ADRIANNA“Argh”“What happened last night?” I asked myself as I slowly rose up from the bed.With my eyes closed, I tried to search around the bed for my phone.My hand finally hit something and I knew it was my phone. I brought it to my face and opened my eyes.I checked the call log, and saw that I was on a call with Ethan last night.What exactly were we talking about? I was so tired last night that I didn't even know when I zoned out.Oh well, i would call him later, right now i needed to prepare for work.I pushed myself to the edge of my bed, then used my entire strength to stand up.“Woah!” I screamed as I landed back on the bed.I felt so weak that I couldn’t even stand up. I sat down on the bed for a few more minutes, before I was finally able to stand up again.This time, I had to hold the chair that was beside my bed to support myself.I walked towards the bathroom, but stopped when I got to the mirror.My eyes looked so puffy and I looked very tired. I used my two hands to
ADRIANNA “What is going on Ethan?” I asked, confused, as Ethan had one knee on the floor while he looked at me.He had his head down for a few seconds before he finally brought them back up.“Adrianna,” he began.How many times does he want to call my name? I laughed at that.“On the night of your wedding, when I saw you at the club, there was just one thing on my mind. Who was this beautiful lady? I wanted to talk to you by all means, that i even hung up the call with my best friend that night” he said, as he began laughing.“From the moment I saw you, I knew there was something special about you. The way you smile, the way you laugh, the way you make me feel when we’re together…it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced before”Ethan’s eyes were locked on to mine, as I looked at him.“At first, I tried to brush it off, to not fall for you, but as time went on, I just couldn’t go a day without thinking about you,” he said as he took my hand and gave it a gentle rub.“I…i know that the
ADRIANNA I cracked my eyes open, as the morning sun hit my face. I could hear the lovely birds chirping behind my window. I gave my body a light stretch and slowly sat up from my bed.I took my hand to my eye, giving it a little scratch, and trying to remember what had happened the night before.My lips slowly curled up in a smile, as the image of last night slowly came back.The kiss!“Uhhh!!!” I screamed, covering my face with both hands as a deep blush spread across my cheeks.“What’s all this Adrianna?” I asked myself.“You are not supposed to be feeling this way” i added as I spun around my bed.“I can't, I can't,” I said with a smile.“I need to stop thinking about the kiss, it was just a kiss” i said as my fingers trailed my lips.“But his soft plump lips!” I said in conflict, as the image of his lips on mine came flooding right back.“Nope, not going to think about it anymore!” I said, shaking my head, as I stood up from the bed.“I need to go take a shower, I stink!” I said
ADRIANNA “What are all these?” I asked Ethan, as he brought out shopping bags of different sizes.There had to be close to 20 bags, if i wasn’t mistaken.“Hm. You can check it out” he said as he pointed to the bags.I took one of the bags and opened it up, and in it contained two pairs of pants. I looked up at Ethan, confused.“Pants?” I asked.“Yes,” he replied with a smile.“I got lots of them,” he added.I stood there confused.“But why?” I asked, my face laced with confusion.“Well, now you have lots of pants to wear,” he said as he moved closer to me, giving me a hug.I let the shopping bag fall from my hand as I reciprocated the soft and gentle hug.“And I made sure that they would not be tight for you” he said as he released me from the hug.“Well some might be big though” he added and we both laughed.I looked up at him, my eyes holding excitement. No one had ever done this for me before. No one had ever gone out of their way for me.“Thank you” I said, as I tried to blink ba
ADRIANNATHREE DAYS LATER“Yes Ethan, i would finish packing up everything in like two days” i said as i dropped a box down.“Okay bye” I said as I ended the call.I looked around, and my whole place was a mess. I was currently packing all the things I would need when I started living with him, and oh they were a lot.Clothes, shoes, basically everything.I took the box I dropped up, and walked over to where the other ones were and dropped it beside them. I took out my phone from my pocket to check the time.“Oh shit! I need to start preparing” i said as I walked over to my bed and dropped the phone.I needed to go see Raymond to collect the divorce papers from him. I really hoped he had signed it, because I wanted nothing more to do with him. The memories of that night still haunt me like it was just yesterday. How could he do this to me? After everything? I shook my head, trying to get it out of my head. I didn’t want to think about it anymore, because anytime I did, it always hurt
ADRIANNA “W…what are you talking about?” I managed to say, after standing still for a few seconds. I tried to pull my hand from his grasp, but he was just too strong.“Whose is this?” He asked, as he pointed to the ring on my finger.“Let me go Raymond!” I said as I desperately tried to remove my hand from his.“It is none of your business,” I said.“What do you mean none of my business?” Raymond growled, as he looked at me, his eyes holding anger.It really wasn’t his business, so why all this?“Please let me go Raymond, you are hurting me” I said, as I tried to blink back the tears that threatened to flow down my eyes.“What is going on?” I heard Jasmine ask, and immediately, I felt Raymond release me from his grip. It was as if he had previously forgotten that Jasmine was with us, and when he realized he quickly let go.I brought my hand closer to my chest, and started rubbing it gently to soothe the pain.“I…it’s nothing Jasmine” Raymond told her, as he gave a smile.“What do you
ADRIANNA I woke up the next day, a little tired, but still had the strength to do something. I had to go to work today, since I missed yesterday. I stood up from my bed, my eyes closed and still wanting to sleep more. I searched the bed for my phone, and when I found it, I opened it to find a message from Ethan. He had replied to the message I sent yesterday.“I would just reply to him later” I thought as I started walking towards the bathroom.I took off my clothes as usual, and walked into the bathroom to have my bath. I came out when i was done, and dried my wet body with my towel.I wasn’t really in the mood for something fancy, and out there, so I just opted for something comfortable. A long beautiful gown.I quickly dressed up, and did a light make up on my face. I picked up my purse, and walked out of my door, locking it behind me. I stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving him the address to where I was to go. I immediately brought out my phone, and replied to Ethan’s message.Hi
ADRIANNA “Adrianna!” He called my name, as he slightly waved at me with a smile. With shaky legs, and sweaty palms, I walked over to him, and leaned forward a little.“What the h*ll are you doing here Raymond?” I asked, as my face formed a frown.“Sit down, I came to see you,” he said, as he signaled for me to have a seat.I shook my head immediately to signal a no. “Why are you here?” I asked, as I straightened my back, and crossed both hands to my chest.“I missed you Adrianna, i desperately wanted to see you” he replied, with a smile on his face, which only disgusted me.“How did you even know where I worked?” I asked, my brows raised in confusion. He leaned forward, his hand on the table, as he played with the menu card.“Well, that wasn’t hard for me. I just asked around, and I got it” he said, with a shrug.“What do you want from me Raymond, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, i have given you the divorce papers to sign, i want nothing to do with you anymore” i said.
ETHANI watched as she stood there with a smile on her face. I knew she was really happy to see me. I parked the car, and turned off the engine, stepping down and walking over to where she stood.“Hi Wife” I called her. She blushed, as she looked up at me.“S…stop that. You know how that makes me feel” she said, her cheeks crimson red.“I know, that’s why I do it,” I replied to her with a wide smile. I moved closer to her, giving her a hug, and a light kiss on her forehead.I released her from the hug, and took her hand in mine.“I see you have met the new maid”“Your personal maid”“Anna is it?” I turned to the lady standing beside her, trying to remember her name.She slightly bowed.“Yes Mr. Greene. I’m Anna, Mrs. Greene’s personal maid” she replied.I nodded with a smile and turned back to Adrianna.“You like her?” I whispered to her, as I saw that Anna was still bowing down.“Ethan, don’t do that, she is right here!” She said, as she used her soft, delicate hand to hit my shoul
ADRIANNA “Welcome Anna” I cleaned her tears with the back of my palm. I held her palm in my hand, as I urged her to stand up and come sit close to me on the bed.“Isn’t that disrespectful? I mean i am your maid” she shook her head, as she tried to understand what was going on.I let out a little laugh. “Come on Anna, for now, you are not my maid, you are my friend, a lovely friend that I just met a few minutes ago,” I said, with a smile.“Now come sit” I added, and after hesitating for a while, she finally sat down. I took my hand forward, and leaned towards her, properly cleaning her face smeared with tears. “It’s okay to feel sad sometimes, but don’t let it get to you, okay?”“I know your parents would be so happy wherever they are. They would be so happy that you never gave up” i said, as I held her hands, giving it a gentle rub.“They would be so proud of little Anna,” I added, with a wide smile on my face.I couldn’t understand what I was feeling at that very moment, but I felt
ADRIANNA THE NEXT DAY I cracked my eyes open as I heard a knock on the door. I squinted my eyes, as I tried to adjust to the morning light. I looked around me for my phone. It was on the nightstand. I stretched forward to take it, when I heard a knock again, confirming that someone was really at the door. Who could that be? “Coming!” I voiced, as I tried to sit up and stand up from the bed. I walked over to the door, held the doorknob, and opened it. Standing in front of me was a woman, who looked so young and beautiful. She looked to be about four years younger than me, that would be twenty. She held a tray in her hand, and in that tray contained different foods. “Good morning Mrs. Greene” she said, as she slightly bowed, giving me a smile. Mrs. Greene? It was then I took notice of her dressing. She wore a beautiful gown that had white stripes at the neck area and at the bottom of her dress. This looked to be a maid’s dress and it was quite different from the one I saw the
ADRIANNA “Come have a seat love” I heard Ethan say as I descended the stairs, walking towards the dining. As I reached the bottom step, the savory aroma of roasted chicken and herbs filled the air, enveloping me like a warm hug. My mouth watered immediately, and my stomach protested with a louder rumble. Pregnancy had amplified my senses, and the scent of food was almost unbearable. I followed the irresistible fragrance to the dining room, where he stood by the table, a gentle smile on his face. His eyes sparkled as he watched me approach, and I felt my heart flutter. “Here” he said, as he pushed out a chair for me to sit on. I smiled my heart giddy with joy for this gentleman. “Thank you” I muttered as I sat down. I watched him walk over and took a seat opposite me. “I…i smell chicken” i said, my eyes lit with excitement. Ethan chucked, letting out a little laugh right after. “What’s funny?” I pouted as I held a light frown on my face, my arms crossed to look like I wa
ADRIANNA “We’re here Adrianna” I heard Ethan say as I looked out of the window. I nodded as I tried to blink back the little tears that threatened to stream down my eyes. I couldn’t understand why I was crying, or what I was feeling at that very moment, but I knew that I felt at peace.The car stopped, then honked for the gate to be opened. It took a few seconds, but the giant black gate was finally opened, and Roland drove us in, the truck trailing behind us.I watched with excitement as we drove past the lovely flowers, and my favorite one, Marigold. I was so happy that I was going to see these flowers often now. The car came to a stop in the driveway, and we all came down from the car. Darka, signaled for the truck to be packed where it was, and instantly we began to offload the truck. This took us about an hour to clear out everything, and we were finally done. We bid the truck men and the driver goodbye as they drove out of the mansion. “Finally” I said, as I cleaned the swea
ADRIANNA “How about you move in with me next tomorrow?” Ethan asked out of nowhere. We were still on the way to my house.“Wait what??” I asked, my eyes wide opened. I mean I knew I would have to move into his place soon, but I didn't know it had to be this soon. I had expected that to be in like a week or two because I realized I still had a lot of things to pack.“I mean, don’t you think it would be better to move in now? At least I will be able to take care of you as much as I want” he replied to me with a smile. Well he did have a point, but two days? Would I even be able to finish packing up everything?“B…but that is too soon, i still have a lot to pack up, it might take a while” i said, looking up at him.“Well that is if you are the only one doing everything. I could call Roland and Darka to help, and I can also be of assistance.” He replied almost immediately.“But would Roland and Darka agree?” I asked, confused.“They would be happy to,” he responded.“Okay” I said, as I l
ADRIANNA We arrived at the hospital in five minutes, and I came down from the taxi and paid the driver his money. I walked towards the entrance stepping into the hospital building.I headed straight to the reception.“Good morning” I greeted the receptionist with a smile.She looked up, away from the computer that sat in front of her.“Ohh welcome ma’am” she responded to me with a smile as she saw me.“I’m here to see Dr. Smith” I said, as I placed my hand on the counter.“Please give me a second ma’am” she replied, as she took the business phone to her ear.Shortly after, she signaled for me to go in. I gave her a smile as I nodded.I walked towards Dr. Smith’s office with a wide smile on my face. I stood in front of the door, giving it a gentle knock.“Come in” I heard.I moved my hand forward, holding the door knob. I twisted it, and it opened. I stepped in, greeted Dr. Smith, then took a seat.“Oh Adrianna, what brings you here?” She asked me, with a smile on her face.“Hi Dr. Sm
ADRIANNAThe sun was blinding, as I tried to blink my eyes open. I groaned as I tried to sit up.“Argh!” I let out a light sound, as I felt a sharp pain in my head.What was this pain I was feeling? My head was banging. It felt like a heavy stone had been placed on it. I tried my best to stand up, but I couldn't.I really had to go to work today to explain to my manager why I couldn't stay till the end of my shift. Yesterday after the kiss, Ethan had instructed Roland to go help me bring my belongings and my keys.My mind drifted back to what happened yesterday.The kiss.I let out a smile, as the memory of his soft lips on mine came to my vision.“Uhh” I blushed as I gently hit the mattress with my tiny fingers.“Ethan, what are you doing to me?” I asked myself, trying to stop myself from blushing.I needed to stop thinking about what happened yesterday. It was really unhealthy.I tried to stand up to prepare for work.“Oh shit!!” I exclaimed, as I was forced to sit back down, becaus
ADRIANNA What was I going to do? How could I stop him now? All these questions were flying through my mind in seconds. I couldn’t let him drive away, if i did, there would be no way to stop him.“Wait!” I screamed, as I ran in front of his car, just in time to stop him from starting the engine.“Ethan, please stop! Just calm down”“It’s not worth it, I assure you” I said, as I stood, my arms wide open.Ethan took his hand away from the keys, and opened the car door, stepping down.“Adrianna please, step aside,” Ethan said, as he walked towards me.“I have to go see him,” he added, as he held my shoulders, to gently move me away from the road.“No, no” I said, as I moved back into the position.“Listen, he is not worth it. Just let him be for now”“Please Ethan! I don’t want you to do something you would regret later” i said to him, as I moved closer to him.I placed one of my hands on his chest, and slightly stood on my toe, to be able to touch his face.Damn! He was really tall.I t
