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

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 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

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. Since I was trying so hard with C
Chasing His Muse 1. My Own Mistake
"I'm so sorry Collin, please don't leave me," I begged him, though I know it was not my fault that I didn't get pregnant. It had been three years now, we had been trying to have a baby since the first year we were married.I loved him once, with all my heart. He was my high school sweetheart. We dated in high school, then we separated because we went to a different college. Then we reunited at our best friend's wedding. We dated for almost a year on and off and decided to get married."You're useless wife, you can't even get pregnant. I should have left you by now. Just leave me alone! I'm so upset with you right now." He slammed the door and left me to get drunk in the next room.I was an only child, and both of my parents had passed away a couple of years back in a plane crash. Since then, I had been independent and on my own, until I met Collin. After our marriage, Collin moved in with me since I got the bigger house.He told me to quit my
Chasing His Muse 2. Loony Bin
It had been four months since I had been here. They called it a Psychiatric Hospital, but it was more like a loony bin as Collin would say.He never visited me, I didn't have any more friends since I was with Collin. I didn't even realize, that I had estranged myself from my friends since I was with him.Day after day, it was all the same here. We would gather for a group session, and a private session with the psychiatrist couple of times a week. Then in between, there were several activities that we could join, there were painting, pottery, games like chess, cards, but I would usually sit in the corner and just read books.It had been peaceful here, I was finding my rhythm. Until one day one of the attendants told me to try another activity. She wanted me to blend in, rather than reading a book and distant myself from others. She said It would help me socialize with others when it was deemed time for me to be back into t
Chasing His Muse 3. Beautiful Sadness
Laura finally left me alone with my book. I love my books, where I could escape from my reality into another world of people's minds. Sometimes I would think, that was my therapy.I would feel better in the inside minds of brilliant authors. Lost in fictions of heroes, knights, and kingdoms where all led up to bravery, strength, and persistence. I would get lost, and caught up in the story and found out another day had gone by, and the sky was getting darker.That day I could feel, someone was watching me from the corner, as I was reading. But I kept on reading anyway, never minding others as I liked to be left alone.Until Laura came to get me and ushered me back to my room. I passed the corner seat and saw a sketch, a beautiful sketch of a woman by the window reading a book with rays of sunshine highlighted her soft pale features. Laura saw to my direction and picked up the sketchbook."It's Brenton's, I
Chasing His Muse 4. Down and Up Again
Collin called me this morning. Laura put me on the line with him, after confirming whether I would like to receive his phone call or not. I said yes to her. Saying I was afraid he would come here if I didn't answer his phone. I didn't want to ever see his face ever again. Not even in another lifetime.He called just to check-in on me. "Hello wife, how are you today? I've got your report from Dr. Raynes in my hand. Saying that you still try to kill your self there, a couple of days ago. Answer me, wife, is that true?" He started laughing and my tears started to fall, Laura was by my side in no time. Knowing I was still on the phone with Collin. Gesturing if I want the call to be cut off or not, I shook my head no to her. I was still afraid that he would visit me. At least I didn't have to see his face when he was mocking me."Well? Can't you speak anymore woman?""Yes, I did. I still want to." My voice was just a whisper now. I was telling the t
Chasing His Muse 5. Dead Husband
Fruits! Fucking fruits!It's like art class all over again. Wait...this is an art class. It was an art class with tattooed handsome goodness standing in front.Well, this I can live with. I started to paint. Sketching my outlines slow then fast, strong strokes keeping my sketch composition proportional.I could feel him behind me, saying nothing. His warmth hovers on top of me. I closed my eyes for a moment then sighed. He lowered himself, put his tattooed palm on my shoulder and his lips lingered beside my ear."Beautiful, nice strong strokes, powerful arch, keep it up, Nicolette." He left me abruptly, his deep voice made me sighed.Deep breath woman! You can do this! Just paint the fucking fruits!You can fuck the tattooed handsome goodness later on! Wait what??
