Bryne.I need her to understand that losing our baby wasn't her fault, I need us to go back to being us before the miscarriage. "Thanks Bryne, for every thing, for being my back bone, for being more than a boyfriend, for being so gentle with my heart" she maintains eye contact with me while stroking my face with her thumb."You don't need to thank me for taking care of you, you're my responsibility Lee" I kiss the inside of her palm. "let's go eat""Bryne I- okay, let's go eat" She steps away but I grab her hand and bring her closer. "What do you want Lee" I whisper over her ear and she claims my lips in a slow kiss. I want to go at her pace, I need to go at her pace even though all I want to do is to grab her and make her scream my name multiple times. She looked so sexy in the dress this morning and it took me all the strength I had, to stop myself from responding to what she was unconsciously doing to me, when she kissed me, I almost couldn't control myself again and then she sc
"Hello mom" I say impatiently. My mom always has a way to interrupt us. There's shuffling at the the other side of the line "Hey B, uh can you guys come over for dinner at dad's place, sorry for the late info I totally forgot"No way. "Mom, it's not possible" Bailey hits my side lightly "You can't turn your mom down" she whispers"You're with Bailey?" My mom asks. "Yeah""Great! Please put the phone on speaker" I roll my eyes and put the phone on speaker. I know Bailey can never say no to my mom and my mom knows that too, that's why she wants to talk to Lee. I already made a great dinner for the two of us, but Bailey won't think about that, of course it's my darling mother. I roll my eyes again and Bailey hits my arm."Hey Bailey, I know it's already late but can you guys come over for dinner at my place? I would've done this later but my husband already booked my flight back to Georgia and it's tomorrow" my mom's persuasive voice sounds and I'm sure it has already convinced Baile
"Thanks Cole" Cole pulls me into a hug and I hesitantly put my hand on his back, giving into the hug.I pull away from him and I make my way out of the hall and let the college breeze hit my skin. I'm so going to miss a lot of things when I leave college."Um.. Bailey" Cole scratches the back of his head. "I want to ask if you'll um.. maybe li..like a dinner, maybe coffee with me" he stuttersWell it's two days to my graduation so loosing up a bit for a date won't harm me. As much as I'm very jumbled emotionally, I want to spend my last days in college happy. "Sure" I smile."Great! I'll text you the time and place" he hugs me.Well we've got a hug lover here. I wrap my hands round him. I need this comfort, I'm afraid I might break down soon. I sniff and pull away.I shouldn't be doing this. Not after a breakup with Bryne. "Are you okay Bailey" his forehead creases and I think I see concern on his face
I open my eyes slowly and I'm welcomed to the morning by a throbbing pain I feel at the back of my head. I stare blankly at my surroundings and immediately all my senses awake.I try to rub my head and I realize that my wrist has been tied with a very tight rope. I look around the dimly lit room and I know instantly that I'm not in my room, and now reality hits me that I've been kidnapped. I wince as I try to remember what happened to me yesterday, the memories come hazy. I remember being at Cole's house, and then I..."Ow" I wince as the pain aggravates. I hear a weight shift in front of me and I squint my eyes to see but the poor lighting isn't doing any justice.Whoever is doing this is surely going to get caught. I haven't even hurt anyone recently to think anyone would try to do this to me. My heart starts beating faster, what if I'm kidnapped for sex trafficking or for any of those nasty things I see in movies."You're awake already" An all too familiar voice echos in front of me
The door of the room opens and Bryne walks in holding a tray, my nose picks the sweet smell of pan cakes and my belly rumbles in impatience and hunger. He drops the tray on the table and goes to the door. He inserts the key and turns it to lock before pulling it out and placing it inside the pocket of the dark blue pant he's wearing. For some reason I'm not scared a bit by his actions, I know Bryne like the back of my palm, he can't do anything to hurt me, or so I think.I shriek when I feel his tough hands lift me up and carry me to the bed. The anger I feel is starting to get dissolved by this singular act. This is the reason I don't trust myself around him, one moment I'm acting all furious at him and the next I'm practically melting under his touch. He drops me on the bed and I feel my face starting to squeeze into a frown at the loss of contact but I quickly adjust my facial expression and keep my face neutral."Would you mind if I feed you or you'll eat on your own" his low hu
BAILEYI hop around the room trying to find a knife or a pair of scissors to cut the rope around my ankle."Ouch" this is the third time I'm falling down. I wasn't just made to hop, I'm not in any way related to a frog.I place my hands on the table and help myself up. I hop into the bath room and I open the drawers, rummaging through them for any sharp object. "Phew" I exclaim as I find a small knife. What's a knife doing anyway in the bathroom. I shrug and start cutting the rope. After some minutes of hard work, which I mentally praise myself for, I cut through the rope. It's not like I'm lazy, I'm not just the kind to do any strenuous thing and trust me, cutting through a very thick cotton rope with a near blunt knife isn't an easy thing to do.I turn on the tap and remove my clothes. I might as well take a refreshing bath. I smell my armpit and scrunch my nose. Where was I? In a room with rotten fish. I step into the shower and drown into the warm water. I think I'd start calling
I groan and jump on my bed immediately he leaves the room. I bite my lower lip hard, so hard that it'll soon start bleeding.What the hell did I just do.After all my months of claiming and making all my girlfriends believe I hate him this is what I pull out.His lips-Oh don't get me started subconscious! I dig my fingers into my skin hoping it will dig out some sense. Just one time together and I'm already fumbling so bad, what happened to the emotionally independent Bailey?I cover the sheets over myself and groan again. Just one day with him around me and I'm already sucking his face. I hit the bed furiously and sigh in frustration, anger, whichever. It's just so hard to be mad at him with his body all over my space. There's a gentle knock on the door then the key clicks and the door flings open. Bryne comes in with holding a pile of clothes in his hands. He drops the clothes on the bed without saying a word and leaves the room but not before I catch the sad expression in his eyes
"No. Please no!" I beg and hit the person, the beast on top of me. No, this can't be happening. No matter how much I beg, he doesn't budge, he continues what he's doing, like my voice doesn't even matter. Little by little, my body becomes stiff, I can feel everything that's happening to my body but I can't do anything to stop it, I can't move my body, I just lay on the soft leather seat, motionless, it's like I'm intoxicated, mentally unconscious but conscious to the continuous pumping and humping that's going on inside me.Slowly the person on top of me pulls out from me and for a split second I think all the suffering is over till I feel a deep and painful thrust inside me, making me scream. "No please" my pathetic voice pleads but once again it's as if I'm not heard. I watch helplessly, painfully as he chips away bits of my soul. I don't think I would be the same after this.He picks up a faster pace, thrusting deeper, faster, harder till I feel my insides are being pulled out. I

Immediately I get back to my office, I sit on my chair and remove my shoes. I don't think I can survive another minute in this shoe. I sigh in relief and massage my feet once I take the shoe out. It's been four hours of intensive practice and thank God for the lunch break else I would've died inside that room. I got to watch other journalist do other shows and I was given instructions about how everything is going to happen. Honestly, I can't wait for Friday and from the look of things, Baddie can't wait for Friday either. Baddie really made the whole practice interesting and I already feel so relaxed with him. Baddie says he likes that kind of atmosphere and so do I. Baddie reminds me of Derrick, when everything is settled, I'll take Derrick's lunch offer. Baddie walks into the room smiling. He sighs and slumps into his chair. "Hey we could have lunch together. There's this place at the corner of the street, it's pretty good"."Maybe next time, I really can't walk in this shoes, m
BaileyBryne pulls up at the parking lot of the building. Today is Monday, my first day at work and the excitement isn't as much as I expected it to be.Bryne squeezes my hands and I smile. Bryne has been everything since I lost our child. He has been over caring and I'm just so surprised at how perfect he's holding everything up in this situation. I hope my sour mood isn't going to affect my first day at work, I don't want to give out any first impression of being grumpy. "I know you'll do great" Bryne hands me a jar of cookie and I want to decline but it's my mom's cookie and who dares decline it plus he won't let this slide as I strongly refused to have breakfast. I take a bite and another and another till I'm done with four cookies. Bryne smiles, handing me a bottle of water. "Thanks" I gulp down the water and check my self in the mirror again for the 100th time today. You can't blame me for that, appearance matters as a new employee and a journalist at that. I know my life i
I plop down after wearing my rubber gloves, I dip the floor scrub into the foamy bucket of water and I scrub Bailey's blood stain from the floor of my dad's kitchen.Today is Saturday and I'm happy Kara agreed to keep Bailey company even when she's supposed to go back to college today. I told the housekeeper and the cook not to come here today because I'm sure they would've felt obliged to clean the blood from the kitchen floor which I wouldn't like them to do. My mom told me to pick her up in an hour's time and I hope that I'll be done with this by then. I scrub the floor harder and wipe out the foam to see if all the bloodstain is gone and I repeat the process after seeing some stubborn stains still on the floor. I've not discussed the plans I have for the company with my mom yet even though I'm sure she'll be uninterested in it as usual. Sometimes I wonder if my mom actually loved my dad because shortly after my dad burial, she moved to Georgia to be with Khaka, her boyfriend wh
BRYNEI lead Bailey into her house but she doesn't respond to me. She has been this way since she got conscious and I hope she gets better. I'm so happy she was discharged, I wouldn't stand spending another hour in the hospital. Kara has gone to my dad's house to get all the shopping bags over to Lee's house. I can't keep her at my dad's place, my mom may come home anytime and I cant explain anything to her yet. Bailey goes to her room and I follow her."Lee please talk to me, say something, anything" I can't bear the silence. "I was just so careless, I couldn't-" I wrap my hands round her waist and pull her to me. She can't blame herself for this, she shouldn't take all the guilt to herself. I'm at fault too, I didn't listen to her enough to understand. She sobs quietly and I rub her back. We'll work through this, I know we will. "Why didn't you tell me?" "How could I tell you, I was scared" She sniffs and I tip her head up to look at me."I told you I want to be involved in
BRYNEI pull up at my dad's driveway and Kara immediately gets down. I'm so exhausted from the shopping and I honestly wonder how women do this thing and not get tired.Kara is worse than Bailey when it comes to this, we've basically bought so much that there's almost no space in the car for the bags. I know Bailey will be angry when she sees this but how did she expect me to handle Kara, Kara that literally scares me.I bring out some of the bags and Kara brings out some too. "Wow! So you guys lived here when you were younger" she stares at the building and I laugh."Nah, I spent most of my childhood with my nana, I don't think I've stayed for up to a year in this house, that's why we all call it my dad's house" I struggle to open the door and Kara follows me in. I drop the bags on the couch and go back to get the rest. I pack so much and Kara does the same but the bags doesn't finish. "We'll get the rest later, let's find Bailey to check out these stuff first" Kara rubs her palm
I stare down at the pregnancy strip in horror.I don't know how to feel about this. It's scary! I can't be pregnant, I'm on birth control pills. Could some skipped days cause this? "Fuck" I place my hand on my forehead and shut my eyes tightly together. My whole life was about to start and this? I feel like crying but the tears aren't coming out. On one hand I'm happy about this, Bryne, the father of my child, he shouldn't find it difficult to accept but I don't want to pose anything on him. Both our lives are about to start for me to bring this up now. I'm finally about to start a lovely job and Bryne is about to take over his dad's business and join the elite club and this. I sniff and throw the strip into the bin. I don't know how to tell him about this, I'm not even ready to tell him yet. I hope he isn't awake yet.We'll work through this, that's what he always say whenever something goes an opposite way. We'll work through this.I place my hands on my belly and stare at my r
"How was your week?" Bryne asks"I met Cole-ouch" I scream as a sharp pain passes through my knee."Are you okay" Bryne sits up immediately and I nod."It's just my knee" I relax my knee but Bryne uncovers the blanket and keeps my knee on his laps and starts massaging it gently. "Ouch!" I exclaim as he touches the spot that pains me the most. "Sorry about that, does it hurt here?" He touches another spot and I shake my head in negation. "Have you taken your pain relief?" "I'll take it later""I'll get it for you, where is it?""Over there" I point at the other couch and he goes over and brings it, with a bottle of water as well."Thanks" I swallow the pill and he gets the bottle of water and medicine bottle and keeps on the table.He comes back to the couch bed and continues the massage "I'm just happy you didn't hit your head when you fell from the stairs"."I'm happy too, everything just happened quickly, I was on the third step and then I see myself rolling down and hitting my kn
