Mary hurried to the door as she heard the voice, and she opened the door. "Amy." She yelled as she pounced on her, squeezing.It was so nice to see a familiar face, and she didn’t know when she burst into tears. Just when she needed her, Amy showed up. Amy hugged her back, squeezing her. She has missed her friend."I didn’t know you missed me so much; I would have come earlier." Amy mused, but she got no reply; instead, Mary sniffed, and Amy stiffened in her hold. "Wait, are you crying?""No," Mary said as she left her embrace, trying to dry her eyes with the back of her palm. Amy was terrible with tears. "Sorry about that; I was just so happy to see you. Come in, please.""Yea yea." Amy scrunched her nose as she entered the room. "Girl, were you working in a sewer because you stink?" She said. Amy could be blunt sometimes, or most of the time, but one should never take her words to heart. Mary was practically immune to it, and she doesn’t get angry, unlike before.Mary looked down at
Amy ended up spending the night with her so she wouldn’t be lonely, but she was out the next morning. She had a job now, and she needed to be there."Thank you." Mary shouted as she waved to the moving car. She had asked Frank to drop Amy off to ease her stress.Nicholas hadn’t come home last night, but he had sent a message asking about Cole’s health and if they needed something.Mary had wanted to scream yes. His presence was what she needed most now, but she swallowed it and continued reading on.He was out of the state for an emergency meeting with some shareholders and wouldn’t be back in three days. And that was it.There was nowhere in the message asking about her health, and Mary felt dejected. She wasn’t going to send any message but decided against it, sending a short message that Cole was fine, and that was it.She tried to brush off Nicholas' indifference in her mind and instead decided to occupy herself with Cole and work.She had been checking out some majors and online
The behavior with Nicholas continued for so long that it became the norm in the mansion. Mary became invincible to him whenever Cole was around, and she carried on like it didn’t hurt her, trying to blend in with the furniture.It was like she was living with a roommate again, only it was worse this time because staying with Amy wasn’t this bad.Mary had tried to excuse his behavior on the basis that he was busy at work and just wanted to come home to relax and didn’t want any disturbance, and she was sure to give him just that.If he needed space, he could as well have it.She had already registered for the fall semester and applied to food science. She was just waiting for the admission letter so she could begin the semester. Then she wouldn’t be utterly useless at home.She should have taken up knitting more seriously while she was still in the convent; at least it would have kept her company. Mary mused as she stared at her ceiling.It was too late for that, but she had taken to b
"How is he doing?" Nicholas asked the doctor. His heart has been pounding behind his ribcage as he waits for them to be through, and that was the longest waiting period of his life.He had never had to wait for anything in his life."Come see for yourself." The doctor said that and opened the curtain to allow him through. Nicholas went straight to where his son was lying, and he took his hands."Dada?" Cole called weakly, and Nicholas nodded as a sigh of relief left him."Yes dada." A smile filled him as Cole gripped his thumb weakly and Nicholas stroked his cheeks. His son was going to be fine after all."So, as you can see, we were able to treat him. But from the looks of it, this is the result of an allergy reaction.""I see." Nicholas mused. He should have thought so, because this was the same symptom they manifested. The swelling of the face, hives on their body, and things like that."Has he taken anything just before this that would have triggered his allergy?""Yea. It should
Nicholas leaned towards his wife, connecting his lips to her, and Mary struggled at first. He was drunk, and drunk Nicholas was a little bit rough.But she couldn’t resist it any longer, and she allowed it, kissing him with everything she had. Their lips melded together like they were meant to, and Mary sighed, loving the feel of his lips on her.She could still taste the alcohol on his lips, and it was making her head spin.She moaned softly as Nicholas held her closer to himself. His hands reached up, placing light touches on her body. Mary’s hands reached up to grab his shoulders; thankfully, the chair was comfortable and wide enough to contain them.They continued kissing, their lips melding into each other even as their hearts did. Mary sighed into the kiss; this was what she wanted. To feel loved, she had never asked for more.Cole stirred from his sleep, and Mary froze like a deer caught in a headlight, but Nicholas was too drunk to continue. He leaned down on her neck and plac
Cameron has been having the time of his life, and he was enjoying it. He had managed to snag a hot chick, although the circumstances were strange.But it had worked in his favor, and he had taken advantage of it. They were meant to be, and that was why everything worked so well for him.He didn’t know about Amy, but he has been enjoying his pretend relationship a lot. It also helped that they were living in the same house.Amy was quite different from his other girlfriends. She was beautiful, hardworking, and fun to be with. And damn, she was a good kisser. He could still remember the feel of her kiss when he kissed her.They were soft and tasted like the berries she had eaten. Everything about her body was soft—her ass, her full breasts. "Fuck." Cameron cursed as he looked down, and he could see the outline of his cock straining from his pants.He needed to relieve himself, or maybe a cold shower. Cold showers were gradually becoming a constant in his life. He had resorted to taking
Helena is here.The words were something Mary thought she would never hear, and it was as if they weren’t true, but her childhood friend turned sister was in the living room, sitting and waiting for her, and Mary didn’t know how to act."Get your act together, Mary; it is just Helena." She said to herself as she stood in front of the mirror.It had all begun when Cameron called her that one Helena was in his home and wanted to see her. She hadn’t believed it at first and thought he was playing a fast one on her, so she had asked him to bring her over.And it turned out he wasn’t lying. Helena was actually heard.But she saw them as they were getting out of the car, and she panicked and ran to her bedroom."It will be fine. It is just Helena." She said to the reflection of the mirror, and she heard Cole huff as if in agreement with her.She went towards her son, who was attempting to stand on his own, and she picked him up. He let out a cry, angry that he was disturbed. But Mary ruffl
While Helena may not be living with them, the girls were still communicating as Helena was able to get a new phone and they had gotten really close.Mary had been the happiest since Amy came back, and she was happy to have her friend close by. Everything seems to be looking up for her.It was just to introduce her friends to each other that was left. Amy had no idea how Helena looked, and neither did Helena. Although Mary has mentioned them to each other, she has been planning how to bring them closer so it would be a sisterhood.It was the weekend, and that means Nicholas was out of town for a meeting. I mean, when is he never out? Mary barely sees him nowadays, so she arranged the meeting at her house.She was preparing the meal that they were going to have, all while praying that they liked each other. It would make her life easier if it were so. At least Cole would have two aunts, and he could be taking turns passing the night at their house.She had put the last batch of muffins
