“It’s why you’re so depressed….”. His words hung deeply between us and I sat there staring at him while tears smoothly streaked down my cheeks. “If you hadn’t been so hung up on the fact that this was an arranged marriage, you would have noticed that I kissed you first, and you didn’t ask me to”. He said to me. He was talking about the first time, I remembered it all clearly but it seemed he didn’t remember it as I did.“Not directly”. I said. “Stop”. He said. He cupped both my cheeks delicately as though he thought I would break if he handled me otherwise. “Stop doing this to yourself”. I blinked and more tears left my eyes, my eyes were getting sore now and my head was beginning to ache but I couldn’t stop myself from crying. If he claimed that he had kissed me without me asking him to then I needed to know why he had kissed me in the first place.“Then why’d you do it? Why’d you kiss me?”. I asked him quietly. He delay a second before answering.“Because you had been irresi
“I was planning on paying Alexa a visit one of these days”. April said to Micheal who had just raised his cup of coffee to his lips. “Would you like to come along?”. They were at the dining table quietly having breakfast and she had decided to bring up the topic, plus, she didn’t like them lapsing into silence, she couldn’t stand the awkwardness. She noticed his hand stilled and his temple creased in the slightest of frowns; she had noticed his mood always took a downward turn whenever Alexa was mentioned, and though a part of her was glad that he wasn’t always running to her when she needed him, she couldn’t help but worry slightly about the whole thing, after all, she knew he had feelings for Alexa and it wasn’t just something he could turn off so easily.“I don’t think so. I have so much to do”. He replied as he set the cup down without taking the sip that had been intended. “Send my best regards to her”. She nodded slowly. He suddenly had so much to do? He no longer had time
It was pretty much getting late when April’s car pulled up right outside the gate of the mansion. She had somehow managed to convince Alexa to spend the day with her, they had gone from eating Chinese food to going shopping and then the spa. “You could do with a good massage”. She had said to her. “And then we can hit the saloon to get our hair and nails done”. There was absolutely nothing wrong with April’s nails and hair, they were literally flawless; just like the perfect blue of her eyes. But then, she didn’t want to make Alexa feel like she was indirectly telling her that she could work on her hair and nails which she was, so she did hers too. As grueling as the entire process had been, Alexa found herself relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Her nails had been done, her hair looked even more vibrant and the dark circles underneath her eyes had faded considerably. She looked better, even she could attest to that, and she found she felt better too. “Thanks for hanging out wit
Calan’s gaze flickered to the door when a subtle knock sounded, he contemplated whether or not to respond, but then, his secretary knocking at the door meant she had something important to tell him. He let out a breath before saying: “Come in”. It wasn’t long before the door opened quietly and the efficient blonde who was his secretary walked in. “Dr. Eastwood is here to see you?”. She told him. After what happened last time, she probably didn’t want to get on Micheal’s bad side. Though he doubted that Micheal would actually insist on seeing him today. “I see”. He said as he leaned back into his seat. “Shall I send him in, sir?”. She asked him. He nodded simply. “Alright sir”. She said. “He’ll be here shortly” “Alright Rita”. And then she was gone. He leaned back into his seat as a heavy breath left him. Soon enough, Micheal walked in looking as regal as a domineering professor; his dark gaze regarded him amiably as he made his way to the regal desk and settled do
She moaned quietly as his fingers hastily slid into her hair to cup the back of her head, her eyes shut themselves as her wanton body arched against him. He had kissed her before, several times since the first time, but the urgency with which he kissed her with now sought to make her lose her mind. His lips continued to work against hers impatiently, it was almost as though he sought to drink her in; to drink in every last breath she had to offer, and she loved it, how could she not when she loved him so much? “What are you doing to me?”. He asked her when their lips broke apart at last. She was breathing heavily now, they both were, and she found it almost hard to speak at all.“Distracting you”. She replied breathlessly. His darkened eyes were intense, so intense that they had her squirming on his lap as wetness begun pooling in between her legs. “Yes, but should you be doing that now?”. He asked her. She was indeed distracting him; her heaving bosom was after all in his face
ALEXA’S POV A few days had passed since Calan and I had had dinner, and we hadn’t been seen mu h of each other mainly because I had been avoiding him. Why? Mainly because I ended up falling harder for him every time I saw him, and it scared me, I felt like I was risking everything; and by everything I meant my life, and more push, one more heartbreak and I’d just quit and let myself go.It was a Monday today and I had decided to resume classes today, I had decided to pull myself together and carry on, I had decided that staying indoors while trying to hide from a person I lived with wouldn’t do me much good. And by 8am I had showered and was dressed and ready to head out, I had just gotten to the stairs when I heard him call my name and my head snapped back to face him at once. He was also dressed and ready for work, and his brow creased slightly as he advanced towards me, I felt my heart beat faster and harder against my chest with every step he took towards me. He had no doubt n
ALEXA’S POV The pair walked up to me quickly, and before i could comprehend what was happening Sasha lunged at me and hugged me tightly, so tightly that I became uncomfortable. I cleared my throat quietly as I subtly tried to get her off me; Rayne noticed and he smirked whilst shaking his head amusedly.“You’re crushing her, Sash”. He said as he reached out and took her arm. “Let go of her”.I was glad he finally pried her off me. Sasha chuckled heartily.“Cut me some slack, dude, I just realized I missed her so much”. She said. Her gaze snapped back to mine and she threw her hands around in a dramatic gesture. “What the hell girl? You’ve been MIA for like…ever”. I brushed my hair from my face as I thought about what to say, where would I begin? How could I even talk about it without bursting into tears and breaking down all over again? They both stood there watching me, and though I knew Rayne wouldn’t probe me to answer if I didn’t, I knew Sasha most definitely would so I said:
“Je voudrais ma boisson tres froide s’il vous plait, merci”. April was saying to a waiter while Micheal absentmindedly tapped away on his screen. it had been three days since Micheal had decided that he needed a break, three days since April had squealed excitedly and told him that she had truly needed the vacation for a long time now. *Flashback*‘I just couldn’t go on a vacation without you”. She had said to him.And he had asked her why of course. He didn’t understand why she would want to go on a vacation but wouldn’t because he didn’t go with her. She had shrugged. ‘I don’t know. I guess it’s the same way I feel going out to eat alone, makes me feel….lonely’. She had told him. And once again he had found himself feeling like shit. He may have been a very busy person but he was certain he could make time to eat out with the woman he had married, he was sure he could conveniently make enough time to go out with her from time to time, yet he hadn’t even attempted. He had cle
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
