A heavy wind blew in through the window, the curtains flew up and Veronica jumped as the heavy pitter patter sound started "is it the rain?" She asked.
Samuel finally looked away from the television as the heavy wind disconnected the signal "it sure is.""Is Jason still outside?" She asked.Samuel furrowed his brows "I hope not. He do know how his body reacts to rainfall.""Did you see him pass us?""I can't tell."Veronica shook her head and rolled her eyes at him before standing up and walking to the window. She closed it and that got the flying curtains to settle before she opened the door forcefully because she has to fight for the upper hand with the wind "Jason? Honey you out there?"When she got no response, she closed the door and bolted it "I think he has come in.""Oh" was all Samuel did as he reached for his can beer that is always at least, a meter away from him when he is watching the games.Veronica stared at him and shook her head again "I'mAnna felt something tickling her brows and she couldn't help but furrow it. She heard a muffled chuckle and frowned. The tickling came again and she groaned, this time she heard a stifled laughter and couldn't help but open her eyes. She stared deeply at a pair of amused blue eyes, she wanted to complain but then remembering his fever, she jumped up to feel his forehead.He just lay there staring at her with a sweet smile and letting her feel his temperature. Anna sighed when she noticed that his body was just warm. She looked into his eyes and she could see that his smile reached there, his smile and something else, something she couldn't name."How did you turn in my arms?" She asked noticing that he has changed their posture and was facing her instead."Do I need to remind you how deep a sleeper you are?" He smiled."You gave me quite a scare" she smiled back to him, referring to his fever."I'm sorry about that" he apologized."It's okay" she looked around and
Anna walked into the house, her mother was sitting at the dinning table while typing into her laptop "hi mom.""Hey baby, how was school today?"She shrugged "fine.""Did you do the math's quiz?"She nodded."How was it?""Okay" Anna replied "where is Jason?""In his room. Why didn't you tell me?""Tell you what?""That Jason has a girlfriend?" Veronica smiled while looking intently at her.Anna bit her lower lip "I only found out yesterday. How did you know?""A beautiful girl came asking for him and when I asked him, he said he knows her. She is with him in his room now. I figured it out because Jason has never invited any girl home.""Oh" was the sound Anna made and swallowed, Courtney is with Jason in his room? Just what is she doing here? "I will go up now" she said and Veronica nodded before going back to what she is doing. Anna walked up the stairs to her room. She dropped her bag on the floor and fell on the bed. Her thoughts running wild.
Jason parked his father's Toyota in front of Megan's home. He stepped out of the car and straightened his bow tie, he looked very handsome in the tuxedo he was putting on. His shiny blonde hair was combed all back, revealing every part of his face, his blue eyes shines brighter than the evening sky, making the young lady watching him from her window gasp for air, she really do adore him but have only one problem, he is not free with her and hardly wants to spend some alone time with her.They have been dating for nearly a month now but not once had he kiss her, so many times she had tried to initiate the kissing herself but he always avoid her in his own sweet way that will leave her shocked but can't voice any complain. Her happiness is that she is his first girlfriend and for the fact that he asked her that himself, makes her feel over the moon. She had somehow found out the college he wants to attend and had made it her first choice, she will really love to remain with him but
The music ended and they all returned to their table. The MC, which happened to be the school president opened the time to vote for the prom queen and king. The paper that contains the name of the students was distributed and everybody buried their head to the paper while trying to make their choice. Anna sighed when she saw her brother name and ticked it without thinking twice, she then paused, thinking of who to choose to be his queen, her hand hovered above her name for some seconds before finally ticking Melody White.Jason on the other hand ticked his name and secretly tick that of his sister before folding the paper quickly when Courtney tried to see who he chose as his queen. She looked at him suspiciously and he offered her his killer smile. Mercy and her friends walked around with the boxes and collected the papers again. The party continued again while they wait for the final score."Dance with me sis" Jason finally said the words hanging at the tip of his tongue and
Anna got home to see Megan pacing in front of her house, she frowned as she walked up to her "hey Megan" she called and she turned to look at her."Hey Anna, thank goodness you are here. It's Jason" Megan commented."What happened to Jason?" Anna asked immediately."Well, you see" she licked her lips "he came home and mistakenly found out that Courtney is cheating on him with Cash.""What!" Anna shouted, she had always known that Courtney is bad news "where is Jason now?""Inside, I don't know how is faring, he really didn't look good when he left home" she was saying when Anna ran into the house.She rushed up the stairs in twos "Jason, Jason" she called, she opened his room to see him sitting on the floor with tons of empty cans surrounding him. She dropped her bag and ran to him, she snatched the can in his hands and pushed the carton away from him "Jason" she sat on the bed and hugged his head to her chest as a tear slipped out of her eyes, does he love Courtne
Anna opened her eyes immediately, she slowly pushed Jason away and stared deep into his eyes which was still covered with his passion and desire "Anna?" She heard again. Mom is back? She thought, why is she back today? Why is it today that she will keep to her words, why didn't she come back tomorrow as always expected of her?Jason was still staring at her, not ready to let her go. He reached to kiss her again but she averted her face, she stood up from his lap immediately and put on her top, she picked up her bra and bag and sneaked out of the room. Jason sat watching her, he wanted to call her back, he wanted so badly to call her name but he bit his tongue. He never let himself call her name even in his dream, because he is afraid she might be close to him in reality and then hear him calling. He closed his eyes to burn down the desire that she built in him.Anna sneaked into her own room, she drop her bag on the floor and tossed her bra into the basket that holds her dirty
The next day, Jason broke his SIM card, he didn't want Courtney to call and start begging like she had been doing since last night. He left the house to get a new one, after that he visited Josh who called the rest of the guys and they went out to have fun. His friends were surprised to see him living quite normal and having fun unlike someone who just experienced heartbreak for the first time."Dude you sure you have not been thinking of breaking up with Courtney, I mean, you don't look affected" Josh commented and the rest nodded."I have been thinking the same thing and not just that, you are not even considering forgiving her since you went and got a new SIM card" put in Peirce."She did it with Cash, you guys know how I feel about that guy and I can't see myself dating any girl he has been with" except for my sister, he almost added."Well, that is understandable" agreed James "I mean I too won't date any girl he has been with. I will see it as if he have taint them
Jason hailed down a cab, gave his address and got in. He took a long intake of breath before letting it out slowly, he miss her, oh God he miss her. When he left home, he has left with the idea, out of sight out of mind, he thought it was going to work for him but he was wrong, so damn wrong. He miss her like never before, this past three years of his life was the worst, every single day he wish he could see her, could talk to her, even if it's in the littlest way possible, to touch her.Everyday of his life was like hell, his new friends in school thought he was always moody and don't like socializing but the truth of the matter was that he had started missing his sister right in the plane and it has gone on like that for three years and four months, only heaven knows how he survived, each day he missed her more than the last and it tormented him. He had told himself that it's just because its the first time he is leaving her side, that he will cope, he can do it and that four y
Every thing went successfully and happily, well, except for Nana Edna and Veronica who were dragging who to be named after the baby if it happens to be a girl and grandpa Oscar and Samuel argued who will be named after if it happens to be a boy."You are the great grandparents, why can't you let us the grandparents be named after our grandchildren?" Veronica and Samuel will always ask."Because you didn't name our own grandchildren after us" Nana Edna and grandpa Oscar will always retort.While they all argued, Jason and Anna will always watch from the side, a beautiful smile on their lips. Back when they started their relationship, they had always believed that they were sinning against morality, against their family and against the world and then, what they thought would have been their retribution turned out to be a blessing.When they found out about Anna's pregnancy, they thought they were done for and then just like a miracle, their love was exposed as well as thei
Jason's eyes were red and it was evident he had been crying, Anna had her hand on his which showed she had been comforting him, her eyes were teary too, Samuel beckoned Veronica to come to him and he pulled her into his arms, no one knows how much she hate to talk about Jason's fate like him, that day she had lost a sister and a friend, so he understands very well."Did they really...died...the day...I was born?" Jason asked, veronica released herself from Samuel's hold and walked to him, she cupped his face in her hands and wiped his tears away with her thumps."I'm sorry, I never wanted to tell you this news because I know how it will affect you. I'm really sorry but I want you to know, it's not your fault and they don't blame you. Wherever they are now, I'm sure they are very happy and proud of you. They love you so much, I was there, I know how much they were expecting you, Eunice just can't stop talking of what to do when you arrive and Gerald said he will teach you how t
When Veronica saw the news and papers, her eyes burned red, who could it be? Who could hate her family so much? She thought back to who might know of the news and remembering that Sharon was the one that called her and told her about the pregnancy, she couldn't contain her anger, she got her phone immediately and dialed her number.Sharon picked at second call "oh my God Vero, how did the papers got to know? Who gave them such assumption?" She sounded frantic and for a minute, Veronica thought she might not be the culprit, but then who will it be if not her?"Don't sound like that with me Sharon, how could you do this!" Veronica was angry.Sharon was speechless for a while before saying "you think I did this?""Who else will it be? You are the only one that knows Anna is pregnant, you are the one that called and told me. Even if Benita knows, I don't think she will do this kind of thing!""I don't understand you Vero, Benita is my sister, I am your friend. If you can
Not only Jason but Anna also froze, she looked from Jason to their mother and then their father and back to Jason again. In the blink of an eye, her shock started to fade away, and in it's stead was an overwhelming happiness, Jason is not her brother, not by blood. They are practically two different beings, her happiness knew now bound and it was growing on her face as a blissful smile spread on her lips, but that is to her.To Jason, he was still in shock, his mind refusing to take in this new news, so the people he has address as his parents in the nearly twenty two years of his life were not actually his parents? He should be happy but why is he sad, why is his heart tearing out in pain "but...but...you have all my pictures, from when I was a day old, how...how...I'm I adopted?"Samuel sat up in the sofa "you were adopted when you were only two hours old. I was at home when your mother, I mean Veronica came home carrying a baby, she told me she want to adopt him because he
Veronica was pacing to and fro in the living room with her phone in her hand while Samuel was sitting on the sofa, his head resting on it. They both looked at the door when they heard it open. Veronica was surprised when she saw Jason but she didn't let it show, her gaze settled on the petite figure hiding behind him "I am going to ask this only once. Annabelle Naomi Macaulay, are you pregnant?"Anna and Jason stiffened at the tone of their mother's voice, she already know just like they suspected. Their lips were tight shut and they both kept their gaze on the floor. Seeing them behave like that, Veronica's heart constricted, there is no need asking, their behavior have just proven it "I'm asking you a question young lady" she raised her voice a bit higher this time.Anna sniffed and slowly nodded her head. Veronica became lost for words, even though she suspected it, seeing her admitting it was a whole different story "who is responsible?" Veronica asked, there is no way she
When Jason and Anna got to the hotel room, they both sat on the bed silently, each lost to their own thoughts. After like thirty minutes, Jason looked at her "I have been thinking" Anna granted him her attention then, she waited for him to continue but when he didn't, fear gripped her heart and she shook her head at him."No Jason, don't even think about it, don't even say it out loud, I don't want to hear it!"Jason looked at her in confusion, he grabbed her hands in his "say what Anna?"Anna's eyes had welled up and it wasn't long, the tears started dropping "I'm not having an abortion."Jason heaved a sigh and looked away from her "Jason, I know this is wrong but this is life we are talking about here and not just any life, our baby. Will you bear to kill our baby? When I saw that little dot in that monitor, I developed a sense of protection. I want to have my baby, please Jason" she sobbed.Jason heaved another low sigh "I will not lie to you Anna, I did think abo
Veronica stepped out of her office, it's been a tiring day, and she wants to do nothing but go home, have dinner, take a shower and go to bed. The thought of shower caused her body to tingle with expectation. She walked to the parking lot and got into her car, she closed the door and just in time to hear her phone ringing, she searched her handbag and got it out "hello Sharon.""Veronica. How are you?""I'm okay, you?""I'm great. Sorry I didn't turn up for the meeting last week, I was just so busy.""It's okay, we managed.""Oh, where are you?""On my way home.""Oh. Benjamin's father had a heart attack again, so we rushed him to the hospital.""Oh my, that's too bad. Is he feeling better now?""Yes, he is getting better, he has even regained consciousness.""That's good. Well, I wish him quick recovery.""Thank you. Em, that reminds me, is Anna sick?""Anna, sick? No, not that I know of. Why do you ask?""Well, I just saw her and Jason leavin
Anna turned to look at him with fear in her eyes "what...what...what do..do you...think?"Jason remained silent for a while before heaving a deep sigh "I think we need to go to a hospital.""Hospital? Is it necessary?" She asked."Yes" he answered "for all the obvious reasons.""What about class?""Let's go have it first, then you will come back for class and after school, we will go back for the result.""What result?"Jason sighed "Anna, come on."Anna bit her lower lip, her heart was already thumping in her chest and she knows which test Jason wants her to take. They walked back to the canteen and she grabbed her bag before they both left for the hospital.There was a hospital not to far away from her school, so they entered there. Jason spoke to a nurse and she ushered Anna in to speak with the doctor. After that, a pregnancy test strip was given to her and she walked into the bathroom and peed on it. She rushed out and handed the strip to the nurse.
A month later, Jason stepped on the soil of Los Angeles but rather than go home, he went straight to Anna's school. Anna was shocked when she received Jason's call that he was at her school gate, she had dashed out of her dorm and fair enough, he was there, she jumped on him and he spun three times with her before putting her back on her feet."When I call you feisty tigress, you will get annoyed but now look at you" he laughed.Anna spanked him on his shoulder lightly, she so much wanted to kiss him but they just can't, this is LA after all "what are you doing here?""Hmm, that's not what you asked when you jumped on me a minute ago" he grinned.Anna chuckled "well, first of all, I have to react on seeing you before questioning you, don't you think?""You busy? Come join me for dinner."Anna looked at her dressing "I'm I good like this?""You will look beautiful no matter what you wear" he complimented."Why, thank you" she replied shyly before grabbing his
