Phoebe’s POV "Hangout for what exactly?" I asked him looking at him. "You know," Dave said, "Have drinks, play games, have lots of fun." He exaggerated the fun. At that, I could see that red light blare in my head. No one had to tell me that. "Define fun in your language." Roxanne said. "Like getting to know each other..." He trailed opening his arms. That infuriated me. "I'm fucking pregnant!" I said loudly. A few heads turned. "Uh-oh." Roxanne said. "Wasn't that hint enough?" I asked as he looked at me startled. "I have a boyfriend and so does she." I said to them. "Alright, alright." Dave said as they both retreated still facing us and raising their hands plicately. Good. Did I overreact? Then they turned and left. I looked at my friend and there was this… Roxanne burst into a serious feat of laughter and I'm forced to join her as I couldn't help myself. Yeah, that was it… "Did you see the look on their faces when you yelled?" she asked still cracking up. "I kno
Phoebe’s POV It was 10:46pm and Asher hadn't returned nor called me or even texted. Cole had texted that they had gotten to their hotel room about two hours ago and had asked if I wanted anything which I had declined. The more I waited the more I kept imagining what Asher was doing with that girl. Coraline or Cordelia whatever her name was. I was startled by the sound of opening and closing of our hotel door. It was Asher. He stood looking at me for some minutes. I kept silent. "What you did was immature Phoebe." he seethed. "That was a low blow." Who the fuck was he telling that? "Now you're talking to me about immaturity and low blows?" I asked him. "You weren't supposed to insult her like that and shit." I laughed unbelievably. "Whew!” I let out. “I can't believe you're saying this to me." I said. "There was absolutely nothing to get angry over." Asher went on and I just kept watching him like I was seeing him for the first time. "So I was gonna sit there and watch
Phoebe's POVI stirred and felt a sharp pain on my tummy.Ouch! That hurt.I look around me and realized that I'm in a strange room. The only things in the room were a bunch of wrapped ropes at the corner and a spade.I felt pressed.Where was I?I looked around. Flashes of the last things that happened before I blacked out resurfaced and played in my mind's eye.Shit. My eyes started welling in tears.Asher was right all along. Jacob indeed was dangerous. I searched around me but couldn't find my phone. They had taken it. Even my baggage was no where in sight.What am I gonna do? I asked myself as I looked around the room. I really needed to pee and the strange pain in my tummy was getting intense. Why was my stomach hurting?I managed to get up from the floor I had been lying on and get to the door. I tried the handle and found out that it was locked so I hit the door hard with my palm. The door clicked and a muscular bald headed huge white guy that wore military pants came in."W
Asher's POVOnce again going by the way I knew him, I knew his mind was already made up.He was going to make me think he was going to let Phoebe go, then he was going to kill her after I had agreed to do his job, and then kill me when I was done.Because Miller left no trails behind whatsoever to any crimes he committed.He was a well known drug lord. Feared and revered by many.Had many connections even with the cops and so for them to continue to keep him fucking clean, he didn't need any tags.Which was why I came with a plan. "No," I said. "How is it going to be like Miller? I always take the upper hand."Miller and Jacob stare at me and then I yell."NOW!"A bullet flies straight into Miller's forehead and his shocked body stood for three seconds, before slumping to the floor and everything happens fucking fast. I lung after Jacob and engaged him in a combat."I'm going to get Phoebe!"Diego said as he leaves his hiding place holding a shot gun in his hand.Jacob was mine. The
She must have already had it all figured out. I kissed her. I was so in love with her. "It's perfect. You're perfect and I love you, Phoebe. My own personal Maserati.” I said, kissing her again. "I love you too, Asher." she said smiling at me. “I’m not yours, though.” I smirked. “Maybe… but she’s mine. My personal Jaguar.” She laughed at my words, to our new born. I had just given her a nickname to a car, within minutes of holding her. Couldn’t wait to be a father to her. So pretty… so soft. .... ~Three years later~ Phoebe's POV I stand in front of the mirror as I stare at the stunning knee length grey dress I was putting on for my matriculation. I finally did get into NYU and I was gonna be majoring in English literature. A year ago, Asher had graduated with a degree in Entrepreneurship and project management from the West Carolina University. In all, we had all moved over to New York so that I could pursue my degree in the university of my dream; New York University. Av
Phoebe’s PovWhitney and her minions!Oh, how much I hated them. They always found a reason to pick on me. Now, they had poured a bowl of the water from the lake on me. Therefore, my clothes were already the color of the lake. And, I stunk badly. Like a dead fish.
Phoebe’s PovI couldn’t believe what I had just read. What was Cole up to? Getting Asher to attend the karaoke party was like a death mission embarked on. It was unfulfillable, you know.“What? Are you insane? This is never going to happen.” I expressed immediately, g

Asher’s POV"Woo-hoo!" Cole yelled as we exited the airport hours later in San Juan. "Let's get this party started." he said and Phoebe and Roxanne laugh. I smile, shaking my head.We all boarded a taxi that took us to the hotel we were gonna be staying at for the vacation.Phoebe, Cole and Cole's girl, Roxanne kept chattering on and on about the places they'd like to visit while here on vacation and all that. They looked eager and please to be here, especially Phoebe.She needed the break. I was eager too. This was going to serve as some form of relaxation and get together for both of us and I was glad we took it.We arrive at the hotel and I'm amused at how they're all amazed at the place. Cole's a pussy by the way. "Hi, I'm here to book a double suite." I say to the receptionist as we entered luggages in hands and stuff."Alright, let me check if there are any reservations." she said, while clicking away at her keyboard. "I'm sorry, there aren't any double suites left. They're all
Phoebe's POV"Everything all set?" Asher asked me as he entered our bedroom."Yep." I said as I finished zipping up our mini luggage.I was wearing big grey denim jeans with one of Asher's big sky blue tees. My long hair was packed in a ponytail and I put my sunglasses on my head. Asher wore dark skinny jeans and a plain black tee shirt with booths. We were both ready for the vacation.I had packed a few clothes and most of our toiletries alongside a few other stuffs. We were going to be meeting Cole and Roxanne at the airport to San Juan island.We all decided that that'd be a perfect place to visit and stay for our vacation."Passports and stuff all ready."I said to Asher coming out and stuffing our passports and few documents into my hand bag. Asher took the luggages to the trunk of the Uber we had ordered.We figured it'll be better we ordered a ride to take us to the airport rather than leaving our car at the airport. We boarded the car and drove off after I had ensured that we
"Hey." he whispered, when he got to us. "Hi." I said, continuing to smile as he kissed me softly on the lips. "So this is where you've been all day?" I asked him beaming. He shrugged and looked me over. "This dress suits you perfectly." He said admiring it as his fingers swirled the loose strands of my hair playfully. I laughed at twirled sweetly for him to get a better look of the dress and his smile broadened. "So, tell me why you made 'post prom'. And how much money you have to make you organize this.” I told him as he grabbed a drink for us from a passing waiter who had a tray filled with drinks. "We didn't get to attend prom and I saw you needed it so bad," he shrugged as we both stared at the party in front of us. "So I had to do it to make you feel better." "But you said it wasn't important." I laughed grateful he did it anyway. "I did, that didn't make that true." He said smiling at me playfully as he took a large drink of his drink. "Now can you quit your questions an
Phoebe's POVIt's mid February and today Cole called me.Last night was prom and he said it was exquisite. The decorations were top notch and he got to dance at prom with Roxanne. Cole had told me that Whitney had won prom queen. I had rolled my eyes at that. Like she had any competition.He said some other dude won prom king. While Cole and I spoke, I had my legs in a bucket of ice.My feet were getting swollen a lot these days.Asher usually massaged them for me but he wasn't home now. He'd been out since morning. And I couldn't go to work today because I wasn't feeling so strong and Veronica had agreed that I could stay at home for today.My pregnancy leave was beginning this weekend and she and Mia had assured me that they'd both take care of things till I returned. It's kind of funny how they both made me a part of their small family.Mia was like the sister I never had and Veronica made me feel safe. Like I had two mums.Speaking of mums.My mum and I have been speaking too. She
