After my weekend there, I went home. I missed my home. There's nothing like being in your own house.Monday came and today I didn't have classes because there was a teacher conference. I decided to go to the diner. time is money."Good morning, Misty." I turned to see James."Are you stalking me?""Big time." He smirked, "I asked my sister about you, you intrigue me." He added while sitting at the booth."Breakfast?""Does breakfast include you?" He doesn't waste time."No, but it involves a good slap." I smiled.He just laughed, "I'll take whatever you think is the best here." He told me. I went to give the chef all the orders.I didn't understand why he was here? why was he asking about me?A few minutes later, I returned with his order. "Enjoy.""After work I will pick you up for your swimming lessons." He told me while putting sugar in his coffee."And if I refuse?""You won't." He smirked. I just gave him a look and then returned to get the other orders.After my shift was over,
It's been a month since I met the Jacobs. I really like them, they're really nice people.James comes every day at the diner. He picks me up after all my classes are over. I still think he's trouble, but I do like to hang out with him. When I'm they're house the three of us hangout. He usually joins us."You know, instead of spending your time here, you can check music schools." I told him while serving him a cup of coffee and an apple pie."I like spending time here. good food and a sexy waitress." He told me while putting me on his laps."You're invading my personal space." I told him while trying to get out of his grip."I like being like this." He said as he grabbed my face."I need to work." I told him."Alright, I'll come back later. I want to show you something." With that said he released me. "I'll bring the plate and coffee mug later." He said before leaving. I just chuckled. That's James for you."So, you and James? He's hot." Lia told me."Intense too." I sighed."Are you g
After our time at the beach cave, he took me home. I did have a great time with him."How was your date?" Mom asked me."It wasn't a date; it was just two friends hanging out.""Is that why you have a huge cheesy smile on your face." She chuckled."So, maybe I like him a little. But who knows, maybe we will go out on a date.""You never know.""Yeah. Good night mom." I gave her a hug and then went to my bedroom.I lied; I like James a lot. And it's scary, because I know he isn't the type of guy who wants to be in a relationship.The next day, I did my daily routine and went to my classes."You and James hang out a lot, is there something you want to tell me?" Emma asked me."Well, we went for a swim yesterday, but naked." I whispered."What!" She choked on air, "Misty, be careful with him.""I am being careful, we're just friends.""Friends don't swim naked, not even the closest one." She told me with crossed arms."Relax, nothing is going to happen." I assured her."Emma, can you int
After a very silent car drive, we made it to my house."Thank you for the ride.""You're welcome," She smiled. "James isn't a bad person. Just hear him out.""I don't know, I can't handle people yelling. I didn't mean to make him mad." I sobbed."I'm sure he knows it. Don't give up on him." She wiped my tears."We'll see. Good night Mrs. Jacobs." I got out of her car and waved her goodbye. I went inside my house and told my parents I would tell them tomorrow the meaning of my tears.The next day I was in the kitchen having breakfast alone since I woke up really early."Are you okay?" I look up to see my dad."I don't know, I like James, but yesterday he yelled at me. It was my fault, I kept asking him about a picture of a girl he has.""That doesn't give him the right to yell at you." He wiped my tears."Yeah.""Maybe you should keep away from him." We look up to see mom."Maybe." The thing is, I didn't want to. That's how much I like that tool.After breakfast was over, I got ready f
We got dressed and he took me out for dinner, felt like we were on a date, but I remembered he doesn't do dates. After having dinner, he drove me home."Thank you for a crazy fun night." I chuckled."Glad you had fun." He pulled me into a passionate kiss."See you tomorrow." I told him while getting off his car. He waited till I was inside my house and then he drove off."I see you gave him a second chance.""I know, I just like him a lot." I told my mom."Just be careful." She gave me a side hug and then went to her bedroom.Everyone keeps telling me to be careful with him. But so far, he's been nice. except for when he yelled at me.James I went home and saw my parents on the couch."Did you apologize to Misty?" My mom asked me."Yes," I also rocked her heart out."And she forgave you?" My dad asked me."She did, she was very forgiving." I told him before going to my bedroom.Being inside her felt so fucking great. Misty was different. I couldn't wait to be inside her again.......
After dinner, we went to the backyard to hangout, except James. He didn't talk the whole time at dinner. You could feel the tension."Can I have a word with you?" James asked me. I just nodded. Emma and Charlie left."Somehow I keep hurting you, and I'm sorry.""You need some anger management class." I told him."I'll try to control my temp." He pulled me closer to him."I hope so." I added, he leaned in and crashed his lips against mine.Emma "Am I the only one who feels this is toxic?" I asked my parents."Emma, your brother isn't toxic. He just needs the right person by his side." She told me."Your brother has a short temp, but he's not toxic." My dad told me."But he keeps hurting her. Misty is my best friend; I just want to protect her." I sighed."She loves your brother, that's why she forgives him. She has hope that one day he will become a better person." Mom told me while grabbing a bottle of water.I had a funny feeling about this. I hope I'm wrong.James Before driving M
I never understood the phrase, 'love hurts' till it happened to me. I told my parents that James and I broke up. It was better to tell them a little lie, than tell them about us just being friends with benefits.There was a knock on my door, I went to open it and it was Emma."My best friend is heartbroken and needs me." She told me while holding a carton of ice cream."I do." I hugged her and cried.Another week went by and I never heard from James. I was still hurting. I could barely focus on my classes and work. My mind went back to him. I missed him. but to him I was just his fuck buddy."Can I get a coffee and an apple pie to go?" I turned to see the girl from that day. Lia went to get her order"Tough week for James, he's been really busy with his music. Did you know he asked me on a date?" Lia came back with her order."He told me he's crazy about me." With that said, she grabbed the order and left."I bet she's bluffing." Lia told me."I don't know what to believe anymore. Thi
A week went by, I was pacing in my room. I didn't know if I should inform James about the pregnancy. I haven't even told Emma about it."I think you should tell him. He deserves to know." My mom told me."I think so too." I sighed."I'll drive you there."I followed her to the car and she drove us to their house. We got out and knocked on their door. Mr. Jacobs greeted us."Nice to see you Misty.""And I'm guessing, you're Mrs. Hawthorne?" He said as they shook hands. "Nice to meet you""Likewise."He motioned us to come inside. "Emma is taking a shower and will come out soon.""I actually want to talk to James." I told him. He just sighed."James, left two days ago. He left his phone behind.""H- he left." I cried. "Is there any way to contact him?""Unfortunately, no. when we went to his room, he was gone. He just left a letter telling us he needed to get away from here."I- I can't breathe." I passed out."That was a good sho-" She stopped when she saw me being carried to the couch
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
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
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
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
