“You don’t have to worry about that. I think the best thing for you is to ask him and hear his opinions on family but there will be no way he wouldn’t his baby,” Vivian said.
“I am so scared I don’t know what to do,” Selena said and Vivian reached her hand for hers.
“I am here for you. If he does something funny, we will just teach him a lesson,” she said humorously and her friend started laughing. It was better now; she smiled seeing how she had managed to make Selena loosen up a bit.
“So, did you go the hospital yet?”
“Yes, I went and I will go there again to have a sonogram taken. I can’t wait for that,” Selena said happily.
“Then take me with you when you go. Your husband won’t be going right?”
“I will keep him in the dark for now. When it is time, I will tell him,” Selena answered.
“Just don’t take too lon
He stood up and walked to his fuming brother. Sean placed his hand on Andrew’s shoulder and gave him a light touch.“You should experience what it is like to lose something you really want. For all these years, you took so many things of mine and yet I kept still. You should repay me for all these years, brother.Since father was so generous to give the project to me then I will gladly do it. If you are as good as you portray then prove it to me and we will see who is better. A little completion wouldn’t hurt, don’t you think?” Sean said as he looked at his brother with contempt in his eyes.Because of the way he was raised, he was taught to forgive and forget even though that was difficult. He knew that this was a bluff but this was his moment to shine and get things off his chest one by one.Now he knew what his step dad’s intentions were by making this deal with him. He was trying to settle some old scores and he was
“That’s my baby sis. Now go and take a shower and sleep. I want you to be fresh when morning comes and this stays between the two of us. I wouldn’t want dad to know that you have been drinking. You know he will go crazy over this,” Victor reminded her and she nodded her head.“I will go to bed now, love you Vic and goodnight,” she said as she kissed her brother on the cheeks.“Love you too baby sis,” he said and she kissed her on the cheeks too.She staggered to go to the stairs but he came to her rescue and scooped her up. Victor carried her to her bedroom and left as soon as she entered the bathroom. She was a lucky one, she thought.She had a family that worried about her and comforted her when she was in pain. There were so many people who didn’t have that privilege like her. Maybe she should just be content with what she have and stop crying over spilt milk.&n
Selena kept staring at herself in the mirror; she didn’t know whether this particular dress was appropriate for the occasion. It was Sean’s birthday, he was another year older and she was still eighteen and a bit far from her own. She had been waiting for this day fir weeks and she was glad that the day had finally arrived.“You look gorgeous baby; we should go downstairs. Our guests are already waiting,” Sean said as he wrapped his arms around her.“Do you think so? Isn’t it a bit too long?” she asked worried about the length.‘Its better this way, I wouldn’t want to have a fight with someone gawking at your lovely legs because you are wearing something short,” Sean said and she laughed. How can he have such lewd thoughts for a grown up man like him?“If you say so then I will go out like this. Who came for the party?” she asked as she turned around to face him.“Just a
She took her last bite and sipped her juice and looked at Sean.“I will be right back. I forgot to bring your present,” she said and escaped from her husband.At this rate, he was going to find out what she was hiding all these past few weeks. When she entered her bedroom, she went to the closet and opened her safe where she keeps all her valuable. Inside was her envelop she recently got from the hospital. She smiled as she thought about what was inside, he will definitely like it right?She took her envelope with her downstairs and spotted Sean who was busy talking with Victor. She mustered all her courage and walked towards him with a smile. He noticed her and he gave her a bright smile full of relief.“I was about to send Vivian to go up and collect you,” he said as she stopped right in front of him.“I had to pick your present,” she said as she stretched her hand so that she hands over the envelope to him.
With a smile he watched as Selena was joined by her friend and the two started giggling. Those two were really close and accomplices he could tell.He began to walk towards the dining area when Victor joined him.“Congratulations once again,” Victor said as he patted his shoulder.“Thanks man, I can’t believe that she kept this quiet for so long without even saying a word. I didn’t know that she was capable of doing that,” Sean said still shocked by the revelation.“You will be shocked about what these young kids are capable of nowadays. Did you know that Vivian knew and never said a word?”Sean looked at his friend and laughed.“I guess blood isn’t thicker than water after all,” he said jokingly.“I love it though. It’s rare to find someone who is loyal to the extent of keeping such a huge secret for long,” Victor complimented the relationship the two
Selena moved closely to her and she whispered in her ear for a while. To be honest she was shocked by what she just heard but it wasn’t a bad idea after all.“That is the best idea that you have come up with. I will definitely do it as soon as possible and I will let you know of the outcome,” Vivian promised with a smile.She couldn’t wait to see this plan in effect. She just prayed that it will work.“Just don’t overdo it,” Selena said but it fell onto deaf ears.“I will treat you to pizza if it comes well,” Vivian promised her friend and Selena looked at her.“Are you saying that you won’t treat me to one if it doesn’t work?”“No, it’s not like that; come on girl!” Vivian sulked and Selena laughed at her.She had ways of making her feel at ease with ways she couldn’t imagine but she love Selena the same. She was the world’s gr
“You mean that. I wanted to apologize for her immature behavior, it will just pass. I received a call from mother today and she told me that she is doing fine. Can you believe that she went clubbing out of all things she can do tonight? I wonder what she will be doing there,” Victor said and Edward felt his heart suffocating.It was as if he wasn’t breathing at all. So she went clubbing wearing that small thing? His head was aching; he took a bottle of water and drank half of it.“Isn’t that reckless for a young girl like her?” he asked wanting to hear Victor’s opinion.“I think it’s good. At least she will have some fun and later I will go and pick her up,” Victor replied.“That is good then. It is very scary out there nowadays,” Edward said and his friend nodded.“It is indeed. If you are done let’s go,” Victor said as he stood up.“Sure, let me
She watched as her classmate left and on the other side watched as the love of her life walked towards her. She was really going to spoil Selena for coming up with such a crazy plan and above all her brother for playing along.She took her bottle of alcohol and lifted it to her mouth but before she could even put it on her mouth the bottle got snatched away from her hand. She smiled inwardly but gave Edward a crazy look for doing what he just did.“Stop acting like my big brother and just leave me alone!” she yelled at him.To be honest she was happy and angry at the same time. Why did he keep on making her heart flutter like this all the time if he wasn’t able to man up and just be with her?If he was into someone else why did he have to come here and make her have some more hope?“We are leaving now!” he said with a dominating tone.That was the first time she heard him using such a tone. He sounded so manly a
