Alcohol is calling me again. It was almost late, but before I went out and leave the house I made sure that Isla was sleeping so she won't worry too much about me. I wore a tight black dress and heels. It's Friday, so I think I might have known someone at the bar and hung out with them, but If I found no one I knew then I'll just sit in one corner and drink. My frustration with Felix is starting to fade. I'm not here at the bar because I feel awful. I'm here to have some fun.
When I arrived at the bar I saw familiar faces, so I smiled to myself thinking I might have so much fun tonight.
"Iris!" Scott greeted me. He's the drummer of Xefora. "You look so pretty tonight," he said looking at me. "Are you with Felix?" he asks.
"No. I'm alone," I said, smiling at him.
"Don't tell me you guys broke up already," he asks. I quickly shake my head to tell him that we've not yet broken up.
"Wow, that's good to hear. Come, join us since you're alone, I'll
I woke up in a different room. I smiled to myself as I remembered what happened last night. I look at the man beside me, sleeping soundly. I went to his kitchen, and look inside his refrigerator if I have something I can cook for him. I grabbed some bacon and eggs to cook and made myself a cup of coffee."It smells good," he said, as he walk towards me and kiss me. I blushed as he kissed me, feeling a mix of happiness and nervousness. It was all so new to me, this intimacy and connection with someone else."Good morning," I said with a smile, as I continued cooking breakfast for us. "I hope you slept well.""I did, thanks to you," he replied, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Last night was amazing. I can't believe how lucky I am to have you in my life."I leaned into his embrace, feeling a warmth spread through me.Felix drive me home, and I'm sure Isla was waiting for me already. I slowly went to my room but as soon as I closed the
I felt my heart drop as Felix told me that he had been recommended by his father to continue his pre-med course in Australia. It was something that he had always wanted, but the thought of him leaving me behind made my stomach churn."But what about us?" I asked, feeling a lump form in my throat."Iris, I don't want to leave you," Felix said, taking my hand in his."I know," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "But what about me? What am I supposed to do while you're away?""I don't know yet," Felix admitted. "But we'll figure it out together. I promise."I looked into his eyes, seeing the determination and love in them. I knew that he meant what he said, but the thought of being apart from him for so long was hard to bear."I'll support you, Felix," I said, finally. "But I'm going to miss you so much.""I'll miss you too, Iris," Felix said, pulling me into a tight embrace. "Are you sure it's okay to you? But we'll make it w
I felt my heart sink as Felix told me that he would be leaving in two weeks to continue his pre-med course in Australia. The news came as a shock to me, even though I knew it was a possibility.I couldn't believe that he would be leaving so soon.Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked at him, trying to hold back my emotions. "Two weeks?" I whispered, barely able to get the words out.Felix nodded, his own eyes filled with sadness. "I'm sorry, Iris. I wish I could stay, but this is an opportunity that I can't pass up.""I understand," I said, trying to be strong. "But it's just so sudden. How am I going to handle being away from you for so long?""We'll make it
I spent the day at Felix's apartment, trying to savor every moment before he left for Australia tomorrow. It was bittersweet, knowing that we only had a few hours left together before he embarked on his new journey.As I looked around the apartment, memories flooded back of all the times we had spent together here. The cozy living room where we had watched countless movies and TV shows, the kitchen where we had cooked meals together, and the bedroom where we had shared so many intimate moments.Felix was busy packing his bags, but I couldn't help but watch him from the couch. I tried to memorize every detail of his face and the way he moved, knowing that it would be a while before I saw him again.He caught me looking at him and smiled. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, walking over to sit next to me."Just trying to remember everything," I said, resting my head on his shoulder."I know," he said, wrapping his arm around me. "It's hard to beli
MAX'S POINT OF VIEWAs Iris's best friend, I couldn't help but notice the signs of pregnancy. I noticed that Iris had been feeling tired and more emotional than usual, and had also been experiencing some nausea. While I didn't want to jump to conclusions, I couldn't help but wonder if Iris might be pregnant.As we sat together in a café, I kept stealing glances at Iris, trying to gauge her reaction to the conversation we were having. When Iris mentioned feeling nauseous, I finally spoke up."Iris, have you considered the possibility that you might be pregnant?" I asked cautiously.Iris's eyes widened in surprise. "What? No, I can't be pregnant yet. Felix and I have just started long distance.""I know, but the signs are there," I said, pointing to Iris's tiredness and mood swings. "Maybe you should take a pregnancy test, just to be sure."Iris hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "Okay, you're right. I'll take a test just to rule i
I couldn't believe it. I was pregnant. The news was still sinking in as I sat on my bed, staring at the positive pregnancy test. I had so many mixed emotions - fear, excitement, guilt, and happiness.On one hand, I was excited about the prospect of becoming a mother and starting a family with Felix. But on the other hand, I was scared of what this would mean for our future. Felix was studying to become a doctor, and I didn't want to be the reason why he couldn't achieve his dreams.I also felt guilty for not being more careful, and for not taking the necessary precautions to prevent this from happening. I knew that my parents would be disappointed in me for getting pregnant at such a young age.But despite all of these concerns, I couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness knowing that a new life was growing inside of me. It was a miracle and a blessing, and I knew that no matter what, I would do everything in my power to give this child the best life possible.
I can't help but feel a little paranoid every time Red looks at me. Does he know that I'm pregnant? I haven't even told Isla yet, let alone him. But maybe he's just being his usual observant self and noticing that something's off with me.I've been feeling nauseous a lot lately and my appetite has been unpredictable. Sometimes I can barely eat anything, while other times I feel like I could eat an entire buffet. And my energy levels have been all over the place too. I feel tired all the time, but sometimes I get random bursts of energy that leave me feeling wired.I hope that Red doesn't suspect anything. I'm not ready to share the news with anyone yet, especially not someone like him who might be quick to judge or gossip. I'll just have to be more careful around him and try to hide my symptoms as best as I can."Where's Max?" Red asks me as he sits in front of me while we were at the cafeteria."I don't know, why?" I ask, and he seems so eager to see her
I couldn't take it anymore. The constant worry and stress of hiding the truth from Felix were eating away at me. I knew I had to tell him the truth about our child, but the thought of him leaving Australia and potentially ruining his career was too much for me to bear.But the guilt of keeping such a huge secret from him was becoming too much. I couldn't look him in the eye without feeling like I was betraying him. And the thought of raising our child without him was starting to feel unbearable.I take a deep breath and dial Felix's number. My heart is pounding in my chest as I wait for him to answer. When he finally picks up, his voice sounds tired and distant."Hey," he says."Hey, Felix. How are you doing?" I ask, trying to sound casual."I'm okay. Just busy with school and a lot of stuff too, as usual," he replies.We talk for a few minutes, but the conversation feels strained. It's like there's something unspoken between us, something that'
