Clarissa's POV"Are you sure you're okay baby"? He asked for the millionth time tonight and I just nodded"I'm fine Tris, I was just a little bit dizzy okay" I assured him putting my hand on his arm, he still looked worried."I guess it's the stress from the work I'd been doing all week"I said referring to the whole event we had to plan, well mostly myself and Ava because the boys were too busy to help out.I had been feeling weak and dizzy all week, I just haven't really had enough rest, and Maya has been complaining that I take some time off work, it's almost time for my internship to end so the workload has become much.Also I asked Tristan not to give me any sort of special treatment because we were dating now."Can I borrow your date for a few minutes"? I heard a rather gruff voice say beside me and I almost jumped before looking back and seeing an older guy, not too old but older than Tristan.I gave him a weak smile before looking over to Tristan "I just need to discuss some bu
Tristan's POVI didn't know she was going to kiss me like that, one minute we were talking and the next, her lips were on mine.I literally felt my skin crawl with disgust, making me wonder how on Earth I ever had anything to do with her She looked so fake and I felt bile rise up my throat, Shantel.That was her nameShe's nothing like my Red, she was one of my many one night stands that never got the memo that I'm not interested in them in any way.I only looked up after I saw the sinister smile on her face, I knew she had played me right into her game, Rissa had seen it and from where she saw it, it didn't seem like she forced me.I breathe out and run my hands through my face, my mind was all over the place with so many thoughts.I had only seen her like twice today, at home when I took my bath in the bathroom and when she came to drop the schedule on my table and both times she wasn't smiling at all.My office door opened and Ethan walked in, he scrunched his face upon seeing min
Clarissa's POVWith just that one word, he retracted his hands from my face like it was on fire."What"? He asked looking at me "Tell me you're joking Red" he said still looking at me as if to actually confirm if I'm joking."I am pregnant Tristan" I repeated looking back at him"What do you mean you're pregnant, how? When"? He rushed out "What do you mean how, I am telling you what the doctors told me and you're asking how"? I whispered out"I thought you were on pill, so how the fuck are you pregnant"? He asked getting up"Well apparently, the pill isn't 100% efficient and I may have missed my dosage one time" I said matching his tone.This isn't how I imagined this to go but the sooner the better"You can't be pregnant now Rissa, at least not now" he voiced out and I scoffed"You think I don't know that"? I almost yelled"Well apparently you didn't know it enough to be careful, you should have been more careful" he gritted out making me look at him wide eyes"I should have been mo
Tristan's POV"Why do you look like that man"? Ethan asked the moment I walked into their home, I just breathe out before sitting downI had just left Rissa's place after waiting for over an hour hoping she'd come outside so I can talk to her but no luck."Where's Ava"? I asked and Ethan just raised his brows and I looked away uninterested, I'm not really in the mood for any funny games"Baby, Tristan is here to see you" he yelled to her in the kitchen and she muttered something"No asking about Tilda huh"? He asked teasingly and I just breathe out.Ava walked out of the kitchen with a towel in her hands "Hey Tris, what's up"? She asked sitting beside her husband, I looked at them and wondered, why can't my own life be as simple and easy as theirs.From the onset it has always been complicated for me"I messed up, I messed it up big time" I whispered out and I see them both look at me with confusion"What do you mean Tris, don't tell me you cheated on her again"? Ethan asked and I jus
Tristan's POV"Baby, she'll come around, she's just hurt, pregnancy can be scary you know" mom said calmlyI just told her about Rissa, at first she was happy and excited until I told her about what I said, she almost smacked my head."Mom she doesn't want to see me, what am I going to do"? I asked sadly "she thinks I don't love her, but I do, with all my heart" I tell her"Honey keep trying and she'll see that you do love her, be like your father, relentless" she says with a smile "if there's one thing your father is good at is being relentless and I see you have that trait, you got her to be yours before, you can do it again Tristan" she tells me putting her hand on mine"But I'm scared mom" I tell her softly"I know baby, you'll be fine, get your woman and your child back" she says with a smile before pecking my cheek "I gotta rest honey, I'm tired" she says getting up and going upstairs.I relax back on the couch with a sigh, she's right, I really should get my woman back I miss
Clarissa's POV"Alex, come out of there right now, don't make me come get you" I yelled out to my 3 year old daughter"No mommy, I want Daddy" she whined out from inside the little tentI grumbled out, why is she so stubborn, I don't remember being this stubborn"Baby, daddy's busy and can't come get you" I tried to reason but she didn't even budgeOn cue, the back door opened and Tristan walked out, even after 3 years together, he still manages to steal the air from meI breathe out "oh thank God, can you please get your daughter to leave this stupid tent, her food is getting cold" I mutter out and he just laughed"Angel, come out, mommy needs you to come eat" he voiced out and I heard her squeal before she ran outside, I rolled my eyes at her as she jumped on her father."Daddy" she squealed out"Angel, your mommy tells me you don't want to eat" he says looking at her and she just pouted"I want you to eat with me daddy" she whined"But you know daddy's busy" he said pushing her hai
Clarissa's POV"Girl come on, it's just a few drinks and we'll be back home before you even know it" Mia whines plopping down close to me, I just give her the side eye"That was what you said three nights ago and I almost had sex with that skinny disgusting guy, because I was so drunk he looked like Chris Hemsworth" I said and she just burst out laughing, I cringed recalling the stupid memory"I'm not going out with you, besides I'm starting my internship tomorrow and I don't wanna go late or go with a hangover" I tell her focusing on the movie I was watching."C'mon Rissa, please, it's just a few drinks and I promise I'll be with ya all the time so you don't get too drunk" she says giving me puppy dog eyes, I groan out because I can't really resist her.Mia is my best friend and roommate, we've been living together since our first year at college, she's an African American with dark long hair, her big brown eyes are always looking so sexy and damn Mia has the body of a goddess, she h
Clarissa's POVWe were already all over each other's face even before the door to what seemed like his penthouse opened up.The kiss was so hot and his lips felt like they would swallow mine at how hard he was kissing, I knew my lips would be fucking swollen and red from all this kissing.His hands was all over my body as he explored it, his hands felt so hard but then they felt so good, we got inside and he started taking off my gown while i took of his jacket.I flung my shoes off as he picked me up and took me inside the bedroom, he laid me down on the bed and I quickly started taking off his top, he took it off completely and bent down to take my nipple in his mouth.Fuck I almost cuss out loud as I gripped his head, I could smell the alcohol in his breath but it made it more fun.He hooked his hands on my panties waist band and took it off, now I was completely naked in front of him, thank God the scars on my body were completely faded and if there was any left he probably won't

Tristan's POV"So you're saying you worked on this all morning, with Jay"? She asked me looking at me with a small smile and I just noddedShe walked towards me close to bed and put her hands around my neck, making me put my arms on her waist"You know, you didn't have to go through all that trouble, besides we had already gone on a date before this" she whispered and I pecked her lips"That doesn't count Red, this is our official first date, I wanted to do something special for you, because you're special to me" I tell her and I see the blush creeping onto her face"Do you know you're so cheesy, I mean I didn't expect an old man like you to be so romantic and cheesy" she said giving me a lopsided grin and I cocked my brows at her"Oh yeah? Old man huh"? I ask and she just chuckles"But I like it, infact I love it Tris, thank you" she whispered out"Anything for you Red" I mutter out before dipping and taking her lips in mine, I pull her closer to me so I can feel her body.Her nipple
Clarissa's POVThe moment I saw him I stopped in my tracks, what is he doing here?Is Tristan okay?The others seem to stop too and all our chattering died down as he looked up and his eyes found mine, he breathe out a sigh of relief before walking towards me.I was already fucking nervous and worried, and his expression wasn't even helping me at all."Rissa" he breath out as he walked towards me "ladies" he greeted the others with a nod before gesturing for me to follow him.I was skeptical, I looked at Elaine, Ava and Maya and they all shrugged for me to go with him with the same confused look on their faces."Hi" I said meekly as soon as we were out of reach for the others."Hey, I came to see you" he said sounding nervous and I was becoming nervous myself "Tristan.... He" he paused and I just lost it, I was already in full panic mode."Is he okay? Did something happen to him"? I threw questions at him and he just breathe out and scratched the back of his head "Talk to me Jay, did
Tristan's POV"It needs to be perfect Jay" I tell him going back to arrange the chairs, I was fucking nervous as it is"Relax Tris, I'm pretty sure this looks perfect" he says with a sigh before plopping down on the chair "besides we've been working on this all morning" he adds.I look at the clock and see that Maya is running late, I was about to point that fact out before the doorbell interrupted meI sigh out before going to open the door and there she stood, before rushing in"I'm sorry I'm late, I had to look for a way to get out of there without her seeing me" she breathe out walking inside, she stopped after seeing Justin."Hi" she whispered and he just smirked at me before giving her a smile, very flirty bastard"Hey there Maya, Right"? He asks and she nods with a blush on her cheek.I groan out "this isn't the time to flirt ladies, we've got work to do" I voice out interrupting their little bubble of flirting, I see Justin glare at me and I just roll my eyes at him."Okay hav
