“Yes. I'm Micheal Rivers, nice to meet you.” Rich introduced himself to the Indian tourist, reaching out his hand for a handshake. The man gladly took his handshake with a broad smile on his face. “Thank you very much,” the man responded gayly. Rich gave a slight bow, politely putting his right hand on his chest and his left hand behind him. He was wearing nerd glasses that gave off a smart gentleman look to anyone who met with him. “Is that your wife?" Rich asked looking over the man's shoulder at the woman behind him who was busy taking pictures with some little children
William left the bar with the people cheering for him because he had just paid for all their drinks. He had had quite a number of drinks, but William wasn't the type to get drunk easily. Two blonde girls escorted him out of the bar to his car. “When do you want us to come over to your place?” The tallest of the two asked him as he made his way to his car. “We can come with you right now if you want,” the other said in a seductive voice. Williams stopped and gems them both by the waist. They careessed his body, sticking to him like glue and paper. “I have a lot of work to do dolls. But I promise I'll be back for you guys tomorrow,” williams said, kissing the girl on his right in the neck. He turned to kiss the one on his right on the lips. They clung to him as he opened the car with his remote. “Hey Kelly!” a guy called from inside the bar. The tall ran to meet him, leaving her friend with William. “Kelly's gone, you can take me with you now,” the other girl whispered seductively
Rich landed on his bed with a thump. Be stared at the white ceiling and remembered Samantha. Richard rubbed both hands in his face and stood up to go into the bathroom. His phone rang and it was Samantha. "Hey,” he said dryly.“You're ignoring me. You're ignoring me, Rich!” Samantha broke down and started crying.Rich rubbed his temples tiredly and sat back down on the bed. “I told you I had work to do.”“Now that you're not busy, are you ready to talk now?” She asked him. “I guess…”“I told you I'm pregnant. You've been acting all funny about it. Aren't you at least happy to hear that or something?”“Happy? Of course I'm not. We agreed you were going to be on contraceptives didn't we? Then how are you pregnant? Did you really think that I'd be elated at the news? So you know I'm not.”Rich could hear Samantha's dejected sigh over the phone. “I know okay. I was on contraceptives…”“Then why are we having this pregnancy talk? Are you trying to prank me? If it's a prank, then yes yo
William woke up to the sound of the heart monitor beating. He looked around and saw plastic tubes around him. They were either connected to an oxygen tank or to his hand. Smaller kinds of those connected to different tanks and tubes. He woke up to his senses and realised he didn't know where he was. Or to put it in a different term, didn't know how he got to where he was. William could hear the sound of his own breathing in the oxygen mask. His hand started to ache on seeing the needle that was driven into his veins. He could see the blood above him in a small bag. Blood travelled from the thin tube into his veins.His head ached while he tried to remember what had happened to him. He pulled the Oxygen mask off his hand and took out the tubes, trying to get off the bed. It was then he noticed that there were other people in the room. They also had bruises and cuts and were still asleep on their beds. He put his two hands on his head as he felt a surge of migraine shoot up the back
“Hello...Rich…,” Samantha checked the screen of her phone to see if the call was still one but she had hung up on her. She buried her face in her pillow and cried her eyes out. The innocent white pillow soaked her tears and the bed silently accommodated the crying woman. After about half an hour later, Samantha was still on her bed, face down, sobbing. She still finds it hard to wrap her head around the fact that Rich could really break up with her after all they had done together. He was the only man she ever truly loved and wished to get married to, but their four year relationship was called off...over the phone!It was such a heartbreak Samantha wasn't sure she would survive. She turned over to lie on her back and put her hand over her stomach. Despite not wanting to get an abortion, she was also very scared to carry a baby inside of her for nine months. Sooner or later her family was going to find out about everything. At the same time she didn't want to have an abortion. Samant
Bright Illumination filtered through his kids as he shooke them open. He squinted because the room seemed bright to him. He was on the bed, but not tied around with tubes this time. He looked around and noticed that the ward he was in had changed, he was the only one in the room this time. He was also wearing a different colour of hospital clothes. Blue. William sat up on his bed, he felt sedated, but the pain had he was feeling had reduced unlike before. William looked around tiredly and wiped his face with his hands. The memory of.the night before played in his head. He remembered he was being followed by some cars and the last thing he remembered was being hit by another car. “But who were they?” He asked himself, sure that he didn't have the answer to that question. He looked up when he heard the door creaking open. A doctor walked in. He looked kind of familiar to William, but he didn't care. “When can I leave this place,” he asked the doctors. The doctor smiled at him as he w
Samantha looked up at the building and gave a sigh. Julie patted her on the back lovingly. They both went to get a parking spot on the ramp and it was crowded at the time. Despite the state Samantha was in, she found it quite interesting to look down and see all that happened from the very top of the building. It reminded her of the bird's eye view she usually had whenever she was atop the palace roof.It was always cold and windy up there, even on the hottest days. The thought sent an unusual chill down her smile for no reason.“Let's go,” Julie urged as they went inside and took the elevator to get down to the destination floor. While on the floor, Julie said she needed to use the bathrooms. While she found her way to one, Julie went to find a place to get her some snacks. They never knew it was going to take up to an hour to get into a room. They are quite lucky because it usually took other people three hours.After filing for an immediate appointment on the first floor, they had
Felix stood with his head bowed to his father who was seated behind his desk in his study. The king looked at his din without a word coming from his mouth. He had not expected to see Felix returning to the palace so quickly. “Good day your majesty,” Felix greeted the king curtly. He then stood straight with both his hands politely folded behind him.“I am not expecting to see you before me right now. It's only six months,” the King noted gently.“Yes, father.”“Is the mission complete already?”Felix shook his head, “No, father.”“Then what?”“Some things came up while I was away, and I'm afraid I might not be able to reveal any of that right now. But I've returned to him for a while and might be leaving again soon,” he explained, bowing.“I see. And have you heard anything from William? He seems to be doing pretty well where he is. To be honest I expected him to have come running home by now. Anyway, it's good you're back. I hope you've been able to learn a lot staying outside the p
What if she had not given him enough chance to explain or maybe she wasn’t even in the mood to listen to him. She let anger and bitterness cloud her. If he hid the fact about his child to her, it was for a reason. Maybe he didn’t want it to ruin their relationship bit she failed to see things his way. She was just bent on her own thoughts. She sighed as she went over to her baby and carried her to the bed with her and within few seconds, she was fast asleep. ...Eric constantly checked his phone to see if at least there would be a flash call from Sam but none. Even if it was a single lined SMS, he would appreciate it. Had she moved on?, he thought to himself He felt sorry that he kept such a big secret from her. He had always wanted to tell her, bit he didn’t seem to have the opportunity or rather the opportunity had been there but he was just too scared of her reaction. He was so scared of loosing her and he cherished her more then an anything. Today is the second day sinc
“Sam that was all in the past, yes I admit I was a cheat, liar, player and all evil you could think of me then, but Sam, that was all in the past . Believe me when I say I’m a changed man now. I have nothing with that girl. In fact I am even shocked to see her here.We haven’t been in contact for two years now and suddenly she just appears and wants to spoil the beautiful relationship we have. Please don’t believe whatever she said. Believe me when I say you are all I have and want. I love you so much and that’s all that matters“One could feel table sincerity in his voice but could easily believe him buy Sam wasn’t taking any of that. She felt so hurt and bitter that she didn’t want to talk to him. She was so pained“Are you done talking?”“Now leave me alone!” she dragged her hand away from his and walked away. “Sam please you have to believe me” he called after her, but she didn’t even look back at all. She just disappeared away, out of his sight. Eric stood confused and ang
“Who are you?“Sam asked with a sudden frown on her face as she saw the blonde thick lady, who had just opened the door to Eric’s house and is standing half way, as if blocking the entrance from her getting in“I should be asking you that question” she replied rather rudely, looking at her from head to toe with a smirk on her face. Samantha was confused. She didn’t know what to do, She was in a cross road. One mind told her to walk away, maybe when she saw Eric later, he would have a lot of explaining to do. Or rather she should just walk out forever since she wasn’t enough for him.Was Eric seeing another woman and deceiving her? Why was her life like this?Why does every man she keeps meeting keep failing her and leaving her shattered?She couldn’t accept the fact she had been played yet again by another man after the first one left her shattered and helpless. This woman standing in front of her, beautiful, with curves, her blonde hair packed in a ponytail and looking so radia
Eric sat in his parlour and took another sip of his beer. He didn’t seem to understand why Samantha had been avoiding him so he decided to go check up her and the baby. If she wasn’t going to see him, he was going to see her and make her see him.“oh, hello Eric! Nice of you to come by.” Samantha smiled as she opened the door to let Eric in. Her smile couldn’t be more fake. “i haven't seen you around lately so I came to check up on you and the baby.” Eric walked in.“I’ve just been a lot of busy lately, have a lot of things on my mind and all that stuff.” Samantha waved her hands in dismissive way.“maybe you should take a break, rest a little if you can. You don’t need so much stress in your life especially not when you have a baby to take care off.” Eric sat on the couch and looked at Samantha who was clearly avoiding eye contact. “enough about me, how have you been?” Samantha asked, sitting beside Eric and giving cheerful smiles every second. It was beginning to get weird.“I’ve
Samantha sat in her chair. Her thoughts were far from the sight of her child playing before her. Samantha was thinking of far deeper things. She was thinking of the life that her and Eric might or would never have. It wasn’t her fault; the life she had led so far was going to decide the fate that her and Eric had together. Samantha was deep in thoughts, she wanted the good life for her child and for herself and also for Eric but in her mind, she knew that she would eventually have to decide on who to let out her plan.Samantha crossed her legs on the chair. She c could see her child on the ground, having the time of its life. Samantha smiled. She wanted that; to be free without a care in the world. She just wanted all these choices and decisions to go away and leave her with the perfect and peaceful life she wanted to lead. It wasn’t the biggest thing in the world to ask but Samantha knew it was going to be hard and she would make choices she didn’t even want to make. The first choice
It was a very cool morning, the sun was barely out but one could see the rays from it that projected itself into the room, through the windows. The room was not so big ,but quite seizable to contain three people in it. Samantha was already lying on the bed with her son beside her . The room was well decorated with lots of flowers and designs. There was a little television hanged on the wall and a medium size refrigerator beside the bed. The bed was a medium size one which could contain two persons comfortably on it. Samantha rolled from one side of the bed to another and finally opens her eyes ,she stretches herself and notices that it was already broad daylight. She sluggishly and lazily got up from the bed and made for her rope which she put on herself. Oh god !what a stressful day I had yesterday, Samantha said .Walking into the bathroom of which its door was just adjacent to the bed she had laid on, She takes a brush and begins to apply paste on it . She swings it into her mouth
Eric had driven for nearly all of the night. His eyes were tired. His hands were tired, and even though he did not look like it and would not mention it to Samantha, he was tired.She had gotten tired the minute the clock struck 10PM, but she had kept up a losing battle with her body to stay awake. The baby had been asleep from before they even got in the truck. And for as many times as she slapped herself to stay awake, when the clock struck 11, she had thrown her head over the baby and settled into sleep.Eric did not feel himself drifting. He just knew that after the car had begun to move along the road shoulders and brushing nearby shrubs (one of which painfully slapped him on the head) that they had to stop and rest.They had been on the road for over six hours now. And there was a baby in tow. They had to stop and rest.He started keeping his eyes out for signs and notice boards. There were no other drivers on the road, so he kept on going. He hoped they would find a motel soon.
“Are you okay?”“Oh? Oh, yeah. I am.” Samantha whispered, then added, “t-thank you.”Eric gave a grunt in acknowledgement and turned the key in the ignition. The truck came to life with a rumble.“Here goes nothing,” he said as he clutched the gear shift.~~~Inside, Samantha fought a war against herself—a war she was gradually losing. In the last five minutes, she had turned at least seven times to catch a glimpse of Eric.To see his strong, proud chin. To see that flaming red hair. To see the stubble on his lips—she imagined how they would feel when she ran her lips across them—and all seven times, she had immediately thrown her gaze to the back of the truck as if she was searching for something.She wondered if Eric noticed this. She hoped not. She was already dying inward of the embarrassing prospects that her mind seemed to keep dreaming up.She tried to rock the baby in her arms to distract herself, but she found herself turning again, ever so slowly.Her eyes shot to his face a
Eric’s eyes were wild, but his face was calm; at least, it looked calm—on the outside, he seemed composed; nonchalant, even, but deep within, he was shivering and quaking down to his very soles.“Come on. We have to be quick. So you and the baby can sleep.”“I’m not worried about myself or the baby, I’m worried about you. What—are you… everything’s going to be alright, right? You’re going to be okay?” Samantha asked, a pleading expression on her face.She had tried several times to hide it. It was near impossible. One can only tamp down and attempt to suppress what they felt for so long. But like every other thing that is being restricted, constricted, squashed down… there were only two choices. Ever.That thing either chose to quake and break and fall under, and be forgotten, or… it would rise, and fucking explode.Samantha felt that way now. She could feel it deep in her—in her body, in her mind… in her soul… she was falling in love with Eric, and soon she would not be able to hold
