“What did you say?” Alan asked in a stiff voice.“I said I love you,” She said softly, staring at him.“You can't love me,” He said in a hard tone laced with warning.“What can't I?” She asked, sitting up and trying to cover up her nakedness with a duvet.“Because it will destroy you, don't you get it?” He yelled while she latched her eyes in fear.“Alan we could try, you can attempt” She said in a pleading tone.“I can't do it, when did this all start?, when did you start loving me?” He asked, looking into her eyes.“I don't know how it happened, I just started loving you. I know there is someone good inside you, I loved your cologne, the color of your eyes, the way you talk, and walk, and then I started loving you. Alan, I love you so much, I can't keep it to myself anymore” She said calmly with desperation in her voice.“No you can't, you need to stop loving me” He said, shaking his head and getting off the bed.“It's not possible, you don't stop loving someone just like that” Ash
“Ashley” Alan called out again scanning the living room but didn't see her.He stormed to the direction of her room looking furious and ready to lash out at her. When he got to her room he didn't bother to knock, he pushed the door wide open revealing Ashley who was in a towel and little falls of water were dropping down her hair to her skin, her sexy legs were exposed.Alan gulped his saliva while gaping at her, her body always had an effect on him.“You could have at least knocked” She reprimanded him, flipping her hair lightly to reveal her bare neck.Struggling to concentrate “What did you tell my mother?” He asked furiously, clenching his jaw.Gazing at him in a confused manner “I told her nothing, why are you asking?” She said pouring a moderate amount of cream on her palm and rubbing it from her legs to her thighs revealing so much skin.Following the direction of her hands, he closed his eyes, holding himself “If you said nothing to her then why did she come to my office threa
“Alan I don't want anything from you, I just want to know why you don’t want me to give birth to your child” Ashley replied calmly.“Because I don't want you to, don't you get it?” Alan yelled at her while Ashley bent her head and focused it on her food.“Okay, if you can trust me just a little you would never have asked me if I am after your property because I am not,” Ashley said in a calm tone laced with sadness.Scoffing “You all pretend a lot, there is nothing to trust” He replied, trying to get up.“Where are you going? You barely ate your food” She asked, gesturing to his food.“You should know when to start a conversation” He hissed and left the dining area.“What did I do?” She asked no one in particular.“Good morning” Ashley greeted Alan who hummed in response.“Breakfast is ready, please come and eat,” She said to him, setting the food on the table.“I am late for work,” He said, heading to the door.“Alan, it's very boring sitting at home and doing nothing” She started th
Alan walked into his room after his banter with Ashley, for the first time he felt intimidated by her words. He sat quietly on the bed as he pondered on her words. “I don't love her anymore, why can't I move on?” He asked with a disheveled look. He drowned himself in thought through the night before falling asleep.“She is not up yet?” Alan asked, raising his brows at the empty living room. He walked towards her room to check up on her.Raising his hands to knock, he stopped “No, I should just go. I am not ready for her sermon” He gagged and left for work.Ashley woke, stretching herself “Why do I feel tired even after waking up” She whined, standing up lazily and heading to the bathroom to carry out her usual routine.Ding dong“Hmm, who could that be?” She mumbled, glancing at the direction of the door.“I am coming” She half yelled, strolling to the door to open.“Hey girl” Andrea greeted when Ashley opened the door, Ashley smiled excitedly at her.“Hey Drea, didn't know you woul
“Why am I feeling strange?” Ashley yawned as she lay on her bed falling asleep immediately.Knock knockKnock knock“I have been knocking for a while now, why weren't you talking or opening the door?” Alan asked when he opened the door after he knocked for a while and got no response.Yawning “I just woke up,” She said in a groggy voice rubbing her eyes.“How are you?” He asked, positioning his hands inside the pants of his pocket.“I can't remember being sick. You are ready for work. I will make you breakfast” She said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom.“Here you go,” Ashley said, placing a plate of bacon, egg, and cheese in front of him.“Thank you, sit and join me,” Alan said, tapping the chair beside him.“No, I don't feel like eating anything now, I will sit and watch you eat,” Ashley said, frowning lightly, sitting beside him.“Just a little Ashley, one spoon,” He said, passing a spoon to her. Ashley attempted to eat the food when she felt a surge from her stomach
Slouching slowly on the floor, she rubbed her stomach “What do I do with you?, your father doesn't want you and I don't know what to do either” She mumbled gazing at her stomach.Glancing up “If there is truly a savior up there then now is the time to save me” She muttered fighting back her tears.Pacing to and fro his room “Why do I feel like she is hiding something?”He thought, placing his hand on his jawline.“Let me find out” He mumbled, fetching his phone and placing a call.“Yes Doctor good evening, is my wife sick?” Alan blurted out the moment the call went through.“M..Mr.Anderson, no your wife isn't sick s..she is just under the weather and she will be fine soon” The doctor stuttered.Releasing a breath “Okay I was worried for nothing, I thought she had a serious ailment that she was hiding from me” Alan said rubbing his chin.“Yeah, good night” The doctor replied, clutching his phone tightly.Ashley stood in front of the mirror inside her bathroom as she stared at her reflec
Ashely walked into her room and lay on the bed. She needed to meet the doctor so she would know what she should do and what she was not supposed to do to not harm the baby.“Good morning” She greeted Alan who just nodded his head at her.“I made breakfast, come and eat,” Ashley said softly to him.“Ashley, we need to talk,” Alan said, glancing at her.“But the food will get…” “Ashley right now,” Alan said interrupting her making her move back a bit in fear.“What happened last night?” Alan asked her, his jaw clenching. They were sitting on the living room sofa.“Alan I am sorry I chickened out in the heat of things, I don't know, I wasn't feeling….” She said, bending her head lightly, she didn't know what to say.“You were not feeling me, I don't satisfy you anymore? Or have you found someone who could do it more than me?” He asked her furiously while Ashley stared in shock at him.Holding her tears “A…Alan, what are you saying? I can’t do that to you” She said with a confused face.“
Alan stood in the living room glancing at his wristwatch as he waited for Ashley to come.“Sorry for keeping you waiting” Her tiny voice called out while Alan turned around glancing at her. She wore a satin cocktail dress outfit and a pair of slipper heels, she left her hair cascading down her shoulders with mild makeup on her face to cover her eye bags.Extending his hands to her “Gorgeous as always” He exclaimed softly.“Thank you,” She replied, smiling softly.They headed to the reservation that Alan had booked for them. “This place is beautiful,” Ashley gushed. Alan booked a private diner, rose petals were scattered all over the places, soft music was playing in the background, and everywhere looked beautifully decorated.“Here you go,” Alan said, passing a bunch of rose flowers to her and a gift bag.Raising her brows “Thank you but what's inside the bag?” She asked, collecting them.“See for yourself” He replied, pulling out a seat for her.After settling in her seat, Ashley un
