Chapter 36
CHRIS POV:
I couldn't bear to face Aubrey after what had happened last night, I betrayed Belle by kissing her, my happiness lives with Belle and now I can't be happy with anyone else, Amanda had told me she was leaving for her home town today but I couldn't care less, I was hurting for the fact that I couldn't keep my promise to Belle, I was hurting at the fact that I felt so weak whenever I'm with Aubrey, I was hurting!
I made my way out of the house at the early hours of the morning and drove aimlessly, I didn't have any emergencies or anything, I just didn't want to be in the same house where I would be haunted by Isabelle's memories or even the memory about the kiss with Aubrey, I drove towards my favorite place, the lake! the scenery always seemed to calm my nerves and make me think straight, I know whatever it is I feel for Aubrey is wrong, but it feels so right in my heart and this was making me so anxious, I shouldn't have such feelings for Au
Aubrey's POV:Why didn't he tell me his parents were coming over, his mom seemed very lively and bubbly while his dad seemed really quiet, maybe he is just reserved or something, June was currently talking to his mom while his dad focused more on frozen “ I know my son isn't dating or courting you and you are certainly not his wife, so how are you pregnant for him? Or was it a one time slip up? She asked and I almost choked on my spit, I didn't know when she stood up to sit beside me, well I was too engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't see her “ sorry dear I was asking too many questions right?, But don't worry you can answer them one at a time, what are you to my son? ” she asked and I thought of what to say "uh - I work for him as his house keeper ” I said and she raised her eyebrows “ I didn't know house keepers can watch movies at their bosses home when he isn't around ” she says and I averted my gaze, “ Don't lie to
Aubrey's PovI woke up the next day and got dressed, my baby bump had gotten slightly bigger and I smiled at it, my skin was regaining the color it lost when I was taking care of June and myself. I pulled my top down and walked out to June’s room but she wasn't there, I groaned "June!” I yelled in my mind and walked downstairs where I saw June and Chris’s mom talking or rather June talking to Chris’s mom. "Good morning ma'am " I greeted and they both looked up at me "Good morning Bre, did you sleep well?" She chirped happily and smiled at her "Good morning dear, and stop calling me ma'am, my name is Emilia so I expect you to call me Emilia" She says as June jumped off her lap and rushes to me, I hold her little hand in mine "I was telling Grams" She says and I raised my eyebrow "Grams!!" I repeated and she nods " If you don't mind dear, I told her to call me grams seeing as Chris’s child won't be here till some few months," She says to me and I n
Aubrey's POVChris has been in his study and refused to come out, well not like he refused because everyone left him to himself, it's probably for the best he wasn't disturbed, Nicole and Emilia mentioned his late wife which I guess struck a nerve in him, “ what's the food situation in this house ? ”Mr White yelled as he walked downstairs “ good morning sir ” I greeted him and he smiles at me “ good morning dear ” he replies me and looks at June “ good morning little lady ” he says and she giggles "good morning sir" she replies and he raised his eyebrows " I told you to call him Gramps" Emilia yelled from the wing room and June stood there with a shocked expression “ good morning Gramps” she says meekly and runs off to Emilia, which left me standing awkwardly with Mr White"Umm..Mr White, can I get you coffee?" I asked and he smiles "thank you dear, and it's Peter not Mr White” he say
After a very full breakfast I learnt that they were both going back today , i cant believe that i have grown attached to them, my phone beeped and I saw a message from from my mom m, my heart started to thump loudly, i shakily took a look at the message “ your 24 hours is over Aubrey, I would be coming over to get June ” i kept re-reading the message and I dropped my phone “ June ” i yelled out her name frantically “ June ” i ran to her room but she wasn’t in her room * could she have taken June * I started to shake vehemently “ brie , i heard you call my name l, is everything alright? ” she asked and i pulled her wrist and hugged her tightly “ y- you are okay right ” i ask and she nods “ why won’t i be, i was with greenie she says and i stood up clinging into her little hand as we walked towards Chris study and knocked kn the door, I opened it and saw Ch
Chris’s povI watched as Aubrey left my study, she seemed genuinely disturbed about her mom taking June away from her which I knew was impossible, I know people like her mom, and I can bet she is just after money, letting June go to Miami with my parents would increase her security there till I can find this damned mother of theirs, I heard a light know on my door and no one needed to tell me it was the little lady, I watched in amusement how she struggled to pull the knob of the door, I stood up and opened the door for her. She huffed and smiled immediately she saw me "Greenie!” She exclaimed and hugged me, we'll my waist. I chuckled as ruffled her hair "Bre told me that I am going on Vacaylion " She says and I hold a laugh in, her pronunciation of vacation was terrible "Yes you are going on a vacation with grams and grams, don't you like it?” I asked and she smiled but it dropped immediately "I am, but I will miss you and Bre,” she says and I smile at her "I would miss you too, but t
CHRIS’S POVShe immediately picks her phone and calls her mother "Put it on speaker" I mouthed to her and she did exactly that, After about three rings she picks up "You are calling me for the first time, are you that scared?" Her mom inquiries "Shut it, Katrina, I want to see you” Aubrey says and a light chuckle erupted from the phone "Why if I may ask?" She asked and Aubrey looks at me "I need assurance that you are going to give June back and it must not be more than a week so I need to see you " She replies her and she went silent over the phone and Aubrey looks at me "Alright fine, meet me at the park by 12 pm tomorrow and do not try anything funny Aubrey, if not I would really forget that you are my daughter " She says and Aubrey hung up the call "So what is the plan?" She asked me while I walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee "Chris!!" She yells my name and I looked at her "What's wrong?" I asked and she looked at me with disbelief "What do you mean what
Aubrey's POV 1Chris has been in his study for about five hours now and I was more than anxious and nervous, I had no idea what he had planned and all I know was the fact that he was going to make me see her tomorrow, June was already in Miami as it is ad Amanda was in her home town, my plans had started to to sweat again and I walked towards the kitchen to drink water, I was already hungry as it is and I might as well just prepare something for us to eat. I checked the available cupboards to see if there was anything I could cook and saw some food stuffs, I began cooking *it's been so long I actually cooked something,since I moved out of my tiny apartment, Amanda has been the one cooking,after I was done I glanced upstairs but but Chris was still not out of that study,I dished our foods, I placed mine on the dining table while I took his upstairs to his study * even if he was working, he would definitely have to eat I knocked on his door and heard a come in, I twisted the doo
Aubrey's POV 1:About 15 minutes had passed and she still had not arrived, I tried to look around for Carlos but I couldn't find him neither, I sighed and checked my phone, twenty minutes had gone by and she still wasn't here yet “ who are you looking for around for ?” I heard a voice say and I Flinched a bit i was surprised “ you of course, you were supposed to be here about twenty minutes ago ” I say and she shrugs “ I've been her since twenty minutes ago, I was watching you ” she says I looked at her as though she was crazy “ that really shitty, very shitty, do you think I am like you? I would never do that ” I say and she sneered at me “ you are my daughter after all, I can't past you” she says and I looked at her with disgust “ I can be your daughter but I promise you one thing,I am nothing like you, I took dad's genes and I am naturally a good person ” I say and she looked at m with a bored expression on her face “ yeah yeah, just like your father, I am not here to
Four Years AfterChris's Pov"Chris!" I heard Aubrey yell over the phone and I groaned internally, She was getting more cranky and demanding everyday, Now I am out trying to get chocolates and Icecream at Two in the midnight "Yes Babe!" I replied and heard her sigh over the phone "You're tired of me, aren't you?" She says sadly and I groaned internally "I can never be tired of you babe" I tell her"So you are getting my chocolate and Icecream?" She asks excitedly and I rolled my eyes "Yes, I am on my way back" I say and I heard her giggle, I cut the call and drove towards the house.Since Aubrey got pregnant, I've been going out of my mind trying keep up with her midnight cravings, Well Aubrey and I got married here in NewYork about two years ago in a simple manner, well Aubrey wanted it that way and U couldn't object to it!Having married her was and Is one of the best thing that has happened to me, also her getting pregnant, It still seemed
Aubrey's Pov1 Year After"Aubs, you need to calm down" Amanda says and I looked at her "Calm down! Calm down! We aren't even done with the decorations yet, how do you expect me to calm down?" I said and shut my eyes closed, I was really fustrated at this point that I didn't know what to do. My phone starts to ring and I picked it without checking the ID "What!!" I bellowed into the phone and heard a deep chuckle "You might want to rethink that help I offered" Chris says and I groaned internally "Fine, do your magic!" I say sarcastically and sat down looking at the mess that was made, Amanda was no where in sight after I yelled at her already but I mean, can you blame me ? My restaurant opening is tomorrow and I haven't even gotten half of anything done, Now I know you are surprised to hear Resturant and not a Coffee shop but I guess changes are part of life.I changed my mind from a Coffee shop and decided to open a restaurant, Amanda has been hired as the chef even though I was agai
Aubrey's PovI couldn't believe what I am about to do, Here I am with Chris half naked on the bed, he stands up and unbuttoned his shirt, I averted my gaze away from his toned chest, I heard him chuckle and his fingers touched my legs up to my thighs, The sensation I was feeling was indescribable, I felt his fingers grazed my inner thigh and I gasped, he slowly laid unto me as his lips found mine again, I slowly melted into the kiss and his hand grazed my feminine part even with the pantiesHis lips left mine and slowly and kissed my neck down the parting of my breasts, My breath hitched as I felt his breath linger on my nipple before his tongue circled my nipple, I felt my stomach flipped, I shut my eyes tighter as pleasure flowed through my body, I have never before felt this amount of pleasure, I shuddered at his touch (Not in a bad way, but in a good way) His lips left my nipple and kissed my tommy way down, I felt his lips down my abdomen and still going down, I f
About a week and a half has passed and I've seen Noah about twice, Chris calls me everyday to know how I am doing and even Emila has called me, June whines into the phone at every opportunity she gets about how much she misses me and wants me to come back home, I couldn't help but laugh at her silliness.I already visited my old home although it is now occupied by some other people, I got flashes of my childhood with my parents and how much they loved each other until it all went south! I saw Hannah once and she got teary eyed on seeing me, she kept apologizing to me She genuinely felt guilty about me leaving the town but I told her it wasn't because of her or her mom!Everyone kept complimenting me on how good I look that I almost started to believe it, Maybe I actually did look good, I can say my staying here did make me feel better about myself, I no longer felt paranoid about Isabelle or Nicole, I felt more peace and at ease just by being here and I totally loved it! I visited my f
The next day, Chris's call woke me up from bed and I smiled immediately I saw his name on my screen "Hello!" I say and heard some shuffling over the phone until he responded, we spoke for a couple of minutes and hung up the call.I got out of bed and had my bath , I wanted to visit my dad's grave today, after five years! I know it is long overdue but you can't blame me for that, I prepared myself mentally to face my dad, even though he wasn't alive I still felt his presence more constant here. I sighed and walked out of the hotel, trying to locate where I could get flowers, I saw a flower shop across and I went into get someI came back outside after I had gotten one and I stopped at Taxi to take me to the town cemetery, It felt like I was going to see my dad physically even though he was dead but then again, I could feel his presence more around here"We are here ma'am " The taxi driver says to me and I looked up to see we had gotten there, I searched through m
I asked June yesterday in the presence of everyone and I mean everyone If she wanted to go with me or stay here with Grams and Gramps but guess what, she wanted to stay here'Haha!' I was hopinh she would stay back because I needed this to myself alone, Does that make me selfish? I don't think so! Today is the day I am leaving to Vermie! I wanted to go back home and see my dad's grave again! I just wanted to get away from all that i have been facing! For once in myife simce my mom left us, I would be going somewhere without June and I wanted too, of course I know June would be in safe hands and I don't have to worry about anything here!"Aubrey!" I heard Chris call out to me and I turned to look at him "Yeah, Chris!" I replied and he walked closer to me, enclosing me into a bear hug, I sighed as I got comfortable in his arms "I will miss you Aubrey!" He says and I chuckle "It's just two weeks, Greenie" I say and he chuckled and kissed my forehead, I tilted my head upwa
A few days have passed since the Isabelle incident and Chris and I are doing better, Well mostly Chris! I could hardly sleep because of the trauma! I keep imagining things everywhere and it hasn't been easy to keep this to myself, We were both getting discharged today and I'm glad I can finally leave the hospitalI need some peace and quiet, without the world noise constantly getting to me Nor the stress I always have to put up with, I needed to get away from NY at any cost, Although I knew Chris wouldn't allow it but I have to find myself, I feel like with all the Chaos that had happened I need to find and regain myself, I didn't usually sleep with my eyes open but now that is like the normal way for me!Isabelle has striken awake a part of me that I never thought existed and that was the fear part, I hated feeling so weak and vulnerable but I can't help it if that's how i felt, Constantly watching over my back so I don't get shot or stabbed, I didn't
Aubrey's PovThe time seemed to stop as I looked back and forth at Chris and Isabelle who were both laying on the floor with blood surrounding them! I couldn't think straight as I clutched Chris's shirt tightly, Some nurses and doctor came over immediately and took him on a stretcher, My mind could focus on anything, I couldn't think about anythingChris just got shot because of me! He got shot with a bullet that was meant for me! I rushed out with the strecher that Chris was laying on as tears streamed down my face "Please help him" I cried hysterically "Doctor White has just been shot, Get the operating room ready please " I heard someone say as we approached a room "Aubrey, you can't come in" I heard the familiar doctor say and I looked at him "B-but, he is.." I stuttered, still crying and he holds me by my shoulder "He will be fine Aubrey, Really he will be fine" He says and I watched as he walked into the room Chris was wheeled in, I stood out there pacing a
Aubrey's PovIt felt like I was in those action movies where they throw a knife and you catch it but No, this is real life and a knife is being thrown at me! I ducked my head and looked at the knife that was currently stucked into the curtainMy heart beat went up from 50 to 200, I just had a knife thrown at me, my palms were sweating as hell right now as i shakily looked at Isabelle who was smiling at me "Aww, Such a shame! Shall we play this game again?" She says and i shook my head profusely"Isabelle, please! I would leave your lives, please!!" I pleaded with her and glanced at the door, hoping and praying someone would come in"You shouldn't look there, no one would come here to save you, everyone is busy with that fire incident! So no saviour for you" She says and pulls out a gun, where from? I don't know!"Did you think I brought only the knife! Haha, you really cannot be that stupid right" She says and I looked at her shoc
