Paul has been here in the hospital with us since the first day. He barely leaves, and he keeps getting phone calls from his wife. She is pissed because he is never home, he tried to explain that my dad is like a dad to him, but she really wants him home. I understand.
I take a deep breath as soon as Paul leaves, looking at mum. She looks so tired sitting next to dad. He is recovering, and he keeps telling us to go home, but obviously mum doesn’t listen to him, I go home once a day to have a shower and change my clothes, but mum doesn’t leave this hospital. I bring her fresh clothes every day, and she showers in dad’s bathroom in his room. She is insane. She needs rest; otherwise, she will be the one here.
“I’m gonna go get a coffee”, I say, and mum nods her head while dad reads the newspaper.

I have a headache forming, I pull my glasses off of my face and rub my eyes a little taking a deep breath. “Hey, brought you some coffee”, I hear a familiar voice, I raise my head to see Ash standing in front of me offering me a smile and holding a coffee. I stand up immediately and wrap my arms around his neck. Ash hugs me back, I can’t believe he is here. “What are you doing here?”, I ask in shock as he offers me a smile. Ash is like a brother to me, we met while I worked at the coffee shop to pay for university and we became close, but then he moved away to America. I miss him every day. I can’t believe he is here now. “I missed you, why haven’t you been picking up your phone?”, he asks annoyed and crossing his arms in front of his chest.

Aimee POVDinner with Ash finished earlier than expected when he started to be approached by loads of girls wanting selfies and autographs. I have to say I am quite happy that it did, if we stayed longer, he would've been able to know I was hiding something, and he could read me like a book so that he would figure out about Alec.I close my eyes, stopping the alarm for the third time since it went off at six in the morning. I have a meeting with Alec this morning, and I am not looking forward to it. I still feel his lips on mine, and I can't believe I allowed myself to feel his kiss, to let him in like that. He is going to break my heart, and I can't let him play with me like this.I take a deep breath sitting on my bed with my feet hanging. I place them on the floor and slowly walk to the bathroom removing the make-up from the night before and putting my hair up in

Alec POVMy heart rate is higher than normal, but to be honest I haven’t been running as much lately, and yesterday I had too much to drink. I look at the speed on the treadmill and I smile, I picked up the speed, but I am already feeling tired after only two miles, usually I only feel like this after four. Shit. I have really been neglecting my training. My phone rings announcing there’s a text message. I stop running and grab my phone. Automatically I feel my blood boiling when I read the message from Aimee saying she can’t meet me today. Who the fuck does she think she is to blow me off like this?I sit on the workout bench taking a deep breath and typing back asking her what emergency. Why is she blowing me off? What could be so important? Shit, her mum? Her sister? Are they back? She is not replaying and I feel my heart beating faster than it was before, adrenaline pumping through my body.

He looks at me and then turns his head and focus on his hands again. “Alec, you can go home”, I say and he looks at me shaking his head but he doesn’t open his mouth. I can almost see the wheels turning in his head as he looks at me. I know he is thinking and overthinking and he wants to ask things but he is being too polite to do so. “Go ahead”, I let out just before I bring my cup to my lips. Alec blinks his eyes and scrunches his nose and then clears his throat. “Who is he?”, he asks and I tale a deep breath. “I’ve told you before, he is my friend ,Alec, someone that was there for me when I needed him the most, he is like a bro

Alec POV I lost all sense of right and wrong when I kissed Aimee, I should’ve kept my hands to myself, and I can’t even begin to understand what happened and why I did that. I think she has put a spell on me, she made me feel something that I don’t want to. I push those thoughts away as I put my tie on. I will be picking her up in thirty minutes and giving her the ring. I look at the small box with the single diamond ring on it and then I close it again shoving it deep into my blazer pocket. I take a deep breath grabbing everything that I need before walking to my car to pick her up. I feel nervous and I don’t really know why, this is a manoeuvre to get what I want, I am not proposing for love, or anything like that. I need a woman by my side and she needs the money. I look at the papers resting on the seat next to me while I drive towards her house. She is gonna have to move in with me. I am not going to be dr

Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 50 - The end
Epilogue Today is the big day. After she knocks on the door, Mum walks into the room I am staying in the hotel. I bring my glass with the amber liquid to my lips as I taste it. I have never been so stressed and nervous in my life. This is not our first wedding, but this is the real deal. This is the one, the one that will keep us tied together for the rest of our lives, the one we will rip all the contracts that were signed, and we will just sign a will leaving everything to our children. That is it. Mum walks to the liquor cart and pours himself a drink as she sits next to me, crossing her legs as we look out of the big window. We are having a small affair in the countryside. Aimee said she always dreamed of a spring wedding in a beautiful place outside, so that’s what she’s having. She has everything she has ever wanted. No, look at the expenses. “How are you feeling, son?” mum asks, breaking the silence. I look at her and smile softly. She is looking older, and she has aged a

Alec POV I closed my eyes, shaking my head, sitting on the edge of the bed while Aimee finished zipping up her black dress. As soon as she’s done, she walks to me and kneels in front of me with her hands on my face. I look into her eyes, and I see it. I know the pain she is feeling. The same pain I am feeling. “Are you okay?” she asks, shaking my head. I haven’t been able to shed a tear, but Aimee has been crying for the both of us. “No, I am not”, I let out under my breath. Aimee leans in closer and kisses me on the lips, and I close my eyes, feeling her proximity. “Mrs Hardy, they are ready”, The nanny says through the closed door. “I’ll be right there”, Aimee replies as she stands up and grabs her shoes. Before leaving the room, she looks back at me, closing the door behind her. I sink my face between my hands and allow the sorrow to take over. After a while, I stand up and look at my reflection in the mirror. I adjust my black tie and my black suit and walk out of the room
Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 48 - Surprise
Aimee POVMy entire body is sore, and today we have Abbey spending the day with the twins while we deal with the shit show that has become our personal life. Today is Paul’s trial, and both Alec and I are witnesses in the case. His wife asked for a divorce and was granted it straight away, and she moved to Scotland with her children. I can’t blame her, and she said she doesn’t want to be around him or anything that reminds her of the hard time he put her through. “Are you ready?” I ask as I walk into Alec’s office. He raises his head from whatever he looks at and gives me a slight nod. I walk around his desk as he pulls back, giving room for me to sit on his lap. I look at his desk, and I see the photo album from the university. Photos of the three of us together, and then one photo of them as children. Paul in a bike as Alec was on top of his skate, both of them laughing as they were racing. I feel my chest get tighter at the suffering this day is bringing to my Alec. I have a surpr

Alec POV “Alec… Alec”, I hear Aimee whispering next to me. I open my eyes and jump out of bed. “What? What happened?” I ask, looking around the dark room, and I can hear the soft giggle coming from Aimee. “Be quiet”, she says, and I nod my head looking at her, she is smiling, and I can’t believe I nailed a girl like her, beautiful, intelligent and caring. “What happened?” I ask as I sit back on the bed, passing my hands through my hair. “Can you hear that?”, She asks, and I look around the room, trying to find the source of noise she is asking about. I frown as I try to hear anything. “Nope, what is it?” I ask, and Aimee wraps her arms from behind on my neck and kisses my cheek. “Silence, they are asleep”, she says, and I turn around, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her to me. She giggles as I pull her to bed and hover over her. Aimee looks me in the eyes, and I can see the heat in them. It’s been months since we last been alone together, and I am craving her l

Alec POV I try to open my eyes but it’s hard, heavy, I force myself to open them and I am hit instantly by.a bright light that makes me close them immediately. It’s too bright. Slowly I open them, trying to get them used to the light and when I do I look around trying to figure out where I am. It’s a white clean room, I can hear a lot of beeping sounds. I can’t really move as pain irradiates through my body as I try to. I close my eyes again and pray for the pain to go away. The door opens and I hear steps into the room. I open my eyes again and I see a lady dressed in blue. She looks at me and smiles. “Welcome back Mr Hardy”, she says and I look around, I try to speak but my throat is dry and so is my mouth, I feel like it is full of sand. I look around and find a cup with water next to me. She smiles and walks to be offering the cup taking it to my lips. I gulp a little and drink some water relieving the pain on my throat. I look around but I can’t see anyone waiting for me. I bl

He looks deranged, he really looks like he has lost the plot and I don’t know how to get to him.“I guess your babies will be meeting their maker sooner than what we thought”, Paul barks at me and I can see Aimee crying in pain as he keeps pulling her hair. I take a couple of steps closer still showing him my hands in surrender. And I decide it is time to negotiate with him. The police is taking way too long to get here. That is if Amber really called them. Is she in this with him? Panic strikes over me as I offer to switch places with Aimee, ill stay here with him and Aimee will go.

Aimee POV “Where do you want the blankets?”, Abbey asks as she folds the blankets we bought last week. I smile looking at her as I tell her to put on the third drawer of the changing unit. She nods her head and smiles as I keep making the beds. I place the fitted sheet on the cot and smile looking at it. We decided we didn’t want to find out the sex of the babies. So everything is white, yellow, green and grey. The nursery is decorated with Dumbo things as it is very neutral. “I have something for you”, Abbey says and I turn to face her. She passes me a small blanket, and I smile. It has Alec engraved in it. I open the blanket and stare at it. It’s beautiful. “Oh abbey, this is beautiful”, I say and she smiles resting one hand over her heart. “It would mean the words to us if the babies could use it”, Abbey says and I nod my head. Agreeing they will both use it, it’s beautiful and it’s their father’s so we will keep it safe and use with the babies. I know Alec will love it, and

Pretend Girlfriend Chapter 42 - Going back to reality
Aimee POV “Alec, there’s no need for that, we are both adults and perfectly capable of sharing a bed”, I let out and he nods his head as his eyes focus on his hands on his lap. I can’t believe he is nervous about sharing a bed. I know its been a while but we can share a bed and not do anything. After all we are both grown ups and we can control ourselves. Alec walks to my small bedroom with me and he stops at the door. He then walks in behind me and sits on the edge of the bed as I get comfortable on the left side of the bed. I pull the duvet up to my chest and look at him as he lays on top of it. I turn to my side facing him and he turns his head to look at me. His hands resting on his stomach. “Alec, you’re gonna get cold”, I whisper and he shakes his head. He then takes a deep breath and closes his eyes as if forcing himself to stay still. “I should sleep somewhere else, you need to rest”, he let’s out as he is about to stand up. I grad his arm and his eyes meet mine. I shake
