14. Leaving Him Behind
Last Updated:
2020-11-04 11:27:50I was up already, headed up to the kitchen, and made us a coffee.
What am I doing here?
I felt like I was digging my own hole. I should've been left alone. I was falling already for Brenton. With Collin, it was a puppy love, that grew into marriage over the years. When it all fell apart, I ended up in a loony bin.
God! I should've stayed away from him. I was not sure I could survive if we fell apart.
I looked into his bedroom, and he was still sleeping with his backside up.
Shit! I'm gonna miss him.
I quickly changed, got my purse and my phone. I saw his sketchbook. And start writing my note.
Dearest Brenton,
Please forgive me. But I can't do this, it's too much for me. I fear for my life should anything happen to us. I will cherish the time we had together. I thank you for bein

Chasing His Muse 15. Missing Her
Brenton's POVI looked at the painting, didn't know for how many hours already.I woke up this morning feeling ecstatic, having her in my life. Loving her. I've never even known, I could feel this way again. Not since Marcie, that voluptuous red-haired bitch.But this was much more than Marcie, I couldn't believe that I had fallen for her that fast. Since Marcie I had pledged myself, to never settle to one woman. That I would fuck whoever I wanted, and live happily ever after with my wealth until I was old enough to die.Nobody cared about me anymore, not since I killed my little sister, Gwyneth. God! I missed Gwen. I should've taken better care of her. She needed me, I knew she had been hurting. I should've pushed harder. Maybe she would still be alive. I should've seen the signs. She was never been that brave, she had been bullied because of her weight issues. Mum and da

Brenton's POV"Wow, that's deep man! But, seriously Brent, you got it bad. Looks like you really care about her. I just need you to take care of yourself man. You know, underneath those bad boys tats and piercings I know you're still you." Shane lectured me."Now, I don't do hugs. So how about we go out to my club, and clear the air a bit?" He got up and threw the empty beer cans and pizza boxes in the bin."I guess I can do club, let me shower and get change, give me ten minutes. Meanwhile, you can call Trisha and tell her that I'm good." I shouted from inside my bedroom.We arrived at his club half an hour later. "Damn Shane, business is doing good for you. This place is packed. I never knew you're such a good businessman." I told him as we headed to the bar.Soon as we were at the bar, women started closing in on us. I tried to be polite, but I was just

I knew something had happened, I could feel it in my bones. Just like the day my parents died. My body shivered. God! Please let this be a mistake.I tried to concentrate on making my coffee. But I kept on gazing at my phone screen. Looking at it, wishing it would stay quiet for the day. Then it rang, and it startled me. My fingertips were shaking as tapped the answer button."Nicolette my girl, I'm at your front door. Could you let me in?" Laura asked me on the other line."Yes Laura, I'll be right there," I answered.No...No...I opened the door and looked at her and I knew it. "Brenton? Please tell me he's okay? Laura! Say something..."She just pulled me to her embrace, and let me cry. "Damn it, Laura! I told you! I love him, and this is what happened. I can't do this.""Ssh...my child, he's in the hospital. He was mugged last night and was st

"Nicolette?" He called me out, his voice was raspy."Hey, you." I kissed his lips and brushed his hair with my fingers. "I've missed you, I'm so sorry about before. Please forgive me?". He wiped my tears away and smiled."If I'd known that you will be back, I would do something drastic sooner." I slapped his arm playfully."I love you Nicolette and I've missed you too." I blushed as I remembered his parents were behind me.His father coughed. "Right then, we're going to leave you two kids alone for now. I'm going to take your mother back home to get some rest. Will be back later this evening."I moved to his other side, giving the space for his parents, to say their goodbyes. "We love you, Brenton, please don't push us out." His mom scolded his hair lovingly and kissed his temple."Mum...not in front of Nikki please, I'm keeping my bad boy image here." He tried to laugh, but he gripped his abdomen and took a deep brea

Brenton was sleeping, I was reading on the chair by his side when his parents arrived. Hellen was by my side in no time hugging me."Hey Nicolette, thank you for waiting on Brenton. You could leave now if you want to freshen up and rest?" She asked me politely."Mm... I'm actually thinking of spending the night here. But if you want privacy, I can get back in the morning?" I was a bit disappointed. But I didn't want to take the time they had with Brenton. They sure looked like busy people."Nonsense darling, stay if you want. I just thought you might be exhausted. But if you want to stay, come and let us have some dinner and coffee. I already packed some for us. Let's sit on the couch." I put my book down, and kissed Brent, and followed her to the couch.She brought sandwiches and coffee, but she said they've already eaten on their way here. But she set up the coffee for all of us. And let me ate my sandwi

I walked his parents out of the room and said our goodbyes, then I went to his side."Hey there Brent, I'm sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have bailed out on you like that." I kissed him deeply caressing his hair."Oh Nikki, I'm loving your apology. Could you slide down lower and help my bed a little bit upward. I think the remote is on the table somewhere." I giggled at him, and helped him with his little mission, only to get caught by the nurse.She smiled at us, as she checked his vitals and changed the IV. She said she would be back in three to four hours, and to call her if we needed further assistance."She's gone now, come here beautiful." He grinned at me."Brenton, you need to rest baby." I scolded him."Please Nikki...I've been in this bed for days now. I'm bored, I need a distraction, I need you, I need to kiss you, to touch you.." He pleaded.

It was day four when they finally gave him the clear to go home. He was restless and bored to death."Nicolette, you're coming home with me right?" He blurted out without thinking, then he was grinning knowing his parents were still in the room.I blushed crimson. But Hellen calmed me down. "It's okay darling. Both of you are consenting adults. I trust you both to make the right decision. But I will be glad if you could stay with him to nurse him. That is if you can stand him. If not, I will be taking care of him of course." She scolded Brenton's hair lovingly."Mum. Please. I want Nikki. You and dad can come to visit, just make sure to call ahead." He pouted. He was being a kid now. That was it then."Okay Brenton, I will stay at your place. But I have to get back to mine first. You know I still have to deal with the house." I told him while packing his things into his bag."You know, if you want I can look for a buyer for your h

"My God Brenton, what did you do?" I was opening the door for him, as he was insisting on carrying our bags.His studio was all messed up. Canvases scattered here and there. Paints, brushes were everywhere. My goodness, he had a fallout too, it was all because of me. I looked at him, he just shrugged.I hugged him and rested my head on his chest. "I'm so sorry baby, I didn't know I hurt you too.""I'm good now, let's just move on okay? I'm gonna tidy this up. Trisha is going to come here this afternoon and take all the paintings to her gallery. She's been hounding me for my works anyway. So, it's all good Nikki. I'm good. We're good." He put the bags down and let me go.He started to tidy up the paints and brushes. My tears were falling seeing his paintings. They were all mine, my face, gestures, features, bits, and pieces of me, spread on each of the canvas beautifully.I quickly wiped my

Chasing His Muse 33. Epilogue
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! How could this happen? I'm supposed to be protected. Shit! Did my fall really alter the implant? I was sitting down in a dinner, across my doctor's office. She just confirmed my pregnancy. I had been throwing up for two weeks now. I thought it was a stomach bug, I thought it was because of something that I ate, maybe the classes were making me tired until Marco told me to take a pregnancy test.I put my hand on my stomach, little Brenton is growing inside me now. I smiled and I cried at the same time."You okay mam? Can I get you something else?" The waiter was looking at me, concerned now."I'm good. Sorry, hormones." I smiled at her, pointing at my still non-existent baby bump.Then she left me alone knowingly.I stared down at the busy street. Damn. This was too fast. I wanted this baby, I really do.

Chasing His Muse 32. The Brunch
"Good Morning beautiful." Breton was sitting with my cup of coffee, as he set his down on the bedside table.He looked serious, though it was making me hard to focus when he was only wearing his boxers and nothing at all. Seeing his tattooed goodness, making me drool inside."Nikki, drink your coffee please, and stop looking like you want to devour me, baby." He caressed my cheek as I took the coffee, and started drinking it. I smile looking at the Sharpie's written note on the lip of the cup."Finish it, love." He told me as he rubbed my arm lovingly. I shrugged and drank it, while he waited for me patiently.Then I read the Sharpie's written note on the bottom of the cup "will you marry me?" Then I saw the little navy box, that he was holding in front of me.My tears started falling, I was smiling and crying at the same time. "Well? Will you? I'm waiting to put my ring on your finger." H
Chasing His Muse 31. Coming Home
We came home two days later. I was bored already, now I knew how he felt the last time he was hospitalized."Brenton seriously, I needed to start using my legs now." He carried me to the couch and left me to do the laundry. I missed the couch, the pillows, God I missed the house. I decided to lay on the couch for a while. I was too comfy to move. I crawled myself to the middle of the couch and dozed off.The next thing I knew, he was by my side. The pillows were on the floor. I was resting my head on his chest. His naked tattooed chest. "Mm...I've missed sleeping on your chest. I've missed kissing your chest, holding on in your embrace."I cuddled in closer to him, while he kissed the top of my head. His hands roamed my body, making me relaxed in his arm, moaning his name."I missed this too beautiful. I missed hearing your moans." He cupped my face and kissed my lips sensually, while his hand trailed down
Chasing His Muse 30. Lunch With The Parents
We were about to go to his parents when there was a buzz at the front door.Brenton opened it, and there was a package with my name on it. Brenton looked at me and told me to stay inside. While he walked out and talked to the delivery guy.I was pacing back and forth waiting for him, and when he finally came back, he just told me that it was all being taken care of. But I could tell he looked slightly off."Brenton, what's in it?""It's all good baby I already send it to my lawyer and he will take care of it. Now let's go to my parents." But he pulled me in his embrace long enough, like he was making sure, I was still there and not going anywhere."I love you, Nikki, you know that right? I will do anything for you.""Brenton, what is it? You're scaring me." I tugged his shirt, but he just kept holding me in his embrace.We finally got to the parking lot, a

I woke up the next morning alone. But I could hear music blasting from his gym room. I hadn't really been in there since there was only his gym equipment.I decided to freshen up, brushed my teeth, changed my pad and made coffee, and ate some yogurt with banana slices and since I didn't get to do ballet yesterday, I decided to do my routine in the spare room.I was wearing my black tights and leotard for more support. Then I slipped on my ballet shoes. I was pulling my hair up in a bun when I felt Brenton was behind me and started kissing my neck."Baby your sweating!" I was giggling but I didn't move away from him."I'm gonna take a shower and join you later to sketch you. But first, I need my morning kiss, Nikki." He lifted me up to the kitchen counter and stood between my legs. And started trailing his hands trough out my Spandex covered body. I shivered under his touch.He crushed his

The next morning I was feeling refresh, already showered, and made coffee."Morning Brenton," I whispered in his ear and kissed down to his naked back. He opened his eyes and turned to face me. "Morning beautiful." He sat up and took his coffee, from my hand.He was drinking it slowly, taking me in his embrace. "You smell good love. I miss our shower time together." He licked my neck, making me giggle."Brenton, I've decided that I'll move in with you. I'm going all the way with you here." I grinned at him, as he choked on his coffee."Fuck! Hot! Coffee hot! Damn. You should take my coffee before you got me all excited Nikki." But he held me tighter and gave me a big fat kiss.He was beyond excited, and we went to my place right away and packed all the small stuff and moved it to his.I decided until the house is sold, I'm just going to leave the rest of my stuff there, an

"So, you look tired babe. But you loved it right? Look I'm going to take good care of you okay? Let me just make a quick stop for salt and ice before we go home." He kissed my knuckles, and back to concentrating on the road."I love it, I'm good, I'm tired, and I'm on my period. So excuse my sudden bitchiness, that may make appearances in the next five days." I told him as his face grows with disappointment, making me laughed."I know baby, no worries there are other ways, I can fulfill you sexually. On that note, I was thinking of going for the implant tomorrow since I'm on my period, it could get inserted right away and I will be protected from my pregnancy." I explained to him."We don't have to wait for another week until the hormones kick in." His face lighted up instantly, for the chance of having sex without a condom."Call her now, asked if there's an opening for today. Might as well get in done today." He tapped his fingers on t

I could feel everyone's eyes were on me. Walking inside the ballet studio, with one tattooed goodness man holding my back possessively.Thankfully, Marco saw me immediately and called me out. "Nicolette, there you are I was wondering will you be joining us or not." He gave me a warm brotherly hug."Hey Marco, it's been a while how's Justin?" I tried to make small talk with him, but his eyes wandered to Brenton. "And this is Brenton, my boyfriend. It's a long story with Collin, we'll talk it out at lunch?""Hey there Brenton, I'm Marco. Nice to meet you. You look familiar, are you Brenton Adams? Oh my, you are! Shit Nico, no wonder you've been missing. Can I?" He asked for a hug from Brenton, which he gladly gave to Marco.Damn, this just became more and more awkward. "So, Nikki I'll pick you up after lunch?" He asked looking a bit out of place, with all the tights and the tutus.

"Nikki...hurry up, I'm hungry." He called out from the kitchen."Give me five, babe." I was finishing off my looks, and putting on my body lotion."Hey, beautiful. Come, let's go." He squeezed my ass as I slapped his hand and laughed."You can pick the restaurant, I'm good either way. I'll be eating salads for dinner from now on." I told him as we get in the car."Mm...ok let's get some Italian. Then we go to the grocery store." He kissed me and started to drive off.Dinner was great, we talked more and became at ease with our conversation. I envied him for getting the lasagna, it looked delicious. But I was keeping my salad and eat it dryly.We were getting my groceries when someone called out Brenton's name. He immediately groaned and pulled me closer possessively.Shit!
