Chris’s pov
I still couldn't believe what Nicole did this morning, she actually came to kiss me, who in her right senses would do a thing like that, to kiss her sister's husband or rather her late sister’s husband, that was really the height of it, I got into my car and drove off to work, I had seen Aubrey standing and looking at me perplexed by my reaction but I couldn't care less, I loved Nicole like a younger sister and ignored most of her mistakes but this one I really could not ignore it. She has done something she should never have, and that was to kiss me.
How could Nicole ever think of kissing me, I shook my head and blocked out all the thoughts that were related to her in any way, that was definitely the end of it. Isabelle was the one reason we had a connection and now Isabelle is gone, there is nothing we need from each other anymore, I got to work and parked the car, getting into the hospital and a nurse came over to fill me in on everythi
Aubrey's povI had gotten back home today expecting a 'Sorry I could not make it today ' message from Alex but I got nothing instead, he read and didn't reply to my message and he just went missing in action, I was glad that I made a friend today and It turns out Lucas is from Oklahoma, he is married with a kid back there and had been working with Chris for the past five years, it amazes me as to how some workers stay so loyal to their employers, obviously the employers has to be good to them. I spent the rest of the day eating and watching movies, Judy only came out of her room when she wanted to cook, she was not much of a talker and I understood that about her. It was night and I heard Chris’s car pull up, I had my dinner a while ago but I wasn't ready to sleep yet"Good evening” I greeted him and he looks at me and greeted me back "So how was your lunch?" He asked me and I groaned "He didn't show up,” I say and be raised his eyebrows "so you didn't have lunch?”
Aubrey POVToday was the day Isabelle died! The day Chris lost his wife, now I understand why his mood changed suddenly yesterday night, I didn't know what to say, today would make it 4 years that his wife passed away and I know exactly how he must be feeling right now, I also lost my father about 9 years ago and everytime it was his death anniversary I always retracted back to my shell"Today makes it four years that she died" I say and Emilia nods "Chris loved Isabelle dearly that he didn't believe she died when she was pronounced dead, he couldn't attend the funeral because of the trauma he had to go through, it took us a while to convince him that she was truly dead, every year on her anniversary he would go missing and no one knows where he goes to, he comes back a day after, so we expect it this year too, and just like that he is gone with no traces" she says and I enveloped her hands in mine "He needs time, time heals all wounds including this, it might le
I looked at him and saw tears in his eyes, my heart broke into little pieces of seeing how broken he really is "You really love her, don't you?" I asked and he smiled sadly at the grave "I used to love her a lot but now I do not know anymore, I can't sort out my feelings and it hurts so much " I looked at him, listening to every word that came out of his mouth "You just need time Chris, with time everything will be much clearer" I say and smiled at him"Isabelle wouldn't want to see you like this, all drunk and sad," I say and he laughs "She wanted me to be happy! But my happiness was with her, she took my happiness away "He tells m and I looked at him "She is always here Chris, she's always with you right here" I pointed at his heart "She would always be with you, and yes you can be happy without her, you need to make more happy memories because that is what Isabelle would want" I say and he looks at me, I hadn't even noticed it had started to drizzle "Today makes
He looks at me as though I was sick "What do you mean you won't eat if I don't eat?" He asked me and I looked at him directly into his eyes "I WILL NOT LET EAT IF YOU DO NOT EAT, and you shouldn't forget I am pregnant" I say and he groaned "Why wouldn't you leave me, Aubrey?" He grumbled and I smiled sweetly at him "What's the fun of leaving you alone, come on I am hungry, and if you don't eat I will not be able to eat" I whined and held my baby bump "Are you that hungry, don't worry your dad will not purposely starve us, when he eats then we will be able to eat too and I am sure he won't take time, so hold on a bit, uh, your dad is a good person and will not starve us" I say, talking to my bump.I looked up at him to see him looking at me weirdly, he groaned and stood up, sitting down to eat the food I brought, I first bump the air *He is actually eating * "Stop hovering around me and go eat," He says and I pout *I didn't want to leave him* "Did you know June has been asking of you
Chris’s PovI knew I felt something for Aubrey, I like her for a fact and I did know if it was right for me to like her, I seemed not to know much about anything anymore, my mind wandered back to last night when I had kissed her again for the third time without any regrets whatsoever. I know well that it has been four years since Isabelle’s death and maybe it is time for me to move on, just maybe I should listen to what everyone keeps telling me, but now I don't know anymore! All I could think about right now was Aubrey, Aubrey, Aubrey!I sighed and looked up to see her coming downstairs, We are going for a check-up today and I know she would be seeing Alex again, but I trust he knows better now! I still don't understand why I am so protective of Aubrey, I was never like this with Isabelle but Aubrey was making me do things I would never do, Things I would never dream of doing and I don't know why. I couldn't care less about Alex, he didn't have the balls t
Aubrey’s povI was on my way home from the hospital, Alex had totally ignored me all thorough and no, it doesn't hurt me or any of that, I am just saddened by the fact that he is an asshole but then it is what it is. I was deeply embarrassed by what I said last night that even I couldn't understand it, I told Chris that I like himWhat in the world prompted you to say that Aubrey!? Seeing him this morning made all the memories from last night rush back, his warm soft lips on mine, his strong hands encircling my waist, his teeth grazing my lips! Goosebumps appeared on my body just thinking about it, I absentmindedly touched my lips as a faint smile appeared on my face *I was gradually falling for Chris* I don't know if this is wrong or right to feel but I was falling for him hard, I always felt nervous when he is around me and my heart would skip a beat, I blushed like crazy and wanted to hear his voice at all times, I wanted him more than usual, I want him all th
Aubrey's Povwe all looked at Judy shocked "W-Who are you?" I stuttered still shocked, who have we been staying with? I glanced at June and gestured at her to go upstairs which she did diligently "WHO ARE YOU!?" I yelled and she began to shake where she stood "Amanda hold her, let me get Carlos or Lucas!" I say and she tries to run, Amanda grabs her while I grabbed my phone, immediately calling Chris, he didn't pick and I called Carlos of which he picked up immediately"T-There is someone in the house, please get here as soon as possible," I say and hung up the call, looking at Amanda who held Judy "How did you not know she isn't the one?" Amanda gritted and I shrugged, "You didn't exactly leave a picture of your substitute," I say and she nods"What do you think you are doing uh? You think you both can hold me" Judy says and I looked at her shocked "So you can talk" I say and looked behind her, I walked towards her with a smirk on my face, I grabbed a loose
I was beaming with happiness, still thinking about Chris taking me out on a date, he wants me to be his girlfriend! I couldn't believe it still, my inside was flipping that it might burst out of too much excitement"Why are you so happy?" Amanda asked me and I looked at her before shrugging, she gave me a weird look before going to her roomI love Amanda but, No! I am not saying anything yet until I am pretty sure this is not a dream eitherThe rest of the day went by and I bade goodnight to everyone, Chris didn't come out again and I guessed he was busy all throughNow I am in bed, tossing and turning trying to wrap my head around the happenings of today especially the one where he told me he wants me to be his girlfriend, I was definitely not sleeping anytime soon and would continue to think about it. I got out of bed to drink water in the kitchen and adjusted my pajamasI walked downstairs and hoped to see Chris just like I used 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
