms around my waist. I gasped as the familiar musky scent hit my nostrils and I already knew who it was.Speak of the devil!I lifted my eyes slowly to find him, smirking down at me. I

"I'll drop off Hannah at my mom's place and pick you up at 6?" Xavier asked, standing near the classroom door."Yeah sure," I gave him a nervous smile. I was still not sure if I was doing the right thing. I was skeptical about taking the leap but I was so damn tempted. I wanted to jump his bones already and tried so hard to control my raging hormones."Where are you going without me?" Hannah asked, looking back and forth between us and I didn't know what to say to that."I have told you about adult meetings, remember? You can have cookies at Grandma's house, baby, and I'll pick you up tomorrow," My heart flipped, watching him talk to her so adorably.God, even this was turning me on."Okay," she nodded, giving him a huge grin and they both waved me goodbye. I left immediately to get ready for our date.Once I reached home, I started rummag

I felt fireworks exploding inside my body as he kissed me. Maybe I was exaggerating but I didn't care. I wrapped my arms around his neck, tugging at his hair as he pushed me against the kitchen counter, his fingers digging into my waist. I let out a soft moan as he slipped his tongue inside my mouth and his left hand traveled down to my boobs. Fuck, every single inch of my body was on fire. I could feel myself getting wet as he slipped his hand under my thigh to wrap it around his waist."Ever since I saw you in this dress, all I wanted to do was tear it apart except for the stockings and fuck you senseless," he breathed against my neck as I held on to his shoulders to balance myself.So he speaks dirty too!"We could remove it instead of tearing," I whispered, batting my eyelashes innocently and he looked into my eyes, deeply."You are so beautiful, Rebecca," he swallowed hard and crashed his lips to mine again, li

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face as I entered my apartment the next day. I honestly couldn't remember being this happy and it felt so unusual yet satisfying."Where the fuck have you been?" Nate roared from the living room with his phone in hand and I frowned at his tone."I thought I made it clear when I said I was going on a date,""You should have been back instead of staying the night like a whore," he snapped, making me gasp. I walked closer towards him in shock, hurt evident on my face, "Crap, I didn't mean it---" his words were cut off as my palm connected with his cheek."Go to hell, asshole." I stomped off to my room, feeling like shit. My mood was completely ruined by him. How could he even say such a thing? I tried to control myself from breaking into tears and lay on my bed when I heard the loud ringing of my phone. I pulled it out from my purse to see my mom's name."Hey Mom," I cl

After walking down the streets aimlessly to clear my mind, I came home late to avoid facing Nate but he was already waiting for me in the living room.God, I felt like I couldn't have my own space. Maybe I should move out. This was definitely not working out for both of us."Becca," he started."Nate, please. I'm exhausted and I don't want to have another argument," I tried to walk past him but he stopped me by standing in front of me."I just want to talk, no arguments I swear," he held up his hands and I let out a huge sigh."Fine, go on." I folded my arms in front of me and he took a deep breath."I was genuinely surprised when you said that you liked me and I realized that, us," he gestured between us, "sleeping together should have made it worse for you,""No shit, Sherlock!" I muttered under my breath."I'm so s

Silence.The entire room was filled with nothing but dead silence and he looked like he was frozen.Was is it a good reaction or a bad reaction?"Xavier?" I called out, trying to bring him out of his trance."Are you sure?" he asked in almost a whisper and I nodded with a small smile. Tears started to flow down his cheeks and he just hugged me tightly. I could feel so much love in that single hug which made me cry along with him. There is a saying that 'Actions speak louder than words' and it was absolutely true."I love you so much, sweetheart. You--I can't believe it. Fuck, I'm so glad that we are having another chance at it," he stammered and I could sense nothing but pure happiness in his voice."I know. It's going to be fine this time," I cooed, rubbing his back which only made him hug me tighter."Heck, I wouldn't mind dying this second because I'm so damn hap

A year later,“Okay, so what’s so special about this dinner?” I asked for the millionth time as I curled my hair in front of the mirror while he was fixing his tie“Wha-- Who said it was special?” his eyes went wide and I pursued my lips into a thin line.“You are wearing a suit and look at me, I look like I’m going to a freaking prom.” I gestured towards my satin red dress that reached till my knees and he gave me a throaty laugh, snaking his arms around my waist while I continued to work on my hair.“I wish I was your prom date. I would have let you take my ‘oh so precious virginity’,” he replied, making me laugh out loud.“You lost your virginity at prom?”“Not important, Thompson. So now to answer your question, my mom wanted to invite us to a fancy dinner. That is all.” He shrugged but I felt like there was something more to it.“Alright,” I sighed, feeling tir

"Why didn't you call me?" Nate yelled and stood up from his chair with such force, enough to draw attention in that small coffee shop. I called him earlier today to catch up with him as it has been a long time."Shhh! Shut up and sit down," I hissed. I just told him about the whole baby thing and that's the reason for his behavior. He looked so damn angry."I know you guys are in a good place now but none of this would have happened if he hadn't stormed out that day, Becca," he muttered in annoyance and I rolled my eyes."Not this again, Nate. We both went through hell because of this but I'm not going to blame him or you or anyone. It just happened and it's over so just leave it," I mumbled silently, not meeting his gaze and neither of us spoke for a while."I'm so sorry, Becs." He whispered in a soft voice and looked at me with so much concern. I gave him a small smile and tucked my hair behind my ears. The coffee

"Are you still going to give me the silent treatment?" My mom asked while I was packing the remaining of my stuff. I've been ignoring her for the past week and she knew she messed up big time. I wasn't ready to talk to her just yet."Come on, Becca. I'm leaving today and I really don't want things to be weird between us. Maybe we could sit down and talk like adults," she spoke again and I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath."What do you want me to say? That I forgive you for hiding something so huge from me?" I yelled, taking her by surprise."I was just trying to protect you, baby. I can't see you in pain and I knew how much you would have been hurt," she tried to explain and I interrupted her."Well, anybody would have been in pain if they lose their baby. It's not something unusual, mom. I don't care if it hurts me. Yes, shit happened and it's okay...I just want you to be honest with me. I mean, I can handle it

"Are you going to talk to your mom about this?" he asked whilst pulling me closer towards him. We were curled up on his bed and I wanted nothing but to remain like that forever.This was so much better than going back home and dealing with my mom. I needed peace and quiet right now."I don't know. I'm so mad at her, Xavier. I mean, why would she keep something like this from me?""Maybe to protect you," he murmured against my neck and I turned around to face him."This protective nature of hers is getting out of hand. I mean, I can deal with pain and loss. She is hurting me more by hiding stuff from me," I whined and he just nodded in understanding. I ran my eyes all over his beautiful face and let out a huge sigh."Have I told you how much I love you?" I whispered as I looked into his eyes deeply."Yeah and I love you more than that," he kissed my nose and I smiled, closing my eyes

"What are you talking about?" I let out a nervous chuckle. It can't be true. I would have known if I was pregnant. We used protection and I was on the pill. Nothing made any sense."It's true, Rebecca." He whispered with a pained look on his face and I swallowed hard, "When I picked up that call, the doctor started to speak thinking I was your mother. He said something like if she wanted to know whose baby you were carrying, she needed to bring in a blood sample or a cheek swab to do the paternity test,"Whose baby?Fuck!Holy fucking shit!I felt my head spinning with all the news that was thrown at my face. My mom knew about this all along and kept it from me. I was fucking pregnant and I lost my baby. The huge question was, whose baby was I carrying? Xavier and I were together for only a month before the accident.Was it Nate's?A tear escaped from my eyes and I

I couldn't understand what just happened and stood there like an idiot, trying to process everything. There was a call on my mom's phone but he left saying he had to pick up Hannah. It made no fucking sense.Did he just lie to my face?I picked up my mom's phone from the table and checked the call logs. There was a call from an unknown number. I tried to call that number again but it went straight to voicemail.Fucking great!I went back to my room, feeling super confused and mad. Why did he leave me just like that? I mean, a few minutes back, we were kissing and now he was just gone. I wasn't even sure if he was mad at me when he stormed out of the door. I picked up my phone and typed a text.'Is everything alright? Are you mad at me?'No reply.I laid back on my bed, waiting for his response all night but he didn't text or call back.Ugh! And they

One and a half months later,"Ugh, I'm so bored." I groaned in frustration and looked up at the clock. It was 5 pm and Xavier should be here any minute now.I kept flipping through the channels, feeling bored out of my mind. This has been the same routine for the past one and a half months. I wake up, eat, watch shitty shows, or read some books and stay in bed all day. I missed my job. Xavier was the only thing that was making me feel sane and happy. He used to come and visit me every evening with Hannah and that was the best part of my day. My mom was trying so hard to take care of me and work at the same time. I know it was exhausting for her but she never gave up."Hey, I'm just heading out." My mom called out from the living room, breaking my chain of thoughts."Where?" I shouted back, in confusion. I mean, where could she possibly go. She was new to town and she doesn't know anybody.

Xavier's POV:I kept pacing outside the hallway, waiting for her mom. I wanted to convince her to let Rebecca stay here with me. In fact, I was planning on asking Rebecca to move in with so that I can talk care of her better but I didn't want her to feel pressured or anything.Baby steps!"I thought you would be inside with her," I heard her mom's voice behind me and turned around to find her, narrowing her eyes at me."Well, I was hoping to talk to you, Mrs.Thompson." I took a deep breath and felt my palms go sweaty.Shit! Why was I so nervous?"Talk about what?" she asked, folding her arms in front of her and I was feeling intimidated already."I want Rebecca to stay here because I'm fully capable of taking care of her, Mrs. Thompson." I stated confidently and waited for her response."I can see how well you take care of her," she replied sarcasti
