Remember how I said life couldn't be any happier? Well I wasn't kidding, life has been a happily ever after. It's been a year since I've been married to Blake and it is amazing! I never thought that being married could be this nice. I always had the phobia that things might not go well and sure there are ups and downs but everything has been wonderful. Bianca put to bed and her baby boy is so handsome. Took it from her and me. Also, her relationship with Tom is going pretty well. Sadly, she moved out of the Parkers' house a month ago into her new house which is amazing!As for Steven, we have not heard from him. Blake never talks about him, however, Mrs Claire informed me that he will be coming back after a whole year of being away. She wasn't very sure about the dates but she believes that it is a week or three days from now. I still don't know what I'm going to say to him since he did send the divorce papers for Blake and I. I have kept them locked up in my work desk. Opened them on
"Look whom decided to bless us with their presence." Charlotte stands to greet me and Bianca."We are so sorry. We had to find a way to make sure that Blake is busy today.""He refused didn't he?" Courtney asks"Yep, so we moved to plan B.""I can't wait to see you getting dragged out the club on his shoulder again." Britney laughs as well as the others."Very funny. Can we go in now?" I start to take out my heels."Sure." All the ladies stand as we walk into the spa room."How is it like to be married?" Charlotte asks as we get our nails done and very nice women massage our shoulders."It's a lot of work to tell the truth but then as long as you communicate and understand each other, it will be worth it." I say as I relax and let loose."I'm scared. I know that Jacob and I understand each other but communication doesn't come easy to us. We do fix our issues whenever there is a disagreement, however, that will be after days or a week of not talking. Sometimes I wonder if we are making
"Yesterday I was telling my friends how scared I was. Not because I have doubts about our relationship but because I'm scared of messing up what God has given me. Husby, I love you. To me, you're a blessing and I know that people love to say that you're so lucky and blessed for gaining me as a wife but they don't know how blessed and so lucky I am by having you as my husband. I don't know what will happen to us in the next coming years, however, I hope that we would remain as close and loving as we are today. To us." Charlotte raises her glass and we all follow.The band starts playing and everything becomes perfect. Today is the wedding day and it was really spectacular. We cried a lot during their vows and I got to experience love from people who aren't Blake and I.Talking about Blake, yesterday things kinda got heated. Steven and him gave each other death glares until Steven finally left without saying a word. Meaning that I was left with a furious Blake. He couldn't stop shouting
It's been three weeks since my heartbreak. Three weeks since the accident. Two weeks since I've woken from my coma. And two weeks I since found out that I'm pregnant. To say the pain has subsided would be a complete lie. Every second of every moment, my heart breaks even more. It's like a knife has been plugged into it and is now swirling around. I thought I knew heartbreak when I broke up with Steven...when we fought and when I found out whom I was married to but I didn't. Because what I'm feeling right now...is a whole new pain."Hey, how are you?" Mother walks in with Bianca already asking."I'm fine...do you have them?" I push myself to sit upright while wiping my tears."Aria, are you sure about this? I mean if you could just talk-" mother tries to change my mind once again."I have nothing to say to him. Can I please have the documents." I extend my hand.She takes them out her bag and hands them to me."Aria I know that what he did was wrong but he is sorry. He slept on one of
"Here we go. Are you sure you don't want anything?" Bianca helps me to sit down."No, it's fine. You let me crash in your house, I can't ask for more. I would, however, love to be left alone." She nods her head then walks out with worry showing on her face. The divorce papers were sent to our (Blake and I’s) lawyer and he couldn't stop asking me if I would want to change my thoughts but I stood firm in my decision. I also got discharged today and spent the whole day with Bianca and mom at a fancy restaurant . Not really what I wanted but they didn't really care in such a way that they knew I would have confided myself in my room my entire lifetime. They wanted me outside to smell the fresh air and try to make me feel good but that didn't happen. I use my crutches to walk to the balcony. The sun has set and the only thing visible is the moon. The sky is so very clear and even though the moon is looking for a friend on me, emptiness is continuing to dig deep in me. The memories of
"Mirella Johnson Parker!" The principal calls out my daughter's name and I clap my hands in happiness as I see my joy walk up the stairs towards the teacher. Today marks the happiest day of my life, my daughter's graduation. And no, not her high school nor university graduation, it's actually her kindergarten graduation. One might think it's not that important but for me it is. Seeing your child achieve something no matter how small is not only the best feeling ever but it’s incredible! And I will not trade this moment for anything. In fact, nothing can ruin this mome-"Look at our precious daughter go." Blake whispers into my ear, eyes not moving from her, "she looks just like you." His brown eyes shift from her and bore into my soul.When I signed the divorce papers five years ago I thought my journey with Blake ended there. Boy was I wrong. For me to no longer be Mrs Parker, the process took nearly two whole years. Within those years I had people questioning my decision till the po
We are in the second month of a new year and Mirella had already started elementary school which is nice. And not only that but I have resumed taking photographs and uploading them on the internet. I get money from them and I am proud to say that business is good. I really cannot complain except for the fact that I've not laid my eyes on Jack in these two months. To say I miss our little encounter will be an understatement but I have to move on. Which is why I'm on a dating site and hoping to meet the one. Bianca and mom are the ones that introduced me to these dating sites even after the tantrums I did."You can't keep on denying everyone!" Bianca screams, her hands in the air in frustration."Well I can't accept everyone!" I scream back and move from my laptop which is sitting on the kitchen's table. "I just haven't found the person I see worthy of going on a date with." "You're talking as if you're going to date the guy on the spot. Aria, you haven't kissed anyone for close to fi
Today, the sun is extremely happy. It's burning out here and there is zero signs of clouds. How I wish right now I was extremely happy. Today I have to ask Blake to take Mirella to his house for three nights, starting tonight. And I am no fool but I do know how this might end, bad. He is obviously going to ask me why because I had previously asked to have Mirella the whole week and now I have to tell him otherwise. Mother and Bianca said that I do not know the benefits of a divorce- keeping my love and personal life to myself. Which is true because somehow, someway my personal life is Blake's personal life."As always be good at school, mommy loves you." I fix Mirella's school skirt and kiss her forehead. "Now go to the living room and watch tv for a little bit, mommy has to talk to daddy.""But my favorite Dj is playing and I want to listen to her in the car!" Mirella looks at me with pleading eyes, one thing I cannot turn down but Blake can, so I look at him for help.He sighs and
My name is Aria Parker-Johnson a mother to Mirella Parker-Johnson and soon to be mother to twins. I am the wife of Blake Parker, a business tycoon that had been known for his player nature but now is a transformed father and loyal husband. Our marriage has been a rollercoaster, it started off hectic, I did not think it would last. I was never supposed to marry him in the first place but God works in miraculous ways. The way we got together, the way we separated and once again the way we got together, it is all a miracle. “Mirella!”“Yes, mom?” She walks into the kitchen, my baby girl is so grown.“Please take these outside. I am sure people are going to start arriving any time soon.” I try picking up the tray but she stops me.“No need to overwork yourself ma, my siblings need to come out to perfectly fine.” “Thank you baby girl.” I let her take everything then decide to head to the bedroom to change.I am pregnant again and I must say, it is a lot of work. Now that I am carrying tw
The only sound audible in the room is of my nails tapping on the dinner table. The quietness just makes me even more anxious as the seat opposite mine remains unoccupied. I actually believed I would be laughing by now or be swept off my feet.But that is not the case which is why I am still lighting up my phone screen for the tenth time hoping to see something different. Yet once again, my heart drops as the time reads;20:15Fifteen minutes after the time Blake set, there still is no sign of him. There is not even one single text, not to talk about a call. If there were people in the room all they would see is a pretty lady dressed in a sophisticated black dress seated awkwardly in her chair, continuously staring at her phone for a sign. Maybe he will walk in any minute, it's human nature to be late20:45"Would you like to order anything Mrs?” The waiter asks me for the second time ever since my arrival."Uhm do you have juice?""No, we don't serve that here.""Okay...how about nona
"Growing up, I did not feel good looking. No matter how much I had tried to compliment myself, my insecurities got me to my knees. People always reassured me that I was handsome but I did not see what they so saw so I did not bother to date anyone. I was not willing to make another human being suffer. I wanted to fix myself up and become close to this hot thing I am today. I was eighteen when I was let out of the shell and became exposed to the public eye. People were crazy over me and I was all over magazines being called handsome. My good looks made people believe I was a heartthrob not knowing I was a virgin at that time. But the attention made me feel like I was ready to give relationships a try. “I did not know how hard it will be because of my brother. All of my serious relationships went downhill because of Steven. Relationship in and out I will find him in bed with my girlfriends," he laughs to himself as I stare with pity, "I stopped pursuing serious relationships and decided
I just wanna sleepppppp!I just wanna sleepppppp!I just wanna sleepppppp!Last night this time… mhm, I was honestly busy with Blake. The entire night and the fact that it is all different tonight is a bummer. I need the sweet kisses all over my face, sweet kisses all over my body but instead I am in my room all alone, struggling to still walk.My phone starts ringing and my heart jumps in joy hoping to see Blake’s caller ID but once the phone is in my hands, my smile drops. “Hello?”"Hey, is this Aria?" The caller on the end of the line asks.The voice sounds a little bit familiar but I cannot wrap my fingers around it. I know without a doubt that it is not Steven so, who is it?"Yes, may I ask whom this is?” I remove the pillows on my bed, getting ready to sleep. I do not really want to beat around the bush with my current state."Mike.""Mike...Mike...oh Mike!” And it finally clicks…how does he have my numbers again, “how are you?""I'm great, I am so glad that you still remember
I think I should not have allowed myself to be led by lust. Why? Because I am not over Blake instead I'm...I'm deeply in love with him again. It was so stupid of me to believe that I will get over him by sleeping with him after I had pointed out that when you engage in sexual acts with someone the two of you become one. I'm one again with Blake and in my case, that is not a good thing.Groaning at my stupidity I hold on tight to the duvet, looking at Blake who is peacefully sleeping. My mind trails back to when our hands intertwined during our love making, that was the end of me yesterday…it is even continuing to be the end of me now.I sure have to give it to Blake, this boy is very calculative, which I dumbly forgot about. He reminded me of things I had forgotten with just one night. The things he knew would work to his favor...why did I believe that I would fall out of love with him again?I sit up straight, wondering how I am to escape the hole I dug up for myself. My feet touch th
"Father, we thank you for the beautiful days you've brought to us. We thank you for the family you've given us, please continue to protect and guide us. Let your Holy Spirit keep us safe, and may our hearts be open to your word all the time. Amen." "Amen." I say, before opening my eyes.Blake and I look at each other for a split second before I speak, “goodnight." "Goodnight gorgeous." He kisses my forehead, exiting my room.After Blake left me at the dance floor, I decided to make business too. Apparently, Bianca's company is well known so it was a smooth sailing. I'm really proud of my friend, she has done exceptionally good for herself. And also the employees have played a huge part. One thing I love mostly is how she couldn't believe it when I told her over the phone. Lady should start believing in herself and her company.However, getting back to the Blake situation...I'm sexually frustrated. I'm pretty sure people could smell the sexual tension in the air while we were dancing
Shopping is part of those things I love with most of my heart. Shopping with Blake...that is another story."No!" Blake says immediately when the fitting room door opens."Well, I love it." I spin around to give him the full view."A-ah. No ways." He pushes me into the fitting room, then closes the door. "Every male eye is going to be on you. Look how the dress is shaping every curve on your body. Then the back...your back is exposed!" He turns my back on the mirror and I turn to look at it.He is right, my back is on full display. But the blue dress is amazing! The tiny beads are making me shine brighter that the disco lights. I face Blake and dah dah dah!!!! Our noses are touching. A second chance to another kissing moment, I am high on the clouds up for it. His fingers run down the line on my back, and I take penguin steps towards him then he lowers his head and,“Feels like we're on the edge right nowI wish that I could say I'm proudI'm sorry that I let you downI let you down-
His arms immediately grab my waist and I have no choice but to lean into him. My hands become sweaty, my heart starts beating a new tone I am not familiar with as my legs wobble more than a jelly. I feel like a teenager who is about to receive her first kiss. And just like my first, my world is fired up when his lips meet mine. In just mere seconds I have been consumed into an alien feeling. One that I want to experience over and over again, without any break whatsoever.Blake slowly pulls back after the small kiss, but still remains close to me. His breath hitting my lips, making me crave more of them.I open my eyes when he drops his head on my shoulder, "w-why did you stop?" I bluntly ask, saddened by the ending of what I was loving."Because one kiss would never be enough." He whispers enough for me to hear. "Aria I want to devour your lips countless times." My arms find balance on his neck when he grips my thighs, placing me on the table. "I'm just thinking if escaping rehab is w
Things I hate about Blake1. He sometimes smokes2. He...He likes to manipulate situations 3. Loves making me feel younger than him4. He...his...Okay this is not working! Whoever on the internet suggested that to fully get over someone I should write a list of the things I hate about them was totally wrong! I can't use the fact that he used to be a player because that is using his past against him. I wouldn't like it if someone used my past against and I am trying to move it.Ripping the paper from my notebook and shredding it into pieces, I sit back into my chair. It's been five days that I've not had an encounter with Blake which I'm grateful for. The only reason is because he is finalising the whole business move since we have moved back here and he is taking over the company here. The workload is a lot and he comes back very late and leaves very early. We do spend time together but it's when we pray and when he talks to Mirella and I'm surprisingly there. But it's never just him
