The Marriage Contract #23
**LIA** When we finally returned to our new apartment after the dinner with the Kings, they kindly offered to take Angel for the night to allow me some much-needed rest. The exhaustion was undeniable, but the mere thought of being separated from her after all those long months was unbearable. I politely declined their offer, assuring them that I could handle it, and took Angel to my room, tucking her in for a peaceful night's sleep. The apartment, still new and unfamiliar, felt simultaneously welcoming and foreign. The soft hum of the air conditioning provided a soothing background noise, and the dim glow of the city's lights outside the window offered a sense of tranquility. After settling Angel, a burning determination filled me. I couldn't let Drex's father control our lives the way he did his own son's. With a resolute knock on Drex's bedroom door, I signaled my intent. "Hey Drex, I need to talk to you," I announced. With a knock on his room door. "Be right out!" he yelled fro
The Marriage Contract #24
**LIA** It had been a full week since we moved into our apartment, and in that time, our communication had been limited to mere glances or occasional encounters in the kitchen or the living room. A brief exchange of greetings, and nothing more. This was the agreement we had settled on, and I tried not to let it bother me. In truth, I had no complaints. Drex had been bringing his girlfriend over, and they seemed to enjoy their time together. He would always give me a heads-up, so I'd either vacate the premises or stay confined to my room while they were around. During these times, I would often meet up with Jasper, and to my surprise, Angel had taken a liking to him faster than I had expected. They hit it off so well that I felt comfortable asking Jasper to help watch her if I had to go to work. On the ninth day, as I was taking a leisurely stroll with Angel in her stroller, I spotted Jasper. "Hey?" I called out to him. "Lia?" Jasper seemed as surprised as I was. "Are you in this n

**LIA** The meal Jasper prepared was not only delicious but also a rare treat for me. Long hours at work had turned my home into a place I barely spent time in. Instead, I relied on takeout or dining out, and my kitchen rarely saw the presence of groceries. The only cooking I did at home was for Angel, carefully preparing her baby food. I expressed my heartfelt gratitude to Jasper for the meal, emphasizing how it had been so long since I had the pleasure of a home-cooked meal. When I entered my house, I was met with a less than welcoming sight – Drex, seated on the couch with a deep frown etched across his face. His posture conveyed his disapproval, and it was evident that he had been waiting for my return. Arms were folded, and he looked as if he had something important to discuss. Not wanting to let him know that I was aware of his presence, I feigned ignorance and gently placed Angel on the floor. "Come on, Angel, let's go play in our room," I cooed, helping her take her wobbly f
The Marriage Contract #26
**DREX** Thud! A loud noise reverberated through Lia’s room, Distracting me from what I was doing on my phone and amidst the echoes, the baby began crying, I'd thought it should stop by now, assuming Lia was attending to her but the cries of the baby intensified. Though I'd been somewhat nonchalant about the baby, preoccupied with school and thoughts of Jesse, the escalating cries drew my attention. Anticipating Lia to have attended to the baby's needs, the persistent screams suggested otherwise. Worry gnawed at me, prompting me to rise from the couch and rush into Lia’s room. To my dismay, I discovered the baby lying on the floor, having fallen from the bed. Lia, engrossed in the shower, seemed oblivious to the incident. Without hesitation, I scooped up the distraught infant, attempting to soothe her distressed cries. “There, there, baby girl. It’s okay, I got you,” I murmured, cradling her gently. As I wiped away her tears, she gazed at me with an odd intensity. A sudden warmth
The Marriage Contract #27
**LIA** “Come on, Angel, let's give mommy some space to get ready.” Drex said. It sounded weird hearing that come from him. I think he realized how weird it sounded given our situation, because he didn’t bother looking up anymore, he practically ran out of the room. I almost bust into laughter because of how cute that was. After my shower, I didn't bother to lotion my body, it was already night so I didn't want to have to stress, I decided to go for comfort, I went for black shorts and a big grey T-shirt as my outfit, after drying my hair I packed it up in a rough bun. Took my phone from my bed and headed to the living room. As I observed Drex holding our child, it struck me that this might be the first time he had ever held her in nearly two years since her birth. The thought brought a pang of sadness as I recalled that my own father had never held me; he had passed away long before I came into the world. Despite the pretense of our situation, I felt grateful that Angel could expe
The Marriage Contract #28
**DREX** The warm morning light gently streamed through the curtains, casting a golden hue across the room. I lay there, still and contemplative, trying to piece together the events of the previous night. Did anything happen between Lia and me? The memory was hazy, blurred by the fog of sleep and the remnants of alcohol from the night before. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to the brightness of the day, relieved to find myself fully clothed. A soft movement beside me caught my attention, and I turned my gaze to Lia, nestled against me on the floor. My arms instinctively tightened around her, pulling her closer as if to reassure myself of her presence. Her peaceful sleeping form, with her hair cascading over her face, filled me with a sense of warmth and comfort. Gently, I reached out with a trembling hand to brush a stray strand of hair away from her face, revealing her delicate features. She looked so serene, so beautiful in her slumber. I truly meant what I said on our first night t
The Marriage Contract #29
**LIA**As I glanced down at Angel, cradling her gently to coax her back into slumber, a whirlwind of thoughts raced through my mind. The intensity of the moment we shared was undeniable, but rationality prevailed as I dismissed any notion of an impromptu rendezvous. It was just a fleeting moment, I reassured myself, albeit a tempting one. Trying to get rid of Drex that was in my thoughts, I tried thinking about the bulky work I would have to do today, catching up in school today. But somehow he stayed in my thoughts. With Angel stirring in her sleep, I knew I had a limited window of opportunity to get everything prepared for the day ahead. Today was Angel's first day at preschool and I wanted to prepare as much as possible for her. As I carefully laid her back in to her crib, I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride mixed with a hint of apprehension for what the day would bring.After completing my own morning routine, I tended to Angel's needs, bathing her and dressing her in a ch
The Marriage Contract #30
**LIA** My first day so far wasn't really bad, all thanks to Jasper. Only thing stopping me from having much fun right now is because I am aware about the bulky work load I've got coming. Being a transferred student is not as easy as the Kings thinks, but at this point I've got no choice. At the end of the day, I ended being swamped with coursework at school, desperate to catch up on missed classes. I knew Drex would understand if I just ask him of this favor. I hastily dialed his number, thinking about how I was going to ask him to pick Angel up. I clearly told him already she was my responsibility, so bothering him would be going out of it right? But at this point, doesn't seem like I have any choice. "Hey" he answered the called. "Um...hey" I replied. "What's going on?" He asked. He was bound to ask like that, I mean it's not like we normally call ourselves. I took a breath out and tried my luck. "Um...I need a favor from you..." My thumb nail in my mouth as I started talkin

**JASPER**Just coming back from a stroll, when I witnessed Jessica having the door slammed shut on her face. I was going to ignore it and climb upstairs to my apartment, because I had no business with her anymore,but just then she turns around and sighted me. "Jasper?" She called and sniffed. I then look at her direction, she was in tears, I couldn't just leave her like that so I ended up taking her to my apartment. "Want some coffee?" I offered. "Yes please,"she answers and cleans her tears. "Alright," I clicked my tongue and went into the kitchen, made the coffee and brought it for her. Her eyes already puffy and red from crying. "Thanks," she managed to say and collects the coffee from me. Then I sat next to her, we hadn't really been close like this since her birthday, she told me she was ready to end her relationship with Drex for me. We were childhood friends and then became best friends and the year I told her I was in love with her was when she also told me she was

**LIA**He made his first movement very slowly inside me and I moaned at the contact. Making me forget what had interrupted us before. "Hmmm...who-hmmhmm," I suddenly could not make a sentence anymore, I was a moaning mess, and all because of just his fingers."Baby girl, let's-us-just-ignore-it, who's-ever-at-the-door-would-go-away," Drex said all those words each, planting a kiss on my neck,still fingering me slowly, touching every area needed in the walls of my opening. "Hmmhmm," I couldn't even voice out a yes, but I guess he understood. Just when we thought the person was gone because we didn't hear the doorbell anymore, the person decided to knock this time, and not even once, continuously. I guess the person really needs us. "Hmmhmm...D-hmmmm," Yeah I still couldn't make up a sentence. But then it was like Drex understood once again. This time Drex began moving faster with his finger, like he wanted us to finish up quick I guess, but then I was still enjoying it all too mu

**LIA**The movie, started off all nice and romantic and suddenly heated scenes starts to show and I was suddenly feeling hot, I didn't know the movie would show all these. I guess that's why the name is hence 'Burning desires,' I turn to my side only to find Drex already staring at me. "Yes...hmm," the female lead began moaning. Not the right time for this TV."Harder baby!" She yells. This is so embarrassing. Drex didn't say anything but instead I could see his eyes get darker with desire and I didn't even realize how dry my throat was, I swallowed and then took my lower lip in my mouth biting it in the process. "I want all of you," the male lead spoke while you could hear the moaning sounds in the background. It was as if that was what Drex was waiting on, before I realized what was going on, Drex, in a swift motion charges towards me and took my lips making the both of us land on the bed, I was now laying on my back while he was hovering above me. His lips were warm and soft

**LIA**After mentally groaning to the interuption of my comfortability, who had the audacity to interrupt me time. I thought I should be home alone by now right? I mean it's either they went to his room or went out to, so why is there a knock at my door? I got up from my bed and opened the door. It was Drex. What was he doing here? I thought he had to hang out with Jessica now or something. "Drex?" I called his name in question. "What are you doing here? And where is Jessica?" I asked, peeping out of my door trying to seek her out. "Mind if I join you?" He asked surveying my room, trying not to make eye contact. Join me? in my room? "What-what about Jessica?" I had to ask again. "I um sent her away..." He said, his hand finding it's way to the back of his neck. "Are you guys okay?" I had to ask. Because just four days ago the two of them couldn't get enough of themselves. I mean Drex forgot his child because of her. "Yeah...can we not-" he said.Oh, I didn't mean to pry."Ye
The Marriage Contract #35
**LIA**As promised, Drex did his part as a dad to Angel, he'd help me feed her while I get ready for school, he makes sure she's tucked in before I get back home maybe when I have a late night class that day or I meet them playing if i get home early. He picks her up from school and helped me with most of the things that involved taking care of her. She was so used to her dad tucking her in that if he doesn't she makes a huge fuss.He made it so easy for me with school and all, I start to pity him, he's probably trying to make up for what he did. I didn't really feel being a mother much, because of his help. Weekend came by so fast, we decided to take Angel to her grandparents house, by that I meant his family. His sister also came visiting to his parents house and by visiting,I mean stay a while with them, With her twin boys who were about 3-4 years old and her husband. I'd only seen her once before and that was on my wedding day. It was just us two in the house when we came back

**LIA**I ended up explaining everything to Jasper on our way back home, our arms still linked together. "Well that is...just messed up!" He concluded. Right?! "I know!" I replied. "The important thing now is that she is safe and well tucked in." He said tapping my hand that was linked to his. "Yes that is true..." I said. As long as my baby's safe. We finally got to our gate and he decided to escort me to my door. "You should get some rest, I don't suggest you drink that today..." He said referring to the 6 cans of beer I had in the nylon I held. "It's already late, you should just get some rest.""Thanks Jasper," I removed my arm from his."I'll get that rest," "You should probably talk to Drex," He said with a smile. "Good night Lia," and then he left. "Good night," I waved at him. I got inside hoping Drex would be in his room already asleep but he was still in the living room. I tried as much as possible not to make eye contact,so I'd just head into my room but he wa

**DREX**After spending the whole day with Jessica, she begged me to take her to my house, to sleep over. I couldn't refuse, I took her home. We were heading in when Jessica decided to chat a bit outside with meWe were having a chat, our hands intertwined, when I noticed Lia and she was holding a sound sleeping Angel in her hand. She looked like she was shocked or something. Why is she just entering now? Isn't it a bit too late? I shouldn't bother, it's not really my problem... Is it?"You're one despicable human being" she said and walked away. "What's her deal?" Jessica asked while I just watched her walk away. "Drex! Hello! Focus on me!" Jessica brings my attention back to her. But it seems like my mind wanted to wonder the more. What happened and why am I a despicable human being? Did I do something that hurt her that bad? "Drex! Come on!" Jessica tries again. "Oh I'm sorry Jessica, you should probably head home," I said to her. "What?!" She raised her voice in surprise. "

**DREX**After dropping Lia at school, I went straight to mine. I am almost done with school, I just have few months left and I'm off to the sky! No litrally, I don't Know why but the love I have for being up there is so huge. Ever since I was little, I have always enjoyed flying so much I decided to be a pilot so it would be a regular thing for me to fly. When I told my dad, he made sure I got the best education, hired the best tutor and looked for the best college for me. He has always tried to help me, but somehow I was always disappointing him, not in my studies, just in everything else, like making any decisions. And something I thought was the biggest disappointment was somehow his happiness. Anyways, I have decided to make him proud by being the best pilot there is. After all that's what he expects from me after giving me the best. Didn't have much classes to do today, so I was done with classes by 2. Since I am in my final year it's mostly just projects and assignments. I w

**LIA**As I emerged from my room, the tension in the air was suffocating. All I could think about was grabbing a beer to numb the stress pulsating through my veins. Striding purposefully to the kitchen, I swung open the fridge door, hoping for a glimmer of relief. But alas, only one lone can greeted my searching gaze, mocking my desperate craving.Frustration clawed at my insides as I closed the fridge, resigned to my dwindling supply. Retreating back to my room, I shed the constraints of the day, I needed to get more cans, slipping into the comforting embrace of a grey sweat pant and hoodie. Tying my unruly hair into a messy bun, I tried to contain the chaos raging within. Taking my phone with me and coming back out of my room, Drex was already in the living room, he was watching the whatever was on TV. I didn't even want to see him right now, I was beyond pissed! I just wanted to quietly leave the house unfortunately he notices my presence. "Hey where are you going to?" He asked.
