What do you thinks gonna happen? Will Thorne make a scene and confront Aurelia or will she be able to avoid his fury😊?
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
AURELIA'S P.O.VLaying on bed on my left side with my palm supporting my head, I can't help but nibble on my finger while staring out into space, the quiet bustle of the city reaching my ears while lost in thought. I had three months to tie the knot with Cooper, unconsciously, my eyes dart towards the direction of the shiny diamond ring sitting pretty on my bedside table, involuntarily I exhale deeply. As I continue to mule over the recent happenings, my alarm rings out snapping me out of my thoughts. Sluggishly, I drag myself out of bed making my way into the bathroom. Resting my palms on both sides of the wash-basin, I stare back at my reflection in the mirror and can't help but sigh again. I looked awful. Perhaps going to work would do me some good, take my mind off things. Taking my time, I slip under the shower allowing the cold water droplets soothe my nerves, washing away my worries for a moment. I spend about 20 minutes under the shower, just enjoying the serene calmness and
AURELIA'S P.O.VFlipping through my nursing notepad, I smile in greeting at the few familiar faces as I strolled down the hospital hall, heading to check-up on my next patient. Approaching the private room, I knock twice alerting the patient of my presence before stepping into the room. Mrs Craig lay on the bed with a novel in hand, a pleasant smile stretching across her lips as she looks at me, I return the smile."Well hello there," I greet, pulling the side stool by the corner close to her bed and then plopping on it, "How are you feeling Mrs Craig?""I'm alive, I guess that counts for something." She grins mischievously, causing me to chuckle."Yeah I guess so, have you been abiding by the doctors' rules? No sweet foods?" I give her a playful stern look. Mrs Craig had been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. She had been rushed into the hospital as a result of a heart-attack but luckily she had been stabilized. At the age of 72 I'd say she was rather strong and agile, she was a fighte
AURELIA'S P.O.VIt had been three days since Thorne's visit to the hospital and to say I was unperturbed would be an understatement of the season. If his aims were to ruffle my feathers then he had been more than successful.*Although, I cannot imagine how much more there is to see after that night Aurelia.* Those were his exact words, words which haunted me, kept me up at night which could only mean one thing. He remembered, and I had a feeling he wasn't gonna let it slide so easily.Needing to take my mind off things, I decide to get a pet to keep me company. I couldn't always depend on Celia to keep me company knowing she had her own life to manage, so I was going to get a pet....my very own baby.Soon enough, I had arrived at the pet shop and approached the lady behind the counter with a polite smile to which she returned."Hi, welcome to Milly's pet store. What can I do for you?" She chirped."Uh i'd like to get a pet.""Alright, do you have any particular pet in mind? Cats, dogs
AURELIA'S P.O.VI had chosen an armless black dress with a high slit on my left leg, which had a halter neck, paired with a white purse and transparent pointy heels. I was in no way slender or model-like, no...I was thick, borderline plus size. I had wide hips and a somewhat large bum which accentuated my thick thighs, waist not too slim and C-sized cups. I was not always the most confident about my body but I knew I looked good, better than good.Stepping out of my room once I was dressed and spritized, I walked over to Lucy who seemed to be asleep, but raised her head up to look at me upon hearing my footsteps."What do you think sweetheart? Does mommy look good?" I asked as I twirled before her, I doubt she understood what I said but still she let out a meow, walking over to me and brushing her fur on my exposed leg.Giggling, I squat as I run my fingers through her fur. She seemed to be enjoying it by the way she wagged her tail, letting out a soft purr. Just then, the doorbell r
