AURELIA'S P.O.VIt's been a few days since dinner with Cooper along with a much needed sexcapade. Celia would be arriving any moment from now for girls night and for us to catch up, we had been apart for far too long. Celia and I were roommates in college and bestfriends up till date, and even though we worked at the same hoapital it still felt like we had grown apart lately. If Celia wasn't at work then she was with Ralph hence our need for a girls night. Truth be told I missed her. I appreciated having these nights as it helped us pour out our mind to each other, helped strengthen our friendship which I was grateful for. I had just finished setting up my room for our movie night when I heard the front doorbell ring. I had stocked up on lots of snacks and ice-cream, getting myself the French vanilla with strawberry, chocolate chip and cookie dough for Celia.Walking over to the front door, I swing it open to be met with Celia who grinned excitedly when she saw me."Heyyyyyyyyyy, I'v
AURELIA'S P.O.VPanting heavily with my hands resting on my knees, I huff and puff trying to catch my breathe. It was the weekend which meant I didn't have to go to work so I decided to go out for an early morning jog to let out some steam as it'd been quite a while since I last jogged, i needed to clear my head. As I regained my breath, clarity returned to me, I felt considerably better after my exercise... I felt lighter. Trotting into the kitchen, I fetch myself a glass of water which i readily gulped while I mentally prepared for the day ahead. While I held nothing against my soon to be mother-in-law, in fact I found her quite pleasing, color me surprised when I received a call from her yesterday requesting to meet up for lunch. In her words, 'it was necessary for us to have some mother-daughter bonding time'. Firstly, I was surprised as to how she had my number to which she clarified that Cooper gave it to her...right.Anyhoo, I wasn't left with much of a choice seeing as I was t
THORNE'S P.O.VSitting alone at the open balcony, a glass of whisky on the table and a cigarette in between my fingers which I bring up to my lips, taking a drag and then exhaling the smoke into the night air, I think back to my encounter with the black haired beauty whom had occupied a spot in my mind, Aurelia. I recalled how flushed she looked, the way her eyes stared into mine, desire swirling in those orbs as her cheeks turned red in shyness. Her pouty lips which looked so inviting, calling me to take them in between my fingers, daring me to use it as I liked and in whatever way I pleased. Oh I had quite a few ideas to put that mouth to good use.***flashback***Unease began building within me at the thought of standing outside her door for sometime, and it seemed as if she wouldn't be opening up anytime soon knowing fully well she was home. As per her request, we agreed to meet at her home to have a more private talk but now that I think of it, she seemed to be blatantly avoiding
AURELIA'S P.O.V"Anddddd done. You can take a look now." Celia squealed, nearly bursting my eardrums. Opening my eyes slowly, my jaw drops in surprise as I stare at my reflection. Celia was too good, I looked so freaking gorgeous and I loved it. The makeup wasn't too heavy and accentuated my face perfectly, my hair was nicely done, being held together in place by pins. The past hour and a half of pain was definitely worth it but that didn't mean I was looking forward to going through it again."I-i-i, oh my God Cee, I love it." I gasped, turning to look at her, tears welling up in my eyes, "Thank you" I smiled, pulling her in for a hug while still being careful not to ruin my makeup."Awwn you're welcome love. And please no crying, I wouldn't want my hard work to get ruined, and let me tell you it was a lot of hard work." She exaggerated in a playful manner to which we both smiled."Yes ma'am. I think it's time for the dress yes?""Yeah yeah, absolutely. Just a moment." I watched as sh
AURELIA'S P.O.VStepping out of the shower wrapped in my towel, I sit in front of my vanity table before pulling out my hair dryer from one of the drawers and then blow drying my hair. Staring back at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but think if I was doing the right thing. A part of me believed that I was but then another part of me knew that I wasn't, I wasn't ready for this next step. Nevertheless, I style my hair after blow drying and then coat my face with just the right amount of make-up. Satisfied with my look, I step into my white body con strap dress and silver heels. Spritzing my perfume, I take in a deep breath as I try to alleviate my anxiety. "It's all gonna be okay Aurelia, you love Cooper...heck you've loved him since college so there should be no problem...yeah" I met Cooper when we were in College, he was a friend to my friends boyfriend. My friend Celia and her boyfriend Ralph, his friend Cooper who's now my boyfriend, and I all linked up in a bar/cl
AURELIA'S P.O.VHalfway into cutting my steak, I hear Thorne's voice, I should totally not call him that, "So Aurelia, how did you and Cooper meet?" "Well uh, it was through a friend that we met. My bestfriend's dating Cooper's friend and she suggested that we all went on a double date. Things sort of just hit off from there." Underneath the table, Cooper grabs my hand and rubs it softly as I look at him with a smile which he reciprocates."Awwn aren't they so cute." Caroline coos, and I blush in embarrassment before returning my attention back to my meal."Dad, Aurelia's actually a nurse and you wouldn't believe that she works at your hospital." My head snaps to look at him in surprise as I begin choking on a piece of meat at his words, why hadn't he ever mentioned this to me?"Easy there." Cooper rubs my back as he hands me a glass of water. "Oh really? Now that's a shocker. Beauty with brains.""I uh..I didn't know that Sir as Cooper never told me, but I must say I really love w
Aurelia's P.O.VI feel a wave of emotions rush through me as I stood alone in the comfort of my bathroom, staring at the stick which showed two very clear lines indicating I was pregnant. This couldn't possibly be happening, I had been so sure that I had used a morning after pill after that night. No no no this couldn't be happening, what would I tell Cooper? Would he even accept it? It had been exactly two weeks since the dinner I had with Cooper and his parents and we hadn't been on the best of terms, safe to say I couldn't bring up the news of this pregnancy to him. Just then, I hear the sound of my doorbell so I place the pregnancy test on the sink and head for the door. As soon as I see who's on the other side, I let out a sigh of relief to which she hurriedly pulls me in for a hug as she closes the door behind her."Hey what's wrong Lia, you sounded terrified on the phone. Are you okay? Did anything happen to you or Cooper?" Celia's questions overwhelm me and I'm unable to utter
Thorne's P.O.VSitting up in bed while resting against the bedhead, I glance down at a sleeping Caroline. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, irrespective of the fact that our marriage isn't what it used to be. There were happy times, times when we used to be madly in love, when it was just I, Caroline and our son. But things went downhill so quickly it's difficult to pinpoint when it all began. I notice her stirring awake and not wanting to be caught staring, I head into the bathroom to freshen up. The day's relatively normal with me overseeing the affairs of the hospital and soon enough I was back home getting ready to meet Cooper and his girlfriend."You clean up nice as always." I hear Caroline speak from behind me, causing me to look at her. She looked stunning as always."As do you." I say walking up to her, taking her hand in mine and bringing it closer to my lips for a kiss. "You look beautiful Care." I see her eyes soften for a moment, the wall built between us cracking b
