Jason.The moment everyone retired to them rooms and their homes, I knew this was my moment to strike.After all, she did say she was going to give me something delicious when we get home. That's what I'm excited for.Something delicious.I took my bath and came out of the room only to meet her on the bed already fast asleep."Eve.." I whispered quietly and she hummed in response."What about what you promised me." I mumbled and she groaned."Tomorrow." She mumbled and I sighed."Why not tonight?" I asked with a frown."I can't make anything tonight, I'm tired." She said and I raised my brows.What's she making?"You promised me something delicious." I grumbled."Jason, you said you had a lot to eat today, do you still want to eat again?" She groaned.I was confused now.Just what did she mean by something delicious earlier?"What did you want to make?" I asked."I'll decide tomorrow." She said and that's when I knew.Eve wasn't planning on giving me something delicious like I thought
Detective Dave."Detective Dave, we have a situation." Detective Johnson, My partner said rushing into the police station."I'm listening." I said nonchalantly.After all, I'm still bothered about Sophie who's refusing to speak. Mr Jason Coleman is on my neck for this case and the higher ups are pressuring me to hurry up and prosecute her so I really couldn't care about other situations now."This is not a listening situation, we've got to go to the scene." Detective Johnson said."Okay, alright, Let's go." I said.We both got into our official police car and off we went straight to the crime scene."What's the situation?" I asked."A body in a drum." Detective Johnson said."Say what now?" I asked."A body in a drum." Detective Johnson repeated."How did that happen?" I asked."Apparently, a fisher man went fishing in some little lake around here by four am this morning." Detective Johnson explained."Fishing?, Who goes fishing by four am in the morning?" I said doubtfully and furro
Jason.The rain said to the wind. "You'll push and I'll pour."I woke up yet another day in Eve's arms. I was getting used to this and I can admit that it feels good to wake up in her arms."Good morning." I said to her as i kissed her forehead."Morning." She mumbled.I looked at myself in the mirror and I looked like i hadn't slept a wink last night where as Eve slept like a baby.It rained heavily the night before that it was hard to say one wouldn't fall asleep while it rained.But i hadn't slept a wink. After my encounter with Alice yesterday,I had a nightmare and that scared me to death.I dreamt that i lost Eve and so when I woke up, i was glad to see her sleeping soundly beside me and I watched her all night long so that she wouldn't slip away without me knowing."If you keep staring at me, you'll bore a hole in my skin." Eve joked."Sorry." I chuckled nervously."Oh come on Jason,it's Sunday morning." Eve said."Oh church?" I asked."I'm not asking you to go to church, I'm
Alice.I paced around my living room in anticipation. Mark was on call with one of his acquaintance trying to figure out a few things based on the misstep we had in the past few days.He soon came back to where I was pacing about in the living room with a grin on his face."They can't trace it to us." Mark said still grinning but I didn't find it funny."Why aren't you happy?" He asked noticing the annoyed look on my face."Why did you do it?" I asked calmly and he scoffed."Why did you do it?" I asked again with a slightly raised voice."What did I do?" He asked with an innocent look on his face like he had no idea on what I was talking about."Why did you kill him?" I asked angrily, very pissed that he was pretending not to remember what I was asking about."Kill him?" He laughed."Me?" He laughed again."You killed him." I said in a more angrier tone."No, we killed him." He said correcting me and I paused."I.." I paused unsure of how to defend myself."What?" "Afraid to talk?""
Eve.We sat in the dinning eating dinner, Ethan and Max seemed to come often since they heard I'm pregnant although I'm still yet to meet my replacement at Ethan's cafe. Grandma Nini and Mom had already had dinner earlier, I waited for Jason to come back and he came with Max, Ethan and Jade who drove him back from wherever he must have gone to earlier today.I turned to my side where Jason sat down and was looking like something was bothering him."You're going to bore holes in his skin if you keep staring at him like that." Max said to me and I glared at him."What?, Did I say something wrong?" He asked and continued eating."You just don't know when to shut up, do you?" I said rolling my eyes."Eve, you said you liked men who could cook." Max said drawing Jason's attention.Jason pouted the moment he heard what Max said."Cooking or no cooking, I love you either ways." I said to him."Oh my." Ethan said chuckling"Such cheesy lines." Max laughed.And everyone bursted into laughter.
Jason.As I sat down in the garden with Eve and the cool breeze blew against our skin, I couldn't help but think about something I read in a book a few years back. In quotes, it says:An object need not be large to have great mass. Technically, Eve isn't relatively tall and neither was she from a rich household and yet a girl like her as tiny as a violet. A girl drifting in the sky like the petals of a flowers drew me to her with a force greater than one exerted by the earth. And in a single moment, I had fallen for her and rolled towards her without rhyme or reason just as newton's apple did with a thump. My heart bounced from heavens to the earth in a dizzying pendular motion and I knew that I had fallen in love with her, and hard. And She is no other person than Eve. And as far as I know, she's my first love and will remain as that.And we sat there, I couldn't help but think about all the lovely moments that I had fallen in love with her. I could even imagine what our future w
Jason.Three weeks had passed and Eve was beginning to show signs of being pregnant.Although she was constantly nagging me to let her go out of the house. I couldn't.Atleast not without someone to follow her about.Max and Ethan haven't been frequenting the house together but on seperate days because Max claims the proposal was too boring and Ethan on the other hand is thinking of a better way to propose.As for me, I'm also thinking of better ways to propose.Why? Because Eve and I haven't had a proper wedding yet. We just jumped straight into marriage without dating or courting and in as much as I want to make it right by doing all the things I failed to do with her, I can't because of the lingering danger at hand.I'm scared that something might happen if I let my guard down.I know that it is wrong of me to think of tomorrow's answers instead of focusing on today.But I can't help it especially when I know that Eve's life and that of my unborn child might be in danger."Will y
Eve. Jason and I were on our way to Ethan's apartment from the park.I must admit, it does feel good to be outside after a long while of staying inside the house.We soon arrived at Max apartment and went upstairs taking the elevator.Ding dong ding.We rang the doorbell and Max was the one who opened the door."What are you guys doing here?" Max seemed surprised to see us."We came to say hello, since you're always coming to see me, I thought about returning the favor." I said and he laughed as he let us in."Favor my ass." He said and Jason smacked him."The baby can hear you know." Jason said and Max gave him an eye roll before sitting down on the couch."Where is Ethan?" I asked seeing as there was no sign of him at home."Probably at the cafe." Max said with a shrug."What do you mean probably?" I furrowed my brows."I.." Max was about to reply when the sound of Jason's phone ringing interrupted him."I have to pick this." Jason said apologetically before disappearing to pick th
Grand finale.Eve.Two years later.A double life sentence with no parole for the murder of nineteen year old fudger, attempted murder on Jason and I. Plus twenty years blackmail for on Sophie and Mark and perjury. That was Alice's sentence.The news broke out few months after Jason and I got married and I couldn't help but feel bad for her. But she brought it upon herself.I even heard that she has become insane and was transfered to a special mental facility where she was under surveillance twenty four seven and now she's like a soulless body only living for the drugs injected in her body.I guess that's why they say - Do things that make you happy within the confines of the law.Mark on the other hand, died. Apparently, he was a drug addict and the drugs were already affecting his immune system and since he couldn't no longer take them in prison, his health deteriorated and he ended up kicking the bucket. I sighed heavily as I was lost in thought until I heard my name being call
Eve.Oh my fucking God!!There were white decorations everywhere and not to mention, it was filled people important people wearing purely white garb.Jason and I were the only one who stood out because we were wearing casual clothes.At the front, there was a priest and everyone I knew was there. Jason's Mom.Grandma Nini.Jade and Patricia.Max and Ethan?, They didn't even tell me they were back. Max and Ethan were spending some time with ethan's parent. Apparently, they were more accepting than Max's family. Even the twins, Declan and Damian weren't left out from the surprise wedding ceremony. Well, apart from my parents. I bet Jason knew inviting them would ruin this day.I wonder how they haven't changed from their bad ways all these while."Oh my goodness." I said turning to face Jason."What do you think?""Do you like it?" Jason asked and i almost squealed."Like it?, I love it!" I said in a half yell. Atleast not loud enough to draw attention to us. I remained gobsmacked a
Eve.Three months later.Mom and grandma Nini insisted on taking care of Declan and Damian while Jason and I go out for a date.According to her, we've not gone on a date for a while so now that the babies don't want their mother all the time, we can go out for a bit.Jason insisted that I put on a blindfold because it's a surprise and I had no choice but to do as he said.Not that I couldn't refuse but who would refuse a surprise anyways?"Where are we going?" I asked as I got into the car."Somewhere special." Jason said getting into the car as well and he began to drive to God knows where.It took a while but the car finally stopped and Jason helped me out of the car."Let me prepare you for what you're about to see." Jason said and i snorted. I could tell that we weren't in some hotel or big restaurant because of the air I could feel against my skin.And then Jason held my hands dragging me to where we were going to, with the blindfold still on my face."Are we there yet?" I mutte
Jason.After they sew eve's uterus and cleaned her up, she was transfered to a normal ward.And I went to see our babies in the incubator. The doctor said they'll have to be monitored for two weeks but for now, nothing was wrong and that it was only because they were born two weeks earlier than the scheduled time.I smiled as I watched my kids from the glass mirror with an overwhelming happiness in my heart. I didn't get to carry them yet, I wanted to wait for Eve to wake up before carrying them.It was definitely not because I thought I might drop them or hold them tighter than I should."You're now a father." I heard my mom say behind me and I smiled.I never thought having children would give me so much pride and joy but looking at them through the glasses made me realize that I was now a father, a father of two strong boys. And I promise to take care of them with all that I have. "Why didn't you tell Eve that they're twins?" She asked and i chuckled.I still remember when I fou
Eve.We were currently at the hospital and the contractions had not stopped. I was seated on a hospital bed and I focused on the television that was showing the news. I rubbed my stomach in a circular motion hoping that the pain would lessen but that proved futile.I was in a really foul mood. I don't know why.Maybe because everybody kept asking me how I was feeling or maybe because I wasn't feeling better. I don't know but I was angry. I wasn't angry at anybody and I wasn't angry at myself but I was angry."Darling,it would be dangerous if you delay the birth more." Mom said trying to convince me to transfer to the delivery room.For the past thirty minutes that we've been here, they've been trying to convince me to head to the delivery room but I refused because I was definitely not going to give birth without the presence of the father of my child. Plus, my water wasn't broken yet though the doctor did say that it was only a matter of time. "Mom, I'm not giving birth without Jaso
Eve.I groaned for the nth time today. Grandma Nini, Mom and Isaiah were trying to make me happy but I wore a frown on my face.Jason had to go for an impromptu work problem and I couldn't go with him because of my pregnancy.I mean, the reason I want to go is because I don't want to be away from him even if it's just a second and yet he flew across the sea for some work problem leaving his pregnant wife at home?What do you think about that?Isn't that annoying and irresponsible?And I don't even have anybody to rant to because Mom says I should be understanding while Grandma Nini is indifferent.Isaiah on the other hand won't stop talking about the celebrity he met at Max's wedding. I've always thought I didn't have enough time to talk to Isaiah because of our crazy parents but now I just want him to shut up.I've been calling Max for the past hour and he's not picking up. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think it's night in Paris so I really have no idea why he's not picking up.S
Max.Ethan and i were spending the second week of our honeymoon at Hawaii. I guess spending time in the Louvre didn't excite me as much as it excited Eve. It's not that I didn't enjoy my stay in Paris but maybe it was a bit too much? Or overated? I think what I actually wanted was to just spend the final week on relaxation and maybe take a road trip around the city tasting different Hawaiian food in the process. I bet that would be amazing. The hotel and resort that we were currently at was very beautiful and magnificent and I couldn't help but squeak in excitement once we were shown into our rooms. "This place is wonderful." I said excitedly to max who smiled in return. I bet he's just as excited as I am. Once we got to our room, I saw that there were rose petals on the bed and in the bathtub. I've seen stuffs like this in the movies and I must admit, it does look very romantic. I'm guessing it's there because of the reservation we made. After all, it's a honeymoon reservatio
Eve.I woke up with Jason hugging my back, his warm callous palms were inside my clothes and rested on my bulging belly.Yesterday had been so hectic because of the trial and all. "Jason, you're awake, aren't you?" I gasped once I felt his palms cup my swelling breast."Why did you wake up so early?" He questioned as he kissed my nape and i smiled because I had woken up to ease myself.He slowly massaged my sensitive breast while grinding his body against mine. "I want to pee." I whined preventing his hands from moving aggressively."Hmmm, okay, I'll come with you." Jason said as he let me go and helped me get up from the bed and we both went to the bathroom. I wasn't even surprised or embarrassed that he followed me to the bathroom because he has been doing this since that incident. That miraculous incident that healed his legs. At first I used to be embarrassed especially when he guards the door when I'm taking my bath but I soon got used to it and I understand that it's just hi
Eve.As I walked towards the front roll, just close enough so every single person in the room could hear what I had to say."You're just delusional, was it so hard to accept that he didn't love you?""All those years that you've been friends, not once did he ever look at you and not once did he ever put a label on your relationship but you went ahead with your delusional mind to conclude that he would one day love you?""I can't believe we're all gathered in court to deal with someone who couldn't keep her delusions in check." I said and the crowd hummed in response."Shut up!" "I can't believe Jason really fell your kind, you're not even pretty.""After all, your kind is known for being thieves." Alice said as a comeback but I wasn't even affected instead I was disgusted."It was only a matter of time before you brought race into this conversation, you talk about being civilized? You talk about being black?" I scoffed."Please..""Instead of talking about my skin color, maybe you s
