What a weekend! I had hoped for a calm, relaxing couple of days but boy was I wrong! Bahaha! Single moms don't get that kind of freedom. As always, thank you for reading and Voting. If you are enjoying it so far, please leave a review. I saw someone left a negative review today, but I'm sure more positive ones are on their way!!
ALEXANDER Nathan was one of the few people who had a key to my house, and I was relieved to see that he already had the Patels sitting at my dining room table, waiting for me. I was furious that I had to leave Bailee. She was everything I had remembered and more. I wanted to march right back ther
BAILEE I never thought he would actually call. So, the fact that he didn’t wasn’t a surprise, but it was still upsetting. I had been clutching my phone like it was my lifeline all day, unable to focus on my designs, poking myself with my needles when I tried to sew, and even spilling my coffee dow
BAILEE I probably wouldn’t have done much damage, but it would be a good enough distraction for me to run. “Mason!” I exclaimed as I panted. The immature man grinned at me before looking Lacey over. “What? I can’t come visit the two most beautiful women in the world? That’s a shame,” he said,
BAILEE I wasn’t surprised when Mason took me to one of the nicest restaurants in town. I hadn’t been there before because it cost more than I make in a month, but knowing Alex was inside waiting for me made butterflies swarm in my stomach. Tonight wasn’t for Caleb or the press. It was for me...
BAILEE “What are you talking about?” I asked, and Alex touched my arm, gently guiding me back into my seat. This should have been a romantic date. This should have been a nice night. Instead, I got this uneasy feeling in my stomach from the moment the hostess had led me to the elevator. It wa
ALEXANDER Never before had I seen her so pale. She looked as though all of the blood had drained from her face. “I need to talk to him,” She whispered, and I shook my head. This was not the time to confront him, not while she was so distraught. If she didn’t take some time to collect herself first
BAILEE I watched as Caleb and Mr. Andrews walked to the other side of the room before taking a seat. Mr. Andrews looked guilty, but Caleb smiled at him with a calm, smug grin that made me want to stomp over and punch him in the face. This wouldn’t end well for me, but that was clearly his goal, a
ALEXANDER Bailee was texting furiously on the drive back to her house. The burger and fries I had picked up sat between us, and while she hadn’t touched one of the burgers, she was absentmindedly and adorably, picking at the fries every minute or so before resuming the frantic tapping of her thumbs
HAVEN I was so scared that Ben would be angry at me for going behind his back and calling his parents that I hadn’t even told him they were coming. They were staying at a hotel near the stadium and were ecstatic to meet Siri. That was my big regret with this surprise. Ben didn’t get to introduce
BEN “Is Haven bringing Siri tonight?” Jake asked, and I nodded, unable to stop the smile on my face. The first pre-season game was tonight, and I was over the moon to finally have someone to give my tickets to. They weren't front row since the arena saved those for the high-paying fans, but my
HAVEN Ben’s eyes closed as if he were in pain as I leaned forward and flicked his lips with my tongue. I was bold when drunk, but this… this was a new level. I felt invincible with Ben as if I could act on any urge I had, and he couldn’t or wouldn’t judge me for it. He would just… satisfy me. “
HAVEN I loved them. The women were absolutely incredible. All of them, except Nora, but she broke away from the group fairly quickly. It seemed she was a bitch to everyone, and no one really put up with it. They just ignored her when her attitude started up and wouldn’t talk to her again until she
HAVEN Brinley stayed with us for three nights, which was the best distraction I could have asked for. The girls had been so happy to be together that I didn’t have time to dwell on any of the shit that had happened in the past few months. They needed constant engagement and snacks. I secretly had
BEN I watched with a smile as Brinley held her baby brother, Tristan, for the first time. I was excited to meet him, but I also wanted her to do so before me or Siri did. It was vital for them to bond, and with the bright smile on her little face, I knew she would have no problem with that. Brin
HAVEN The girls were bouncing in their car seats as we pulled up to the hospital's main entrance and got out. Ben handed the keys to the valet before helping Brinley out of her seat while I grabbed Siri. They had been talking nonstop about the baby and how excited they were to meet him, but I drea
BEN “Man, I don’t remember Coach being this intense the past few years,” Jake muttered as he pulled off his gear, and I nodded in agreement, doing the same. It had been brutal out there today, but we needed it. The team wasn’t in game shape, myself included, but we were working hard to power thro
HAVEN “You can’t be serious,” I said as I stared at her in horror. Had I brought a child into the world myself? Yes. Do I remember how scary it is? Also Yes. Do I remember what the doctors had done? No. I was busy screaming and pushing as I ripped myself open to bring a life into this world.
