Sylvia's P. O. V " So... When are you proposing?" Hazel asked and Alex choked on his wine. Coughing a bit, he glanced at Hazel. " Hmm?" " I said, when are you proposing? You said so yourself that everything is fine now. So when are you proposing? " Alex straightened up, partly glaring at Hazel. " Soon." He muttered. " Soon? So you haven't thought of that yet?" " Hazel!" Her mom spoke up, scolding her. She shrugged. " What? I was just asking a question." I heard Alex mutter something like, " dude, I haven't even bought a ring yet." And it made me chuckle. " Anyway, it's going to happen real soon. Sooner than you expect. Happy now? " " Yeah, whatever. " She mumbled and continued eating. Alex sighed, staring at me. I smiled reassuringly at him. Dinner ended and after a few more conversations with the family, it was time to go. Since my mom was here, I thought it'd be better if I just spent time with her. Alex agreed. " Okay.
Skyler's P. O. V " Let me in Skyler." Patrick murmured against my lips. "Please." I shuddered, not knowing what to do. He coaxed me with his lips, even has his hands touched places. A moan escaped my lips and his hold tightened on me. All of a sudden my senses came running back and I snapped my eyes open. " Patrick stop!" I yelled, pushing away. He looked at me, suprised. I looked away, my body shaking. " I-i can't let you. I'm sorry." I whispered and got out of the water, desperate to be away from him. He didn't move from where he was. " Why are you doing this!?" He said after a while. I stopped but didn't turn. " It's, it's better if we just stayed away from each other. " I said and I hated myself for the words that came out of my mouth. Too late to go back now, I added. " Goodnight." Something squeezed my heart so painfully, tears slipped out of my eyes. Without thinking, I ran out of the place.... Getting into my room, I slammed the do
Skyler's P. O. V Just like Randy had promised, he sent the address of the bar and I arrived at it. Walking inside, I began looking around for him. When I didn't find him, I met with one of the workers who directed me to where he was. Nodding my thanks, I walked to the direction where they pointed. And there he was, his head on the table as if he was sleeping and a couple of bottles in front of him. They were right, he was dead drunk. Taking a deep breath, I walked towards him, lightly tapping him on the shoulder. " Hey... Wake up." I muttered but he didn't move. I made him sit up and he groaned. " Come on Patrick, I have to get you out of here." " No. " He muttered, his speech slurry. " Go away. Leave me alone." I searched his pockets and found his card keys, he had come here with his car. I contemplated dragging him to his car but with the way he was drunk, that would be impossible to do alone. I quickly requested for help and one of the workers were kind en
Skyler's P. O. V Shifting uncomfortably in my seat, I tried not to look at Patrick's direction. His gaze has been on me since the meeting started. Even though I dared not glance at him, my body still prickled. What if he remembered? That question hasn't stopped haunting me. I desperately hoped he didn't, I don't think I can bear a confrontation from him. Mr Kentucky, the owner of the company was talking about a bunch of things I didn't quite get but they were mostly based on Patrick. As the meeting was rounding up, he asked Patrick if he was satisfied with the operation of his company and would like to continue to continue their partnership since he's proved their transparency. Sitting up, Patrick cleared his throat and began talking. " Well, I am greatly satisfied with the operation of this company and would love to continue with the partnership. " He replied and Mr Kentucky beamed. " That's great to hear. This is one partnership that will greatly benefit both
Skyler's P. O. V Sitting in my apartment and crying my eyes out, I couldn't help but think about what will happen today. Today Patrick would be leaving to New Jersey and I did nothing to stop him. I'd probably never see him again and if I did, he wouldn't want me. How could I have let this happen? I was about to go into another round of tears when my phone rang. I stared at it before sluggishly picking it up. A part of me wanted it to be Patrick. It wasn't him. It was Evelyn, a friend of mine who had introduced me to Mr Kentucky. I dried off my tears, sitting up. Taking in deep breath, I picked up the call. " Hey..." I called out, my voice hoarse. " Hi.... Are you okay? You sound weird." " Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little sick." " Oh, okay." " Why'd you call?" I asked, clearing my throat. " Uhmm, since you're not longer working with Mr Jamison, I thought maybe you'd like to come with me to Singapore, we could find a job there. " She announced.
Skyler's P. O. V " What!?" Evelyn asked. " How's that even possible?" " I slept with him while he was drunk and left before he could realise who I was. " I replied, cleaning off the tears. " How could you do that? " Evelyn asked. Shaking her head, she added, " Who is this person anyway?" I took a deep breath, shuddering. " Patrick... Patrick Jamison." " Mr Jamison? Your former boss? But, he already left for New Jersey! " " Exactly! How am I going to tell him I'm pregnant for him if he doesn't even remember he slept with me? " I said, looking up at her. " Oh my God... This is worse than I thought. What are you going to do? " " I don't know, " I muttered, staring ahead. " I really don't know." We fell silent for a while until Evelyn glanced at her watch. " Oh, shit. Our flight will take off soon. But you can't go like this. What are we going to do? " I sighed, standing up. " I'll have to stay behind then." I replied. " You go, I
Sylvia's P. O. V " Skyler, are you pregnant?" I asked but Skyler didn't say anything. Picking the rest of the things from the floor, I held her hands and dragged her to her apartment, watching as she opened the door. We walked in and she sat on the couch, not meeting my gaze. " I asked a question Skyler, are you pregnant?" " Yes! " She suddenly screamed. " Yes, I'm pregnant. " She said, her eyes glistening with tears. I was gobsmacked. " For who?" I finally asked. " For Patrick." She muttered, her voice barely audible. My mouth hung open. Skyler, pregnant for Patrick? How did that happen!? " H-how?" I stuttered. She sighed heavily, before telling me everything. I could only stare at her, too shocked to speak. " How could you let that happen!? How could you have gotten pregnant for him?" I said once she was through. " I don't know okay? All I know is that I'm pregnant and I don't want to be a mother yet." Tears streaming down her
Skyler's P. O. V " Skyler, is it true you're pregnant?" He asked and I gulped, all the blood draining from my face. I stared at him for a long time, unable to say anything. Eventually he gave up asking me and walked right in. " How did you find out?" I found myself asking. " How are you even here? " He didn't look at me, just glanced around. He stopped when he saw the drugs on the table. Stomping towards them, he picked them up and glanced at me. " Have you used this?" He asked. I shook my head. " No. " I whispered. He picked them up. Looking for and finding the toilet he poured all of it and flushed it down. Then came out, still fuming. Walking towards me, he stopped just inches front of me, his eyes boring into mine. " I asked you a question Skyler. Are you pregnant? " He muttered, his voice low but very angry. I looked down, tears forming in my eyes. " Yes." I whispered at last. " Yes, I'm pregnant." " Why didn't you tell me?" " I di
Sylvia's P. O. V Three months later, Skyler gave birth to a baby girl who they named Piper. Since I was quite heavy at that time, I was unable to visit them but Patrick video called us to tell us about the experience. Even though he looked quite exhausted, his voice was rich in happiness. I chuckled remembering the things Skyler told us about Patrick while she was in labor. " He screamed more than me in the labor room. The doctor's started looking at us weird at one point!" I recalled, chuckling. " Well, what can I say? We're one weird couple." Patrick said in defense. Skyler chuckled, pulling his cheeks. " How many months left Sylvia?" Skyler asked after we were done laughing. " Three to four months? I'm not so sure. I'm ready whenever he's ready." " You nervous?" She asked and I breathed in, nodding slowly. " Don't worry, you'll be fine." She said and I smiled in gratitude. " Well... We have to go now. Skyler needs to rest, sh
Skyler's P. O. V. After the proposal, Patrick and I got married. Sylvia and Alex attended and I was surprised by it since we didn't as attend theirs. Due to my condition, it wasn't a large party but it still managed to be wild. We also didn't travel for our honeymoon, we did it right there at new Jersey. Sylvia used the opportunity to tour New Jersey one more time before heading back to Oklahoma. All in all, it was a lovely experience and I enjoyed every minute of it. ... (A few months later) Alex's P. O. V Skyler is seven months gone now and Patrick had suggested we meet up so we could spend some time together before the baby comes and he begins to take his role as a dad seriously. Tyler was there too and it was quite and experience. " First things first, before we go into any serious conversation. May I ask why we're ordering fruit wine?" I asked, glancing at the two of them. Tyler was the first to speak up." I'm not sur
(Three months later) Sylvia's P. O. V The past few months as a married couple have been amazing! Alex and I have established a routine that suits us. Him making breakfast in the morning while I make dinner and then, we do the dishes. It's been amazing so far and I've been really enjoying it. Laying in bed after some passionate moments together, My hands drawing invisible lines on his body while he pulls me closer to himself, I felt content. Feeling a bit bored, I stroke up a conversation. " Alex, How do you feel about having a baby?" I asked and I felt him stiffen. He cleared his throat, readjusting himself. " A child would be lovely but I don't think I want that now." He replied. I raised my face up, staring at him. " Why?" I asked softly. He heaved a sigh. " Well, I-i still have a ton of things I want to put in place before that comes up." " What if I pregnant?" " Are you pregnant?" He asked instead, his voice slightly alarmed.
Skyler's P. O. V I stirred in my sleep, my eyelids fluttering. Moments later, I opened my eyes, staring at the room. This is Patrick's room, my subconscious muttered. Speaking of Patrick, I looked up and saw he was still sleeping. A smile crept up to my cheeks as I stared at him. He looked completely brazen, his hair completely tousled as a result of last night action. Remembering last night, I blushed, chuckling. Who knew that would happen? Snuggling deeper into his arms, I willed myself that enjoy the moment before he woke up. Almost as instantly, his hands wrapped around my waist, drawing me closer to himself. I laughed when I saw the grin on his face. He was already awake! I raised myself up, kissing him lightly on the lips. " Good morning..." I whispered against them. One eyelid fluttered open as he stared at me. " Good morning...". He groaned before deepening it. We pulled apart a we could catch our breaths. " How was your night?" He asked, ca
Skyler's P. O. V " What?" I found myself saying. " Another baby. Let's make another one." He repeated. My eyes slowly widened, my cheeks heating up as I understood what he meant. But I was still confused. " Patrick, are you...?" " No I'm not. I'm perfectly sane, I just really wanted us to make another one." He repeated, his eyes boring into mine. I took a step backwards, slightly shocked. Is Patrick being serious right now? Does he really want to... Oh forget it! " If you want another baby, why are you still standing there?" I asked. It took only a second for him to process my words before his lips came crashing down on mine, his hands wrapped tightly around me. I almost fell due to the impact of the kiss but Patrick quickly steadied me. Hands wrapped around each other, body pressed tightly against each other, it was a frenzy. He lifted me up and I immediately wrapped my legs around his waist, all the whike not breaking the kiss. His hands pulled the ni
Patrick's P. O. V I hurried out of the bar the moment Sylvia finished talking. Getting into my car, I started it up and began driving to Skyler's place. Arriving there moments later, I skipped all the way to the door, desperate to see her. One push at the door knob and I froze. It's locked. Skyler wasn't in. She's gone. Again. Groaning out loud, I ran a hand through my hair. Come on... This can be happening! How long as she be gone for? Where did she even go? I brought out my phone to call her but of course, it didn't go through. " Think, think, think Patrick..." I muttered, pacing around at the hallway. Is there anyone she must've told. " Okay... Her job as my financial advisor was temporary and Darren told me she was introduced by his financial advisor... Evelyn!" I gasped out, snapping my fingers. Scrolling through my contacts, I looked for and found her contacts. Pacing around at the hallway, I impatiently waited for Evelyn to pick up. " Hello..
(Days later) Patrick's P. O. V These past few days have been hard. I sighed, thinking about the day Skyler and I argued. I tried talking to Skyler but she won't let me see her, won't answer my calls and also not reply my texts. It's confusing and frustrating. Eventually I just gave up on it. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. Picking up my phone, I got ready to go out. I need to get out of here. Sitting down and mopping around won't do any good.... Skyler's P. O. V Packing my things, I angrily dumped them in my boxes, muttering words to myself as I did it. " I can't keep a friendship, I can't keep a relationship... I can't even keep a baby! " I yelled the last bit out, slamming the box shut. Falling to the bed, I groaned out, trying to stop the tears from falling. These past few days have been freaking hard. Patrick called thousands of times, left texts but I was too scared to answer. I didn't know what to say to him. Eventually he just
Patrick's P. O. V. We stayed a few more days at the hospital due to the doctor's suggestions. They needed to watch Skyler's health to see if it's recovering from the miscarriage and remove any left over blood tissue that didn't bleed out. Hours before Skyler was discharged, Sylvia called. " Hey...." She called out, her voice light and happy. I sucked in air. " Hi..." I muttered, breathing out. " How are you? How's Skyler?" " I'm fine, she's fine. We're both fine. " I said, a bit wary. " What about the baby?" She asked and I stiffened, my grip on the phone tightening. I wanted to lie but decided not to, it wouldn't make any sense. " You didn't answer that question." Sylvia said, her voice low and edged with concern. " Is everything okay?" " No. Something happened." I finally muttered, glancing at Skyler's ward. " What happened?" " Skyler had a miscarriage. She lost the baby. " " What!? " " Yeah. Two d
(Three weeks later) Sylvia's P. O. V The wedding was a success. Just like Patrick had said, they didn't come to the wedding but Tyler and Olivia did. They even brought little Jeremy with them! For a young couple, they looked really happy. I was happy and also jealous of them. We said our vows in front of the church and exchanged rings. We even had a little party. It was fun but Alex kept it short. Then announced that we'll be going to Manchester for our honeymoon. " But... That's where you studied!?" I asked the moment he told me. " Yes. And it's why I want to take you there. It's really lovely there." " Okay... Can't wait. " I muttered, grinning. He smiled and kissed me on the cheeks. I blushed slightly. The very next day, we flew out of Oklahoma to Manchester. Settling in, he became my tour guide, showing me places he had visited while studying there. There were so many places to see! And had our first night as a married couple in a reso
