“Will you be needing anything else sir?”. Rita asked before leaving. Shaking his head, Calan replied;“No, that will be all for now, thank you”. Rita nodded before turning around and heading out. Left alone again, he tried his possible best to focus on his work and nothing else, he didn’t want to think, didn’t want his mind wandering back to Alexa, to Layla and to everyone else he had let down in the cause of his life. It was a new day after all, however retched the previous day had been wouldn’t affect him today if he didn’t allow it.He narrowed his eyes at the screen of his MacBook when he realized that he was zoning out, that he wasn’t truly paying much attention, that he was thinking about the very people he didn’t want to think about. He let out a breath before she his head and rubbing his temple wearily; he needed to pull himself together, needed to lock out all the bothersome thoughts, all the guilt and shame, he needed to focus. But what if all he needed was to let them
And after a moment of just sitting and crying quietly, Layla decided to pull herself together, she dried her eyes and dragged in a deep breath to calm herself before she spoke again. “Truly Calan, I feel sorry for your wife, the poor thing doesn’t know what she’s gotten herself into”. She said to him. Calan merely shook his head. “We’ve been married for two years, you really think she doesn’t know what she’s gotten into?”. He asked her. And a humorless chuckle left her. “She will, just give her three more years”. She said. “She has no idea just how much you can rip a girl’s heart out, just how much you can render a person useless to themselves”. “Will you ever forgive me?”. He asked her. And she shook her head almost immediately. “I don’t quite think so”. She replied quietly. “You ruined me to the point that being with another man makes me feel weird, to the point that another man’s touch just isn’t satisfying”. Calan averted his gaze from hers. He knew he had hurt her by
Alexa’s POVIt had been a long day; it was bad enough that I had been sad all day, and the fact that classes just had to be more exhausting made it even worse. It was October and the school had been abuzz with the whole Halloween parties and all, and I probably would have been excited to throw my own party if my mood wasn’t so horrible. Not to talk about the fact that everyone kept staring at me while whispering about how good Layla looked with Calan and all, it had bothered me so much that for a moment I had just gone to the restroom and locked myself in a stall, and I had cried, I had let my tears flow freely till everything became numb and blurry, and I had wiped my eyes, washes my face and tried to appear natural.I was certain I would be able to deceive everyone, or at least I was certain no one would care enough to bother me about it, but then came Micheal’s class and we had made eye contact though I had sat at the far end of the lecture hall, it was almost as though he could
“Are you alright ma’am?”. Ralph had asked me as he opened the door for me to go in.I guess it was that obvious that I had been crying, or at least that I had been having a rather shitty day. I pulled on the best smile I could muster and nodded.“I’m fine, thank you”. I replied quietly.I got into the car and sat quietly as he closed the door and hurried back to the driver’s seat. The drive was rather quick since I had shut my eyes and leaned my head against the headrest throughout the drive, it seems I had been almost falling asleep cause I had no idea when the car had stopped or when Ralph had gotten out and opened the door for me.“We’re her, Ma’am”. He said to get my attention. And my eyes fluttered open quickly. I nodded.“Thank you, I must have fallen asleep”. I said quietly.He shook his head and offered me a kind smile, one which I could tell was genuine from the way his eyes warmed up. I tried to return his smile but probably ended up looking as miserable as I felt. I s
Alexa’s POVThe kiss was intense and thorough, but something about was comforting, something in the way his fingers massaged the back of my head made me want to let out a faint sigh of relief, something about the way his other hand wound around my waist securely made me feel….safe; sheltered from all the eyes and whispers, sheltered from everything. He backed away slightly and I thought that was it but his hands suddenly went around me and the next thing I knew he had swept me off my feet and scooped me into his arms, all the while my chest heaved heavily and tears continued to streak down my cheeks. I stared up at his face as he began walking, however, he didn’t meet my gaze, not until I felt myself being lowered gently.“When I’m done with you what people say won’t matter to you anymore”. He said to me. My cheeks heated up at his words as did the pit of my stomach. And once I was lying on the bed he climbed over me and resumed his sweet assault on my lips till I was breathless, t
Third person’s POV “Shall I serve your dinner now?”. Mildred asked as the couple stepped down the stairs talking softly. After showering, Calan had asked her to go to his room while he went downstairs and ask that their dinner was brought up but she had decided to head downstairs nonetheless, after showering and sitting for a few minutes she had regain her energy enough to go downstairs and have dinner, plus she didn’t want him having to go down alone, she suddenly didn’t want to leave his side, even at home.Her cheeks suddenly heated up and she found herself unable to meet the older woman’s gaze. What if it was obvious that she had been thoroughly fucked a few minutes ago? Of course it was obvious, her neck was covered in hickeys after all. She knew they hadn’t really done anything wrong, seeing that they were married and all, but still, it still felt….awkward. “Yes please”. Calan responded. And Mildred smiled almost triumphantly. It seemed as though she had won an accolade,
THIRD PERSON’S POV Alexa lay curled up against Calan breathing softly as she slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber. Calan brushed his fingers through her hair softly and he shut his eyes and breathed in the calming fragrance coming from her. His own eyelids were beginning to get heavy with sleep and he was glad, but then a vibration came from the nightstand as the screen of his phone lit up. He blinked to clear his vision before reaching out and picking the phone up, and he found Micheal’s message displayed on the screen.‘Gent’s Bar??’ He glanced at the time to find that it was just a few minutes past 8pm, and Micheal texting mean he was in serious need of company. He sighed and typed in a reply quickly.‘Sure. Be there shortly’. He set the phone aside and slowly disentangled himself from Alexa; he was just about to climb out of bed when she spoke quietly.“Are you going somewhere?”. She asked him sleepily. He nodded.“Yes, don’t worry about it and go back to sleep”. He to
‘You’d rather talk things out now than leave them for later’. Calan had said to him, yet he had chosen to leave them for later. Micheal had headed home after Calan insisted that he was risking his bloody life by drinking some more when he intended to drive home. And on Arriving, he had found April on the couch he had left her, and she had stood up in an attempt to walk up to him the very second he stepped in but he hadn’t given her a chance; he had simply averted his gaze from hers and walked away quietly. Of course, one would think that he’d attempt to talk things out with her by morning, when his mind was clear and when the sky outside was bright and beautiful, however, he had left without saying a word to her, apparently her accusations hurt him more than he knew. His lectures had been brief but concise today, he had even dismissed the class before the time was up, and he hadn’t even for a second thought to locate the familiar mass of red hair amongst the swarm of students, he
Alexa's POV I had called Sasha before leaving school but she hadn't picked up, and so i had decided to head back home knowing i could always call her or go to her apartment later on. I probably looked downcast as i sat in the living room staring blankly at the tv screen cause Mildred walked up to me looking slightly worried. "Is there a problem, Mildred?". I asked her. And she shook her head. "I was going to ask you the exact same thing". She said to me. "You look rather sad". Lately it was unusual to see me was, i was always happy or at ease since i was mostly with Calan. I wasn't worried about anything except my friends and my exams. I blew out a breath. "I'm fine". I told her. "I just have a thing or two on my mind". She offered me a warm smile. "That's understandable dear". She said to me. "But do talk to someone if something worries you, it's never good to keep it in". I nodded. "Thank you so much". I said to her. She smiled once more before turning around and walking a
Third person POV For some unknown reason, Alexa had woken up the next day feeling completely scared and unprepared for the exams. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she had been feeling too confident about the whole thing yesterday. What if she had been too confident? What if she ended up seeing question she just couldn't answer? She had even been unable to eat her break fast, she had lost her appetite and Calan had noticed. "What's the problem?". He asked her. "I dont know.....". She replied quietly. "I just dont feel prepared for the exams today". He arched a brow slightly. "You went over the whole course handout with Michael yesterday, correct?". He asked her. And she nodded. "And you understood what he taught you?". He asked. Shw nodded once more. "Then that's all that matters". He told her. "You've got this". She cleared her throat quietly. "What....what if i get confused?". She asked him. He shook his head. "Dont think about it now, dont worry about anything". He
Alexa's POv "Why do you look this way?". Calan asked me as he draped his arm around me for a hug which i hadn't known i had needed till now. He placed a lingering kiss on my head before rubbing my back soothingly. "I'm just so tired". I told him. "That's understandable. Did The lectures go well?". He asked me. And i nodded. After my talk with micheal i had felt better, and we had even gone over the last pages. I was all done now and i had never been more confident about writing an exam. "That's good to know*. He said Against my head. "It was worth it". I nodded once more. We were in the parking lot standing leaning against the car almost lazily while the cool evening's breeze blew softly. "I missed you". He told me. And i looked up at him while my cheeks heated up slowly. "I...i missed you too". I told him. "So much". We had spent yesterday indoors in each other's company, he had helped me study and all, and then later on we had lost ourselves in each other's embrace.
Alexa's Point of view How long had it been? Two hours? Three? More? I had lost track during the course of the lesson, and though i was actually understanding Micheal's lectures, i couldn't help but feel really exhausted. I leaned into my seat tiredly and let out a breath as i tried to focus on what he was saying. The fact that i had been sitting in the same spot for more than three hours now didnt help at all, my body felt stiff and almost numb, even my brain was beginning to protest. I hadn't thought he had meant it so much when he had said i wouldnt be leaving till he was convinced i was ready to approach tomorrow's questions. A small groan left me before i could stop myself, and his gaze flickered up to mine. He probably took in the sorry sight i made cause his eyes softened and he also leaned back into his seat. "Tired?". He asked me. And i nodded immediately. He heaved a sigh before rubbing his temple wearily. "Fair enough, we've been on it for some time now". He sa
Alexa's perspective Examinations had started and to say i was stressed out would be an understatement. All the days of skipping school and spacing out in classes where beginning to take their toll on me. I had decided to not leave immediately after i was done with my exam for the day, and so i found myself sitting in the library while trying my very best to go over some of the work Micheal had covered. I groaned almost exasperatedly. I had beenbat this for hours and i still wasn't getting it right, i was beginning to lose my mind now. I was even beginning to think i was losing my mind. The words on the pages were getting all jumbled up and my eyes were getting sore from having stared at the page for so long. I blew out a breath before shaking my head. I would find someone to explain it to me but of course, i had no one. Sasha and Raymond weren't taking the course and so they couldn't help me, and it truly would be embarrassing to me if i failed Micheal's course. My gaze snapped
Third person POV April woke up to the feel of Micheal's fingers combing through her hair tenderly. Her eyes fluttered open and she found him right where he had been before she had fallen asleep, and she took a moment to just stare at him, took a moment to realize that her stomach wasnt killing her anymore. "You're awake". He said to her. She nodded. "You stayed". She said quietly. "Of course". He replied. "Are you feeling better?". "Yeah. Thank you". She replied. He smiled. "That's good to know". He told her. "I was begining to lose my mind". And a faint smile curved her own lips. "I guess we had that in common". She said quietly. He combed his fingers through her hair once more. "Why dont you ever go to the hospital?". He asked her, he was rather serious now. "I hate hospitals". She replied simply. He shook his head. "I do not wish for a next time, but if there is to be one....we're going to the hospital". He told her. She shook her head. "There's no need". She to
Third person's POV How long had it been since she went upstairs? A few hours, and if she wasnt asleep then it was very unlike her to not have come to him. And so, Micheal had decided to go upstairs and check up on her. Of course he had been surprised to see her curled in the middle of the bed looking all disheveled and pained, even the sheets were disheveled. He had hurried to her at once and gathered her into his arms. "Hey". He said as he brushed her hair from her hair softly. "What's wrong?". For a moment he feared she was having an emotional breakdown or something, giving all that had been happening lately. And on seeing the tears streaming down her cheeks, he became even more alarmed. "Cramps". She told him quietly. His eyes widened slightly and he once again brushed her hair from her face. "What can i do to help?". He asked her. A shuddering breath left April and she held onto his arms tightly. She let the fraagrance of sandal wood soothe her. "Hold on to me...".
Third person's POV Cramps.... April had seen the cramps coming, she had known it would be a shitty day ahead. What she hadn't known however was that it would be painful and teary. After breakfast, she had gone up to her room to get some sleep while Micheal had retired to his study to tend to a thing or two. It had started out well, she had managed to numb her thoughts and had even managed to fall asleep. However, she had woken up to the a dull but rather disturbing pain in her stomach. She had assumed it wouldn't get worse, she had assumed it wouldn't intensify and cause her to break down completely. But soon enough she founs herself clutching her stomach while curling herself up in a ball on her bed as tears streaked down her cheeks again and again. It had actually been a while since she had experienced so much pain during her period, it took her back to her days in college. Days in which she'd lie and cry within the walls off her apartment; being a person who didn't have actu
Third person's pov April woke up to the all to familiar feeling of wet warmth pooling in her panties. Her eyes widened as all sleepiness left her. She hastily pushed the cover off her body and climbed out of bed hoping she hadnt made a mess on the sheets.....on Micheal's sheets. The dull light barely penetrating the curtains told her that the sun was just beginning to rise; it meant she had a long day ahead of her, a long day with cramps and moodswings, a long day of being aware of the fact that.....she wasn't pregnant. Micheal's eyes fluttered open slowly on hearing the rustling of silks as April quickly slid on the robe of her night dress. "April? Is there a problem?". He asked her while blinking a couple of times to get rid of the sleepiness. She spun around to face him at once. "I...i need to go to my room". She told him. "Sorry i woke you". He shook his head. "Why are you in such a hurry though?". He asked her. How could she not be in a hurry when she feel the blood no
