THE HANGOVERI woke up feeling like my head was going to tear and my brain would fall out, my throat felt dry because of the amount of alcohol I had consumed. I picked myself up from where I lay on the floor, picked up my phone from where I had thrown it and went out of the room, it wasn't mine, it was the room I had told myself never to enter again but from time to time I keep finding myself in there, it was the room I and Fiona shared, until she ruined everything.I went into my room and went straight to the shower, after a much-needed shower I came out and headed into my closet to get something to wear, my head was still banging so I picked up my phone to call one of the maids to get me pain reliever and water but saw that I had several missed calls from Jane, what did she want?I decided to call the maid first, my head wasn't feeling right and I needed to calm myself down before I could have any meaningful conversation with anyone.The maid brought the water and medicine as she d
THE AWKWARD DINNERWhen I opened my eyes I knew I felt better than I did when I fell asleep, but my body still felt weak. " Rena," I whispered, I didn't have much energy to speak. She didn't give me any answer and I guessed she must have gone out to get something but to my surprise, I noticed another person in the room and when I turned it was Markus.Was I dreaming?" Markus?" I called his name to make sure I was actually seeing right and indeed he was there as he walked from where he sat on the couch in the hospital room towards me." You look like you weren't expecting me?" He asked as he took a seat on the chair beside my bed. It was true that I wasn't expecting him, after calling him several times and not getting his response, and then when I woke up and expected to see him but didn't, I had lost hope of seeing him here." I'm sure you were worried about your child so you had to come see for yourself that everything was okay?" Because that is what he was always worried about."
HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND Why does he want to have dinner with me? We've not had any conversation since he got here when he and his son basically ignored me like I was irrelevant." Are you sure?" It was a stupid question but I had to ask her to make sure I was right and I had heard her correctly." Yes, he called for me and then he asked me to call you over for dinner." I couldn't ignore him, I'll look very disrespectful, I didn't want to go there, especially if he was anything like his son." Okay," I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair, at least let me look presentable. I grudgingly walked to the other wings of the house. When I got to the door, I contemplated going back but that would make me look like a coward. I could just go back and tell Rena to tell him I hadn't fully recovered and I needed rest. No, I'm already here, so why not just go inside?I took a deep breath and opened the door. He was already waiting at the dining table when I got there." Hello Sir, hope I didn't kee
THE BIRTHDAY PRINCESSMarkus was busy asking another lady to be his girlfriend when I was still in the hospital, was that why he rushed off in the name of having something urgent to do?I dropped the lady at the mall and then drove off to the hospital. I just wasn't feeling good today, I don't know if it was my encounter with that lady.I was taken to the examination room and then the doctor checked me and the baby and said that we were both okay. I thanked him and then made my way out of the hospital. I don't know how I ended up here but I just felt something telling me to be here today.Since the day my mom got buried I had not come to visit her grave I felt like we could have been better if death hadn't taken her, we were a work in progress, not the best but we were trying, on the days she tried to blame me for why my father left she was a complete stranger.I sighed as I placed the single rose I bought on my way here, roses were her favorite, she would smile when my dad bought th
KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER" Jane." He took a step towards me but I moved back." Don't come near me!! Stay where you are." I screamed as he tried to come near me. Did he think he could just go out of my life and come back however he liked?" Please just give me a chance." " What chance are you talking about, give you what? You know what? I don't wanna talk to you or see you around me ever or else I'll call the police."" Jane."" Stop saying my name, I hate how it sounds coming from you, stop!"" Jane, what's wrong? The kids are waiting for you inside." Rena suddenly came behind me." I'll join you shortly," I said as I looked at my father with contempt, he wasn't there when I needed him and now he wants what? To reconnect and come back into my life? Never." Is this man bothering you, do I need to call security?" Rena asked as she looked between him and me." No, we're going back in now," without sparing him a glance I turned away from him going back into the orphanage." Who was tha
THE UNKNOWN FEELING" You're playing a dangerous game, young man." He said as soon as I picked up the call." If I might ask, what exactly are you talking about?" I said feigning innocence." Oh you don't know, do you want me to kill you?" " Mr Murphy, I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about." I could tell he was boiling in anger." What the fuck are you doing with my daughter?" He asked in anger." Oh, that? We're just in love, you wouldn't want your daughter to be angry right?"" You're playing with fire." That made me roll my eyes, he thought that would scare me, he was the one who played with fire and now it was time for him to burn." Why don't you go ahead and tell her to stop seeing me and hear what she has to say." His daughter was so easy to sway, she fell for my sweet talk like I was some prince charming." Just stay away from her."" Okay if you say so, but I wouldn't lie to her why I'm breaking up with her and you know she's gonna cry right? I'll just tell he
PREGNANCY EXERCISES " Hold your partner on the waist and help her move back a little, please be very careful don't overdo it," the instructor said and Hardin followed her instructions and helped me bend going gently, I could feel my back loosen from stress, I think I would go for a pregnancy massage soon. It felt good. " Now carefully stretch from side to side, remember, whatever you're doing you have to do it carefully because you're carrying a child and you don't need to stress your body, now let's do it together." This time I didn't need Markus to help me but he stood by my side watching me and I stretched from side to side, it was a simple exercise but with the pregnancy, it wasn't." You all are doing wonderful, let's take a short break." The break was necessary because I suddenly felt like I had been hiking for two days, it was exhausting." You look very tired," " Of course, that was hard." The look he was giving me told me he was finding my attitude funny, he looked like he
THE FIGHTA scream broke through my mouth unintentionally in shock. I wasn't expecting to see him here." Jane!" I heard Hardin call from outside." What are you doing here Markus?" Before he could answer me the car door was quickly pushed open by Hardin and Markus also opened the car door and came out.When Hardin saw him, he left the door open and turned to Markus." Isn't this just disgusting?" I heard Markus ask and I quickly got out of the car. What was he doing here? I have told him several times that he didn't have the right to monitor where I go or where I don't." Enlighten me," Hardin said and I could already see a fight brewing." You bring a pregnant woman to your house and you let her stay up to this time?!" Markus asked in anger." If she's somewhere she's taken care of, I don't see anything wrong with that," Hardin said in a hard voice different from how he usually speaks to me." Are you being serious? She's pregnant for god's sake." Markus said and was beginning to mak
