Eve.."Oh Ethan!" I said the moment I saw him squatting by the toilet stall.I pulled him into my embrace and he sobbed softly."Let it out.." I whispered as I rubbed his back in circles. After few minutes, he stopped crying and pulled away."Are you alright?" I asked and he nodded.He got up from his position and stood properly."Should we take a walk?" He asked with a sad smile.I nodded and got up too.The campsite was quite big so it was easy to walk around.There were a lot campers too, some people came alone, a few of them were couples and a few others were family of four or more. Most people came with their kids and the kids ran around the camp fires giggling and laughing at whatever. I found them quite adorable. I noticed Ethan staring intently at a particular blonde boy who looked like he was about four years old. The young boy was the only one who wasn't running around the camp fire, he simply sat down a bit far away from the others and stared at the fire. Maybe he found i
Jason..A few minutes after Eve left to look for Ethan."Here." I said extending my ear piece to max."What?" He snapped and i rolled my eyes."So cranky." I hissed."I'm not cranky." He said in a loud voice."Yeah yeah.." I sneered provoking him further."I don't know what Eve sees in you." He mumbled and i scoffed."I'm a dashing young man." I said confidently."I'm a dashing young man." Max mimicked in a high pitched voice and i laughed."I don't sound like that." I groaned."Yeah, you don't." He laughed and i smacked him playfully."Ouch!" He said laughing hard."Why are you laughing?" I asked laughing now because his laughter is contagious."It's funny." He said still laughing."What is?" I asked smiling now."You said you don't sound like that when that's exactly how you sound." He said amidst his laughter."Is that how I sound?" I asked with a straight face."No." He said truthfully."That's great then." I sighed in relief."You still don't want it?" I asked extending the ear p
Eve...I groaned in frustration for nth time.We were currently at a bowling alley where Jason and Max have been going at it for the last two hours.I don't know why Max agreed to this anyways. He sucked at bowling so much.Looking at them, it was more like two of them were couples with the way they were bickering over everything.They were acting like old married couples.Jason was currently beating Max, four to zero but he still insisted that he was going to win."Can you both just stop it?" I yelled loudly bringing attention to myself from the entire court. "Sorry." I said apologetically once I noticed people were staring at me in annoyance."Stop it please!" I whisper-yelled."One last time Eve, I'm gonna beat Jason at this,just this once." Max begged me. I groaned and walked away in defeat. There was nothing I could do now.I looked at Jason who stood there with a smug smile waiting for Max to lose again. He seemed to be enjoying himself.If only he knew that Max was a badass at
Eve.I closed my eyes as I screamed loudly in fear."Eve!" I heard the voice again but it was familiar.It wasn't the helmet man and his side kick. It was Jade and Patricia. Ugh! "You scared me!" I yelled in a broken voice."We didn't mean to." Jade said apologetically."I..." "I.."I stuttered as I was unable to form words. I felt a lump in my throat and my hands were still shaking in fear."Eve.." Patricia called softly and that was when I broke into sobs."We're so sorry." She said apologetically but I sobbed even more."I was so scared, I thought I was going to die!" I said loudly as I sobbed harder."We're so sorry, we'll never try to scare you again." Jade said quietly.They both tried to help me stand but my legs were weak and wobbly."Can you walk?" Jade asked and i shook my head."Okay, we'll help you." He said and put his arms around my shoulders.Patricia did the same.I was in the middle with my arms around their shoulders and one of theirs around mine too I looked aro
Alice..Ring ring ring.I could hear the sound of my ringtone resonating in the entire shop from where it was being charged."Ma'am, your phone is ringing." One of the apprentice said as she brought my phone to me.I was currently at the salon making my hair and doing my nails. Nothing brings me joy these days so I thought I needed a new look.The look I'm going for is the one that would sweep anyman off his feet. One that can seduce even the president of the United States. That's over the top but that's exactly what I'm going for. A look that says - I'm here! I looked at the ringing but it was an unknown number, there was no caller ID. I groaned loudly. Some people really need to learn."Hello." I said as I picked up the ringing phone."It's Mark." Mark's annoying voice sounded over the phone."Mark?" I scoffed."Why don't you just stick to one number?" I groaned in frustration."Well, I.." He paused and tut."That's not the issue right now, I've got the juice." He said laughing.
Jason..We were currently on our way to get food from a fast food restaurant that was close by."What did you guys do to Eve?" I asked jade and Patricia who were walking beside me."We simply pulled a prank." Jade said again and I nodded."I believe you." I said truthfully.But I couldn't wrap my head around it.Are people truly affected by scare prank that much that they cry and shiver like one who've seen a ghost?Is that even possible?That a prank can scare someone shitless?"What should we get?" I asked changing the topic so they can feel relaxed. But I wasn't relaxed at all.I was very worried. I'm worried that there's something I don't know.Because there's something I didn't tell Eve. I didn't tell her what truly happened the day Alice came to my office.Because as at then, I simply took it as a groundless threat.Flash-back.I heard a knock on my door and without waiting for me to give permission, the door opened. "Eve, did you forget something?" I asked raising up my head
Eve.After Jason had left with the others, Max bombarded me with questions."Eve, what's really going on?" He asked and I shrugged.He got up from where he sat with Ethan and came to sit by my side. Ethan simply watched us in confusion."What's going on?" "Is someone after you?" He asked and I smiled."No, stop asking absurb questions." I said quietly. I was no longer scared nor shivering. So it wasn't hard for me to speak up."Then why were so you scared?" Max asked again and I sighed heavily."I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who has been scared out of their wits so why are you so bothered about it." I said in a snappy voice hoping it would make him back down but he seemed unfazed."Yeah but I know you, you hardly get scared so what's different now?" Max countered."I'm no longer like that, you know change is drastic." I said tilting my head and smiling."I know what you're hiding." Max suddenly said and I laughed."Hiding?" I scoffed."What could I possibly be hiding?" I as
Jason.."Jade, you can take the van along with Patricia, I called someone to bring my car." I said to jade who simply nodded, grabbed his bags and walked away with Patricia.We were done with our lunch and ready to leave."Just do the right thing before it's late." Max said to Eve who shrugged in response.I'm sure Max knows something and I'm going to find out what that thing is."Let's go?" I said as I turned to face Eve with a smile on my face."Yeah." She said and placed her smaller hands in mine. We walked hand in hand along with Max and Ethan until we got to the car park where Ethan parked his car."We'll see tomorrow." Ethan said to Eve as they shared a hug."Later dork." I said to max who smirked in response."Bye." Eve said giving Max a hug but the hug was an awkward one.We walked away to where my car was now parked and Eve started small talk along the way."How do you plan on getting those tickets?" She asked quietly."Oh, I have a friend that works in big hit, I'm sure he c
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
