Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 79
HAYLEY’S P.O.VI fell asleep in my grandfather’s room. He seemed more comfortable with me there so I stayed. I sat on the couch and made up a stupid excuse about leaving later and I never did. I wasn’t able to sleep long or well for that matter but I knew I would do it again in a heartbeat.Before six, I was up and while I knew I had work today, I had no interest or energy in attending today so I didn’t. I should have felt bad for it but I didn’t. My clients could manage one day without me coming into work for sure.“Good morning,” I told Alana as I made my way into the kitchen.It was obvious she had stayed the night, her eyes were dark as if she hadn’t slept and I knew for a fact that mine looked the same.“You’re still in yesterday’s clothes,” she frowned and I looked down at my outfit.She was right, I had never gotten around to changing and somehow just forgot. “At least I slept. You look like you didn’t sleep a wink.”“Closing your eyes for an hour or two doesn’t count as sleep,

HAYLEY’S P.O.VAndrea- or my mother- stood there with her eyes wide and her mouth open. I wasn’t sure what she expected when she walked into this house. Did she think that we would welcome her with open arms?She turned to me but dad was quick to push me behind him. “Don’t you dare look at her.”“She is my daughter,” Andrea spat. “I deserve to see her, I deserve to know her.”“You lost that right when you gave her away. Stay the fuck away from my family.”“I could sue, you know? I could say I was coerced. Your family was rich, you threatened me, you made me feel like I had to do it. Your mother-”At that point, I knew I had enough. I brushed past my dad despite his attempts to keep me behind him and stopped in front of the woman. There was no pull, nothing that joined us together, I felt nothing in regards to her, she was a stranger to me and that was how I liked it.“You don’t get to say shit,” I cut her off. “I am not a toy to be fought over. You will not blame them for your mistake

JAKE’S P.O.VI took Hayley to my house.I knew it was the only place she would get a semblance of privacy. Kate and her mother had gone out for the day meaning we had the entire house to ourselves, at least for a while.When we pulled up at the gate, Hayley snorted. “Of course you’d bring me here. I thought we were going somewhere different.”“Do you want to go somewhere different?”She pretended to think about it for a while before shaking her head. “I like it here, thank you. Are the others-”“No, we’re alone.”She tried to hide it but I saw the obvious relief on her face at the knowledge. She wasn’t ready to be around people, that was the only reason I had brought her here. She needed time to come to terms with everything, time to gather her own thoughts. Her grandmother had just died, one of the most important mother figures in her life and now, her birth mother was in her face.It felt like an insane coincidence but somehow, I doubted it was. From the way she spoke, it sounded li

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI didn’t realize how much I needed to be out of the house until I was out. It felt like I could finally breathe for the first time in a long time and every day after that, I spent a few hours with Jake and Kate.Maybe it was selfish to leave my father and grandpa alone seeing as they didn’t have anyone but it was the only way for me to stay sane.Dad buried himself in work while grandpa stayed in the house most of the time. He tried to tell us that he was fine but we could see through his façade, he was hurting despite how hard he tried to hide it.The only time he tried to engage in conversation with us was when he wanted to talk about the funeral preparations or when he wanted to demand that we let him move back home. Other than that, he locked himself up in his room which was as sad as it was concerning.It was a lot to deal with- work, the funeral and my personal life but somehow, I made it work. Greg didn’t bother me, the police had stopped sniffing around me and e

HAYLEY’S P.O.VDad was barking orders into his phone from the moment we got into the car.He was the only person more pissed about her presence than I was. I knew grandpa would have been pissed if he had the energy to spare but he was exhausted. He just sat there staring out the window.He didn’t say much for the rest of the day, he just dragged himself up the steps and locked himself in the room. I sat in my room too because I did not want to hear dad yelling at people over the phone as he tried to find a way to keep Andrea away from us.I had barely been alone for half an hour when I heard a knock on my door. I couldn’t respond because I was in the bathroom wiping my face clean of makeup but I heard footsteps and I knew immediately that it was Jake.One glance in the mirror told me all I needed to know. He leaned against the doorframe watching me. I had ditched my dress as soon as we got back and was only in black lace underwear but Jake’s eyes didn’t linger or roam down my body. He

HAYLEY’S P.O.VAt first, I was hoping for someone to jump out with a camera and say that it was a prank. I always knew my grandmother to be an impractical joker but this was truly pushing the limit.“That can’t be right,” grandpa cut in. “Are you sure she put that in?’He nodded. “I tried to advise her against it but she was determined. There is also a stipulated timeline by which you must have done it before the trust fund is distributed amongst charities.”“What’s the timeline?” I asked hoping to hear something like five years.“I can’t say,” he gave me a small smile. “It is her rules, not mine. I am so sorry.”“You’re joking,” I bit back a laugh as I turned to grandpa. “I’m sorry but your wife was insane.”“I’m starting to think the same thing,” he mumbled as he ran his hands down his face. “”What the hell was she thinking?”Dad and Jake were the only quiet ones. Dad seemed lost in thought but Jake- he was staring right at me. I could only imagine the kind of pressure it put him un

HAYLEY’S P.O.VGrandpa returned to his house earlier in the day and I already sent him five messages trying to find out how he was.I didn’t consider myself overbearing but on this case, I allowed myself to be. He claimed he was fine but there was no denying the fact that he was hiding how he felt about the whole thing. I had no idea why he was in a rush to return to the home, I couldn’t imagine going back to the home I shared with a partner for so many years without them.I wanted to visit him after work but I had a feeling he was more likely to slam the door in my face. He was like me in the sense that he hated feeling reliant on other people. He liked to fix things on his own even when he knew he needed help.“You’re back,” I looked up to find Sienna standing at my doorway. “I didn’t think you would be here today. How are you?”I shrugged. My grandmother’s funeral wasn’t a secret and my absence at the office had surely raised a few questions. I made sure to arrive very early before

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI was shaking by the time I got to Jake’s office.Everyone seemed to recognize me. I wasn’t shocked, my face was plastered all over their TVs a while ago with Jake. They knew who I was to him and on another day, I would’ve been concerned about it but today, I couldn’t bring myself to care.I took the elevator up to his office and met his secretary at her desk. She looked up at me with a professional smile but as soon as she realized it was me, the smile disappeared. If there was any doubts in my mind that she wanted Jake, it was gone in that moment. She stared at me like a jealous girlfriend.“Mr. Ryker isn’t in his office,” she told me, a smug smile on her face. “As his girlfriend, I thought he would have told you that.”I just stared at her blankly and made to step past her but she was quick to get into my way.“Move,” I didn’t even bother to try and keep the disdain out of my voice. She was pissing me off.“No one is allowed to go into his office. If you’re truly dat

HAYLEY’S P.O.VKate was panicking and it was pissing me off.It wasn’t that I didn’t empathize with her- I did. I couldn’t begin to imagine how she felt in the moment. I was just strung up as it was and she was making it worse.“Are you alright?” she asked for what felt like the tenth time in one minute and I nodded.I sat on the cold bathroom floor, my hands on the toilet seat simply because I didn’t have the energy to move. My stomach was still churning and my head was pounding like crazy. The last thing I wanted was to get up and throw up again.“Do you need me to call Jake?” she began before stopping herself. “He’s with the police, of course I can’t call him. Perhaps I could pull your dad out?”“Dad is his lawyer,” I cut her off. “They have to be together.”“Should I call an ambulance?”“I threw up, I’m not dying,” I dragged myself to my feet slowly and made my way over to the sink to clean up.I hated the after taste that vomit left in my mouth more than anything.Behind me, Kate

HAYLEY’S P.O.VIt was barely an hour until the end of work when Sienna made her way into my office.Her presence in my office wasn’t unusual. She was the only friend I had here and she loved to make her presence known when I wasn’t with any clients. However, the expression on her face had me freezing.“There’s someone looking for you,” she began slowly. “I don’t even know if I should be telling you about it because it seems like some weird fan interaction but she says her name is Andrea. I told her to leave but she asked me to-”I sighed deeply, not mentally ready for the conversation that was about to ensue. “It’s fine, where is she?”I made my way down to the lobby where Andrea was waiting. She had her hands crossed in front of her and her legs crossed at the knee. From afar, she looked so gentle and calm and not at all like the raging crazy person she was the last time I saw her.Next to her was Makayla but the youngest was nowhere to be seen.I took a deep breath, mentally calming
Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 97
HAYLEY’S P.O.VI stared at the ultrasound picture long after we left the hospital. The doctor had printed it out and handed it to me and ever since, I hadn’t been able to pull my eyes away from it.I sent a photo to my father but didn’t wait to see his response, I just stared.It hadn’t felt real up until this moment, up until I had physical evidence that there was a literal child growing inside of me. The awe hit and shortly after, the fear came too. I tried to hide it from Jake who was over the moon and ecstatic. It wasn’t fear that we wouldn’t be good parents, I knew Jake would be the best father and I knew that he would help me wherever I messed up.It was fear of everything else.It was fear of everything happening, fear that Andrea or Marie would ruin our happy bubble. It was fear that life itself would come between us and wreck what we had built. I knew my child would always have a wonderful support system, I knew they would have people who loved and cared for them but I was st
Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 96
JAKE’S P.O.VI hated meetings, which was ironic considering that they were a necessary part of my profession.There was nothing more frustrating than listening to the same set of people over and over again while they tried to convince you that they were the smartest people in the room. If I had my way, I would have walked out over half an hour ago but I needed to be here. This was potentially one of my biggest clients and it didn’t matter that he was as interesting as fucking dry paint, I had to listen to him.We had done everything we could, outlined why it would be best to work with us and yet he was still hesitant. I was beginning to think there was nothing we could do to convince him.“There’s just something missing,” he continued. “I know you have the clientele and almost everyone is singing your praises.”“But?”“I don’t know,” he ran his hand over his bald head. “It’s just something that I will know when I see it.”“With all due respect, Mr. Brown, I don’t understand. If there

HAYLEY’S P.O.VJake and I had settled in a comforting routine and I had to admit that it was wonderful getting to wake up next to him every morning.He was the perfect partner even though we both had no idea what we were doing. A few night, I had woken up to find him reading a pregnancy book but I never commented on it. He doted on me, making sure I ate and rested all the time. It was cute and I secretly loved it but there was the elephant in the room.We were yet to do an ultrasound.It wasn’t due to lack of time. If it were up to Jake, we would have done it the minute he found out but I just couldn’t. I knew I was pregnant, I knew nothing would change that and yet, I didn’t want it to be real just yet. For the past week, I shut down every discussion surrounding the doctor’s appointment and avoided it as much as possible.It was Friday and I was already dreading the idea of being forced to interact with people I didn’t like and couldn’t stand. I was tired of the team building exercis
Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 94
HAYLEY’S P.O.VThe moment I woke up, I knew I wasn’t alone.I was always able to tell when someone was watching me, even from a young age. The hair on my neck stood on edge and I just felt this sensation all over me. Dad always told me it was normal but some people found it weird. They said it was some kind of sixth spider sense or some shit like that.To an extent, I agreed, because not only was I able to tell when I was being watched, I was able to tell who was doing the watching. Each person felt different: with Jake, his gaze was always heated, it felt like someone was trying to brand my skin with their eyes. With my father, it was softer, more loving but that didn’t make it any less intense.“Hey dad,” I whispered as I sat up slowly.I looked around the dark room and found him seated in the couch facing the bed and I had never been so grateful for Jake dressing me before now. It would have been very uncomfortable if I was still naked in bed.Dad didn’t respond, he just stared at

JAKE’S P.O.VI blinked once then twice, staring at Hayley in front of me and wondering if I had misheard.“You what?”I wasn’t proud of my response but I was convinced that I had misheard. Hayley was nowhere near ready to have a child, she had all but said so herself, she wanted to live first, she wanted to grow first.She must have mistook my words for something else because her eyes grew dark and she stepped back from me. “You don’t have to be involved.”“Excuse me?”“If you don’t want this baby then I am more than capable of doing it on my own. I have my grandfather and my-”“Stop.”She either didn’t hear me or didn’t care. “I have the money and this will fulfill my grandmother’s inheritance clause. I have more than enough to take care of my child.”“Our,” I corrected and that was what caught her attention.“What?”“Our child,” I repeated stepping closer to her. “If you had let me finish earlier, you would have known that I want this baby.”“But you-”“I was surprised and I didn’t

HAYLEY’S P.O.VI wanted to take the test as soon as possible but I couldn’t.I had to wait until the morning because I needed accurate results.It felt like torture to just wait. I hid the tests in my bag but it was an ever present worry at the back of my mind. I could barely go a minute without thinking about it to the point that even Jake realized that something was bothering me.“Are you alright?” he asked and I nodded slowly. “You don’t look okay.”I just shrugged and turned away from him. He sighed and made his way over to me. He was still in his outfit from work but he had ditched the tie and the jacket. I was slacking off on my work terribly, I knew that for a fact and it was my day to plan the team building exercise tomorrow. I still had no idea what to do.“Hayley,” he crouched down in front of me, both hands on my thighs as he stroked my knee gently. “Talk to me, baby. Did something happen to Kate?”“No, Kate is fine. She’s having fun in school. She’s good, this isn’t about
Filthy Desires: A Dad's Best Friend Story 91
HAYLEY’S P.O.VShe looked around in a panic, as if to ensure no one was watching outside before shutting the door behind her.“So,” I implored. “Who is he?”“He’s older, like Jake’s age.”I hummed. “Where did you meet him?”“At a club,” that had my brows rising. The club was not the ideal place to meet a guy. She must have seen the look on my face because she quickly added, “he’s not a typical club goer.”“I’m not judging.”“I know,” she ran her hands through her hair. “I know I should stop seeing her and I want to but,” she sighed deeply. “I know it is pathetic.”“There is nothing pathetic about being in love with someone.”“I’m not in love with him. I don’t think I am. He’s fun and nice but I don’t think he wants anything serious.”“Do you?”She went silent and turned away. “Can I get cleaned for a second then I’ll be back out.”I waved her off. I knew that pushing for an answer wouldn’t yield any positive results so I watched her leave instead. I sat cross legged on her couch waiti
