Waking up had to be the hardest part of it all, I wasn't even going to pretend I'm okay, better yet there was no one to pretend to.
Bellamy did come back at some point in time this week but I couldn't look at him, not when he's so happy with his new life. He would mostly come back to fetch his stuff or check if I had signed the papers.
I had yet to sign those papers but I couldn't find a pen anywhere in this room that has been my habitat and safe haven for a while, I moved away from the master bedroom because of all the memories that were in there.
My phone had been no better seeing as to that I still had to delete his pictures but I couldn't bring myself to do that, I couldn't find the will to get rid of anything that represented us, I couldn't get rid of us.
Finding the courage to finally call my mother and tell her what's happening in her worthless daughters life, I brought the phone to my ear and heard the antagonizing sound of the calling tone.
Waiting for her voice to shout over the phone into my ear a small smile made its way onto my face, I missed her.
"What do you want child!?" She shouted just as I anticipated, breaking out into laughter that soon turned into cries trying to talk but nothing came out, she sighed and I could see her features soften in my head. "What did he do baby?"
"He doesn't want me anymore," I cried into the phone clutching onto my chest wanting to rip my heart out, to get rid of this hurt that's in me.
"Baby," she spoke so softly only adding onto the hurt I was feeling, the crying becomes worse when somebody comforts you...odd.
"I'll be fine," I cleared my throat trying to sound strong enough so that she could somewhat believe me, but hearing that snort was a great deal enough.
"Mhh, I'll be there in the morning," she said in her 'you know you need me' voice, why do all mother's do that?
"Okay, I have to go now...I err have to start packing my stuff and probably go get some air."
"Don't worry baby, we going to whoop some ass when I get there!" My mother said and I could hear my dad laugh with her.
"Mom that won't be necessary, please d-"
"Baby that man done strip you of all you is! Don't let him win the last round," I know and I have mentioned it before that I changed for Bellamy and to suite his lifestyle.
"I know, but I honestly don't want to get into another complication with him-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence before my mother was screaming in laughter on the other side of the phone.
"Complications! Baby that man is leaving you ain't no complication there, it's just him moving on from your submissive ass."
"Wow, thanks mom really needed that," I hung up the phone before she could reply and looked around me, I really have to clean all of this up.
My mom was crazy and sometimes she wouldn't have a filter and would just say things as she sees it, not caring who it was even.
I was the last born out of three brothers, now normally the last had to be the favourite and the one you had to hold onto and not want to let go off, but in my family, it was quite the opposite.
My family celebrated my engagement, and not because I had found 'love' but only because I would be getting out of their house and leaving their overly loaded testosterone humble home.
But just like any daughter, I would still check up on my mom, dad and brothers although they lived far away from where I did and it would be impossible for my mom to be here in the morning unless she would leave tonight but I know she won't be coming anywhere.
Damn, he had almost really succeeded in isolating me completely, but he kind of did. We live in a different city, I don't really have friends and I couldn't call his friends mine, his mother passed away when he was young and his stepmother is no better just like his dad.
Well, Robyn, it's time to stop thinking about how you're alone and get to work!
Getting out of bed, I gathered every piece of garbage around me and walked downstairs only in my shirt knowing I'm home alone.
Grabbing a broom and dustpan, I cleaned the bedroom and packed my stuff too, I know we hadn't decided who keeps what but I don't see myself living here anymore.
In fact, I don't want anything of his, I will someday finally find the courage to delete all of him out of my life but until then, I just want to start out fresh and possibly away from here.
So I don't have a job, I did finish school but I don't think I'd want to be cooped up in an office after this divorce, I've always liked kids...maybe I could get a job somewhere in that area.
Once I was done with the packing and cleaning, I took a shower getting rid of all the dirt my body has managed to collect- and please don't judge me- for the past three days. I'm disgusted with myself too.
Wrapping a towel around my body I headed downstairs again to make some food, and I don't mean all of this junk I have been feeding myself, but I want some real food.
With the towel on my head, drying my wet hair I took out what I felt like eating and even started playing music, trying to uplift my mood and surprisingly it worked all too well.
Moving my hips along to the song, I compiled my sandwich loving how the melted cheese ran down it making it look irresistible to not eat.
Still moving along to the song I turned around with my half-half eaten sandwich and my eyes fell on a person I never thought I'd see until next week, nevermind seeing him...I'm in a freaking towel that does not even reach my knees and I was dancing in that very same towel!
"Bellamy," I breathed out, studying him. From his Greek god body dressed neatly in his grey suit that complements his eyes, oh let me not forget that dashing smile that's directed to me right now.
"Hi Robyn, it's been long since you danced," he teased walking closer to me and leaning against the island, his eyes travelling up and down my body as his tongue ran over his teeth. "What's got you so excited?"
His accent, oh my! How in the world did his parents meet and come to the conclusion they want to make a baby together beats me.
Bellamy's dad was British and his mother French and he was beautiful, devilishly beautiful and he knew it using it to his advantage.
"Getting a divorce, nothing is as exciting as your husband leaving you," I mustered up a smile and took a bite from my sandwich.
"Robyn," he sighed and I interrupted him.
"The papers are on my bed with a few alterations, I'll be out of your house by next month," I said quickly moving away from him as he took steps closer to me.
"I'm sorry, okay?" He brought his hand to my face and his thumb swiped under my eye.
"I'm sorry too," that I couldn't be who you wanted to be. "Go on, fetch your papers and go be happy!" I smiled and he gave me a small smile and opened his arms.
"A hug goodbye?" Laughing I walked into his arms and hugged tightly breathing him in for the last time, stepping away from his hold he pressed a kiss on my forehead. "Goodbye, Robyn."
"Goodbye Bellamy."
Two years laterThe men all sat in a room going through the files their bosses assistant had handed out to all of them.Studying the contents and learning everything in detail they waited for him to come in and brief them.Ezekiel stared at the picture of the girl in the file memorising every feature and curve, he found her extremely gorgeous and enchanting. Paging through the file he learnt more about her, her age being twenty-four she was young, really young and he couldn't understand how she somehow fell in Reed's radar.Although he was admiring the girl, Ezekiel was one to always do his job without any distractions, and he only hoped he wouldn't be stuck with monitoring.Reed entered the room, and just as the room was quiet, it stayed quiet waiting for the boss to speak."The file you're all looking at is of Robyn Barreau, Bellamy's 'ex' wife," he raised his fingers in inverted commas before putting his
Realising what I had just done, I opened the door again and he was still standing there. This man was gorgeous and he was smiling at me, and he is my new neighbour!"I'm sorry for doing that, that was super rude of me and I normally don't act like that. Oh god, you probably think I am a weirdo and I'm just making it worse by rambling off and not getting to the point which I will right now. Hi, I'm Robyn," I stretched out my hand for his and he just looked at me amused bringing his hand to shake mine."I'm sorry, I didn't get that because you said it all so fast. What's your name again bunny?" He's obviously not from here, he has an accent but I can't pin it anywhere, "Canadian," oh so that's where he is from."Bunny?" He only smiled and cocked his head to the side still holding my small hand in his huge hand that felt rough but nice to hold, "Robyn, I know it's a name that's normally given to boys but-""I like it," he said looking into my eyes, "Well I'm
HOW WE MET.I was standing in front of the wall trying to navigate where my first class was, I came early so that I could find it quicker but no luck here. Giving up I turned around and somebody bumped into me making my books fall.The person quickly helped me pick up my books and left in a rush, he didn't even bother to offer me an apology. Walking away to the class that was just down the hall, I entered and it wasn't fully packed yet.Sitting alone, I took out my note pad and I doodled as I waited for the class to begin, for one this isn't what I wanted to take but my mother said accounting would be the best foundation for me and a great career, I would just 'fit in great'.One thing with my mother is that I never have a say against her word, it's either I do as she says or get out of her house, perks of being the only daughter, I have three older siblings and they are all boys and have absolutely nothing next to their names yet t
I had just gotten back from another meeting with Reed, he wanted to know our progress and if anything was bothering us and whatnots, just a huge fucking waste of time.Slumping on the couch I tried to massage my head but thinking of how Robyn went out with this Jason dude was unsettling to me and if it hadn't been for the meeting with Reed I would have followed her, just to make sure she was safe.I heard the door slam closed and there stood Robyn in her shirt and shorts with her hands on her hips looking flawless as ever even if her braids are tied in a weird way right now."Where the hell were you Ezekiel?" she asked still standing by the door and I just stared at her, "Don't look at me like that, you weren't here when I came back," she whined walking over to me and throwing herself on the couch before putting her head on my lap and threading our fingers today."How was your date?" I asked smirking but I wasn't happy she went out with Jason. She s
It had been four months since Ezekiel moved into the building, and had been two months of us having conversations while we drank tea, he still didn't like it, but I vouch he would come over not only for the conversation but for the tea he so 'hates'."You won't believe what Mrs Hades asked me today!" I exclaimed remembering my conversation with her today earlier on before I went to work."What did she ask you?" he asked amused already knowing where this was going, so Hades had to be the woman who knew everybody's affairs and I mean everybody in this whole building, if you ever wanted to get information from her about your enemies, all you had to have was a bottle of wine and some weed, and get everything you ever wanted to know from her that easily!She is in her sixties and she has quite a tall finger, it just seems shorter because she's old and it looks like she's bending over slightly. She was slender and had deep burgundy hair that was cut short but it defin
B: Can you please come to fetch me?- Why?B: I want to run with you today.She even inserted a smiley face in the end, Robyn never runs and I have always tried to force her to go out for a run but today she was really surprising me. I hadn't checked the camera's for a long time because I have been trying to respect her privacy and get to know her personally.- You're being weird...B: Just come over, NOW!Putting my phone in my pockets, I walked over to her door and knocked. The door was opened by a tall muscular man who had the same eyes as Robyn, he was intimidating but was probably an inch shorter than me, it was an extremely awkward moment because the man was looking at me, and two more men had joined him crossing their arms over their chests...super awkward."Who are you?" The one who looked to be younger than the first one asked, his hair was s
Ezekiel and I were at the park looking at everyone as they strolled by while we ate our ice-cream, this was completely peaceful and I won't lie, my eyes did find themselves looking at his naked torso.It was just so structured and...I have no idea what else I could say. Ezekiel was just a beautiful man and there's nothing more to that."So...that's your family?" Eze asked as he slowly swung himself."Yup," I mumbled as I licked my ice-cream."When did they arrive?""Today, unexpectedly, don't know for how long," I shrugged, I love my family, I really do but sometimes it just becomes too much and suffocating to live together as a whole, especially since they all decided to bless their presence in my life for only they know how long."You don't seem really excited about them being here," he commented and I sighed."Let's go home," I said getting off the swing."Hey, you didn't get on the slide!" he offered and I smile
Grabbing my packed duffle bag, I walked out of my room back into the living room, the most delicious smell hit my face and I almost succumbed into apologising to my mother just so I could get some food. My mother was amazing in the kitchen, and when I say amazing I mean crazily amazing!As for me, I would say I only adopted fifteen percent of it because she would rarely allow me in the kitchen. Standing straighter I walked over to my father and gave him a side hug, look at me leaving my own apartment just to avoid another fight with my mother, I didn't even get to spend time with my awesome dad."I'll see you, tomorrow papa. I'm right across the hall if you need anything," I pressed a kiss on his forehead and he smiled."I love you Roby, cool down and come back when you're ready okay?" he said and I smiled nodding, I might come back when Irene leaves."I love you too papa," looking at my three brothers I pointed my finger to each of them, "My
Ezekiel stared at the surgeon in disbelief as the surgeon's words echoed in his head a million times trying to register it.Robyn, lost?"What do you mean we lost her?" Bellamy asked, his voice barely coming out as more than a whisper.
My eyes drifted over to Bellamy as he sat on the chair with his fingers threaded through his hair. I watched him from my position against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest.He was worried, so was I. Extremely worried as I anticipated the news that we all so not patiently waited for.I couldn't ignore my frantic heartbeat as my anxiety washed over me and I kept on racking my brain over my impulsive decisions that were
I couldn't stop glaring at Reed, not because he was the 'brains' behind all this deceiving, but because he had the audacity to bring my mother into his stupid plans.I prayed that wherever she was, hopefully at home she was okay and with dad because if he would dare lay a finger on her I would kill him with my own bare hands with no care whatsoever."Staring at me won't help with anything," he said checking his nails for
I straightened out my grey dress and made sure I looked like how I was expected to look. I plastered a smile on my face and greeted his employees with a smile while making small conversations with the ones I knew.I made my way into the elevator, to which was held open for me by a man and I gave him a thankful smile. He entered the elevator for with me and pressed the exact elevator button number I was heading to."You don't ha
The apartment was quiet, dead quiet as a matter of fact, the only thing you could hear was Jay's groans every now and then and my lips would pull up in a proud manner. But they were just merely a reminder to my own wounds that still needed tending but I wouldn't let it happen because I'm too stubborn.I looked at every single man that was still alive and in the room with me, none that I wanted to hurt except for Reed, but I was told to be a good girl and I was trying.
I sat on the couch staring at the same spot on the wall for the past hour, I could feel his blood and mine sticking onto my skin but I didn't want to wipe it off.I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want anyone next to me, I didn't want to think, I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to be alone and at peace.But I couldn't have any of that with all these men around me, my senses had kicked in and I was at high alert, I could
I watched Ezekiel as he tied my wrists together but not as tightly as Jay had before, I could move them a bit in the binding, although it was a bit uncomfortable it was better.We stood in silence as he gathered my hair in his hands and tied it into a ponytail. His hands rested on my hair a bit longer and he pressed a kiss on my forehead."We should probably go," I said breaking through the silence. He put his hand on my back a
"If you want Bellamy, why do I have to be the one tied?" Robyn asked looking at everyone else but me.I understand she felt anger towards me, probably not just anger but also betrayal and I guess there is no explanation in the world that I could give her just to have her look at me like she used to.When I had returned with our breakfast, I entered my apartment and called out for her but didn't get any response. I walked to my
I was standing in a house that I've never seen before wearing a beige cotton dress that fit my body perfectly well, I loved the way it hugged my curves and how it allowed my boobs to breath through the little V that was there."Robyn!" I heard my name being called and I looked to my left but didn't see anyone there, I walked off into the direction of the voice, I had heard that voice before.
