Chapter 2 - Responsibilities

“Where were you?” Samantha says as soon as I walk through the door. She walks to the entryway to look at me. I put my keys in the key bowl at the door and look at her. She’s in her underwear; I guess she was in the middle of getting dressed.

She looks amazing, Sam is one of those girls that are obsessed with looking good. She spends a lot of time making sure she looks incredible. She goes to the gym, gets all types of treatments to make sure everything stays in place. I appreciate that about her, she’s a beautiful girl.

I look at her up and down my cock getting hard. I have pent up energy left over from last night. I could just relive myself with her. She’s not who all of this loving was for but she’ll have to do.  

“I had to get some air.” I say taking a step closer to her. I get excited at the anticipation of getting naked with her.

“But I waited all night.” She says whining. I feel my body get colder, I hate it when she uses that voice on me. That small voice crying sound gets on my nerves. I walk around her and head to my bedroom. I don’t have the energy to do this with her right now. My body hurts from sleeping from Mel’s sofa. I need a hot shower to get rid of the kinks and knots. I don’t even want to talk about the headache I have from my hangover. I don’t why I went so hard last night and to add to that I’m on the middle of the championship season. I let my personal life interfere with my game, that’s unacceptable.  

“Why are you ignoring me? I hate that you do this. You did the same thing last night. You left me standing here while I was trying to share my feelings with you. You ignored me.” She says following me into the bedroom.

“I don’t want to do this right now.” I say getting out of my dirty clothes. I will never drink again in my life. The aftermath is not worth the pain. My head is throbbing and this conversation is not helping at all.

“If not now, when?” She asks when I get into the adjoining bathroom. She follows me in here too.

“We’ll talk when I get back from practice.” I say turning on the shower. She looks at me frowning. I get out of my underwear and step into the shower.

“Am I supposed to just wait for you, like I did last night?” She asks whining again.

“Samantha, please.” I say annoyed.  I listen to hear if she says something but there’s nothing. Just silence, did she leave? I don’t have time for this.

I sigh and look up at the water and let it wash over me. The water is scotching hot but I wish it was hotter. My muscles are aching, my head is throbbing. I told Mel not to make me sleep on that damned sofa but she didn’t want to listen now I have to go to rugby practice with sore muscles.

 I step out of the shower a few minutes later feeling slightly better. My phones pings, I dry myself off first and head back to the bedroom. I look at the text.

I’m not feeling good at, how am I going to stand up straight throw out practice. I wish I could call in sick but I won’t. A hangover doesn’t qualify as being sick.

Coach:

Practice has been moved to 7 pm. Don’t be late.

I smile and thank the heavens for this small mercy. I needed this; I don’t think I would have been able to survive today’s practice.  I can take a nap for a bit and then go to the gym later. My first class today is not until 1 pm. I don’t need to rush; a nap is going to do me good.

I down the bottle of water I keep on my side table; this should start me off on my restoration process. No more alcohol for me.

I put on lotion to make sure my skin doesn’t dry out and get into bed naked. I relax into the bed letting my muscles rest.  I’m going to be a new man when I wake up from this nap.

I wake up a 45 minutes later feeling a whole lot better. I get out of bed getting dressed to go to the gym; I have a lot to do before my first class. Thankfully my building has a gym so I don’t need to go all the way to campus to get a workout in.

When I get to the Gym I put my headphones and switch off from the world. I get in the zone letting my mind connect to every movement. Working out may be hard but it helps me focus and on days like this it helps me heal.

 When I’m done with the workout I head back to my apartment. My phone pings announcing the arrival of the 100th text today.  

Samantha:

I know you’re under a lot of stress with school and soccer. I should have been less understanding and less demanding. I just get frustrated when you shut down.

 I’m sorry. I promise to be more patient with you.

I love you

X

I read the text and sigh. I knew if I gave her a few hours to think herself over she would come around.

Knox:

Cool

I text her back relieved she came around , I really don’t want to be having deep and heart to heart conversations with her. I hate talking; I’m only interested in having a good time with her. If she can’t give me that I’ll find someone else who will. I have enough shit to stress about.

I look at the clock, it’s almost 11 am I have an hour and a half before I have to leave for my class. I make a breakfast bowl and a protein shake for a very late breakfast.

I sit at my desk and go through my study notes as I eat. I like to be prepared for my classes; as a matter of fact I love to be prepared for everything. I love order and I love to plan everything. I thrive in an environment where there is order.

I approach my studies with order and focus, and so far I have been able to keep my studies on the right path. I have a full academic scholarship and I’m on the dean’s list. Rugby is the second most important thing on my list, I apply the same strategy I use in my academics to rugby, I am the captain of the university team and we’re the reigning champions of the Varsity cup.

There is only one aspect of my life I let go wild and that is my love life. I like to have freedom when it comes to who I fuck. I want to distress when I’m with a woman, I don’t want to be with someone that will restrict me and be demanding. I use up all of my energy on the rugby field, all I have left when I meet a woman is a good time.

 Samantha was that for me for a very long time. She understood what I needed and she was always ready and willing.

She and I met when we were kids. Our parents decided they wanted us to get married when we were older. They want to build an “empire,” two rich families creating a bond of money and blood. I knew from a very young age that, that is my reality.

 I dated other girls knowing it would never go anywhere beyond sex and I was okay with that. My father raised me to understand my responsibilities. But the older we got Samantha got restless; she didn’t want me to date other people. So decided we should date, I agreed to it because it was exciting and she’s gorgeous.

It worked for a while; I was concentrating on school while she was the supportive girlfriend. She understood my needs and never interfered but lately she’s become different.

 She wants more she says. What’s up with this wanting more?

 I give everything.  I give her my time, my love and I spoil her. What more can I give her?

She knows I’m committed to her because our parents made it that way. I don’t understand why she’s being so demanding. We have our whole lives to live together and nag one another; right now I need my peace.

At 12:45 I pack my bag and head out. I don’t want to be late for class.

    6:45 pm The team is already on the field warming up. We all know that when coach says practice is at 7 he means 6:30. You better not be caught late, you will regret it. He doesn’t take kindly to tardiness.

For us the championship never stops as soon as we win that cup, we’re already defending it. Every game counts, we give our all every game. We didn’t become champions by mistake.

    I get home from my shift a little after 10 pm. I had a shorter shift tonight. I need to take a shower and eat. I head for the bathroom using the last of my energy to get clean. I few minutes I’m done’ I head to the kitchen to figure what to eat. There really isn’t anything to eat in this house.Knock, knock, knock.I hear when I open the fridge. I look at my front door, who could be at my door at this time. I walk to it and look through the peephole. I sigh in disappointment; I don’t have the energy to go through this again.“What do you want Knox?” I ask when I see his face. Why is he back here? I thought he got the massage last night.“I come in peace.” He says holding up a bag of take away. I look at the logo on the bag, its Chinese; my favorite. He’s playing a dirty game; he knows how much I love Chinese. “I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night, it was unacceptable.&r

    “Knox came over to my house again last night.” I whisper to Casey. We’re in her bedroom in an apartment. We just got done with a study session. We have these sessions at least once a week; it always helps to have a study partner. It always gives an opportunity to see the material from a different perspective.“He did what? Wait why are we whispering?” She asks whispering too.“You have a roommate and I don’t want her to overhear our conversation.” I continue whispering.“She’s not here, she has class on campus and if you don’t want to say his name you can just say him. I’ll know who you’re talking about.” She says talking normally.“Okay, he came over. I don’t know how to make him stop doing this. I’ve asked nicely, I’ve screamed at him and I’ve even kicked him out but he just won’t stop. I don’t know what to d

    “Are you okay?” Michael asks me when I freeze in place. Knox is here right now. I didn’t expect to see him tonight, what is he even doing in this part of town. He’s sitting at a table with some guy I’ve never seen before. He’s not one of the usual guys Knox hangs out with.He’s looking at me completely ignoring his companion. The other guy is eating, while Knox is drinking water. He’s not having any pizza. Maybe that’s why he’s staring at me instead of concentrating on his conversation with his friend. He’s mad he can’t have any pizza and he’s taking it out on me.“What? Yes, I’m good.” I say and start walking to an empty table.“You’re sure?” He asks pulling a chair out for me. I sit down and look up; Knox is still staring at us. Michael sits down and his head is blocking Knox but I can still feel his eyes on us.

    “Hi are you Melody?” A Samantha says standing in front of me. I look up at her and she smiles. My heart is in my throat, she and I have never met but I know who she is. Why is she here? Does she know who I am? “Yes.” I say smiling back at her too but I am dying on the inside. What if she decides to pull my hair here in the middle of the campus coffee shop? “I’m Samantha; I heard you’re a tutor.” She says pulling out a chair and she sits down. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. This a scenario from one of my nightmares and it ends badly. I don’t want to die for a boy that’s not even mine. “Oh yes. Are you looking for a tutor?” I ask looking at her, she’s so beautiful. Her face is perfect. Why is Knox bothering with me? She has a perfectly perfect girl right here? “Yeah, I’m looking for a chemistry tutor and someone referred me to you.” she says and I nod. I do chemistry and mathematics tutoring. I always have a full schedule because people

    “Tell me everything.” Casey says when she walks through my door. The moment she says the words, I break out in a smile. Last night was incredible; Michael really put thought and effort in our first date. I had such a good time; no one has ever done that for me.“Oh, Casey. Las night was so much fun. We went to dinner at this amazing restaurant, the food was exquisite. And then he took me dancing. You know how much I love ballroom dancing; he booked a beginner class for us. He was surprised when I showed him my skills.” I say smiling and Casey looks at me with a look of bliss on her face.“That sounds amazing! I’m so happy you had fun. Did you guys kiss?” she asks rubbing her hands together excitedly.“No. we didn’t, there were so many moments we could have but I wasn’t brave enough to make a move. And I didn’t want to seem forward so I chickened out.” I say worried and she smiles at me sweet

    “How was your day?” Samantha says looking at me. She’s sitting opposite me on my sofa I yawn tired, today was interesting. It certainly didn’t go the way I planned it.“Today was a long day” I say thinking about my run in with Melody a few hours ago. How she stormed out of the coffee shop. I imagined that conversation going so much differently than it did.“You’re tired.” She asks reaching her hand out to brush my leg softly.“You could say that.” I say really thinking about it. I’m not tired physically, I’m just feeling beat. I feel like I’m losing Melody and I hate it. I want her all to myself and the addition of this new dude is fucking up my flow.I want him gone. His being around is making her more and more resistant to my advances. She was always against us hooking up but she wasn’t blatantly rejecting me. She’s different now.I know this is not fa

    “Hi” Samantha whispers when she finds me in the romance novel section of the library. I look at her instantly annoyed, what does she want? I’m not in the mood to deal with anyone that is associated with Knox. I’m so mad at him that I’m hating on anyone or anything that reminds me of him.I pick up a book with a beautiful cover and read the title trying to ignore her.The prince’s willing slave.That sounds like an interesting read. A few second of silence pass and I realize she’s not leaving I look at her and she smiles.“Hey.” I whisper back to her and turning back to the selection books on the shelf. She really doesn’t know how to take a hint. I don’t want to talk t her and I’m sure I’m making it clear but she isn’t interested in my feelings.“I’m back.” She says and I look at her confused. Is that supposed to mean something to me?

    “I know your favorite thing to do right now is to sleep.” Knox says into the silence. I stand in the doorway and watching him holding our son. He has his back to me so he can’t see me eavesdropping on his conversation with his son. My eyes water at the beautiful sight, he’s taken so well to being a father. I knew he would be great at it but it blows my mind how much heloves being a father. I don’t have to ask him to do anything. He knows exactly what his child needs. I wasn’t surprised when I woke up from our nap and Asa wasn’t next to me. I bet Knox came up to our room as soon as he got home. He misses his son like crazy when he’s not home. If it was up to him, he would stay home and devote his whole life to our child. But he can’t do that, he has tgousands of people that rely on him. They need him to show up at work so they can have jobs too. The dedication he has to his family takes my breath away. He makes sure that his child is loved in every way.

    “Are you okay?” Knox says walking into the bathroom. I’m bent over the toilet, vomiting my guts out. I’ve been having morning sickness for a while now and I’m not happy. “I read somewehere that ginger helps with morning sickenss. Let me get you some.” He says walking away. I listen to him walk away. He’s been annoying the hell out of me with his rememdies and pregnancy facts since he found out we’re having a baby. But I have to admit for once I appreciate his obsession. I would give anything to make this stop. I came home about half an hour ago and I’ve been hurdled over this toilet since. I thought morning sickness was for the morning and that’s it but not. Imagine my surprise when this happened during a meeting in the middle of the day. I flush the toilet and sit on the wall next to the toilet. I don’t want to move from here. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to vomit in a minute or two. Knox and I should have thought about this a little harder before we decided to engage in bab

    My ex wife is sitting opposite me at one of her favorite restaurants in the city. She looks perfect. She doesn’t have a hair out of place; she’s staring at me with a look of hope in her eyes. She’s looking at me like she won the lottery. When I look at her face I see my past. I don’t see anything beyond this conversation. The only woman I want is Melody. I’ve never been surer about something like I am about my love for Mel. I feel bad that Samantha is looking at me like that. I can tell she thinks I’m here because there’s still something between us. “Thank you for meeting me.” Samantha says smiling at me. “I didn’t think we would ever see each other after everything that happened.” She adds looking away but she’s still smiling. After my talk with my father I had a lot to think about. I realized I owed her at least one last conversation. I might have moved on but she clearly needs to talk to me. I want to go into this next chapter of my life with no attachments. And no matter how I

    “Is it weird that I want to pick out the baby’s name already?” Knox says kissing my belly. This man is obsessed with his baby. That’s all he wants to talk about, he’s constantly asking me random questions about pregnancy, birth and anything else that comes to mind. “Are you pretending you didn’t hear what I said?”I ask looking down at Knox. He doesn’t want me to go back home. But I need to; I haven’t seen my siblings in two days. I feel bad for leaving them alone for so long. I know they’re grown and they can take care of themselves but I can’t pretend they don’t live with me. I have to be a good sister and make sure they’re okay. I know they love it when I give them their space but I need to check in on them. “I’ll drive you home when we’re done here.” He says kissing me over and over again. Of ‘course Knox wants me with him all the time, I want the same thing but as long as we have two different households that’s going to be a little difficult. I need to make sure all the people i

    The dinner party is over. Knox’s grandfather opened his expensive gifts. Olive and her father left, done for the night. It’s just Knox, me and his mother left. We’re back in the living room enjoying a late night drink. I’m having tea while everyone else is having alcohol. I have to admit, this being pregnant this has its drawbacks. On a stressful night like this a glass of wine would have come in handy. If I sip on the tea slow enough I swear I can taste the wine. If I’m going to be required to attend these awkward family events, it’s going to be a very long 9 months. I can’t imagine getting through them sober. “Are you ready to go home?” Knox says touching my belly softly. I look up at him smiling. I can feel his mother’s eyes on me. She’s been eying me the whole night. She hasn’t said a word to me but she had her eyes on me the whole time. It was creepy in the beginning but I don’t care anymore. If she has something to say to me she should shout. I won’t let her intimidate me wi

    “Mel, you look so pretty. Look at you.” Olive says when I walk into her grandfather’s house. It’s pouring outside and I had to run into the house while Knox parks the car. We’re at his grandfather’s town house. Knox says this is the house he uses when he wants to host extravagant parties. And of ‘course his birthday is one of them. “Thank you, you look beautiful as always.” I say giving her a hug. She giggles as I squeeze her closer, I’m so glad to see her here. I need all the support I can get if I’m to face her parents. “Thank you. I feel beautiful as always.” She says smiling at me. “Melody, how nice to see you.” Knox’s grandfather says walking to the entryway. “You know I barely recognized you. I can’t believe how much you kids have grown.” He says looking at me surprised. “And you look like you haven’t aged a day, happy birth day by the way.” I say smiling at him. We hug as he laughs at my comment on his age; or lack thereof. “You don’t have to lie to an old man. I know I’v

    “Casey seems to be in love with you.” I say looking at Knox peeling a papaya. I shift forward in my stool so I can be closer to his plate. I’m sitting on the opposite side of the island, so it’s hard for me to get my hands on it. He’s been at this for the last five minutes; he’s taking his precious time to peel the whole thing. The moment he started peeling it my taste buds went crazy. The bright orange color is making me want to bite into it with the peels. “I think I’m in love with her too.” He says cutting the peeled pieces into even smaller pieces. I reach out taking a piece off of the plate he’s cutting them on. I don’t what know what happened but as soon I found out about the pregnancy I had a rush of an appetite. I want to eat everything I see. It’s like my body knows I need to eat for two. “Don’t tell her that or she’ll ask to move in with you.” I say throwing the piece into my mouth. I moan in appreciation at the taste. It’s so sweet. I reach out to take another piece and

    10 minutes before “I’m confused. Why are you taking a pregnancy test?” Casey asks sitting the bath tub in my bathroom. I look at her with a look of concern on my face. I’m stressed out to the 100th degree. I can’t believe I’m here, with a pregnancy test. I’m sitting on my toilet, feeling all types of embarrassment. I survived all of my teenage years without taking a pregnancy test. I know it’s not a big deal but it’s embarrassing that I’m doing this as an adult. I’m so mad at myself for being careless with Knox. I didn’t even think about using protection with him. I didn’t even think about the possibility of getting pregnant. I just went in blind, I wasn’t thinking at all. This has to go down as the dumbest mistake I ever made. This wasn’t part of the plan, I wanted to take time and fall in love again, have fun, relearn each other. How are we supposed to do that with a baby? “Well I know why you’re taking the pregnancy test. I just mean what happened, when and most importantly wi

    “Hi Mel.” Samantha says staring at me when I open the door. The smile on my face slowly fades; I go from excitement to shock. How did she get up to my apartment? Why wasn’t I told she was coming up? The front desk should have let me know when she arrived. I look at her on alert. I look into her eyes trying to figure out if she has any animosity. The second I saw her at y door, the word murder pops into my head. Why else would she be here? Surely she came to kill me for taking her love from her. I have so many questions right now. The one that’s nagging me the most is; how does she know where I live? I look behind her expecting to see Knox. He’s supposed to be here instead of her. Maybe they are playing a sick game on me. Knox wouldn’t tell her where I live; he believes Samantha would never bother us. So much for his promises. “How are you here?” I ask looking at her suspiciously. I don’t know what’s going on here, I feel ambushed. I hate when people show up unannounced at my door. T
