Nathaniel I was called into James office, it sounded serious."You called?""Have a seat, Nathaniel." Since we met, he only calls me Nathaniel when he's angry."What's got you in a bad mood.""I received an envelope with pictures of you and my daughter kissing and getting a bit too steamy!""James I-" There was a slam on the desk."My daughter!?" He threw everything on his desk, "She's only nineteen, how could you do this to me!?""I love Selena, she's everything to me.""If you love her like you say you do, you will leave her alone. Don't make me call the cops. I know there was more than just kissing.""She's not a minor.""Still, you're twelve years older than her. let her go, she needs someone her own age."Leaving Selena behind was going to be hard, but James is right. "Fine, you win. I'll leave her alone." I sighed in defeat."I'm not firing you, because you're the vice president and have helped me a lot here.""That's fine. I have offers in line. One is in Italy. Thanks for eve
I spent a lot of my time in my apartment. It's class and then home. I don't feel like going out. I barely eat or sleep.Every time I close my eyes, Nate comes to mind. Wish he never left. I just hope when he comes back, that's if he does, he won't be with a girl.I went to my parent's house. I was greeted by my sister."Hey, sis." She gave me a hug."Hey, Mia." I gave her a faint smile."You don't have to pretend with me. I know you're hurting.""I am." Tears started to fall, lately, crying is all I do. "Are you alone?""Mom is taking a shower and dad is out, on a business trip.""I see, he hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks. He never has time.""He's just busy, dad is always busy.""I guess." I shrugged. I don't know why he's being like this with me.6 months later Dad was cold with me, no signs of Nate. What else can go wrong?"Miss Jacobs, you won't be graduating this year with us. You failed in three classes."I spoke too soon, "I don't care. This is just another bump in my road." Wi
We went to the living room and sat on the couch."I don't want to have you mad at me, and I'm sorry I didn't talk to you for 6 months.""That hurt so much." I cried."I'm very sorry for that. I just couldn't process the fact, my daughter was having a relationship with my best friend, who's older than you. ""I love him and that will never change." I sobbed, "Maybe he was older than me, but we weren't just fooling around, we were in love, dad." at this point I was crying uncontrollably."I'm sure a new love will come soon. And then you will realize that Nathaniel wasn't the one for you.""I doubt that, Nate will always be the love of my life."He just sighed, "Let's talk about you failing college.""It doesn't matter, nothing matters anymore.""You can go back next year, not everything is lost, little monkey." He wiped my tears, "Where's that girl that was always smiling and had no problem calling me a tool."I chuckled as tears were falling. "I feel so lost, dad." I hugged him as tear
I've been hanging out with Isaac a lot; Today was our sort of date at the carnival. Chrissy told me that it was okay, she wasn't mad that I was going out with Isaac. She's actually joining us with Leo.There was a knock on my door, I went to open it and it was Isaac. We said hi and motioned him to come inside."I thought we were going out at 7?" I asked him as we walked to the living room."Well, I thought why not have lunch together too. But if you have other plans, lunch can wait.""Lunch can never wait." I chuckled."Good, because I already bought your favorite.""I never told you my favorite food.""I asked your mom." He smiled.I just chuckled, "Then let's eat Chinese food, cause I'm starving."Mom invited Isaac for dinner three days ago, my parents like him a lot, they say he's a great guy for me. I already had a great man in my life."You okay? you zoned out.""I'm fine, I was just wondering if you were going to eat that spring roll." I told him, he just chuckled."All yours."
Time flew by, today marks 2 years since Nate left. I did give Isaac a chance, we've been together for a year. I was happy with him. He also gave me a promise ring, I accepted. I also finished college and with honors.We were in his living room watching a movie, his hand traced the ring he gave me."One day I will replace it." He smiled."And I might accept it." I giggled.He pinned me down and started to tickle me. "Kidding, I'll say yes." I laughed."That's more like it." He smirked.He started to kiss my neck and then his hand went to my chest area. He removed my top and bra and started to kiss me. things became heated and clothes came off, he placed protection and slid inside me. He took me right here on his couch. Sex with Isaac is fun."I love hearing you moan my name." He told me."That's because you send me to oblivion." I chuckled."I love you, doll.""I love you too." I smiled."I have to go to the station; I'll be back later.""And I'll go visit my parents." I told him.We d
The next few days, I could've sworn I saw him. Am I going crazy?I was at Chrissy's house, since her parents went on business trip for a week. I've been staying here."Chrissy, tell me the truth, is your brother back? I keep seeing him.""Yes, he got back a few days ago.""Why didn't you tell me?""Because, Isaac is a nice guy, and I didn't think you would want to see Nate, since he left you." She sighed."Where is he staying?""We don't know, he bought a house, but he told me he has to leave again for a month.""Ugh, your brother is such a pain in the ass, I will find him and send him to hell." I was huffing.She just chuckled, "I think here's your chance." She told me while pointing at the front door.I turned around and saw him. Fuck, he got sexier, His hair was a bit longer, and his beard, I love how it looks on him. I used to stop talking to him when he shaved it, he would just laugh."I need to see Leo, see you later." With that said, she left us."After two years, you come back
I woke up the next day and saw Nate still sleeping. I grabbed my phone and saw missed calls and text from Isaac. Shit, I forgot about him with Nate.I sent him a text saying, we were having a girl's night in and that I forgot about my phone. He told me that it was okay and that he will pick me up for dinner.I felt two strong arms wrapped around my waist followed by kissed on my shoulder. Butterflies were forming. "Morning, baby girl.""Morning, tool." I smiled, he just chuckled."Come with me to Italy, it will be a month, and when we come back, we will talk to your father." He said while interlacing our fingers."It's not that simple." I sighed."It's just a promise ring, you're not engaged, and you don't love him the way you love me. What's stopping you?""Isaac is a good person, he doesn't deserve what I did.""I go back in a week, think about it. I already bought you a plane ticket.""You did?""Yes, I figured, we could talk and then convince you to come with me. But we just let o
*flashback*We were sitting on the couch and by my look, he knew something bad was going to happen."Isaac, we need to talk.""You're breaking up with me, aren't you?""I'm so sorry Isaac." I started to cry. "It's just-"He cut me, "I know, your heart is with him.""I never meant to hurt you, you're a great guy, if it weren't for you, I would've been dead now." I was crying uncontrollably.He pulled me into a hug, "All I want for you is to be happy, you will always have a special place in my heart.""I know there's a special girl out there, she's waiting for you." I said as I removed the promise ring. "Here.""Keep it, maybe it can be a promise that we can still be friends." He wiped my tears."I did love you Isaac." I sobbed."Me too, still do. Maybe one day, I will meet the one.""You will." I smiled as tears kept falling."Can I have a goodbye kiss?" He said while caressing my face. I just nodded.He leaned in and captured my lips; it was a sweet goodbye kiss."Go, you will miss yo
The next day there was a knock on the door. I went to open it and it was our families."Come in, I thought you guys were arriving at night?""Change of plans, your mama Bailey didn't want to travel at night, she gets really nervous." Mom told me."Well, I'm glad you're all here." I smiled while hugging everyone."Welcome everyone, let me show you your rooms." Nate told them."You can show the guys, I want to see my little princess." Nana Sophia said as she spotted Alena playing with Snowy. Mama Bailey followed her."Hey sis." I turned to see Mia with Alejandro. They got engaged last year."I missed you." I hugged her; I gave Alejandro a hug too."Babe, go see where our room is, I want to play with my niece and that cute puppy." She told him before making a run.We just chuckled, "Nate is upstairs, ask him where your room is." He just nodded and made his way up."Just two more months and then I will be able to walk normal." I turned to see Chrissy walking in with Isaac."Hey guys, glad
A year has passed, a beautiful year filled with good and bad moments, but the good ones, won. Our wedding was simple yet beautiful.Alena was a year old. I couldn't believe she grew up so fast. She was named by Nate. He told me that when he texted me, it would autocorrect to Alena. I laughed at that, but I like the name.Isaac and Chrissy got married and are now expecting a baby boy. They were over the moon when they found out. I was happy for them; they deserve to be happy.I was in the kitchen making lunch with my left arm while I was holding Alena with my right arm. She was babbling while I was cooking. She likes to be held, she's in that phase where she cries if she's alone.Alena is a mini me, she has our blue eyes and my natural hair color, which is brown chestnut. I just dye it blonde. But I changed it to my natural hair now. Nate says he loves how it looks on me, and so do I. I missed the old me."I'm home." Nate announced and Alena started to move like crazy in my arms. Nate
The next day, I went to work. Except I woke up late and traffic was crazy. Hopefully my boss won't get mad. He hates tardiness."Miss. Jacobs. You're late. And you know what that means?" My boss said."That you will give me a second chance?""No, you're fired!""I was just twenty minutes late.""Well, I don't tolerate tardiness. Now get the fuck out of my studio." He grabbed my arm really hard and push me out of his studio. I fell on the floor. He entered immediately."What the-" I looked up to see dad."Hey dad." I tried so hard to not cry."What happened? and no lies."I told him what happened and he was not happy. I tried to stop him but he went inside and.."No one fucking treats my daughter that way! I'll make sure you get what you deserve!" With that said, he punched him.He took me to the hospital just to make sure the baby and I were okay. And indeed, we were. Lucky the fall wasn't too hard and I didn't land on something sharp."I'm glad I came to see you, I wanted to surprise
I was pacing all morning, I missed talking to mom about everything. But the whole me dating Nate was something I couldn't just talk to her about it. especially cause he's older than me."You know what, whatever happens, I know I have you. So here goes nothing." I told Nate."I'll give you some privacy. I'm going to buy some chocolates." He pecked my lips and then left the room.I dialed her number and then paced some more."Hello?""Hey mom, It's Selena." I enable the camera."Little monkey, I miss you. When are you coming back?""In three days, I have some news. But I prefer to tell them in person.""So, how is it going with Nate in Paris?" She gave me a look."You know I'm not in Hawaii?""We know, your dad is not happy." She sighed."I love my dad, but Nate is my happiness. I think I deserve to be happy.""Yes, you do. I wasn't thrilled at first, but I don't want to lose you, Nate is a great guy." She smiled as I smiled too."I love you so much mom, I've missed talking to you." I c
We arrived at the hotel in Paris and they gave us the key to our room. I couldn't wait to start exploring the city of love."Welcome to, Paris, baby girl.""I can't believe we're here." I squealed. He just chuckled."Well believe it. A trip you will never forget." He placed a soft kiss on my lips."Where are we going today?""Explore Paris, get lost in the city of love and then come back and make love to you." He caressed my face."Sounds perfect." I smiled. "Nate, we're always going to be together, right?""Yes, till my last breath." He pulled me into a kiss."Okay, when we go back home, promise me we will fight to be together. No more running away.""I promise, Selena. And if they're not on board, then we have each other which is enough." He smiled."I agree." I told him as tears were falling. Pregnancy has me very emotional."I can't wait for our baby to arrive, I'm very excited." I told him while rubbing my belly."Me too. In eight more months, we will have baby Salgado in our han
*flashback*We were sitting on the couch and by my look, he knew something bad was going to happen."Isaac, we need to talk.""You're breaking up with me, aren't you?""I'm so sorry Isaac." I started to cry. "It's just-"He cut me, "I know, your heart is with him.""I never meant to hurt you, you're a great guy, if it weren't for you, I would've been dead now." I was crying uncontrollably.He pulled me into a hug, "All I want for you is to be happy, you will always have a special place in my heart.""I know there's a special girl out there, she's waiting for you." I said as I removed the promise ring. "Here.""Keep it, maybe it can be a promise that we can still be friends." He wiped my tears."I did love you Isaac." I sobbed."Me too, still do. Maybe one day, I will meet the one.""You will." I smiled as tears kept falling."Can I have a goodbye kiss?" He said while caressing my face. I just nodded.He leaned in and captured my lips; it was a sweet goodbye kiss."Go, you will miss yo
