"You came back. " Bob watches. " And Sounds sad, actually they both do. Does this have to do with the absence of the other girl? I never saw her again and she was with you. "Bob says while he prepares my lunch.I don't want to talk about it so I don't say anything, Geneva seems to agree with my thought."She loved my snacks, if you did something and she hates you now, me and my snacks have nothing to do with it. "He says and stops the preparation to look at us."Don't look at me, he's the one who screwed up. "Geneva finally opens her mouth but she doesn't say anything nice. She was never my number one fan and it seems like she is even less now."I did nothing. " I defend myself."They don't seem to have done anything, the two seem quite guilty actually. "He accuses and turns his attention to my snack.Geneva doesn't retort, in fact she actually seems to feel guilty. Did she also do something?Bob finally delivers my lunch, I pay for it, which happily leaves the subject of Lillian for
Suddenly the room is completely silent, Geneva and I stare at each other and she looks alert, she's wary looking at me with that pair of bright green eyes, not so bright right now actually."Everything is fine? "I ask.She doesn't answer, instead she breaks down in an overly copious cry, looking sad and desperate. I didn't know what to say, I was afraid to approach and end up making things worse. So I got up, went to the kitchen "and I'm glad I found it the first time". I got a glass, filled it with water and brought it to her who was still crying.I slowly approached the sofa where she sat. I touched her shoulder and when I received her attention, I offered the glass which was gladly accepted.She took a few sips as she tried to calm down, she even sobbed a few times before recovering."I made a terrible mistake. "She says after long minutes of silence."We make mistakes, we are human beings. " I try to comfort her."What I did was terrible, I pushed away the most important person in
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?! "He screams as I pull him out of bed."IT WAS YOU, ISN'T IT? " I yelled angrily."If I'm going to be killed in my sleep, I'd rather know what it's about. "He says moving away from me."What's going on here? Why are they making so much noise? "My dad walks into the room, he's in his pajamas and he looks stunned. "You woke up your sister! "He gets angry."It was your son who came in here attacking me just like that. " Romeo hands me over."Have you spoken to Lillian? Did you tell her that you got rid of the letter she wrote me about the pregnancy? "I completely ignore everything that has been said so far." Is Lillian pregnant? "Elisa asks and only then do I realize that she is now in the room with my sister in her arms."Please tell us this straight, son. " My father asks."Before leaving months ago for who knows where, Lillian wrote me a letter letting me know she was pregnant, but I didn't even get to read it because that idiot got it before. "I'm faith
Mr. Adam Winters It's almost six o'clock in the morning and I haven't slept at all, if I've had two hours of sleep that's a lot. Every time I could get a wink of sleep I dreamed of Lillian. With her leaving, with her leaving me. With her with a huge belly carrying quadruplets. That last dream was what scared me the most. I ended up not containing myself and asked Romeo for her contact, I ended up trying to contact her. A good part of me knew she wouldn't get back to me, I called several times, sent messages and nothing. Even when I explained the misunderstanding of the letter, maybe she didn't even believe me. At six o'clock, I collect my tired body from the bed and take a quick shower. A day at work can distract me from the sudden mess that has become my life. I eat my breakfast " if you can call an apple breakfast " and it's when I'm leaving the house that I have an idea. I still remember the address of the clinic where Lillian's dad was admitted, if he's still there, the clinic
It's a pretty exhausting morning. The day had barely started and I was already full. I wonder how I let my life get to this point.It was frustrating to discover that going to the clinic had not borne any fruit since it was my only lead to follow. I even considered sneaking in there in the middle of the night, but the last thing I need right now is to get arrested for trespassing.Geneva so far hasn't brought me any ideas either, I imagine the trip to the clinic has moved her even more than it did me.The hours went by and for the rest of the day I spent stuck in my office signing and reviewing some papers, I left just for a few minutes for my lunch and came back as soon as I could.At least today, the new secretary wasn't a problem.At the end of the day, I offered a ride to Geneva who preferred to go home alone, I understood and respected her space, it had been a busy day for both of us and I recognized that.My bath was long, they say a hot bath can help you relax but I imagine my
MS. Lillian PorterYesterday was quite a day I could barely sleep at night. Well, that's why and because my belly seems to be growing by the second."Let's go for another day. " I smooth my belly and sigh getting up from the bed.It's eight in the morning when I finish my shower, I get dressed and head downstairs to the kitchen. The house I rented is not very big, but it is what my salary as a supermarket cashier can afford. I know, I have an impressive resume and I might as well keep working as an executive secretary, but a pregnant woman can't get a job that easily, and I needed some income ASAP.Knowing that Adam has been looking for me makes me angry, he must have regretted having betrayed me and now he thinks I'm going to take him back, easy as that. He must think I'm some kind of idiot. If one day I decide to go back to him, don't leave the house because it's going to rain like a knife.It seems he's been looking for me with Geneva "I'll keep calling her that because I can't, an
It's been like ten minutes since I just confessed to my baby's father that we're having twins and he hasn't said a word, he's scared.I imagined him having this discovery in many ways and having different types of reactions, staying silent was not one of them."So... are you going to say something? "I ask.A little more silence. I can't even look at it, it's so weird. Then I hear a sob and I finally manage to face him."You are crying? " I frown and he wipes the tears with the back of his hand."No. "He answers and takes a deep breath."So what's coming out of your eyes aren't tears? "I ask ironically."Okay, it's tears. "He laughs. "Can I play? "He points to my belly."Not before drying that face. "I say making a face. "I was disgusted by tears that are not mine during pregnancy. "I explain and hand over the box of tissues that I leave on the table next to the sofa. I always need it when I watch most movies, pregnancy has made me sensitive."All good. "He takes the box and uses two t
"I don't have to talk about Geneva with you. " I say firm.He sighs heavily and returns to sit beside me, closer this time."I know you are hurt, I would also be with everything she told me. " He takes a break. "But I also know that one day you wanted to find her. Do you remember when I asked about your mother and you said that when you were younger you wanted to meet her? "He asks.I don't answer, I just listen."You are having the opportunity to meet her, in fact you already know her and she is your best friend. "He says, his voice calm."She's already gone. How could I trust someone who lied from the moment she met me? "I ask finally letting my guard down."That was a mistake, but it's understandable. She was just afraid you would pull away before you had a chance to meet her.I sigh. I miss Geneva, I miss having a best friend. These last few months I just haven't felt completely alone because of the twins, but it's not like I can replace her." I'm still hurt."I imagine and giv
