Ram Boneh as Johnathan Rabinovich

~Johnathan~

Present February 11th, 2036

Johnathan and I are talking on the phone. I laugh as he complains about the food in the hospital. So today, I am going to his workplace during his lunch break. And I'll surprise him and Abdullah with my homemade lunch. I park on the street and walk into the building. Abdullah and Johnathan both work at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Abdullah is a doctor, and Johnathan is the head counselor. I have never been on the premises before; I hope that they weren’t busy. 

I ask the receptionist about Abdullah’s office, and she tells me that it is the first door on the left. I'm surprised that it's that easy. While walking down the hall, I start seeing a few patients and staff. Some will wave. Others will merely ignore me and go on with their day.

Seriously, how come no one is asking me questions?

As I approach Abdullah's office, I slightly panic. What if they don't want me to come? What if I interrupt something vital that they are doing? Should I even be here, or should I turn around while I have the chance?

Before I even have the chance to turn around, Abdullah walks out of his office and sees me.

"Christine, how are you?" Abdullah asks in excitement. He smiles and hugs me.

"I’m good. I just wanted to give you and Johnathan and my homemade lunch and catch up with you guys," I explain while showing the lunch boxes 

Abdullah lets go of me and grins, "I was going to get Johnathan. Why don’t you stay in my office while I go get him?" I nod my head, he then opens his office door, and I enter.

Wow. That’s all I could say right now. Abdullah's office is so big and modern. Yet, it is elegant with a long mahogany desk with a matching coffee table and trophy case. I start walking around and inspect the different souvenirs from places like Mexico, Japan, Zimbabwe, and more. I stop in front of a framed selfie. The picture depicts a younger Abdullah and Johnathan in front of an abandoned building with their faces beaming in joy.

The sound of the door opening was the only thing I could process before John’s embrace attacked me. He then went about how he missed me (even though we saw each other yesterday).

"Christine! What are you doing here? How are Nathanial and Vittorio doing? Do you want anything? Is there any bad news? Tell me about your works right now!" I chuckle as John keeps asking me questions about me. I wait until his grasp loosened and sit down.

"Well, I’m here because I wanted to give you some of my homemade food. Vittorio is fine. Nathanial is at the daycare. I want to catch up with you, and I have almost completed my new book." I stand up to give them my homemade jollof rice. A sense of pride washes over me as their faces beam when they see the rice. Everyone loves my homemade jollof rice. The ingredient that puts it all together is a hint of paprika.

When they are eating, I start remembering what happened around two years ago while I was pregnant.

"Also, I want to thank you guys," I say. They look at me confused before I continue.

"I remembered when I asked you guys if I could stay in your place when Stan and I were fighting. Even though I came out of nowhere, you guys treated me so kindly, gave me food, and helped me when I needed you most.

If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have been able to put myself together. If it weren’t for you guys, I would’ve been scared and alone during my pregnancy. You guys have done so much for me, and I appreciate it," Abdullah and Johnathan put away their food and got up to give me a huge hug.

I hug them back just as hard while whispering a small thanks in both of their ears. When they continue to finish their lunch, Abdullah’s watch started to beep, letting me know that their lunch break was over.

Giving them a final goodbye, I walk out of their workplace and get in my car. I can’t believe it has been two years. I look out of the window and see a pregnant woman holding her partner’s hand while they were talking.

It reminds me of me and Stan. Sometimes, I think that if he was still lying to me, would I have stayed with him? It is a scary thought. But I know that I have my best friend by my side. Knowing that Johnathan and I are still best friends put a smile on my face. 

Because he is my rock. He is my childhood friend. But most of all, he is...

Past- 23rd July 2032 (N.S.F.W) 

The thud of the door echoes behind us as Stan pushed me against the wall. My breath is taken away as Stan devours me in a deep, sensual kiss.

His tongue starts to slowly trace my lips, begging me entrance, which I allow him. Almost immediately, his tongue begins to explore every area of my mouth. He was making me feel weak on my knees, a feeling that I have never felt before.

But we had to break the kiss because of how we needed the oxygen in our lungs. My face flushes as a line of saliva is shared between us.

"What are you doing to me, Christine?" My moans intensify as his voice sounds so desperate for answers and thick with desire. His lips shift down to my neck, where he proceeds to leave marks on my body.

He starts to unzip my dress and his big hands down my back. I feel his hands down towards my hips. But I wanted to continue in my bedroom.

"W-wait," I didn’t want to continue like this. I wanted this to stay in my room. He immediately stops and looks at me with worry in his eyes. I smile at how much he was willing to see if I was okay.

"Is there something wrong, Christine? Do you want me to stop?" Even though his voice was deep with lust, it also held sincere concern. He lifts his hands to my face to inspect it, careful to see if there is something different.

Even though there was nothing wrong, I still couldn’t stop looking into his brown eyes. I hold onto his wrist and turn my head slightly to kiss the palm of his hand.

"This doesn’t feel right. I want to continue this in my bedroom," Stan chuckled and rested his head. 

"Where is your room, Christine?" Stan’s breath on my neck made me shiver in delight. He slides his hands and held my hips and started to cover my neck with soft kisses.

"It-t’s, d-down the hal-ll. S-sec-cond d-door on t-the l-left."

I squeal as Stan grip the back of my legs to lift me. I immediately wrap my legs tightly around him like a koala as he takes us to my room.

As soon as he enters my room, he sits on my bed, and immediately we began to kiss passionately. I desperately take off his blazer, wanting to see him naked, craving to feel his skin against mine.

Stan is just as desperate as me because of how he tried to slide my dress down and unclip my bra.

Sooner or later, we’re both completely bare. My hands start to trail down Stan's muscular chest and begin to feel Stan's half-erect boner as he starts to gropes my rump. It feels so big in my hand, and I blush at the thought of it being inside of me.

But first I want to try and give him some pleasure.

"Can I try something with you, Stan?" He stops, and I can see his eyes dilated. He nods his head in consent, willing to trust me with what I wanted to do.

I get off of his lap and get on my knees on the floor in front of him. There, I can finally be able to see what his penis look like, and I almost drool at sight.

It was about 28 centimetres long, and it was thick. The head is red and dripping with pre-cum.

I start to lick the pre-cum off. The groan that comes from Stan made me look up at him; I saw his flushed face. Then I began to slowly suck on his head and roll my tongue around it.

"D-dio m-mi-io. A-altro, il Mio a-ang-gelo al-l c-cioccol-lato!" The way his voice deepened when he spoke his mother language made me shiver. I wanted to hear more, so I slowly slide more inside my mouth.

His hand grips my hair, which encouraged me to swallow even more. As soon as my nose touched his naval, I took deep breaths. I then proceeded to go up and down his arousal.

He soon started to thrust into my mouth, trying to go deeper. The room was filled with the moans and groans from Stan and my slurping, trying not to gag.

His hand started to pull my head away from the phallus, and I look at him, confused. His face is flustered, and he is trying to catch his breath before he starts to speak.

"I don’t want to release yet. I want to be inside you when I do," I nod my head in understanding and release his dick with a wet pop. 

I get off of my knees and sit down on his lap. He looks into my eyes, and we stare into each other eyes.

I slowly lifted myself, not breaking eye contact with Stan. I reach down and position the head of his erection underneath my entrance. 

Without warning, I push the entire length inside me. We both moan as the intrusion stretches me. My eyes begin to water due to the pain. 

Stan wipes the tears off my face and starts to whisper sweet nothing in my ears. I try to adjust myself before I slowly lift myself up and down. Stan then starts to sync up with my thrusts. Soon the pain begins to turn into pleasure, and fast I want more. 

"Stan, I want more," Stan stops then flips us around with him still inside me, so now I was lying on the bed, and Stan is on top of me. He suddenly grabbed my hips and started to thrust faster and harder inside me. 

My moans become louder as my eyes roll to the back of my head. I grab onto his hair tightly with one hand and hook onto his back with the other as he continues to pound inside me. Stan pushes my knees up to my chest as he starts to change the angle of his thrusts. 

He starts to hit something within me, and it makes me gasp in delight. I begin to arch my back, wanting him to go in deeper. Suddenly there was a pool of heat growing inside of me while Stan’s thrusts start to become sloppy and out of rhythm.

"Christine, I’m going to cum," 

"M-me t-too," I grip onto him harder as I clench around his thick member. 

Stan starts to grit his teeth as he roars in a release. I moan when I feel the warm liquid inside of me. 

The room was filled with our breathing as we came down from our high. We leaned our foreheads together, and all of a sudden, I start to chuckle. 

Stan starts to break a smile before be too, is laughing with me. We just kept laughing about how we ended up in this situation. 

"Christine, I have never felt like this before with anyone. We've only known each other for two days, and I already feel like I've met you forever," Stan whispered. 

Even though I didn't say anything, the look in his eyes told me that he knew I felt the same way. I just hoped that this was going in the right direction.

"Hello, Christine, how are you doing?" I smile as I physically relax. For some reason, Abdullah always makes me feel at ease. "I'm doing fine, thank you. Um, where is Johnathan, exactly?" "Oh, John is sleeping at the moment. Yesterday was a bit hectic. Anyways, come in. I was making tea." I nod my head and walk inside. I immediately take off my shoes and follow Abdullah into the living room. He goes i

    Past- 20thAugust 2032I was sitting in the chapel of my church, distantly watching the pastor speak. Words flowing through one ear are being spat by the other. Usually, I would be listening to my pastor's sermon. However, I have been feeling nauseous for a while. I mean, it has been going away, which is good. But I have been gaining weight. I'm not one to watch my diet, but out of all the times for my stomach to look more bloated, it is when I am in a relationship.Stan and I have been going quite steady. We always see each other whenever we have time. And each time, we are drawn closer than ever before. I'm kind of afraid as to how fast our relationship is moving. But I can't help it. Being with him feels so natural. We don't always have to have a conversation, but when we do, we never stop. We never have to act like different types of people.I have no idea why I feel like this. But honestly, I don't want it to stop.

    Past- 19th September 2032 I woke up feeling more tired than I did before I went to sleep. It has been twenty-nine days, five hours, and twenty minutes since I found out that I was pregnant. I haven't even told Stan, John, Calvin, or Jessica yet. The guilt, as well as the bump, has been growing with every day going by. The bump doesn't show until the second trimester, but I can still see every change in my body. How can I be a mother when I cannot even keep myself in check? I have always wanted children. And I know that I'm completely prepared to have them. I have enough money to raise my child and I love taking care of another child. But I only want them with my future husband once I settle down. What about Stan? We've never had the discussion about him wanting children or not. I didn't even have the chance to ask about settling down. Does he even want to get married? Or is it that he would rather be with someone that isn't me. I sin

    Past- September 30th, 2032 It has been ten days since I told Stan about our unborn child. And for a man who doesn't want kids, he's bearing the responsibility very well. I do have my doubts. But he is quick to reassure me when I need it. However, I did not tell the people closest to me about my pregnancy yet. And they deserve to know, especially Calvin. I tell him everything. So, he'll be the first person to know about this child. The fall season is settling in quite nicely. The once green leaves are transforming into an array of reds, yellows, and oranges. The crisp, cool air feels so nice with every breath I take. I am sitting on a park bench watching people live their lives. My tranquility doesn't last long when somebody's hands cover my face. I smile as I hear the familiar voice. "How are you doing, Christine?" Calvin asks behind me. He moves his hands and sits beside me with a goofy smile.

    Past- 5th November 2032 "Faith. Faith is the complete devotion or trust in something or someone. As children of God, we must be able to give our faith to the Lord," I listened to the pastor's words in concentration. In the corner of my eye, I noticed that Calvin wasn't as focused. "In Acts 4:12(NIV) it states 'Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.' We cannot be able to find redemption by any other means except through the Lord Jesus Christ. By giving our all to the Lord, we shall continue to experience his everlasting love. And all of the sins that we have committed shallbe removed. Let us pray," I quickly bowed my head and closed my eyes as the pastor began to pray. "𝔒𝔥, 𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔳𝔢𝔫𝔩𝔶 𝔣𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔢𝔯.

This side of Abdullah is different from the one that I'm used to. John sees me act sad and pats my shoulder. He then lets out a little chuckle. I glare at him with squinted eyes. I don't know what's so funny to him."Don't be so glum, Christine. When it comes to cooking in Thanksgiving, Abdullah loves his space," I nod at Johnathan's explanation. but it doesn't help the guilt within me.Today marks the twentieth day since I asked for a place to stay.

    Present- July 23rd, 2037 Today is the day. I am finally going to get married to Vittorio. It feels like yesterday when he proposed to me. The woman in the mirror is gorgeous in the dress that Jessica, Johnathan, and I chose. Today is also the fourth anniversary of our very first date. "Mommy!" I turn around to the sound of my little boy. I see Nathanial run up to me. He is in his cute little periwinkle tuxedo. Getting down on a crouch, I scoop him in my arms and kiss his cheeks. His giggles made me so happy. Calvin walks inside the tent with a hint of a smile. "Ready for your big day, Christine?" I scoff as I let Nathanial walk to him. "You know that I ain't. I am still scared, but the whole point of love is to venture off into the unknown as a team." Calvin chuckles at my cheesy reply. "Well, as long as you are happy, then I am happy," I can't stop grinning from ear to ear. Calvin and I have had our ups and downs. But, I'm so glad that he could make it. "I'll see you later, C

    Present- 5th May, 2035 I'm not excited to be here. At all. I try not to think about the impending war that will come from my relatives. However, it is not possible. My parents have paid for Vittorio's, Nathanial's, and my arrival to the States. They really want us to celebrate Calvin's birthday and have invited our extended family. This includes cousins, nephews, nieces, second cousins, and more. I haven't been back to the States since I left for Canada with John. And since then, I have never looked back. But so much has happened in my life, and Nathanial needs to know about this part of his heritage. When it comes to African cultures, including Ethiopian, family matters; the older you are in the family, the more respect you earn. Family is a part of the holy African trinity. They are education, faith, and family. Being with your family is a part of your identity. And you have to be there for them. Your ancestors brought you to this world. So it's understandable that the younge

    Present- August 24th, 2034 It is the start of the weekend, and Vittorio and I are supposed to be taking Nathanial to the local pool. Our baby boy is already more than a year old, and he loves his baths. So we think that letting him learn how to swim will be a good idea. Unfortunately, Vittorio is in an emergency meeting right now. Something about an error in the analytical reports in the new firm. This meeting means that he is unable to come. So, I am here with Johnathan instead. That way, he can record Nathanial and send the footage to Vittorio. Plus, he might warm up to the idea of adopting. After the whole thing with Abdullah, he has been easing to the idea of having children. But only time can tell. Nathanial is about eighteen months now. And every single day, I fall more in love with him. From his gorgeous eyes to his pitchy squeal, everything about him makes me feel better. His eyes, which u

I have done everything that I can, and my little bundle of joy is still crying. However, he is a baby. And sometimes babies cry because that's what they do. And as his mother, I will be here to comfort him. Even though his crying is putting my sleep schedule on hold.Vittorio is staying overnight at work, leaving me by myself in the process. After exposing his insecurities to me, Vittorio and I have been more honest and open about what we want. So, I'm used to him leaving to work on important things.Besides, I've already finished writing my novel, so I'm not working on anything. This gives me plenty of time to focus on Nathanial.The ring of the doorbell makes me twist my head. I have no idea who is at the door. I swear that if it's another girl scout with cookies,

    Present- July 15th, 2033 The loud hammering echos through the walls. The room is vibrating as the constant noise reverberates with it. Nathanial is wrapped on my back with kente. I lean on the doorsill, looking down at my fiance in pure annoyance. I just finished feeding Nathanial and now I'm making sure that he sleeps. Vittorio is wearing his old denim overalls, and his hair is tied into a bun. “Vittorio, how long will you take to fix the crib?” I ask in vexation. Vittorio cranes his neck towards me with a blank stare. I playfully stick my tongue out to him. Vittorio rolls his eyes and continues to put the crib together. Our new nursery is starting to come together quite nicely now. We decided on making the nursery lilac purple. The bright hue made the room elegant yet simple. Most of Nathanial's furniture is inside the nursery. All we need to do is unpack all of his toys. During our move, the original

Nathanial is wearing a light yellow onesie, and Adamelia is wearing a dark graphic blue romper. Both of them are lying on their stomach and begin giggling after Nathanial says something. Seeing these two bundles of joys playing in the pen makes me smile. I take a quick video on my phone and send it to Jessica. I also make sure to take a few photos. Jessica is been busy with work, and she asked if I can babysit. I said yes because a lot of my work is done at home. And suffice to say, I am in love with how Adamelia interacts with Nathanial. Thanks to our constant communication, I view Jessica more like family now. I'm like Adamelia's aunty, and it shows. Both Adamelia and Nathanial look so similar.

    Present- June 10th, 2033 (N.S.F.W.) I sigh relief as I step inside the hot spring pool. I sit down and close my eyes, allowing the bubbling water to melt away my stress. I had packed some spare pool clothes. I don't really enjoy wearing my neon blue bikinis. But, it's the only thing that I can wear because Vittorio is wearing my oversized military green board shorts. But on him, they fit perfectly. The orange sun is setting, turning the sky into a canvas of blues, orange, red, and yellows. I glance to my right and smile as Vittorio sits beside me. I slide closer to him and place my legs over his lap. He then clasps my soaking hands and kisses them lightly.My love for this man is immeasurable. With his presence alone, he can make me feel so at ease. I have no words to describe the way I feel for this man. "በጣም አፈቅርሃለው(I love you so much)" I say in my n
