Valerie As Shay and I reached the club, we headed straight for the bar. I was set in the mood to be wasted and so was Shay. We went for the shorts right away, had them kept coming our way until I could feel myself go lose. The beats were good enough to make me want to lose myself. I wanted to be free, calm, and wild. As I looked at the crowd on the floor, it made me smile. I wanted to be lost in the sea of bodies. Taking one last shot I dragged Shay to the dance floor. Our bodies swayed with the beats of the music. I was lost. I was free. I was whatever I wanted to be. My body swayed with every beat, I closed my eyes and let the music consume me. I didn't care who I danced with or whose body was next to mine, nor who grinded against me. I was in my own world. My hands my legs my hips they all tuned themselves with the beats. Carefree, wild, on my own with no burden on shoulders. It made me feel myself, as if I was in control of myself after so long. I wanted that, no I needed th
Valerie I didn't look away, I held onto his stare. The guy behind me nipped my ear trying to gain my attention, but all my attention was on the brown-eyed guy who tore me apart. I grind against the guy behind me, raising my hand I reached for his hair giving me the permission to seduce me. My back to his front, my hips swaying to the beats and eyes on the man with the brown eyes. The mixed emotions of jealousy and sadness looming over his face made me feel better. The guy behind me trailed soft kisses from my ear down my neck. His hand roamed over my abdomen, just beneath my breasts. I enjoyed every second of it not because of his hands and lips, but because of the anger fuming in the eyes of Aiden. I wanted more, I wanted to hurt him more. "Water," I said huskily to the guy while stepping away from the guy. The guy nodded in agreement understanding me. I was thirsty but no amount of water could fulfill mine desire for revenge. I walked right next to him. Our eyes never breaking co
ValerieAiden stared at me with wide eyes, his disbelief evident in the way his gaze lingered on me. I could sense his astonishment, perhaps a hint of hurt beneath the surface, but my own pain overshadowed any sympathy I might have felt for him. "Is it Laura you're imagining now, holding your dick, kissing you, your hands in her wet folds?" I pressed on, my words dripping with sarcasm and bitterness. "Was it always her whom you saw when you came inside of me? Is it her sweet face you're imagining right now? Is it the taste of her lips you taste on my lips?" I taunted, each question a dagger aimed directly at his heart. "Tell me, Aiden, how does it feel to be looking at me and thinking of her? Does it make you sad that I'm not her, but just someone like her, like your sweet and innocent Laura?" My voice was filled with venom, my words a calculated assault on his emotions. And then, with a sudden burst of rage, he pushed himself away from me, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
ValerieMy head was pounding with excruciating pain. It felt as if someone had smashed my head over a wall, multiple times. I tried hard to open my eyes, but the brightness around me, felt like a hammer to my head. I groaned in pain, and tumbled over the sheets, smacking right into something. I touched it, and I felt skin. I searched my brain about any memories of bringing or being with anyone. The only memory that flashed my mind, was of Aiden. Well, there was that one hot guy dancing with me, but don't think I bought him home. I was drunk to the level where I hiccuped, well, both Shay and I... Shay! Where is she?"Get off me, you fat ass," The body, next to me, groaned."And, why in the hell is your room so fucking bright?" She kind of yelled, while rolling away from me.I’m an idiot... Of course! Who would be beside me in bed, aside from Shay?And, I was asking the same question she was. Why was it so bright in here?"Because, it is freaking noon, you two," My father's voice boomed
Valerie"I can practically hear the gears turning in your head from across the table, Val," Shay remarked, breaking the silence of my dull and monotonous office. "What's got you so absorbed, huh? Don't even think about saying 'nothing.' Your office is like a vacuum of excitement, and right now, all I can hear is your brain on overdrive." I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Shay's teasing, but deep down, I knew she was right. My office was as dull as dishwater, and her presence was like a much-needed injection of energy. "I was just contemplating breaking into someone's mansion," I admitted, allowing my thoughts to spill out. The idea of exacting revenge on Drew had been consuming me lately. I wanted to expose his true colors to Laura, but not before making him suffer for what he did to me. I wanted him to experience a taste of the hell he brought upon himself by using me. Throughout our relationship, I had learned one crucial detail about Drew: he was obsessed with expensive watch
Valerie As I stepped into the familiar lobby of Aiden's building, a sense of anticipation mingled with apprehension washed over me. Despite the turmoil raging within, the sight of Maya, the cheerful blonde who had once guided me through these halls, brought a small, albeit forced smile to my lips. "Hey," Maya greeted me warmly, her eyes alight with genuine pleasure at my unexpected visit. "Hey, Maya. I need some time with your CEO. Could you help me surprise him with a visit and ensure his secretary – whoever it is – disappears for a while?" I whispered, my voice dripping with sweetness as I leaned in closer. Maya's eyebrows shot up in surprise, her curiosity piqued by my mysterious request. Ignorant of the true nature of my intentions, she readily agreed, eager to facilitate what she believed to be a romantic rendezvous between Aiden and me. "I've asked Jerry to step out for a bit. Mr. Aiden's been swamped with work lately, and I think he could use a break. So, take as much time
AidenThe weight of her gaze bore into me, each moment feeling like a crushing weight upon my chest. Those eyes, once so full of warmth and affection, now held a pain I had inflicted. Regret gnawed at me, twisting my insides as I realized the depth of the wounds I had caused her. It was my words, my actions that had driven her to this desperate state, and I was terrified for her.She asked for something I couldn't give, something that would only push her further away, rending her soul even more fragile. Yet, the touch of her skin against mine ignited a desperate longing within me, urging me to lie, to deceive her, in a feeble attempt to shield her from the harsh truth. I cursed myself for wanting her, for trying to absolve myself of guilt when none existed. Time couldn't be rewound, promises made couldn't be unspoken, and the truth would only inflict further wounds upon her already battered heart.The love that once bound us felt like a distant memory as I watched her bend down and pr
Aiden Valerie stared at me with her cold eyes."Explain yourself," Val's voice sliced through the heavy silence like a knife, her demand hanging in the air between us like an accusation. It was the moment I had been dreading, the moment where I would have to lay bare the darkest corners of my soul and face the consequences of my actions. Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders, preparing myself for the inevitable fallout. This was the hardest part, the moment where I would tear away any remnants of affection she still held for me by revealing the truth. "Laura chose Drew over me that day," I began, the words heavy with the weight of regret. "I knew that there wasn't any hope left for me and her. I wanted to drown in my pain and sorrow... that was when I saw you." I paused, the memory of that fateful night crashing over me like a tidal wave. Val, so much like Laura yet undeniably herself, had been a beacon of light in the darkness of my despair. But in my twisted, alcohol-fuele
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
