Looking outside at the passing by city, I let my thoughts flow to the happy times of my life with Aiden. There were so many of them. As I think about it now, I realize that he had loved me for so long, I was just too blinded by the past to see it. As we stop at a traffic light, I was drawn out of all my thoughts. Looking outside, I was slapped with the harsh reality of my past.

In the car beside me, I saw that one person who had hurt me the most, that one person who had put the nail in the coffin of not believing in love.

Drew sat there in sleek back car with a laptop in his hand. He still looked that very same man who I had fallen in love with besides the long hairs brushing against the nape of his jacket. In a dark business suit, he looked as handsome as ever, someone who could make any girl fall to his feet but not me. Not anymore. I knew the true colors behind that devilishly handsome face. He was no one's lover, just a player who played me. I stared at his face wh

    Valerie "I’m just on my way to his office and sort this all out." This was really unbelivable. Damn it! I should’ve known something was wrong. It has never been like this and as much as I know Aiden, he won't just stop talking to me like that." I informed her. From the corner of my eyes, Aiden's office building coming into view. I quickly took out the money to pay the cabbie. "Okay, Shay. I’m at his office now. I really need to get to the core of this problem," I paused. "Talk to you later and wish me luck." I hastily paid the driver with my phone still agianst my ear. "All the best, my dear I. Let me know all the details besides the dirty ones. By the way I just got a new sexy ass of a neighbor to check out. Bye, sexy." That brought a laugh out of me. Making my way inside the building, I was confident. I knew where his floor was and all the pass codes needed. Aiden had asked me many times to come to his office but I hav

    Valerie I stormed towards Aiden and that bitch that stood there and did the only thing I could think off. I fucking slapped that bitch so hard that I was sure that there will be prints on her throbbing cheek. “That was for kissing my boyfriend." I spat at her while Aiden just stood a few feet away. As Maya stood at the door I was quite sure that this was going to be the hot gossip around the office. "Get the hell out of here right now," I screamed at the slutty secretary as she stood there looking at me with wide eyes. She looked at Aiden for help and all I could think of was if he told me to apologize to her I was going to surely kick him where the sun doesn't shine. I was fuming with anger and jealousy coursing through my veins. She didn't make a move to get out and kept staring at Aiden to say something. "Maya, please take her out of here and can you please make sure that Aiden and I have some privacy," I told her massaging my throbbing forehead. "Yes, Ms Caulfield." With that

    Valerie Spending his whole life with me. I don;t know if it was the heat fo the moment or his words. Not thinking for another moment I kissed him. I kissed him with everything I had because I wanted to love him, I wanted to be with him emotionally. He was the one who made me feel alive with a touch. He was the one who has been able to weaken my walls and warm that cold heart of mine. He responded to my kiss within seconds. Bringing my hands up in his hair, I tugged on them to deepen our kiss. His hands roamed all over my body as I stood there and for the first time, it felt more than just a kiss. I felt more alive than ever, his fingers made me burn with desire. I hated how much of an impact his touch had on me as I let myself get lost in the moment. I couldn't stop myself from getting over this desire to be close to him. I should have been mad at him trying to figure out what was happening but I just couldn't. I needed Aiden right at that moment. There

    Valerie “Your father?” He repeated once again this time a bit louder. "I just found him three days back in a bad condition and came to know that he is not fully bad. Now we are trying to mend our relationship and it would be totally awkward having sex there, with him there in the apartment. Also, I don't want him to get a bad impression of you." I tried to reason making sure he got my point. "A lot happened in these three days of you ignoring me I guess?" He said nonchalantly. "Hey, I wasn't ignoring you. You were blocking my calls and my father can vouch for that one." I said accusingly. "Guess we are back to round one!" He said frustratingly. "Isn’t what just happened enough for you to tell that I won't ever fucking ignore you or your calls?" He said bringing out my panties. I took out my phone and brought up the call logs. Getting off the table, I closed the distance between us and flashed my phone in front of his face.

    Valerie Mornings somehow started to feel great and especially after the blonking light on my phone informing me of an incoming text. I won;t li but I was giddy. Morning sweetheart ;) - Aiden his text read and for a second I was over the moon. Last afternoon with Aiden was really something to remember. He had shown me what heaven felt like. He had really made me scream till my throat ran sore and teased me enough to make me turn to a shade of red. He had made me feel special like no one else had. His penthouse was set much to my taste. I would have stayed there all night with Aiden but I had to go back home. I was quite sure that dad might have got the memo about how things were going because I had reached home just at the time of dinner with messed up hair, wrinkled clothes. Thanks to my common sesne that I have had a bath at Aiden's house but yet I had rushed down to the bathroom as fast as I could in order to have another quick shower. Ch

    "My pancakes!" Dad yelled. rushing to the kitchen to me and Carmen just in tow. I rushed towards opening the windows to get the burnt smell out while Carmen did the same. Looking at the burnt and deformed pancake that dad was holding we all burst into laughter. After that, we all enjoyed the breakfast together. Carmen joined us and it was really nice. I don't know why but I felt that this place was complete as a home. At times, I found Carmen staring at my dad or the other way around. I knew it had been long since mom was gone. From what dad had told me, he hadn't been with anyone for almost a year after mom's death. Carmen and Dad were similar by nature. I guess they both couldn't have children and had broken hearts too. I could see myself playing the matchmaker. I left both of them behind by rushing out of there saying I was hell late which I was not at all. I hoped everything went well between them. Hailing a cab, I made way to my office while humming the song on the radio. My ph

    Valerie Drew sat in front of me with Laura beside him. I had to do control myself to not look at him. All I wanted to do was beat the shit out of him. Laura on the other hand, looked excited and happy like every other bride to be. It was a shame that she was marrying a douche like him. Drew had the guts to stare at me straight into the eyes. I did feel uncomfortable under Drew’s gaze, not because we were lovers in the past but it looked like he was practically undressing me under his gaze. IT had been years since he left me but I still remebered how he acted. His this action made me want to kill Drew and bury six feet under my grandma's grave so that she could haunt him. As I composed myself, I directed all of my attention towards Laura, I knew it would eventually piss Drew off. he had a very big and his ego didn;t like to ignored at all. Moreover his shitty face wasn't going to do great deals for me now until I was punhcing it. "So Laura, as we talked earlier about the decorati

    Valerie. Drew was a selfish man and class a idiot. He never knew where to stop. "I like the fire in your eyes Val’, it's quite new, refreshing, and revolting. You know what it makes me feel like?" His husky voice tormenting my ears, making me burn in raging anger. In an instant, he took hold of my hand and had it pressed against the front of his pants. "You see what you do to me, Val? Even after past these years, you have the same effect on me. I eventually regret letting you go my sweet Val." He said huskily while caressing my cheek. In that moment the anger I was holding back unleashed. Like any other woman I didn't take the pleasure of slapping him, I decided for far worse. The very hand he had pressed over his hard-on was the tormenter of the painful groan that escaped his lips. I crushed that part of his male anatomy with a far more strength than I would crush a paper ball. His face quivered in pain while a very painful groan was on its way to leave his lips. His hand caress

    Valerie "I feel like a whale," I told to Shay, who sat at the end of the sofa while I laid on the couch with the remote for the tv. I was going to be around nine months pregnant in a week and this little buddy was going to come out soon. A lot has changed in last six months. I was no longer living in my apartment. Bryan had bought a new house which was closer to Travis and Aiden's house.The nursery was ready with hues of yellow and blue. Aiden and I had grown close but there had been nothing more than kisses and holding each other. The new house had many rooms and one of them was Aiden’s but he usually slept with me. He didn't go to his apartment often and just stayed here with me. He didn't want to miss any part of the baby and me being pregnant. He had warmed up to my heart, but hadn't been able to get that place back in my heart. His relationship with his mother was still rocky but they were at least talking. Whereas Laura and Aiden had drifted worlds apart.Laura had a breakdown

    ValerieGod, this had to happen with me only. I groaned internally. this was right embarrassing. I felt Aiden sleeping on my legs with his hand feeling heavy on my belly. Besides it, I realize one more thing which was that I was going to puke. I felt it was coming, I knew it was and before I know I quickly pushing Aiden away and rushing to the bathroom kissing the porcelain seat. I puked and puked then brushed my teeth, gargled with mouthwash to get rid of that vile taste of bile. Being pregnant was not an easy task. "You have been caught red handed Aiden." It was Shay who was talking when I reached back to the living room. Aiden was on the floor rubbing his head. In my run to the bathroom, I might have pushed him a little too hard. Carmen stared at him while Shay busy staring at his share of uneaten food and smoothie. "I think we should have clicked the picture of the two together first," Carmen spoke without caring about the food. "Carmen she was eating mozzarella sticks and d

    Aiden held my face and kissed me. I was stunned. I should have pulled back but I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was responding to his kiss, tasting our tears in it. Our kiss was passionate, our lips hungry for each other. It was a kiss filled with love and passion but yet soft. I could feel every part of my body needing his touch. It was wrong and yet it felt so right to do it. I was being lifted and pushed on my back. Our kiss never breaking. His torso in between my legs and my legs wrapped around him. His face in my hand and he took control over our kiss. Our tongues danced in sync. I was breathing heavily, I was feeling a need and then suddenly out of nowhere Laura popped up in my mind and the moment was lost from my side. My body stilled. My lips no longer responding to his and we break apart from our kiss. His eyes looked into mine searching for what stopped me. "What happened Val?" He asked concerned and worried. I closed my eyes and touch my lips. I knew that kiss we just had wa

    Valerie "You... you what?" I finally managed to choke out."I didn’t know what else to do," he said, tears streaming down his face. "She was crying, Val. She was so upset, and I just wanted to make it better. I thought if I agreed, she’d be happy, and things would calm down. But I didn’t mean it. I don’t want to marry Laura. I don’t want to be with anyone but you."His words swirled around in my mind, but I couldn’t make sense of them. He had agreed to marry Laura? How could he do that to me, to us? I felt a surge of anger and betrayal."You agreed to marry her?" I repeated, my voice shaking. "How could you, Aiden? How could you do that to us?""I didn’t mean it," he pleaded. "I was just trying to calm her down. I don’t want to marry Laura. I love you, Val. You and our baby are everything to me.""But you said yes," I said, my voice rising. "You told her you’d marry Laura. Do you have any idea how that makes me feel? Do you even care about what I want, what I need?""Of course, I car

    I waited for Aiden to speak something. I wasn;t a patient being but with him I was trying to be. I could see he was fighitng a battle on the inside buit I couldn;t do anytging until he spoke himself. "Mom dropped by the office today," he began. "She demanded to know when I was marrying you," that was literally nothing new. Why ouldn;t the woman get the hint that it wasn;t happening. "I told her it was none of her business, and she went ballistic, telling me that wasn’t the way I should speak to her." I still hated that woman. Travis had made sure she left me alone, even cutting ties with her. Aiden had tried to do the same, but she was his mother, and it was hard for him. I didn’t want him to cut her off for my sake anyway. He had a mother, and although she was mean and self-centered, no son should be separated from his mother. I wouldn;t want my child to be serpated from me like that. "Then she said that if we weren’t getting married, I should marry Laura." I was stunned. I looked

    ValerieAs the doorbell rang happiness surged inside of me. At last, my angel came.Opening the door wide my whole concentration was on the packets in his hand rather than on him. Taking the packets for him I just went inside straight to the kitchen without a hello or anything.I just wanted to devour what was inside that packet before Carmen or Shay caught me. Carmen would literally fry me if she knew that I was busy eating fried mozzarella sticks that too with a vanilla chocolate smoothie. I heard the door close and him coming to the kitchen.This had become our norm, I would rush to the kitchen with the food and set each of us with a plate, mine always had a little a more than his. Whatever I ate, he had to eat that too, it was a part in a way for him to become the part of my pregnancy. I hadn;t lied to him when I had said that he would be a part of this preganncy in every step. As I looked up to see where he was I found his near the kitchen door. He stood there smiling at me wi

    Valerie Two months later..................."Why," I questioned. "Why now," I was almost near to pnaick. "Why?" My father asked. "What do you mean by why. We are just going to meet each other and Bryan called me here to meet with him, Valerie. I think we should have talked to each other months back." Dad said while standing at the entrance of the house and by dad I meant Travis. I called them both dad but this was going to be first freaking time they were going be together face to face. I won't lie this whole dad one and dad two concept was so confusing for me. I have already told them if they ever were in the same room I will call them by their name rather than Dad. I haven't let them meet each other until now. If you remember when Bryan met Laura's father he beat the shit out of him. I don't want a recap of that with Travis. Gosh I still cringed thinking how beat up Laura's father was after Bryan's beating. "I'm having a bad feeling about this." I really was not going to tend t

    Valerie "I.. never knew." a tremble in his voice made me believe that he really had no idea that what had happened."When my father came to know that I wasn't his he decided to hurt my mother by having affairs and dangling them in front of her," I paused taking in deep breaths. "My mother loved my father a lot but she understood what she had done," I continued even though all the memories were painful."She knew that she had hurt him too much, betrayed him. So she decided not to fight with Dad, she fought with the pain she suffered but she didn't give up easily. For four years she lived on knowing how her husband was cheating and hurting her. She lived for me until the day it became too much to handle." A tear escaped my eyes as I remembered finding her dead. The memory was ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life. Looking up to Travis I saw his eyes turned away from mine. He couldn't even look at me anymore.If only he had been brave enough to do the test last time this wouldn'

    ValerieI waited for him in the cafe near my office, and let me tell you it was torture. The smell of coffee was in the air and it was hard to not have it. So I did the right thing and ordered one latte for me. I googled and even my doctor said a cup a day won't do any harm but under the watchful eye of Carmen, Shay, and dad I couldn't even have a whiff of coffee. One little sip of it was heaven for me. It had been six days since the thought of meeting him has been taking over my mind. The last I had seen him was a week before.Last night I had asked Aiden for his number when he came home with me. Aiden did really give me space and time. He called before even thinking of coming and he apologized times and again because of his mother showing up here. I really didn't say much about what happened between me and his mother. The only words that slipped my lips was that I didn't like her and he had promised that she won't disturb me anymore. I had called Travis and asked him to meet me at t
