2021-12-14 07:03:01Marcus stared at Jody in confusion.
How could someone change their mind so suddenly? He understood how spontaneous Jody could be but he couldn’t quite put a finger on why she changed her mind so abruptly. While he was leaving her office few minutes ago, he thought they were really over until she called him back, accepting his offer for them to talk, and eat. He planned to ask her to give him another chance. Another chance to make her happy. He couldn’t live without her anymore, anyway, so he was ready to do all it took to make her take him back. But currently, he was feeling himself get hard just from her words. His dick pushed out of his pants as her nearness snapped awake his hormones. “Marcus?” Jody called, snapping Marcus out of his train of thoughts.“Let’s eat,” Marcus tried again, handing Jody her own plate but she took it from him and placed it

GRACEWhen Connor and I came back from his mother’s place, he was trying so hard to act like everything was alright, and nothing was wrong. But I wished he wouldn’t act that way.I wanted us to talk, to talk about his mother because as much as she wouldn’t stop me from seeing Connor, I wouldn’t want any of his family member to be against us being together, especially someone as important as his mother.She was extremely important to him so her opinion should count too when it came to our union, to an extent. Also, I was trying to understand why Connor had never mentioned anything about my parents’ house to me all these while. I kept thinking about it all the way from Wales to London but couldn’t wrap my head around how strong his reasons could be. Why didn’t he tell me about the house? My parent’s house, the only thing I got from my parent after their death. The same house I had to give up

CONNORI sat on the high stool facing the counter in my favorite bar, listening to You’re My Universe by BTS and Coldplay play softly in the background.Ever since Grace and Laurie left the house, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I understood her anger and resentment and knew that she had every right to be mad at me but I wasn’t expecting her to find out that way. I couldn’t believe even my mother knew about it.Of course she knew about the properties my father acquired before I took over the family’s business but I didn’t know she knew the house at the outskirt of London belonged to Grace. And using that against my relationship with Grace was something I really, really didn’t see coming.“Been a while, Mr. Shelby, what cocktail would you like today?” Bill, my favorite bartender asked, dragging me out of my thoughts. I raised my head to stare him, forcing a warm smi

GRACEThe call ended abruptly before I even had the chance to reply the person. Irritated by the unknown female’s audacity, as well as a pang of jealousy, I redialed the number only to realize it was Connor’s business number. One I didn’t bother to save.Why would another female be calling me with Connor’s number? I wondered, getting up on my feet and absentmindedly grabbing my winter coat.“I only left yesterday and he had the guts to hang out with another female? Let’s not jump into conclusion just yet, Grace, breathe… I said to myself looking down at my friends who were staring at me like I had suddenly lost my mind.“Who was that Grace? What kind of call made you get up like that?” NK asked me sharply, concern written on her face.“Uhmm,” I hesitated, wondering if it was okay to let them know, well dammit! “A female just called me with Connor’s ph

JODY’S POVI should’ve known he would be there. I mean, that fact was pretty obvious. If we were going somewhere to see Marcus, then naturally he would be there, or at least somewhere nearby. So why was I still shocked to see him there?Seeing him there, his shirt half-buttoned and him drifting in and out of consciousness, did a series of things that I didn’t like to my heart.I was supposed to be over him, wasn’t I? Why was I feeling these hard tugs to my heart then?When the woman smiled at Grace and introduced herself, I realised it was just that Grace had jumped to conclusion as I had guessed. I knew Connor loved her too much to do anything that could jeopardise what they had, and everyone except Grace seemed to see that.My legs took me to Marcus’ side, and I didn’t bother fighting them. I used my hands to straighten his head to face up. He opened his eyes slightly and his luscious lips curved a bit. His l

GRACE POVI wanted to ask him if he was feeling well enough for us to get on the road, but with the kind of determination on his face, I knew even if he wasn’t feeling well enough, it still wouldn’t deter him. So I dressed myself and Laurie and we got on our way. To be honest, I was really curious too. Even Laurie was and she kept throwing questions of our destination to Connor who did everything but answer those questions. I remained silent the whole ride, deep in my thoughts.We had gotten far into the journey when familiarities started to spring up. They were minimal at first so I didn’t pay them much attention, but then they became much more glaring that I couldn’t just ignore. Connor was taking us to the home his company stole from me.Was he trying to absolve himself of the accusation of his Mom that day in his home?Well, I was looking forward to seeing how he could possibly explain it. Even if I could excuse him taking the ho

EPILOGUETwo years later...I carried the baby basket I had with me and gave it to Laurie, instructing her to take her sibling with her inside. I would carry the other baby shower things I brought inside myself.Yes, Laurie's sibling. I had another baby a few months ago for the man of my heart.Speaking of which, he came out from the house running towards me. He must've seen Laurie enter. He had been here earlier than us; he had to for his best man duties.Jody and Marcus were getting married!Watching them return together and settle and compromise, choosing the love they shared above all their differences, was so elating.Imagine how I felt when Jody said she'd taken in for Marcus. When she first broke the news, I thought an 'I'm having an abortion' news would follow right after, but it never came. I had expected it because this was Jody. Jody! She had said it herself once that she didn't think she ever wanted to be a mother.

ARIZONA COLLEGE (SEVEN YEARS AGO)GRACEIn silence we studied each other on a bed, evaluating, doubting, and considering by turns, because it was so sudden, so unexpected.We were merely strangers turned drink buddies few hours ago. We didn’t even know our names yet. He only jokingly called me Ms. Budweiser because I said I loved beer more, while I laughed hard and loud, calling him Mr. Chardonnay because he said he only drank wine.But I and my friends made him take beer. It was a way to apologize for bumping into him and ruining his white T-shirt.I was going to get another round of drink while he was heading to the rest room as I could remember it. However due to my crazy hurrying, and the excitement of our finals, I had bumped into him and caused him to spill his drink on himself and at the same time holding me from tripping over.He snaked his firm hand around my waist to keep me steady and our eyes locked.At that instant, t

SEVEN YEARS AGO (Continuation)I woke up at sunrise to feel my bed for the beautiful stranger I had slept with, but all I could feel was only bed. The stranger had disappeared.I batted my eyelids open as morning light washed into my room. I sat up and forced my mind to be alert, half puzzled, half astonished. Has the stranger gone to use the restroom? I wanted to call his name.But it's funny. I didn't even know his bloody name.Someone had given me the best ride I'd had in a while in the middle of last night. And I didn't know his name!I decided to stand from my bed to go search the restroom. "Hello," I said and knocked on the restroom's door.No answer.I opened the door for confirmation. It was possible he was taking a shit and would be too embarrassed to answer me in the middle of it. But the restroom was empty of the dude. My towel on a stand was as neatly folded as I had left it.I shut the restroom's door and headed back for my bed,

JODY“How are you my boyfriend, Marcus?” I asked with subtle irritation laced in my voice, as I took my seat after I was able to gather my equilibrium.I couldn’t believe Marcus would come to where I worked and introduce himself as her boyfriend. What he did made me feel some sort of warmth inside but I caught herself quickly before she fell for his charm again.She still loved him to the point where it hurt so badly, but she has promised herself never to take him back again.Never.Never, ever. And she meant it.She gazed at him evenly as he sat uncomfortably on her visitor’s chair adjacent hers. He was gazing at her as well, but his gaze was saying so much, words she could hear loud and clear even though he didn’t speak out a word. “Jody can we talk?” his expression was serious.“We’re talking right now, aren’t we?”“No,

GRACEI sat in the car clutching my child to my chest a little tighter than normal as hot tears streamed down my eyes. I patted her hair to keep her from seeing me cry.I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. My heart was tearing into tiny shreds and sinking at the same time. My hands trembled, I held on tighter, my chest burned and my head swelled. Connor’s mother’s words were like knives targeted straight into my heart.And if her words were meant to hurt me, she succeeded because they really hurt and what made it worse was my child was sitting right there hearing them.I don’t care if she doesn’t want us, neither do I care about her acceptance of me and my child. The most important thing was me not giving up on my child for any reason. I knew what I was going to go through when I decided to keep her all by myself and I went ahead anyway.I struggled with my child, the both of us wen
