The Pleasant Ex
-NATHAN-
Anastasia kept quiet throughout the ride to the restaurant I caught her staring at me once or twice but I decided not to comment on it. I know I feel for her but I don’t know if it is love or just friendship because when I was with Jocelyn it felt different. She was all gifts and dates but with Anastasia I don’t know we brawled with each other on small things but I didn’t find her annoying and damn she is sexy.
I saw her shivering in her towel from the breeze so I slowed down and looked at her. “If you are feeling that cold you should wear your dress.”
“I am just waiting for myself to dry.” Her hair was still wet and sticking to her face making her pale face look bright. “Brr...”
This is what I find a problem with her, she doesn’t like to listen… I told her no dating and that there will be no divorce but she managed to convince me with her big green eyes. “J

-ANASTASIA-As soon as we reached home I went to my room and shut the door. I thought things were getting better at least in that moment but no... Huffing I threw my phone at the bed exactly at the moment it rang. “Hello Tasha.”“Hi mom.” I answered getting into the shower and placing the phone on the stand so that it didn’t get wet. “What’s up?”She was silent for a few more minutes before speaking. “Lilly is sick again.”Oh! This was not good and I knew that. It was now the third time. “Will she make it?”“I don’t know honey. But you should stay there, you have to take care of Helena. Your father is doing his best.”I nodded. “I know. Did Adam get back?” I asked changing the subject. I am already pissed and thinking of my sick horse isn’t going to make it better.“Yes... Natalie is enjoying herself in th
The Inflammable Secret Promotion
-ANASTASIA-I swirled in my chair for the second time before giving Priya a cheerful smile. “What happened that you are so happy today?”I shrugged. “Just had a feeling that today will be good day. And in a few hours I will get to go and pick up Helena from her grandparents. Show me more of your designs.”Priya nodded excitedly and showed me other jewelry designs for her wedding, as far as my research went Indian women wore a lot of jewelry to the wedding and Priya was no different. We were finalizing what looked good on her so that she could send it to her family in India who will get it made.I even picked a silver earring for myself, I think she called it a jhumka. “Didn’t you say you were wearing red then why do you want that necklace?”“Concentrate, Tasha. This one is for my henna ceremony.” Yeah, they apparently have a few pre wedding ceremonies before the actual thing. I
The Inflammable Secret You're Her Mother
-ANASTASIA-Laughing I took another chip from the packet and bit into it. I looked beside me to see Helena gaping at the TV trying to understand what is going on. “You need to be bigger to get it.” I told her before chuckling at another joke Jake from Brooklyn Nine Nine said.It was already 4pm and I got back from work an hour back with Helena. We were well rested and had taken our respective showers after which we are now relaxing in the living room waiting for Nathan to show up. Actually Helena is the one who is waiting I am just watching her.It has been a week and I haven’t still spoken to him about the promotion, in fact the conversation between us was bare minimum. My phone pinged with a message from the realtor that I had found online. There was an affordable flat ready a little away from work. She sent me the pictures to review. I had visited the place, it needed urgent cleaning which I assume now is done from the
The Inflammable Secret I am Done
-ANASTASIA-We went back to the backyard where they were still planning the baptism. “Does anyone want more drinks?” I asked and when they shook their heads I took a seat beside my mother.Even if I didn’t look at him I knew he was staring at me in anger and I think even my mother noticed t, actually everyone could see it. “Is everything okay between you two?” She asked whispering, I simply nodded.“Now that it is decided we also have a surprise for you children.” Michael said standing up. Cecilia took an envelope from her bag and passed it to him which he took and then kissed her cheek. They were still so in love even after these many years.I waited for Michael to say what the surprise was, when I saw Nathan standing up to leave. He shouldn’t go right now and there is literally no excuse for him to make since Helena is already sleeping in her bed. “Nathan where are you going?”
The Inflammable Secret Please Stay
-ANASTASIA-“Please stay...” His words keep ringing in my ears as I bring my hand down. There was so much vulnerability in his voice that right now I didn’t care that he hurt me tonight or that he might ignore me again tomorrow, or even the fact that he will never love me.I helped him move closer to me so that his feet were no longer dangling down the bed. “Give me one good reason to stay, Nathan.”“Hel...” I covered his mouth.“Other than her.” He nipped my finger making me shove him slightly. “Behave yourself buddy.”He leaned into the headboard and sighed. “I don’t know any other reason. I don’t know whether you will stay for me.” He slurred. I wanted to tell him that if he said I will stay but I didn’t want to interrupt the honest drunk Nathan. “But...” ah here it is. “There are so many things you don’t know&
The Inflammable Secret Late
-ANASTASIA-Sunlight! I usually like sunlight but not when it is waking me up from a very comforting sleep. Opening my eyes I tried to turn around but the weight around me held me in my place. What weight? Looking down I saw Nathan’s bare arm around me in a metal grip reminding me of all the events of last night.I really had to pee and his hold was not making it easy for me. Oh shit! Why is there such bright sunlight already? Straining my eyes I read the time on the clock, 10:00am! No… with my free hand I took the phone from the nightstand.5 missed calls from Cain and numerous messages from Mrs. V and Priya as well as Cain. Two missed alarms and the baby monitor was silent as well. Oh god, Helena might be already awake and hungry. With some pressure I turned around, now facing Nathan.The pillows that I had placed as boundary the previous night were now strewn around the bed and one of them was on the floor. Nathan looked s
The Inflammable Secret Threatening Her
-ANASTASIA-Gasping I turned sideways to see Nathan leaning on the side of the wall of my desk with a hand in his pocket. The blazer of his three piece suit hung on his arm and his hair was all messy and ruffled as if he thought over a lot before showing up here.Even though I was hungry I pushed the packet aside and got back to the article I was writing, I am mad at him no matter how hot he looks or how bringing dinner for me is caring. “Are you seriously going to ignore me?”I nodded and typed a few more lines but reading it again I realized it didn’t even make sense, his presence is messing with my brain. I saved the file and looked at him, “What are you doing here?” He pointed at the dinner making me sigh. “You made me work this late and now you are pretending to care... I really don’t get you Nathan.”He pulled Cain’s chair and sat in front of me before folding his suit neatly and
The Inflammable Secret Suspicious Friend
-ANASTASIA-Imagine my surprise to wake up next Nathan once again, this is now the fourth time. I am not complaining but it would be nice if I knew that he was going to be there when I open my eyes in the morning. Today I am not even going to ask him because his answer as usual will be that he likes sleeping with me.One might think he is getting closer to me but throughout the day he just ignores me completely and stays most of the day in his office.“Is it weird that I want to hack into Nathan’s email and messages?” I asked Priya sipping my coffee.She choked on the coffee for a second then looked at Cain who seemed amused by my question. “I won’t call it weird but I do think it is the jealous wife in you.” Cain said with a smirk.“See I knew you would say something like this which is exactly why I asked Priya.” I said putting my tongue out at him. “Also ex-wife. I don’t
