Chapter 38 – PSYCHOLOGY BEFORE BED
Last Updated:
2021-11-18 08:00:48Lauren gently closes the door and leans her head on it. Loretta watches her from the dining table.
"What was that all about?" Loretta asks.
"What was it all about?"
"The wasting time at the door, you could have helped push him out, or maybe call me to help."
"Shut up Loretta." She takes her head off the door and walks to the sofa.
"You don't get it."
"Uh but your wrong Lauren, I do get it, you still love him, don't you?"
"Well, it's just part of me still wants him, and the other part's scared of getting myself hurt all over again."
"Well I know for sure, goodbye's the hardest word to say to someone you love, but if that person's meant to be part of your life, they're gonna come crawling back somehow."
"Yeah, your probably right, I feel a lot better."
So.. he couldn't have gone far. Don't we need to give him a warning note like a "Never coke back when you find out the baby's yours" kind of warning note?"

"Yeah, it could come in handy.""Come in handy for what.""Maybe if they're any other men like Matt, we could use it on.""Loretta, what...nope I'm not keeping that dagger in my apartment.""First of all Lauren, it's not a dagger and second of all, if you don't want to keep it, I can take it and it'll be mine.""It looks like a dagger to me, and I wouldn't advise you to take it.""Well sorry, it's taken already. You are going to have to try another way to convince me.""Yeah,

"Loretta, don't go saying stuff like that."What, do you mean the truth? I shouldn't say the truth about pregnancy changing your body. "Well, maybe censor it a bit."Look at you telling me to censor my words. I remember telling you to do that hours ago.""Yeah, you did, didn't you?" Lauren says, yawning loudly."Ok, sleepyhead, I'm done braiding your hair."Yeah, I'm tired. Today was something else."Ok, time to get you tucked in, my precious." Lauren yawned again and lay down while Loretta raised the covers over her.

She thought a lot, and her mind was so full that she didn't know when she fell asleep, next thing she's waking up to the sunrise again, and to the sweet and delicious smell of something cooking in the kitchen.She turned and stretched, then she faced the window again. She wanted to stay like this for a while, but she also wanted to find out what was cooking, and she also didn't want Lauren to come into the room and tell her that breakfast was ready.She didn't wake up to Lauren beside her, but according to the foodstuffs in the house, this smelled way too good. What was it?She heard humming, it got louder and stopped, got louder and stopped, louder and stopped, Lauren was probably walking aroun

Loretta paused for a while, probably waiting for Lauren to speak. A statement like that has two different meanings; either it's good, or it's bad. And right now, Loretta wasn't sure she was ready for any bad news and seeing Lauren's face clearly told her that this wasn't going to be good news at all."Loretta! Are you doing it again? ""Doing what again?""You're doing the thing where you get lost in your head, you know, zone out completely.""I don't like your facial expression.""Loretta I just had to bring you from your thoughts, I told you something and you just kept mute, and soon I was talking and you weren't responding."

"Four thirty?" Loretta asks, puzzled "Isn't that a really weird time for a plane to take off?""I know its weird, but that's when it does take off.""So how many hours do I have left?""Shortly five hours.""Ok, I think that's enough time for me to pack my things and organize myself. Sadly but luckily, I didn't go shopping, so I still have light weight.If I start now, I can pick everything that's mine."Where's that knife?""Loretta, don't tell me your trying to...""Answer a simple question would ya.""Fine, its near the sink. What are you doing to do with it?""I dunno, what else, I'm going to take it.""Take it? Why?" Lauren asks with a really confused look on her face.Loretta left the dining table, and started off to the kitchen,

At the airport, Loretta was not in a communicating or smiling mood. Anyone that walked past her was sure going to wonder what the hell was wrong with this lady's face.Four-thirty, and she was on a plane, seated, waiting for it to take off. Luckily, she passed the checkpoint without the knife being detected. She told Lauren she would hide it well. Besides, who's bothered about a knife when there are other contrabands to worry about? Besides, she didn't look like someone who would smuggle anything into a plane.She sat as quiet as ever, wondering how Lauren would react to her note. She knows she didn't make a wrong move, and leaving a note was way better than sneaking out without telling her. Well actually, she didn't sneak out, she left like she was told to. No one said she was supposed to wake Lauren up before she left.She stayed in the plane seat, wishing she had some kind of entertainment, maybe a book or a magazine. It was extremely boring to sit and wait f

"Attention everyone on this plane," the speaker screeched again. "We have an hour left to land at New York's airport. Please remain in your seats to avoid bad situations from the turbulence."Loretta looked at her wristwatch and sighed, "An hour? "It's more like less than an hour," she reasoned.She drifted into her thoughts again. She didn't know how that always happened, but she didn't mind it, as long as it kept her sane and busy.It was the same way Alex found her. She wondered if anyone would come to sit with her and keep her company.Of course, sir freak has already attempted this. The thing is, whenever she desperately prayed for company, she always got company."Hi, excuse me," someone said, calling Loretta out of her thoughts."Oh, hi again," Loretta says, "Nadine, right?""Yeah, thanks for remembering my name," Nadine says, sitting next to her. "Oh sorry, I was supposed to ask first before sitting. I'll stand u

"What heights can you go for the one you love?" These words went through her head as she listened to the goodbye message Nadine's best friend made for her.Nadine heard Loretta say it, but it didn't sound right in her ears. She wondered if she was OK."Lady Loretta! Hello, Loretta! "She tried getting her attention, but calling her didn't seem to be working, so she waved her hands in front of her.Loretta blinks and takes the headphones off."Are you OK, Loretta?""Yeah, I'm good. Why would you think something is wrong?""Nothing, it's just you muttered a few words.""I did? What did I say? " Loretta asks, confused."I think it had something to do with 'What heights would you go for' — um, what was it again? I don't exactly remember the last part. ""Oh! What heights would you go to for the one you love? ""Yeah, that was it."Wow, I muttered that? It must have slipped out while I was

I'm going to take Loretta into the gaming room right now. Are you planning to attend? Alex inquires."Yeah, I'll be there in a sec. Allow me to finish emailing this to my employer, Diego,""All OK, see you then."Loretta's favorite room in Alex's huge mansion was undoubtedly the gaming room, which she had discovered recently. They used it to play a variety of entertaining games. They most likely did it on a regular basis. Loretta had no idea, but they had been going in there every Friday night since she had started working there and having Olivia spin and fall on whatever game was on the game board to select what they were playing to determine what they were playing. They were now playing checkers, and Olivia had a good chance of winning. She appeared to be an adult trapped in the body of a four-year-old.Loretta wasn't actually on the winning side, and this was most likely due to the fact that she was preoccupied. She was glancing across the room a
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 119 – Some Kind of Reunion
"Loretta! Loretta!" yells the crowd. Lauren's voice may be heard in her dreams or her mind's ears. Was she in a coma once more? Was this something that was going to happen again? Lauren's speech was becoming clearer, so it didn't appear like she was in a coma; rather, it appeared that she was in a dream that she was now waking up from. "Loretta, get the heck out of bed."Her eyes pop up, and the first thing she notices is Lauren's face, which is near to her. Lauren doesn't hear her murmur a few words that she says."Can you tell me what that was? "Sorry, I didn't hear you.She expresses herself more firmly today."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." She gets to her feet and assists Loretta in getting to her feet."Can you tell me what happened?" Loretta inquires."You had a fainting spell, which was strange. Since then, I've been attempting to jolt you awake.We encountered Stenz in a dream, and I'm not sure what occurred, but I'm sorry I'm
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 118 – UNEXPECTED VISIT
"Who the heck is that?" "If you don't mind, I'd be happy to do it once again." When she answers the door, she is greeted by the one person she did not expect; Lauren."Lauren? What... and why? "What the heck is going on?!"Lauren hugged her tightly, and you could tell it was particularly tight due to her pregnant belly.Laura, don't squeeze yourself so tightly, you're going to burst.""Come on, Loretta. You can do it." "I'm very sure that's not how it works; everything is working wonderfully.""What are you doing here, Lauren? What are you doing?" You've arrived at my friggin front door. I feel like I've been paid a surprise visit."I'm aware that I'm at your door, Loretta, and I was wondering if you would mind letting me in? The travel was lengthy, and I know you're aware that I'm expecting a child."Why didn't you simply take a plane or something?" says the other."Pregnant.""Who says pregnant ladies can't fly by plan
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 117 – "MATT?"
Lauren was dealing with Matt during the first week of December, but she was also thinking about a lot of other things at the time. It didn't appear to be much of an issue at first, but it turned out to be. When Matt returned, the first week of December had been a complete and utter disaster. She had just completed tidying up her flat in preparation for Lorenzo's arrival for supper at her residence. It had taken her hours, but she had finally completed her task. After then, someone outside pressed the buzzer.Loretta not only had a good doorbell, but she also had a good buzzer to go with it. It represented the word "home" for her. She assumed it was Lorenzo, but he had arrived far too soon for the time they had agreed on. It didn't matter whatever way she opened it; to her dismay, it turned out to be Matt.She closes her eyes, perhaps out of shock, but perhaps not out of shock. "Get out of here.""Lauren, come on, let yourself be seen. "Let's speak about it."
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 116 – KENDALL
The knocks were soft on the door. Loretta thought it couldn't have been one of the nurses coming to check up on her because they'd knock once and come right in. Loretta's first guess was Kendrick, so she tries standing up to go check. She reached out for her crutches next to her when her mother said not to."Don't worry, stay where you are. I'll go see who's at the door.""Mom, it's my hospital room. I can get the door myself.""Yeah, strong head, when you don't have a broken leg, you can get your doors yourself. She walks over to the door, muttering, "I leave you to live on your own, and soon you will have an accident and land yourself in a hospital with a broken bone." This was why Loretta would never mention that she had just woken up from a two-week coma.She opens the door while Loretta tries leaning forward to see who's at the door. "Who is it, Mom?"Oh, it's just a nurse that just told me hi, a really attractive nurse.""Let him in, M
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 115 – CHOCOLATE AND MOM
Sixteen hours had passed, and Kendrick still hadn't shown up. Loretta had to force herself to believe that Kendrick was OK, and he was either still asleep, which was very unusual but also expected since he was a zombie because he wasn't sleeping, or he was probably at home doing whatever. She was sleeping now. She had a big day in the morning. She had told her mother about her accident. She called her on Kendrick's phone, not because she wanted to, but because she had to. Now her mother would be in the hospital with her in the morning. Like every other mother, Loretta, too, didn't like to be late. Okay, not every mother, just a reasonable number of mothers, liked to be punctual. Loretta ate punctuality for breakfast, so she would be there pretty early. Sadly, punctuality eating wasn't passed down to Loretta, and no one else besides her, because she was the only child. Nurse Beatrice was a really good help, but sadly, she was a human being and she took
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 114 – SWEET BEATRICE
True Loretta had just told Kendrick that she was the said universe stopping their relationship, but she left out the most important part, the part where she doubted herself and she wanted not to let go, but as she'd been telling everyone to let go, no one told her to let go.To think of it, there wasn't much to let go of, except the fact that she felt no one could ever love her forever. It was actually in her past when her college boyfriend broke up with her for a really stupid reason. She couldn't believe it. While she was busy loving him, he was busy thinking of ways to leave her.Why would you break up with a reliable human being for some chick that said she would buy him the latest sports car? That was dumb and stupid, and Loretta felt every guy was just the same, dumb and stupid, and the last couple of years she's been asked out by that gender, they prove her right.Except for Kendrick, he somehow succeeded in proving her wrong, and now here she was with hi
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 113 – ANOTHER LIGHT
Loretta was sort of happy that Nadine didn't see her in her terrible state, but also sort of wished she had because she could have told her exactly how she was without withholding. She would want to withhold, but Loretta would tell her not to, and she wouldn't hesitate to not withhold."Doc wouldn't let her, something about may not be able to stand seeing you. I think he needed just positive energy, which I found out she was the one with the most positive energy. For someone her age, she took it pretty well. ""What did she say? Did she say anything? ""She did say something. She said she'd talk to you when you woke up. That was pretty nice to hear, especially since I and Sebastian were freaking out. Mostly me anyway. Sebastian was too busy telling me to get your parents, but I told him I didn't know how to because I hadn't met your parents, and he was sort of disappointed that I didn't. He was pissed."Kendrick, how did you find me?" Loretta asks, and sh
The Billionaire's Heartbeat Chapter 112 – She's Real
Kendrick must have thought it was all a dream because it felt like it was, because jumping awake to Loretta saying his name, surprisingly loud, felt like he was dreaming. I mean, what are the odds that he would just close his eyes after his grand speech, and wake up to Loretta staring him in the eye?He reached out and touched her eyelids. She flinches. You can't blame him. He'd hardly slept in more than a week. For all he knew, she wasn't real.She calls his name again, but this time in a slow whisper, like she didn't believe he was there for real. "I remembered your name, Kendrick. I remembered." She reaches out for him and stops.Normally, in situations like this, all you could think of is calling a nurse in, or even calling a doctor directly, but Kendrick was stuck. He was confused and didn't understand what Loretta meant by remembering his name. He was brought out of his current confused state and placed into another. When her HRM started acti
