Azalea stirred in her bed, the thirst in her throat becoming unbearable. She reached for her phone on the bedside table, squinting to check the time. It's 1:30 in the morning. She sighed and pushed back the covers, the cold air hitting her skin.She's been restless all night. Seeing that Maddox, her professor, whom she kissed is actually Jackson's dad, was a never ending movie in her head.Not only that, the feelings she's trying to get rid of for Jackson.She tiptoed out of her room and down the hallway, careful not to make her presence known. She reached the bottom of the stairs and turned to get to the kitchen. However she was bumped into.There was crash and a sprinkle of liquid got onto her."Shit."Azalea realized that it was Maddox. He's dressed in a white shirt and grey sweats. The brown liquid from his whisky is staining his shirt as he tried to stupidly dry it off with his hands."Shit I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to," she quickly apologizes. All she wanted was water. Thompso
Jackson glanced down at Megan and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He's only been sitting down for ten minutes now and he's starting to feel weird.His mind racing and his heart is beating at a thousand miles an hour. Jackson grabbed his phone and checked the time. It's nearly one in the morning."What's the matter?" Megan asks."I gotta go." Jackson got up but she pulled right back down. Jackson wiped his head again and sighed."You said you weren't going to leave until I fell asleep. Do you not care for me and our child?"He was getting tired of hearing that phrase. It was getting agonizing to hear."Well you're taking too long to close your eyes. I'm leaving." Again he got up to leave but she stopped him, straddling him right after."Get-Megan grabbed him by the face and shushed him. "You can't deny that you don't want me, Jackson.""It was literally...one fucking time." He exhales. Not true since he decided to take her back to his dorm out of spite. Why'd he allow her to get th
Jackson sat across from his mom, a cup of coffee in his hands as he fidgeted nervously. After he left his house he took a bit of a pitstop at the nearest pay phone since his phone is dead. He knew his mom would be the best person to talk to about how he's currently feeling."Hi sweetie!," he hears. Jackson glanced up, a lady with short brown and gold hair making their way towards him. He smiles upon seeing her."Hi mom." He got up, hugging her tightly."Oh my, I hope whatever this is isn't about your father," she mumbles. He exhales."No, actually." Noticing his tone of voice and saddened expression she frowned, setting a hand on his."Well I'm here for you sweetie, anything you need to talk about I'm here okay?" He nods. "So what is it that you have to tell me?"He said, taking a deep breath. "Remember that girl I always talk to you about?""Yeah, Azie is it?"He nods. "Yeah, well, I know you know I really like her and I discovered that she actually likes me back and we even kissed."
The next morning came and there was silence. Jackson was restless the entire night, literally not getting a wink of sleep. His mind was racing with what his mother had told him earlier.He wanted her to come here but he doesn't want her to be drawn in by his fathers "captivating aura", as she puts it.Jackson set his toothbrush in the holder and sighed, looking at the marks Megan left behind. She's sending him absolutely insane.He left the bathroom and went to his closet, grabbing a sweater to hide most of what he can. Jackson slipped into sweats and went over to his bedside drawer, taking his phone off the charge.He powered it on and left his room. Making his way down the hall he came to a stop, looking at Azie's door. He pulled himself towards her door and stood there.He stopped himself from going inside and pressed his ear against the door. He doesn't know what he what he was listening for but he was just acting on impulse.Suddenly the door opened and he flew back. Azie stopped
When Jackson arrived at his house he was not feeling it. He just wants to get Megan over with. Jackson went to the living room and she's sitting on the couch, clutching a cushion.Jackson gave her an empty stare as she met his gaze. She didn't care about what, or how he was feeling, as long as he's here."Let's go."She knew what he was talking about and she rolled her eyes, getting up from the chair."This so stupid and over the top," she mutters. Before she could pass him he grabbed her upper arm."If they're actually my child, I'll take care of it...but I swear to God if you're doing all of this for whatever fucked up reason you've got going on in your head I'll honestly hurt you, Megan."She stared at him, studying the look of anger he tossed her way. Megan pulled her arm out of his hold and scoffed."Whatever."They two of them were out of the house and making their way back to the hospital. Or well, the nearest one. The car rode was silent and Megan didn't care anymore at this p
When Jackson got back to the beach house he was absolutely drained. This should be easy for him yet, why is it so hard to deal with. Actually no, it's not hard, all he have to do is tell Megan to fuck off until it's time for her to give birth, yet she's still around.He blames himself.Jackson searched his phone, noticing all the missed calls and text messages from Azie the day before. He feels like an idiot. Usually he'd like the feeling since that would mean he doesn't know everything. But this...this is different.Jackson turned on his stomach and decided to text Azie. This break is taking too many lefts.'In the morning we should go in the city, I want to show you to meet someone.'No answer. He sighs and flipped back onto his back. He scrolled through his contacts and called his mom.He placed the phone to his ear, listening to the ringing sound. He closed his eyes, inhaling sharply."Hey sweetie!" She beams."To be, or not to be.""Good God, what's the problem this time?" She as
Azalea's eyes met Maddox's gaze and then Jackson's, before returning back to Alice's. Azalea couldn't believe that the woman that is standing in front of her is Jackson's mom; but not only that, the ex wife of Thompson, whom she's kissed and had eat her out a few nights ago.Azalea wanted to be awakened from this nightmare."Oh, h-hi, Mrs. Thompson." Azie says, bowing a bit. Alice touched her chest and chuckled."It's Reeves, sweetheart, I'm a free woman." She corrects playfully. Azalea reciprocated the woman's cheerful demeanor and gazed at Jackson.He faintly smiled upon locking eyes with her. Her eyes flickered to his neck, catching the red marks that he's desperately trying to hide with the sweater he's got on."Sorry, Ms. Reeves, it's very nice to meet you.""I like her already. Come on let's sit on the patio. Jackson, get us ladies some wine please. Maddox, my bags are in the trunk," she says flashing the man a meaningless smile.Both men exchanged a glance before going on to do
After what she heard earlier Azalea didn't know how to react, but she did avoid everyone's presence for the entire day by locking herself in her room.But now, she's being dragged out by Alice, the mother of both the hell and the storm."Azalea?" She hears along with a few light knocks. Azalea turned to the door and cleared her throat."Um...I made dinner, hopefully you can join us."Azalea didn't want to be obvious or weird about everything going so she agreed."S-sure, I'll be out in a moment.""Okay, take your time sweetie."Azalea inhaled and then exhaled. "Red leather, yellow leather, yellow leather blue leather." Azalea hummed, clasping her hands together."It's just dinner with your complicated crush you don't want to have feelings for and his father whom you agreed to doing things with. It's only dinner. In and out."Azalea inhaled another breath of air and nodded. "Right." She left the room and went downstairs, joining the complicated family.The three of them turned their at
There is a ring of the doorbell and Jackson exhaled. He and Azie are tied into on another on the kitchen counter.After they graduated they immediately moved in together. Thompson was actually the one to buy the house for them and Jackson appreciated his father even more. He knew he was trying.A few months later Azalea was giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, a bet she lost by the way, and it was hectic in the delivery room. He was present for Megan's birth, well, not entirely a birth since she had to get a C-section, which nearly cost her their child and her life as well.As for Hailey and Peter they're friends with Jackson and Azie. After the night of the ball that night, Azie, Hailey and Peter had a blast.They drove around ate and sang songs. Then they kind of became permanent friends after that. And it's been four years of the same thing. Hanging out as adults, taking about their kids and marriage and working.The doorbell echoed through their house again and still they ignore
It's the night of the winter ball and everyone is excited to finally be away from exams and soon enough, school. Jackson combed his hair back and smiled."Damn I look good."Azie rolled her eyes and set her gloss down. "I mean you look good too but not better than me." He teases."I'm staying at the dorm."Jackson grabbed her by the waist, pulling her close to him. A smile is plastered on his face, showing that knee-weakening dimple of his."Now you know I'm kidding," he whispers, kissing her lips. "You look absolutely amazing. Like my personal Cinderella.""The longer we stay here and kiss the less I want to be in these heels.""Okay, okay fine."Jackson and Azie left their dorm room hand in hand and to the auditorium. There were young adults sprawled in the halls and out in the yard, laughing and talking amongst each other.Jackson felt ecstatic about tonight. He doesn't want to scare her, but he has been preparing for tonight. He's just hoping that it goes well.The both of then re
Azalea stared at herself in the mirror. It's been two months and it's time for winter ball, then graduation soon after, something she can no longer wait for.Azalea rubbed her belly, only being three months into her pregnancy. It was stressful at first due to the morning sickness, but she's gotten used to it.The door opened and in walked Jackson with a wide smile and his arms stretched out."I'm back," he sang-song, planting a kiss onto her cheek after he got closer."Welcome back.""Just finished my last exam which only took me about ten minutes, and now we have time to shop for our clothes for the winter ball tomorrow night." Jackson pulled her by the waist and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, the kissing going further.He groans and stopped before he got too excited. "I think we need to schedule sex because I don't want to harm our unborn child."She rolled her eyes, hitting him on the shoulder. "I'm only three months, J, and I'm sure we'll both be fine."He exhal
A week went by and Azalea, Jackson and Maddox are at the hospital to get the results their to see who could be the father of Azie's child. But to be honest, all of them knows that it's Jackson's. However a safety measure won't hurt.When Azie saw Maddox again after so long the man looked absolutely stressed out. She would feel sorry for the man but he nearly killed Jackson. However, now, he looks fine.Jackson held her hand, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "We'll be fine," he whispers. The first time the three of them came here the doctor gave them all a curios look, but didn't dive into it.Azie felt absolutely ashamed by the process too. Having a son and his father figure out who's mini them is growing inside of her. It's both stressful and embarrassing.Maddox occupied himself with texting Alice. After their encounter last week they've been taking things slowly. Conversations are sometimes awkward and flat, but anything to keep her around.Jackson noticed his father's actions and s
Thompson sat at the table with a bottle next to him. After he came back to his house he went straight for the bottle. He was glad to have finally spoken to Jackson without having a break through.He envied it also. He didn't have a chance to speak to his father and find out what it was that was wrong with him.Maddox stared at his phone, waiting for some sort of call or even a text from Alice. He knows why she wouldn't answer him, but why isn't she? He can only wonder if the woman is officially done with him.Maddox rubbed his eyes to ease him upcoming frustration with her. Maybe this is her way of torturing him again. As said before, their divorce fucked him up completely."Come on Ali..." he mutters to himself. Maddox exhaled a breath and finally picked up his phone, calling her. It rang, and rang, and rang.'Hey it's me Ali, and if I don't answer then that means money called first, but you can leave a message if it's unimportant.'After the recording was a beep."Ali...please talk
Azalea waited the for a while to get food and even texted Jackson as a reminder, however she got no answer. Little did she know that he'd been occupied with father-son bonding.In the end she ordered for herself and caught up with Chem and homework. She's been on it nonstop, only taking pee breaks, which was tiring.Azalea sent in the last homework she had and celebrated. "Finally." She closed her laptop and laid flat on her bed, getting lost in her thoughts. The winter ball is in two months and she's yet to get a dress. To be honest, does she want to go?Her eyes drift to his side of the bed and she got up, getting in his bed instead. She wants to know where he is.Azalea tossed his covers over her and hugged on of his pillows, inhaling sharply. His smell is everything. Kind of like a new car smell with a transparent coat of cologne.Azalea thought of him intensly, feeling her stomach fill with excitement."Do you touch yourself?"She remembers Thompson asking her if she touches hers
Jackson been waiting for approximately four hours for his father to show up. The entire time he's been on edge, sweating and over thinking. He wasn't sure why he came here so early but here he is.Jackson exhaled a breath and glanced at the time. Only three minutes left before Maddox walks through those double glass doors.Jackson finally got up and ordered his food. "Like...three big mac combos, two large root beers a water, three large fries and two ten piece nuggets by themselves please."The lady typed it all in without care. Jackson cleared his throat and added another item."And three apple pies please. And another water."She heaved a sigh, putting it in. "Does that complete your order sir?" Jackson nodded and glanced at the door."That'll be $48.05."Jackson pulled out a fifty and paid. He took his receipt and retook his seat as he waited for his number to be called. Suddenly his phone vibrated into his pocket, causing him to jump.He exhaled a breath of relief and took out hi
Azalea cried for what seemed like forever. In the end, they cuddled for hours. He caressed her hair as she lay on his chest. The silence was eerie, and who could blame them?Jackson glanced down and noticed that she fell asleep. To be honest she needs it. It was an overwhelming day for her. For the both of them actually.Jackson didn't move seeing that he doesn't want to wake her. His blue eyes stared at the ceiling, thinking about the possible outcomes on how this situation can turn out.She can get rid of it if she wants to and boom, problem solved...right? Or...she could decide to keep the baby and they'd have a child together. He didn't hate the idea seeing that it would be with the girl he fell in love with.However, there's always a problem. There's Megan and then his father. He of course doesn't doubt at all that the child is his since...well, he's been inside of her many times other than his dad.Then he frowned upon the thought. "Five minutes on the phone with mom, checked th
Azalea and Jackson cleaned up after her puke incident and he went to get her soup from the cafeteria as she stayed inside. To be honest her mind is racing. She had zero pills after sleeping with him and Thompson, so chances are she could be pregnant by either man, but she doesn't want to think that way.Then there's a reason for not eating properly due to stress. Could be stress. Azie nodded."Yeah, stress. All I need is water and I'll be fine. I'm fine. Nothing to think about. Surely it can't happen after just one time. Impossible."The door opened and she spun around to see Jackson with a bag inside of his hand and a bottle of water."They had no soup so I just got you your favorite pudding and water. I didn't want you to wait to put something in your stomach since you could be hungry now. Umm, if you like we could go out and get something else."Azie shook her head and took the bottle of water from his hand, along with the pudding.She took a seat on his bed and cracked the cap of
