As I stepped through the front door, the familiar scent of home enveloped me, warm and inviting. Before I could even take a breath, I felt a small body collide with me.

“Anna!” Antonio squealed, wrapping his arms around my waist and nearly knocking me off balance.

“Hey there, Ant man!” I laughed, bending down to scoop him up into my arms. His tiny giggles filled the air, and for a moment, all my worries melted away. “I missed you! Boy have you gotten big over the past year and months.”

“I missed you too! Are you staying for a long time?” he asked, looking up at me with wide, hopeful eyes.

His face lit up with excitement. “Really? That’s awesome!”

As I set him down, I felt a wave of happiness wash over me. I was so glad to be home and to have a break from school. Ugh, now I can spend valuable time with my man......and family of course. Kristrin and I really need this time together to reconnect, just like we used to.

I stepped further into the house and spotted my parents in the livi

  • The bad boy craves me   36. My man after all.

    I sat at the kitchen counter, scrolling through Airbnb listings on my phone. My fingers hovered over the screen as I weighed my options. The disappointment from yesterday still stung, but I wasn’t going to let it ruin everything. If Kristrin couldn’t come home, then I’d just have to go to him.Just as I was about to settle on a place, Steff’s voice interrupted my thoughts. “What’s got you lookin’ all serious over there?”I glanced up to see him leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed and a smirk on his face. “Oh, uh…” I hesitated, biting my lip. “I’m thinking about booking a place near Alabama University. You know, to surprise Kristrin.”Steff raised an eyebrow, his smirk growing wider. “Ohhh, so you’re gonna pull the ‘girlfriend shows up unannounced’ card, huh? Go all out with a surprise visit?” His tone was playful, teasing in that way only Steff could pull off.I felt my cheeks warm as I fumbled with my phone. “Well, I mean… yeah, kinda.

  • The bad boy craves me   37. My one and only Kristrin.

    As Kristrin set me down, I could hear a few of his teammates calling after him, urging him to get back to practice. He didn’t seem to care, though pulling me along with him. Instead, he turned to me, his expression serious but playful. “We should get out of here.”“Are you not going back to practice?” I asked, glancing over my shoulder at the field. I didn’t want to interrupt his training or be a distraction. “I can wait if you need to—”“My woman comes first,” he said, a teasing grin spreading across his face.Heat rushed to my cheeks at his words, and I felt my heart flutter. It was moments like these that made me realize how much I missed him, and how easily he could make me blush. “Where are you staying?” he asked, taking my hand in his, as if he’d made up his mind to whisk me away.“I’m at a hotel nearby, the Renaissance Montgomery hotel.” I replied, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. I hadn’t planned on telling him so soon, but it felt good to share this part of my s

  • The bad boy craves me   38. The future.

    2 years later......"That was.....great." I heaved a heavy sigh while pulling the sheets above my chest."I think that was far more than just great Bella." Kristrin pecked my lips before laying on his back as well but not before pulling me into his arms.Spectacular was more like it!I laid flat on my back with Kristrin by my side. He was still as aggressive with me in bed as when we had just met back in highschool.I finally got to see him and to be close to him after four months apart without any physical contact. We only ever video chat and talk on the phone.His schedule was quite busy and our time together wasn't what I had expected it would be after he became more famous.Yes, Kristrin became more famous than ever while playing football and was now recruited to play for New York Giants.Our moment together was then ruined when his phone started to ring and I rolled my eyes as he got up to pick his phone up. His phone had rang about fifty times since he's been with me and that wa

  • The bad boy craves me   39. The engagement party.

    "Hiiii!" I hugged both Marco and Maurice as Steff and I picked the two up from the airport."I missed you guys so so so much!" I hugged the two tightly to me as they greeted Kyle and Steff from behind."You know we wouldn't miss being there for Steff's big wedding proposal." Maurice spoke as my smile faltered and I stepped back to look at them both."That's all?" I frowned, what a way to make me feel down inside even though I shouldn't since it was Steff's big moment after."And to also see you of course." Maurice responded pinching both of my cheeks."I watched you guys walked down the runway and it was just too beautiful." I got excited again after hearing Maurice words.I really did miss them a lot. They were always there behind me all the way, during my up's and downs. We had gotten so close now they were my family and being away from the twins reminded me of how cruel the world could be sometimes because they were always there to protect me and I could always call on them."Belie

    "Hi, come on in." I smiled at Sebastian who came all this way to see me with a cup of cappuccino in his hand early in the morning.Thank goodness, I was having an headache from drinking all night. I thought one of the twins would've been the one to bring me a cup of my favorite coffee."I believe this is for you beautiful." He handed me."Thank you." I immediately took a few sips.He smiled entering my home as I locked the door behind him. Grace and I had rented out our own home but Grace stayed with her fiance last night which meant I was alone."I assume you didn't come all this way here to compliment me on how beautiful I am Sebastian." I spoke.Sebastian and I have been doing our internship at my parents hospital, all this while we grew close to each other. He has never crossed the line with me so I saw no reason for me to be sour towards him especially since he was always nice to me.What did Kristrin have to say about it? Well he did put up a fit after finding out we were both d

  • The bad boy craves me   41. Coming forth.

    "Thanks for lying to me." I answered dryly the moment I saw Kristrin finally responding to my calls which was two days ago."Bella, I've been a lot busy lately and I'm terribly sorry, I-I'll explain everything to you once we're alone." He responded to my statement.I guess running around with a skank was more important than his own girlfriend and cousin's engagement. I'd like to see what he truly has to say when I confront him tonight about it."I hope you've remembered the family dinner in an hour." I spoke with authority not taking no for an answer, he was of course my plus one tonight."I'll be there Bella." He spoke, this time his voice was dull and void of any emotions."I hope so and I also want you there on time." I told him feeling a little off with his behavior. "Bella, you know I love you and everyone else right?" Kristrin questioned and he sounded so vulnerable on the line."Yes I do and everyone else loves you, including me." I knew in my heart he did. It's just that he w

  • The bad boy craves me   42. The last straw.

    I placed my hand up stopping everyone from coming to my aid. I didn't want their pity even though tears were pooling down my face."I would like a minute with Kristrin." I told everyone."Are you sure Anna?" Maurice asked and I could hear how concerned he was about me."Yes, please." I begged them as they all left the hall hesitantly except for Samantha.Luckily the area we were all sitting in was a secluded area that had no other guests."Including you." I spat to which she clung to Kristrin's arm at my request. My eyes stayed at the section of where her hand entangled with Kristrin's."You can't ask me to leave. They might attack me out there. I feel safer by Kristrin's side." She spoke and I tearfully laughed finding what she said funny.It was clear she was toying with me."By his side?" I looked him straight in the eye. I used to be by his side and now it was her."Samantha." Kristrin spoke removing her hand."Fine, but I'm not going outside where the others are. I'm staying here

  • The bad boy craves me   43. Confronting my emotions.

    I wiped my tears staring through the window. The stinging pain of what happened last night still too much for me to bear. I tried, god knows I tried my best to hold on to what Kristrin and I had.Cheating was one but having a child with someone else was a slap against my face for all the years I've tried with him.My eyes then connected with Grace as she silently came into my room with breakfast in her hand but my stomach was already filled with wrecking emotions to the point I just could not eat.The moment I saw her about to say something I stopped her not wanting for her to go any further."No, don't say anything about what happened last night." I told her."Oh ok, I won't." Her expression changed to that of a sad demeanor."I'm not in the mood to eat anything either." I told the two as Steff showed up next her. Whenever I'm depressed eating was always the last thing on my mind."I've relayed the message to everyone that your ok and I've also told your parents you'll be back in for

Everything was made much better by the island's unparalleled splendor.Despite missing Raine terribly, I was finally pleased; everything was perfect; I had it all, and I wouldn't have it any other way.I had agreed with Kristrin to keep out of contact with everyone at home except for my parents whenever I desperately wanted to see my daughter.I knew that Kristrin was missing his daughter as well because in his suitcase was his daughters clothes that he would smell whenever he missed her.But for me and my husband, it was all about spending quality time together on our honeymoon and I was one hundred percent i

    "Good morning, Mrs. Slovac." I laughed as I turned around to see Kristrin hugging me nakedly from behind.He pulled me flat on top of him with a smirk before softly pecking my nose and then my lips.Bora, Bora was my surprise wedding destination and I was truly in love with it."So what are our plans for today baby girl?" He inquired."Well, I was hoping we could spend today in bed together and maybe tomorrow we could go out and explore," I said as my hands gently traveled up his inked skin before stopping on his chest."How do you feel about it, my darling husband?" When I felt his hand nearing my panties, I cast a hazy glance towards him.

    I was on the edge of another breakdown when I looked in the mirror at my appearance. Time had flown by so quickly, and now it was my wedding day."Now I understand how you felt on your wedding day, Grace." My emotions were all over the place, and I hadn't felt like this since Raine was born three months earlier.I might've been planning for this day to come but I hadn't planned that I would ever be this nervous.I had everything I needed down that aisle so there shouldn't be a reason why I was this nervous."Who doesn't get nervous on their wedding day? The plus side to all of this is that after today Kristrin will be yours and forever more, you'll officially be Mrs. Slovac." I smiled.

    "Everything you'll need for Raine is in this bag; she last ate an hour ago, so she'll be hungry in approximately two hours; I'm only a phone call away if there's an emergency or anything else you need to know...""Relax, Anna; this isn't the first time we've looked after a baby; Raine will be OK; it's only for a day; we'll look after her." Kristrin's mother gave me assurance."Ok." I sighed, feeling half-empty as I watched my daughter leave."Bye, and I'll see you soon!" As she belted Raine securely and drove away, I waved longingly with a heavy heart.Kristrin's hand snaked around my waist, and I knew he felt the same way about Raine's departure without him having to say so.

    "Ok, let me repeat the rules: no whining, no telling me what to do, don't tell me what's best for me, all attention and spotlight must be focused on me, and finally, I need your support since today is my day." I advised my dearest friends and Mom about the guidelines."Ok." They all nodded except Mom, who I couldn't tell what to do because she had a habit of hitting me upside the head anytime I passed my place or did something wrong, despite the fact that I was far past the age of smacking.It was a bummer, because any smacking should have been reserved for my fiance and my ass.My parents and elders were people I admired and respected much.We went into the bridal boutique and examined at the outfits I lik

The overwhelming desire to see my lovely wife and baby girl prompting me to move forward.My mother-in-law Annabella abruptly stopped me from before I could get into my car."Mrs. Walker,""Non-sense, I'm basically your mother; call me mom, mama, or mother." She gave a pleasant smile.Hearing her remarks, I nodded my head, but I was more interested in seeing my two children."I know you're itching to visit your fiancee and baby girl, and even though your paternal leave hasn't been approved yet, I wanted to make sure you knew that since you're t

    The agony of delivering a baby was not worth having another child. No way. I expected it to hurt, but I didn't anticipate it to hurt like a bitch.Sadly, every push elicited a profanity from my mouth. Kristrin sat next to me, seated with assistance. With all of the obscenities I shouted at him, the poor thing never stopped supporting me.Finally, my child had entered the world. My bundle of joy arrived, and we were all relieved to see her. She was breathtakingly beautiful. She was a doppelganger for both her father and myself.When I saw her in the doctor's arms, I smiled with tears in my eyes."A gorgeous and healthy newborn girl." My heart swelled with pride for my baby when the doctor said so.

    One minute I was happy and then the next minute I was angry and then the next minute I was completely sad, then hungry and then crying and completely in the mood for sex.It was frustrating, Kristrin had to deal with it all. Sometimes I felt sorry for him and sometimes I just don't. I mean he was the one that knocked me the hell up.What perplexed me was the fact that he never got furious or pissed at me, showed no signs of irritation, and was always eager to meet my wants, especially when I was in the mood for sex.Kristrin placed a bag on the sofa making me snicker at him. It was my hospital bag checklist."Will you now take me to the hospital until my water breaks?" I inquired, annoyed.

    Before getting into my car, I muttered a few curse words. This was the first time I had left work without Kristrin.Kristrin wasn't at his office, and I couldn't reach him on the phone. He hadn't informed me of his plans. Despite the fact that he despised the idea of me driving, here I was, set to drive home...alone.I waited half an hour after my shift but he didn't show up and others have explained he had left before his shift ended.He was going to get it one way or another.When I heard my phone ring, I eagerly looked for it in my bag and saw that it was Kristrin who was calling; I smiled forgetting about my small quarrel."What?
