CHAPTER 7
Last Updated:
2021-06-29 00:59:41I did not realize when I fell asleep. I woke up to the sound of someone’s snores very close to my ear. I looked besides me and saw Josh sound asleep with his head lying on my shoulder. I did not expect to be affected by his touch. I was however surprised when I felt tingles where his body made contact with mine. This scared me shitless because I was afraid to even think that he affected me.
I wanted to wake him up but decided against it. After all it would not be a crime having him sleep at my house. I looked at the TV and the movie had ended so I switched it off. I then lifted his head slowly off my shoulder and laid it on the pillow that I had been sitting on earlier. I then covered him with a blanket and headed to my room. I got under the covers and slept pretty much like a log. I guess I didn’t know how tired I was from my day out with Brad.
When I woke up, I did my morning routine of freshening up. I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast. I know it was a bit too early in the morning but Brad was an early bad, so I had to ensure I cooked breakfast before he woke up. While heading to the kitchen, I found Josh still sleeping in the same position I left him last night. I took this chance to analyze his handsome face. He looked like a Greek god. ‘What I’m I saying’ I slapped my hand on my forehead. My subconscious found him as handsome. He slept with him mouth slightly open and drooled a little.
I debated on whether to wake him up before Brad gets up or have some fun. You know maybe this was the only opportunity I would ever get to be close to him. I decided the latter; after all I was a risk taker. I tapped my chin as I thought of a fun way to wake him up. I remembered I feather I had in my study. I got it and leaned down almost touching his face to mine. I could hear his steady breath brushing across my face. I traced the feather along his face and waited to see his reaction. His mouth tilted up a bit showing a small smile. The freckles at the corner of his mouth appeared making me blush. I pushed my dirty thoughts at the end of my mind and continued with my mission. I continued tracing his face with a smile of my own whenever he swatted the feather away. I traced his toned arms which were lying on his sides all the way up to his neck and ears. What I didn’t expect was to get the reaction that I got.
JOSH POV
I woke up to something or rather someone tracing something on my face and arms. My mind was a bit fuzzy since I just woke up but I knew by heart who it was. I at first thought it was Brad but the scent of her body gave it away. I knew Kira was the culprit. I decided to have as much fun as she was having. I pretended to be asleep and smiled a little due to the tickling of whatever she was using to trace my face. I could feel her big green eyes analyzing the features of my face and wondered what she thought about it. Not to be egoistic but I knew I was handsome since girls fell at my toe begging for my attention back from middle school.
As Kira continued to trace my face and arms, I decided to surprise her with a different reaction than what she was expecting. I sighed in satisfaction as if enjoying the tickling and moaned. I felt the tracing stop and slowly opened my blue sleepy eyes. I looked up at Kira’s face and was a bit startled with the close proximity. I rubbed my eyes and opened them again expecting to find her moved but it was like she was frozen in place. Her face was as red as a tomato and her mouth hang open. I lifted my hand and placed it on her face which seemed to bring her out of her faze. She moved back and her face only got redder if that was even possible. I released a deep throaty chuckle making my shoulders shake.
She covered her face with her hand from the embarrassment which made me laugh more. I got up from the position I was in and held her hands pulling them away from her face. I then moved closer and placed my hand under her chin and lifted her face up. I looked into her deep big green eyes which always seemed to hypnotize me. I then tackled her to the floor and started tickling her. Her laughter was the only sound that filled the house. Seeing her that happy made my heart have some kind of satisfaction.
I know I was one of the people who caused her the most pain in her life and I was sorry for that. I always liked her back in high school but my ego was too big to let me ask her out. She had been the only girl that would make my heart race whenever I saw her. However my stupid young self, made stupid decisions that ended up hurting the only person I cared about. I was the most popular guy in school and was always hanging out with the popular people at school. I did not want to bring Kira into the group because of the kind of people they were. They would never have accepted her and I would be forced to stop being popular, which did not seem like an option back then. Kira was so naïve and innocent to be introduced to a world like mine. I know it was not my decision to make but I did it anyways.

My day was quite tiresome as I finished some work at the office. I dealt with a few clients and attended meetings which was quite tiresome but that did not wipe the goofy smile off my face. I could not get Kira out of my mind and had to be startled when I was asked about my thoughts on the presentation. Most of the people in the meetings had annoyed looks on their faces but even that did not dull my brightness. After all I was the boss at the end of the day. I did not realize that the day had ended and most people gone home until my PA came in to tell me that she was leaving. She was a tall model-like blonde could be described as beautiful. Sometimes I even wondered why she never became a model or a hostess because she had all it took. She had always tried to get my attention like every other lady I had an encounter with. She wore short skimpy that hang tightly onto her body and always left a few buttons on her shirts undone. I had tried countless times to tell her to dress

One week later on a weekend, I was woken by continuous ringing of the front door. I did not expect anyone and I had given my nanny some time off. The only people I thought were at the door would be my parents. I threw on some sweatpants and headed downstairs grumpily. I opened the door with a bored look on my face wondering who was disturbing my peace.Upon opening the door, I saw Melisa with a distraught look on her face. Her make-up was smudged with strips of black mascara running down her face. I looked at her with a slightly worried expression wondering what to do. I was the worst in comforting girls especially crying ones. The only thing I was good at was lying to them just to bed them. She had not said a word since I opened the door. I opened it wider for her to come in and calm down. Maybe then she would tell me what was wrong with her.I however did not expect the reaction I got next from her. She wrapped her arms around me and began sobbing loudly. This made m

I drunk myself to sleep that day and woke up later in the evening. I would tell my parents about Melisa’s pregnancy when we were sure it was mine. I looked around my room and saw all the bags I had packed for college disappointedly. I was disappointed in myself for being reckless and not being able to go to college. I would let them stay packed till we went to the doctors which would be soon. I went around the house lazily wondering what I was going to do with my life. I reached the kitchen and opened the fridge. I knew that my nanny had been here sometime in the day when I was asleep.Whenever she was here, she always cooked some food and left it for me in the fridge. She knew that I wouldn’t cook to save a life. She had been cooking for me my whole life and never allowed me in the kitchen when she was cooking. I found some chicken and some lasagna which I reheated and had for super. After I was done eating, I went to the game room which was in the basement

We entered a room with a bed and some screens which I didn’t know what they were used for. The nurse who had led us to the room told Melisa to lay on the bed and wait for the doctor to come. After a few minutes a middle aged lady walked in and introduced herself as Doctor Adrian. She told us the she was going to be Melisa’s doctor all through her pregnancy. She checked the board she was holding then looked at us. I looked at her with brows raised wondering what she was thinking. She then asked us whether we really need a paternity test done.I was about to ask her whether it was a problem when she explained that the tests should not be done in early stages of pregnancy since it could harm the baby. She also said that it was not always the case but it was a possibility. I told her to proceed with the test to which she just nodded her head. Most people would think that I did not care about the baby’s safety when making that decision but I really needed t

After playing some video games, Derek suggested that we should go out to a party before all hell broke loose. I agreed with him on that. I had to have fun before the results came out determining whether I was going to be a father or not. I lend him some of my clothes so that he would not waste time going back to his house to get changed. I told him to use one of the guest rooms to get ready. In no time we were headed to the party in my Overfinch truck.We partied and danced around with random girls until late in the night. I was wasted completely but Derek had control his drinking. I guess he knew that I needed that party since it could be my last one in a while. I gave him the keys to the truck and he drove us back to my house. He dragged me to my bedroom and laid me on the bed and I passed out in no time. I woke up the next day with a killer headache. The sun seemed brighter than usual and it made my headache even worse.

“Melisa….where are you? Come out from whatever place you are hiding at because I am gonna find you,” I called out angrily the following morning, knocking on her front door impatiently. I was not one to entertain drama in my life but I just could not let what Melisa had done get past me. I did not care if her parents were home I just had to confront her. What she had done could have ruined my life if I had not thought of doing the tests by myself. The front door was opened by her mom with a confused yet scowling expression. Even back when we were dating, her parents did not approve of my and Melisa’s relationship. I did not take it personally since I knew what my reputation was like around town. Not to that I was proud but people always judged and made opinions about everything. I admit to dating and sleeping around with some few girls from school but most of them made up stories just to get noticed around school. “Why are you looking for my daughter, what do you want

The ride home was quiet and the only sound that could be heard was from the roaring of my car. I had been so distracted by memories from the past lately, that by the end of the day my mind and body was tired. It did not take long to get home since it was pretty late in the night and most people had already retired to the comfort of their homes. I tried convincing Sean to spend the night at my place but just like any other time I had asked, he declined my offer. He always said he had to get home to someone and only a few of us knew who that person was.Sean had been engaged to Clara back in our college days and when we got to our junior year, they got married. I had met Sean and a few of my friends and his in a class we had together. Our circle became so close that even after graduating we still kept in touch. Every one of our friends had told Sean that it was crazy for him to get married so young. Some of them even tried to convince him to at least wait until we graduated and
