2024-01-19 02:36:48Another day, another morning, I woke up early. I informed my boss l about my dad being hospitalized, she let me take off for two days considering it a family emergency. There was no denying the fact that she was shocked to know that I had a father. She made it quite evident in her shock-filled gasp over the phone.
Getting office out of the way I thought about what to do. I didn’t have any idea about what I was going to do with my father. All I knew was that I still had to see him, hiding wasn't an option.
I made the short journey to the hospital, taking the long route and delaying as much as possible. When I entered his room I found him staring at the ceiling. I literally would have felt more relieved if he was sleeping. He didn't avert his eyes once as I settled myself on the chair beside him. It almost felt like the old days, when he never cared at all. I cleared my throat to get any reaction but none came.
"Dad," I called him softly but his eyes didn't tur

The feeling of betrayal hurt me beyond control. I wanted to rip my heart out and finish it. "No," I shook my head in denial but anothetr look at my father and I knew he wasn't playing around this was really happening. There was this need inside to kill all the emotions inside me. I wished to grow numb but it was hard. I couldn't bring my mother back from the grave and ask her what made her do such a thing. Was Dad not enough for her that she decided to play around? She was the loving wife and a mother. She was my idol, my everything but now she is nothing. What happened to make her do such a thing? How could she cheat? I needed to know the truth but was afraid of letting my heart be torn apart. All these years, I cursed the wrong person that I knew as my father for my mother's death but who shall I blame it on now, myself or her? I didn't care about the cold I felt, about my phone ringing or anything else but the sorrow and pain I held in my heart. Dad sat there in front of me and

Valerie There were times when I was stubborn and my father would always tell me this letting me know that there was nothing more left to discuss. Same again this was the thing. I was told to go into my room and rest. I tried to bargain my way around it and in the end I just nodded my head in affirmation making my way to the room. I could see him happy and see that was the happiest thing for me. I was just in time to help set up the table after my relaxing shower. Dad made a very good dinner for sure with salad, a chicken dish, as I preferred, served with well-cooked vegetables. It was a shock for me to see that he still remembered things about how I liked my food. We had our dinner with talks about my present life like what I do, which college I went too and other things. We remembered the happy moments of my childhood and I was great about that. Dad apologized once again for missing out very important days in my life but I told him there was nothing to be sorry about. I was glad

Valerie "I’m sorry, Val," Dad said and my face shot up. Why was he saying sorry? He hadn't done anything. "I‘m sorry, I know you have lost your faith in love because of me. I am sorry for that—" Before he could apologize more I cut him off. "It isn't all because of you, Dad," I said fast and saw my father looking at me, his face a mask of confusion. Okay, maybe dad was right maybe I had lost my faith in love because of him but he was not to be blamed for it wholly. "I swear it was partly because of you," I said and saw his face not losing the look of guilt. "You are not be blamed for all of it, someone else put the nail in the coffin," I added. I could see once again his brows raising in confusion. "When I was in college, I fell for someone hard. My whole world revolved around that one person and I loved him with my everything and gave up all of me to him only for him to have it crush it. He just left me like that saying that we were no more together and that too on a note. I ne

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 Aiden never backed down from his promise. Every day he proposed to me even if he remembered it at an ungodly hour. There wasn't a day skipped. He pampered me, put me first and I kind of expected for it to go for six months and then come to an end but it never did. He never stopped loving me and spoiling me and our kid. Six months passed and they did very fast with Neal and everyone else just trying to be with him. The house was filled with someone or other and then mom and dad moved out but Travis moved in. Every day had been a new day filled with new experiences, some good some bad. One of them was Neal's first word which wasn't mama or dada but poop. I was really surprised when he said that, kind of laughed out loud at that but minutes later I didn't find it funny. He had really popped. I was kind of glad he learned that word first then any other word. At least he could warn us before bombing the diaper. Aiden missed his first word but Neal's first step was taken with him. A

Valerie "Hey, it’s just me," He said while standing up and coming close to me."You just scared me. What are you doing here the rest of the people are out there. They will be waiting for us." I rushed out on the last few words."They can wait for a moment. You know I have to do our daily custom right now." He said smiling. He took out a box from his pocket and went down his knee."Are you ready for this Val?" I nodded trying to seem normal as I always did."Valerie Crawford would you please marry me and give me the immense pleasure of being your husband." He proposed like he did every day from the past two years. You guys must be confused let me explain it to you and give you a recap.So I hope you might remember him asking me to marry him when our baby boy was born. Well, things didn't happen the way Aiden wanted."Please marry me now," He pleaded with tears in his eyes getting on his knees while our baby screamed for attention. I was on the verge of saying yes but the cries of the

Valerie "I think you should get changed, Val. You smell like vegetables." Carmen said to me laughing and I seriously smelled myself. I stink and reeked of spices and boiled vegetables. It wasn't a pleasant smell people."Thanks, you sure you won't need my help for a while because I seriously have got to take a bath," I asked her in hopes that she won't have more work for me. It was mean and bad for me to pray for something like that but handling a toddler while working and preparing for an event wasn't easy. I needed a relaxing bath."Sure honey, I'm mostly done here. The meat is cooking and I will be just taking that pie out and leaving it to rest. I myself would be heading to play with my grandson." She told me and I felt less guilty. I was so thankful for her handling everything like a pro. She shooed me away to my room to take a bath and told me not to worry at all. I entered Aiden's and my room. I had renovated it up to my and Aiden's tastes just a few months back with Neal's ro

ValerieAlmost 2 Years later............"Granpa!," Neal squealed running towards the door just to be picked up by Travis and hauled up in the air. Every time he did that I could feel my heart in my mouth. It was only when he would catch him I would breathe a sigh of relief."Dad, what did I tell you about doing that to him?" Travis looked almost guilty under that smile of his. Over the past two years, I have decided to call both of them dad. I was so tired of calling them by their names. At first, it was confusing but then they certainly got the hang of whom I was calling."He is fine Val and he loves when I do that. Don't you champ?" He asked Neal who only gave me a big smile. That boy was getting spoiled bad. I shook my head and saw Carmen and Bryan coming behind Travis."Neal!" Bryan yelled with excitement and that boy was moving from Travis's arms to Bryan's who kissed him all over his face making him laugh. Carmen and Bryan got married six months after Neal was born. It was real

"Are you alright?" Shay asked with worry etched over her face. She had been ignoring her work for past few weeks to stay with me as Aiden had some important project having him stay at the office for a while. Travis was at his office and Bryan with Carmen had gone to the restaurant to check the new supplies that were coming in today. It was only me and Shay and I really didn't want her to worry about me a lot. She was going to develop wrinkles."Yeah, just catching my breath. You know getting up straight is also a tiresome task nowadays. How about you help me sit straight I feel like going to the bathroom. My bladder is going to blast." I laughed trying to ease her worries as she helped me stand I felt the pain again but decided to ignore it. With a slow pace like that of a snail, I reached to my room and walked into the bathroom. As soon as I sat on the pot I felt water rushing out of me. I thought I just peed and was thankful of reaching bathroom on time until the pain hit me making

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
