HIS JOKING SIDE" Water," she repeated in a whisper and I quickly rushed to get water from the table and brought it to her." Here, easy," I said as I put the cup to her mouth while she took small sips.When she was done she rested back on the pillow, closing her eyes. I wanted to see those beautiful eyes. I didn't want her to close them so soon.She took a deep breath before she blessed me with the beauty of those eyes. Her honey-colored eyes stared at me and at the moment I knew I would stare at them forever." The baby?" She whispered and I knew what she meant." The baby is okay, you don't need to worry about anything, just rest, you need a lot of it," I said to her as she nodded her head and then she made herself comfortable and closed her eyes to go back to sleep.I wasn't scared this time, I knew she was just sleeping and would wake up soon, this wasn't like when I wanted her to wake up because I didn't know if she was going to or not." I'll be right here when you wake up," I
THE UNWANTED VISITORS " I'm sure we've met before," the woman said like she didn't just hear me say I didn't want them here." Who the hell are you?" Markus asked in a hard voice that for a moment I was scared." Please Markus make them leave please," I said as I took hold of his hand that was close to me." You heard her, if she doesn't want you here, you have to leave," Markus said as he pointed towards the door." If I want to see my daughter, there's nothing you can do about it," my father suddenly said as Markus turned to look between him and me." Don't call me your daughter, you have no right," " Jane darling your father just wanted to make sure you were okay," Is something wrong with her? What gave her the right to think she could intervene in our matter?" Maybe you should have asked me if I was okay when he left us for you, maybe then I would have had an answer for you, so take your husband and get the hell out of here," My father looked at me like he wanted to say someth
QUEEN TREATMENT" Oh my god, Mr. Arthur, so nice to see you here," Lola said as I and Hardin exchanged a look not seeming to understand what was going on." Hardin, do you remember the rich real estate tycoon I was telling you I always wanted to be like, it's him," Lola said, sounding so joyful." I guess you should start finding a new one, he's not the best role model,"" What do you mean?" Lola asked Hardin, suddenly seemingly defensive of her role model." I asked you a question, didn't I?" Markus suddenly asked not caring about Lola's fan-girling." And I don't think I'm obliged to answer any question you ask me," Hardin said without taking his eyes off me like he wasn't even talking to anyone." Hardin," I tucked on his sleeve to signal him to stop, I didn't want them fighting again and I had to make sure Markus understood that Hardin was my friend and he had every right to come check on me." Markus please, he's only here to see me, I don't want you both fighting,"" He didn't h
THE SPECIAL CHEFI looked at Markus in surprise, did he just ask me to go on a date with him, like he just asked me? I remember we had gone on a date before but that didn't end well and he didn't even care if I wanted to go or not, he just told me to get dressed and he was going to pick me up, I didn't have a choice then, but now he wanted my opinion.I could either say yes or no." I'd love to go on a date with you," I said with a smile on my face. I couldn't say no with the way he sounded so genuine when he was asking me.We were looking at each other with big smiles on our faces when my stomach suddenly growled in hunger embarrassing me. I tried to cover my face but Markus held my hand stopping me." Don't hide that beautiful face from me for any reason." I blushed like I wasn't already pregnant." You stay here while I go get you something to eat," He said as he stood up and went out of the room while I just sat down and watched him leave.A few minutes passed and he still hadn't r
WHO IS FIONA?" Let me help you with that," Markus said as I tried putting the necklace on my neck but I was unable to.I handed him the necklace as I turned so he could help me with it. When he had closed the lock, he just looked at me through the vanity mirror with a smile and I raised my eyebrow at him in question." You look so beautiful, and the necklace is just perfect on you," he said as he moved my hair back leaving my neck on full display as his lips descended on it leaving feathery kisses there." If we don't go now, I might change my mind and we'll have to go another day, you look quite tempting," he whispered in my ear and I couldn't help but like the idea of that. " Let's go," I said, pushing my crazy urges because I wanted to know what it felt like to have dinner with Markus when he wasn't being a jerk to me." After you gorgeous," he said as he did a silly mock bow and I laughed walking past him and heading for the door.Markus held the car door open for me as I thanke
HIS FIRST LOVEI instantly regretted asking him that question. The last time I asked him about Fiona, things didn't work well for me and I remember ruining the moment.Now I have just done the same thing. Markus had been quiet for about a minute and I didn't know what to do. Would he get mad and this date would be ruined? This was all my fault." I'm sorry I didn't mean to…" I tried to explain but my words were cut off by him." It's okay," I was shocked and went to sit up but he didn't let me, did this mean he was ready to answer my question?" I think it's high time I tell you who Fiona is," he said and I just looked at him in shock." She was my first love, my first everything, we grew up in the same neighborhood and we just clicked, we became high school lovers, we couldn't stay a day without talking to each other, it was like we were each other's obsession, we had dreams, we wanted a family, a lovely home and everything, it was all going fine. After high school, we still got admi
THE NIGHTMARE" I thought you were sleeping," Markus suddenly asked me, I had not noticed that he had come out of the bathroom and without thinking I hid my phone behind me, there was nothing to hide, he had already seen me." What are you hiding?" He asked as he made his way to me." Nothing," I said but it didn't sound convincing even to me." You're hiding something, show me," Markus was now standing in front of me with his hands stretched as he demanded for what I was hiding but I refused to show him, I didn't know who this message was from but one thing I knew was that if Markus saw this message hell would break loose for whoever wished evil upon his child." Jane, hand it over," I handed my phone to Markus with the message on display and I quietly watched with my breath held as his eyes went down to my phone and everything suddenly became slow motion.There would be trouble, Markus had his jaw clenched as he read the message, his eyes were showing so much anger I felt like this r
THE MEMORIES HE HAD" Is that Fiona?" I was suddenly brought out of my thoughts by Jane's voice. Shit! She was going to start thinking things." I'm, it's…" I couldn't even form words to say to her, what do I say to a woman whom I'd been trying to mend things with when she caught me staring at the picture of another woman?" Do you still miss her?" She asked and just by the way she sounded I knew that I had just fucked things up." Look Jane it's not what you think," how did that even sound to my own ears?" You don't have to explain things to me," she said with a shrug and I didn't like that one bit." You're making conclusions that aren't true," I tried to explain," I just said you don't have to explain anything to me, Markus, it's your life, you don't have to answer to me, pictures are a way to connect to people we miss, they're memories, we wish they were here even if they hurt us, so it's okay," No it was not, she wasn't even looking at me, how could it be okay." I'm hungry, I
