S E L E N AWalking out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my chest. I had my wet hair wrapped in a towel as I walked towards Pedro’s bed.“Oh,” a bright smile spread on my face as I saw the shirt and a pant Pedro had laid down on his bed for me. My dresses had been stained with dirt after laying on the dusty bed in my former for what seemed like an hour of our make-out.The thought of make-out made my smile deepened and I slowly bit down on my bottom lip. Who would have thought I would ever give in to Pedro's charm again?I cleared my throat to check if Pedro was anywhere near the room and then moved my gaze towards the closed door. After making sure he wasn't there, I let out a satisfactory smile before peeling the towel off my body and tossing it to the floor.“Silly,” I chuckled. Why would I still be worried about him walking in on me while I was getting dressed when I had displayed everything for him to see with nothing more to hide?I shook my head and laughed at my foo
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 41 — Date night, huh?
S E L E N A“Wait, Nina,” Pedro gasped and grabbed my hand, stopping me from stepping out of the car. My cheeks heated up in a smile, knowing he hadn't forgotten the name he used to call me.“Yeah?” I pressed my lips into a thin line, gulping down the smile that was threatening to break out of my face. I pulled my hand away from the button and turned back to see Pedro, staring at me with a wide grin on his face.“You look beautiful.” Pedro let out, his voice filled with awe. His eyes, a deep shade of purple met mine and I couldn't help but smile softly. I cleared my throat and looked down at my lap. “Thank you.” God! I felt my cheeks heated up and I was sure my cheeks must have been a shade of red. Pedro didn't say anything for a while, which made my cheeks heat up even more. “Um,” he said and I slowly raised my head to see him staring at me with a nervous smile.“Will you drop by tomorrow to get your dress?” he asked, and I felt my mouth curved into an ‘oh’.I had almost forgotten
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 42 — Why can't you just stop lying?
CHRISTOPHER My muscles clenched and unclenched, over and over again, as I watched the car that had dropped Selena off drive away. My hand gripped the doorknob so tightly that I could feel the tension in my body transferring to the poor knob. It was as if I was pouring all of my emotions into the metal in my hand. It was the only thing keeping me from running after the car and punching whoever was in the car in the face.Although I couldn't be sure, I had a sinking feeling that the driver was none other than Pedro Lopez, Selena's ex-lover and the father of her child. The very same man that she'd never really gotten over, and whose child had grown to love me. My mind raced with thoughts of what this meant, and how it would affect my relationship with Selena.Would Selena still want to be with me, knowing that her ex was back in the picture? Or would she choose to go back to him and leave me behind? I couldn't shake the feeling of dread that was settling over me.I let out a heavy sigh
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 43 — I scared you, Lena.
SELENAChristopher had asked me to check on Liam, but I found myself going to my room instead. I wasn't sure I could face my son in the state I was in. Everything that had happened downstairs was still swirling in my mind. My heart was racing, my thoughts a jumble of confusion and fear. I couldn't believe what had happened between Christopher and me. It felt like a nightmare that I couldn't wake up from."I hurt him," I whispered to myself, my hand covering my face as the tears continued to fall. I had been crying ever since I stepped onto the stairs, and I couldn't seem to stop. It felt like the dam had broken, and I couldn't hold back the flood of emotion that had been building up inside me. I felt so guilty, so ashamed of what I had done. I had never meant to hurt Christopher, but now it seemed like I had done just that."I hurt him by lying to him," a voice inside me said, its tone filled with bitterness and self-loathing. And, as much as I hated to admit it, I knew that voice w
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 44 — How did he know?
SELENAI stood beside Edward's hospital bed, watching him sleep peacefully without any of the usual tubes and machines connected to his body. His chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm as he breathed, and I found myself smiling through my tears. It was a relief to see him like this, after all he had been through. I wiped away my tears and tried to compose myself, but I couldn't stop the steady stream of tears that continued to roll down my cheeks. I wiped my palms on my shirt, then reached out and pulled the blanket up to Edward's chest. I rested my hand on his chest, feeling the slow, steady rhythm of his heartbeat. And then I lost it, the tears falling faster and faster until I was sobbing uncontrollably. "It's not fair that your heart is going to stop beating in a few months, right?” I whispered, biting my hand to keep from sobbing. I had promised Edward that I would stay strong for him, but I couldn't hold back the tears any longer. I didn't want him to wake up and see me cryin
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 45 — Are you going to disappear again?
SELENA"Selena," I heard my name called again, and slowly turned around. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped when I saw who it was. She stood before me, a bright smile on her face, her eyes shining with joy. It was like seeing a ghost, my hands going numb and my purse slipping to the floor as I took a step forward. I shook my head in disbelief, as if I could somehow erase the sight in front of me. It was impossible, yet here she was, smiling at me as if nothing had changed. And I realised she was real."Mitchell!" I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth to stop the scream that threatened to escape. I couldn't believe I was actually saying her name out loud again, after all this time. After what happened. I felt like I was in a dream, one that I never wanted to wake up from.Mitchell's head nodded slowly, a single tear rolling down her cheek as she rushed toward me. She closed the space between us, her eyes locked on mine as she pulled me into a tight embrace. I could feel her heart pound
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 46 — Her tales.
SELENAI didn't know I had been holding back my breath until I watched Mitchell walk through the door. I released a sigh of relief. Honestly, I had little to no faith that she would come back, but seeing her making her way through the door made my face lit up with a smile.“Hey,” I smiled, waving my hand as she walked up to me. I wondered if the wave was necessary but I couldn't compromise my happiness to see her.Mitchell returned the smile, her lips curved to one side as she stretched out her hand for me. “Here, have it.” she beamed, handing me one of the two coffee cups in her hands.I took the cup from her and held it with both hands. “Thank you.” Mitchell nodded her head, taking her seat beside me on the long bench. She took a sip from her coffee, sighing as she moved her gaze up to the sky.The question burst out of my mouth before I could stop it. I had been dying to ask her what had happened, why she had disappeared, and now I couldn't contain myself any longer. I had to know
Mommy, I Want You To Marry Daddy! 47 — Arrogant bastard.
PEDRO“I wonder how it's going.” Roy sighed, tapping his fingers lazily on the files on the table.I tugged at my glasses and peeled it off my face. “You should know better than anyone that nothing is going to happen.” I shook my head and picked up my phone to check if I had any unopened messages from Mitchell. But there was none.His hand paused an inch from the file, and he averted his gaze from the file to me, flashing me a deadly glare from across the couch where he was sitting. “You’re only saying this because you're not the one that was threatened with his life if anything should happen to her.” he scoffed, grabbed his glass of whiskey and gulped it down his throat.I dropped my phone back on the table and groaned out. “Man, take it easy, would you?” I honestly didn't understand why he would be panicking if I let Mitchell work at the hospital. He wanted her to live a free life but wouldn't do anything about it.“If I'm not taking it easy, will I be sitting here going through th
