Forbidden Temptation Chapter 14
I didn't understand why she came to help me, I should have said something, told her how grateful I was, but I was so confused about the trail of events. I kept looking out. Expecting that any minute Liam would come back for me. I checked my phone.Nothing.I couldn't believe that he'd left me like that, but as time went on, I stopped thinking about him and started worrying about myself. About my future. It was clear that Liam didn't want to be a part of it. Not anymore. Now that he knew the consequences of us being careless. I kept racking my brain, trying to understand. I should have asked how come she wasn't working at the pharmacy or some kind of conversation, but I was ex-hausted. I kept expecting Liam to tell the driver to come back. That he'd made a mistake and he didn't mean it. The reality of being out there for nearly thirty minutes and him not turning back and coming to see that I was okay started to hit home. "I hate him!"She said, "So, you should. God, he

We sat in the car in silence. Rita from time-to-time would look at me and smile. I would do the same with her. The only noise was her GPS directing the way. Only twenty minutes until we arrived at my house and it felt like a lifetime just clutching ahold of my backpack and wondering if going home was the best solution. I picked up my cell which was turned off and debated whether to put it on. I threw it in my bag and then looked out of the window. I just wanted to think about something else ra-ther than my situation. Anything was better than that. "Rita," I whispered, but she didn't hear me so I said it louder. "Rita, do you think that you'll get over it eventually?"She didn't need me to elaborate. She knew exact-ly what I meant by that statement. "I'm healing slowly. Being at home. Working in the pharmacy, even if it's not the most thrilling job in the world has helped."I nodded. "And your friends, do you think that you'll get them back?"She shook her head. "I found out

I grabbed some tissue and started clearing up the remains of my piss. I flushed the toilet and did every-thing robotic like about my trip to the bathroom, but, this wasn't a quick urinating session. I'd done it with a pur-pose and now that it had gone, I found myself feeling emotional one minute and crying like a baby. Like the one inside of me. And the next, I found myself taking deep breaths, trying to clean up with tissue any piss that had splattered onto the floor. The instructions had said that I needed to run the stick under the pee for a couple of seconds. I hadn't peed in so long that I hadn't counted it right. I'd tried count-ing a second or two and then it'd been three, or maybe it was four? Again the doorbell was going, but this time not just the doorbell. I could hear him yelling outside. The one that'd dumped me like a piece of trash on the curb. He wasn't going to go away. I needed this time for my-self just so that I knew what to do next. I stopped crying, and o

I didn't know how long I sat by the door, but from the moment the doorbell rang, I didn't hesitate in jumping up and opening it. "Chanel!"She smiled as she hugged me. "Sorry, I shouldn't have left you like that at the Prom. I never knew. Why didn't you tell me?""Because I didn't want to ruin Prom for you."She pulled back and said, "You kidding me? You didn't want to ruin Prom for me."I nodded as I ushered her into the house and then closed the door behind her. "You've been sitting here in the dark. Adele, why are you doing this alone?"I couldn't tell her that I did part of it with a com-plete stranger. She wouldn't understand, part of me wondered if I knew what was going on right then. Every-thing seemed to be out of my hands, and the craziness seemed to be taking it over because I felt as if I was someone different. A person that I'd never been faced with was coming out of me, and I didn't like it. Not one bit. "And your mom, does she know?"I shook my head a

Mom could have taken around twenty minutes to come home. It could have been longer. The moment she came through the door and she saw Chanel and I on the sofa, she ran to me. "Adele, what's wrong? You sounded weird on the phone and then Liam's acting strange too."I didn't want to tell her or dramatize the situation, but I'd been repeating how this whole thing was going to go. The moment she walked through the door and into my arms, I lost courage to do it. Literally. I'd been visualizing how the talk was going to go and every single time that I replayed it in my head, it ended up badly. That was when I noticed it, as she cupped my face with her hand. A ring. An engagement ring.I took her fingers from my face, as the rough edg-es stroked it. "Mom is this what I think it is?"She nodded, but then hesitated as she said, "Yes, Henry proposed last night. He cooked dinner and I had no idea.""But you haven't even been going out that long. How could you?"She shook h

LiamI couldn't fucking believe my life right now. Eve-rything seemed to go from bad to worse in a flash and I knew that it was my fault. I couldn't fucking deny it. I should have banged down the door and told Adele to let me in, instead of running away like a chicken. The thing that I was good at doing all the fucking time. I took a deep breath thinking about the fact that I let Chanel do my dirty work. A ride on the bike. A sip of Dad's beer in the fridge didn't get rid of the nerves. And the last thing I wanted to do was talk to Dwayne. I knew what he would say about it. That I was an idiot and had a way of taking everything for fucking granted. I knew that, I just didn't feel like being told the obvious. Not today. Not the way that I was feeling. "What the fuck?" Dwayne spat out as I was just about to hop on my bike. I gathered that Dad was with Laurie, which was the best thing, because then I would stand up like a man and tell them all the truth at the same time.I wa

I made up my mind, which didn't mean that things were going to be easy.I rode my bike over to Adele's place. I thought about what to tell her the whole ride. If the way hadn't been so well lit by street lights, with few cars on the road, I might have crashed because I was so fucking distracted. A small corner of my mind even thought it would be a relief, because it would be some escape out of the situa-tion.But I'm not escaping anymore. I can't keep being a fucking coward. I'm going to face this head on, and I need to get Adele to listen to me.I knew it wouldn't be easy. She'd been really mad at me, and I couldn't even blame her.Not too long later, I stood at Adele's door. I didn't knock, or ring the bell right away, because I was frozen on her doorstep. I'd arrived, but fuck it, I still didn't know what I was going to say to her! I turned away from her door and paced down the short driveway, looking up and down the street. I wasn't leaving, just...taking deep breaths to ca

After standing in front of her door for too long, I went back home, and went to my room, leaving the lights off. I just lay on my side on the bed, staring off into space. I wasn't sure when I fell asleep, but the next thing I knew, I was opening my eyes and my room was brightly lit. The first thing I thought of, was what happened when I went to see Adele.I haven't resolved anything.Why did I even bother going to her place if I was going to give up that easily? I should have been more in-sistent. I'd made up my mind, damn it! So why did I suddenly shut down when she said she could do it on her own without me? It was the fate I'd left her to, but it wasn't something I could allow, was it?Get off your ass and go over there, then!But, my body wouldn't move. I felt exhausted myself. I'd fallen asleep in my jeans, t-shirt and jacket. I'd at least taken off my shoes, but I didn't have the comforter on me. I shifted around the bed, just enough to get the covers over me, then I clos

Forbidden Temptation Chapter 53
AdeleI sat on the couch, holding Harmony in my arms. I felt a little bad for taking so long, but when we'd woken up and started getting ready for Liam's departure, I fig-ured it had been about time to let our little girl know that her dad would be going away for a while.She hadn't cried, but she was being pouty about it, and not speaking. I knew, sometime after he left, she'd come to me and cry, and when she did, I would cry with her. Sometimes, things just seemed to hit her late, and when they did, they hit hard. It reminded me a little of myself at times.Liam brought down the last of his suitcases and set it at the base of the stairs, then glanced over at us. He arched an eyebrow at me, but all I could do was sigh."Harmony?" I said slowly, pulling her away from my chest so I could look at her face. She kept her head ducked down, but I tilted it up by the chin, and she final-ly met my eyes. "I know you're sad that Daddy is going away, but he has to leave soon, so why don't
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 52
LiamI was seated in my bedroom, on top of the bed with my laptop on in front of me. It was about time for me to go to school, and I was doing last minute checks to be sure I didn't forget something before I had to leave. I would be leaving for the city tomorrow morning, taking a few things with me to my new apartment that was closer to the school and my job. I would be coming back when I had to time off, but it killed me that I had to move away from my wife and daughter like I knew it bothered Ade-le.Shit, we hadn't even explained it to Harmony right that I wouldn't be around all the time anymore. There were phone calls and video calls, but it was hardly the same."Are you done?"I looked up to see Adele just walking out of the bathroom with a bathrobe around her and a towel around her neck as she wiped at her hair."I can do whatever's left once I get there," I said, closing the laptop and setting it aside without taking my eyes off her."I'm going to miss you when you l
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 51
AdeleIt was getting closer and closer to the fall, and with it, nearer to the time Liam had to go off to law school. As summer was winding down, Liam had to get a bunch of stuff in order before he could leave. The one thing I hated most, though, was when he was looking for a place to stay. I knew he wasn't leaving me, but I still hated that he had to move out of the house.I woke up one day, too anxious to sleep longer, and both Liam and Harmony came down to find me on the couch, and breakfast nowhere in sight."I'm so sorry, honey," I said, referring to both of them, but looking at my pouting daughter. "I haven't cooked anything, but we still have cereal would you like that?"Immediately, she perked up. "Yay, cereal!"She shot toward the kitchen, and Liam grinned at me. I didn't usually like her having cereal, so I tried to lessen how many times in a week she could have any, and she'd already had it twice. She preferred the extremely sweet types, and the sugar rush always h
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 50
LiamWe had a late night, but I still woke up early. My body was too used to getting up at a certain time in the morning every day, I was up before the alarm even rang, and I reached over to shut it off before it got too annoy-ing. Then, I turned to the woman sleeping in my arms.I hadn't moved yet, and already I could feel the aches all over my body that pretty much meant we'd had a really fun night last night. After how that disastrous dinner had been, and then the day of circling each other while I thought of how best to cure Adele of her disap-pointment, I couldn't have asked for a better end to our long streak of no sex.There was still school, and I sighed as I wondered how I was going to work both that and my job into my family life. If Harmony did start going to school at the same time...it would be so much more convenient for everybody.After leaving a peck on her forehead, I slid out of Adele's arms and went to the bathroom. The area around my upper arms and back stun
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 49
AdeleIt had been a whole day since the dinner fiasco. I'd stopped crying a while back, but I was still pretty bummed out about it. Liam noticed, and he'd left me alone since then. I hated that he had, though, because he didn't even come to the bedroom to sleep last night. I must have cried myself to sleep, and when I woke, I found him sleeping on the couch in the same outfit from yesterday with his jacket thrown over him.Since he'd ignored me first, I'd done the same to him throughout most of the day. We didn't eat the food from yesterday, but at least I'd left it all covered, so all it needed was some warming. In fact, last night's dinner was pretty much all we had throughout the day; I warmed separate portions for breakfast, lunch, and din-ner. We ate separately and stayed in different rooms of the house.I hated how it felt like we were in a fight when the reason I was in such a mood wasn't even because of him.Is he just going to let things stay like this? I mused to myse
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 48
LiamIt was evening already. Adele had spent most of the afternoon cooking, and I could smell all sorts of amazing scents wafting from the kitchen. I'd kept my ass on the couch and my focus on the TV, though, so I wouldn't bother her. I could have helped, but... I was feeling a little lazy. And I was kind of uneasy over what Adele planned to do. So I left her alone. She wouldn't give me a plate before our guests were present, but my mouth was practically watering, and my stomach kept growling in hunger.To hurry things along, I got up to head for the kitchen, and see if she at least needed help with some-thing."Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked while leaning against the door. Hoping that her answer would be no.She glanced at me over her shoulder, paused with her arms raised where she was reaching for plates from the cupboard. I walked across the room and reached for the same plates, glancing down at her. She was just standing there, staring at me with wide eyes.
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 47
AdeleMy mom and Liam's dad were going to spend the day with Harmony; Liam's birth mother was even going to join them in spoiling her, and then she was going to spend the night over with them. She was four-years-old already and didn't exactly mind the attention, taking af-ter her dad in one more thing, among others, including her pretty looks.She should be starting school soon...and the idea of it scared me, the fact that she's grown up so fast.Where did the time go?It was something I had to talk to Liam about at some point. For the moment, she was still going to day-care, but it would probably be better to get her into kin-dergarten already instead of waiting too long, or she'd end up older than the other kids in her class.I was pretty much a stay at home mom, even though I'd gone through college and gotten my degree. It wasn't something I couldn't put to use while staying at home, anyway. Considering how far the world had ad-vanced already, it wouldn't be so difficult t
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 46
Liam"Are you going to meet Dwayne?"I looked up to see Adele, my wife, and sweet-heart walking down the stairs to join me in the living room. I was tying up my sneakers, ready to head out."Uh..." I stalled. "Am I not supposed to?"In the past four years since we'd graduated high school, we'd had a baby, completed college, and gradu-ated in our respective courses. Adele and I stayed in her family's house instead of looking for a different place for ourselves, and her mom stayed with my dad at our old house."It's not that you're not supposed to," she mum-bled, joining me on the couch.I rested my elbows on my knees, leaving my sneakers alone for a moment. Adele folded her legs under her on the couch, her arms wrapping around my middle as she settled into my side."What's up?" I asked."Well..." she hesitated. "It's just, I've organized a dinner...""For us?" I frowned, confused. "What for? I don't think I've missed any important dates..."Her arms squeezed me a lit
Forbidden Temptation Chapter 45
There was no huge disaster like I'd been worried about all along. We all got ready in time and then started heading out to the church in groups. Mom and I were among the last, of course, and we got out together and rode in the same car, one of the many we'd rented for the occasion. It was big enough to carry six people, so we each had two friends with us in the car.We arrived at the church just in time. We waited in the car as everyone else got things ready inside, Chanel and Rita waited with us. Once we heard the wedding march playing inside, they stepped out first, and we fol-lowed.Neither of us had someone to give us away. So, we walked down the aisle holding each other's arms. Mom's veil wasn't as dense as mine, so I could only hope that she wouldn't trip, as I learned mostly on her. We each held small bouquets of white and pink roses.The church had been set up so the audience could mingle and sit wherever they wanted. Mom and I had both decided there wasn't much point in
