"You're leaving? So soon?" I asked when I came down the next morning and saw Simon ready for his flight back to Atlanta. "Yes I'm rest assured she's in good hands." He said. Good, I thought as I shook hands with him once again and we said our goodbyes. Getting into the vehicle, I watched from my side mirror as he hugged and kissed Hannah, making my skin crawl once again. It was such a good thing that he was leaving. I drove off not wanting to feel another bout of chest aches. Halfway through my drive, Zara's caller ID flashed on my screen. I picked up without delay. "Hey," I said. "Hi Zach. How are you?" "I'm great. How's Europe treating you guys?" I asked, putting the phone on loud speaker as I needed my hands to tale a swerve. "I'm freezing." She groaned. I chuckled, "You'll be back in no time. How's Jay?" "Oh he's alright, with Melanie as always." "Someone sounds jelly." I teased. She scoffed, "Whatever. I just wanted to thank you for helping Hannah out. She told us all ab

I ran as fast as I could away from the house and farther into the estate's premises. I knew coming to live with him was a bad idea. Though innocently, he had triggered some really awful memories. I couldn't count on my fingers all those times I cried myself to sleep. How much hurt I felt from losing my first pregnancy after all the hassles I had to go through in my marriage. My baby was my only hope to get better. Knowing I was giving him an heir made me so happy and with the snap of a finger all my hope was gone. I could never forget how grieved I felt that day when the nurse told me, it tore me apart more than any physical pain I felt. I was happy to be alive but why didn't my son make it too?I stood in the middle of the field and yelled as loud as I could hoping it would take my pain away. I just wanted it to go away forever and never return. Maybe if all my memories had wiped away it would all have been better. I knelt there and wept, not minding the wind throwing my hair all ove

I stared at the shade of lipstick smeared on my lips for several seconds. It just did not feel like it matched the emerald green dress I had on. I couldn't help it anymore, I had to call to Zara. She picked up at the third ring, "Heyyy, someone's looking fancy on a Friday night. Where are you going?" She asked with a teasing wiggle of her eyebrows as she walked around the room, rocking Melanie to sleep. "Zach and I are trying this new spot in town." I told her, bringing out my lipstick shades one after the other for her to help me pick. She gasped all of a sudden. Startled, I stared up at her. "What's wrong?" I asked. "You're going on a date with Zach!" She exclaimed a little too excitedly. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold your horses," I gestured for her to keep calm. "It's not a date. We're just-" "Going on a friendship date?" she cut me off. "Something like that." I answered. "Still a date!" She exclaimed a little too eagerly.I rolled my eyes and gave her a dead stare, "Don't be rid

After apologizing, becoming friends and seeing how excited she was to be with Simon, I was willing to let her be happy and get married to her fiance but after one look at her tonight and after that unexpected kiss, I knew I was not willing to let go no matter what. She would eventually have to make a choice and so bad I wanted it to be me. "Where are you going?" I got up abruptly as soon as I sighted her rolling out a suitcase. "Um, I just think it's about time I go live at my sister's since they're back already." She said, avoiding my gaze as usual. I never got why she did that. "They got back over a week ago. Why do you suddenly realize you want to be there?" "I was just giving them time to settle in," She said and I instantly knew it was a lie. "Hannah you're trying to avoid me. Again." I stated plainly. The guilty look on her face told me all I needed to know. "You know we have to talk about that kiss, we can't av-" I was saying when she covered my mouth with her palm. "Don

"Poof, why are you so distant? I've been asking you about these flowers since and you've been barely saying anything." Mama sounded worried. I snapped out of absentmindedness, "I'm sorry I just feel-" "Like this is a bad idea?" Zara cut in quickly. "-under the weather." I completed my statement, giving my sister a glare. "Oh is everything okay? Any problems at Zach's house? Is Marv giving you issues?" Mama was even more concerned now, placing a palm over my forehead to feel my temperature. "Zach broke up with Marv," I revealed, shocking both of them. They immediately sat around me, eyes gleaming with curiosity. I chuckled. These two sure loved some good gossip. "You have to tell us what happened." Zara said with a wide grin. Why on earth was she so happy about this? "He did not give me any solid details. He just said they were incompatible and he wasn't feeling it so he had to end it." I told them plainly. "So this means he's single again?" Mama asked, frowning a little. "Yup.

"Mrs Jones, good morning ma'am," She let out a sigh before responding, "Morning." That sounded like a half-hearted response but I went with it, going on to say hello to Simon's sisters who responded same way as their mother. Maybe this was how they responded to greetings in their family, I assured myself. I waited for them to have their seats before taking mine opposite Mrs Jones at the table. I wondered if they were going to order anything after they took forever to skim through the menus provided. I unconsciously began tapping at the table as I waited for them to decide and call the waiter. Looking up from my phone I spotted their irritated faces staring straight at me. "Is there a problem?" I asked. "Why do you have to drum on the table like a five year old?" One of his sisters sneered at me. I almost got offended. I immediately halted my thrumming fingers and whispered a 'sorry'. They faced their menus again and my feet soon took over the tapping. "Have you finally decided on

"Hey I'm so glad you're back." I spotted him as soon as I got into the house, going up the stairs. He turned around and jogged down the stairs. "Hey Hannah," He hugged me and I returned the embrace with the same energy. "How was your trip?" I asked, not failing to note how stressed he looked. "It was good. How has your day been?" He pushed a strand of my hair out of my face out of habit. "You would not believe what a crazy day I had." I exaggerated my every word with my expressions. He chuckled, "Now I wanna hear all about it." 'You go freshen up and we'll talk about it when you're well rested." I spun him around to go do the needful. "I look forward to it." He nodded. ~~~ "Zach I was so mad." I ended my narration with a frustrated sigh. He hummed, "I can imagine." "I don't know why they don't like me. They don't even know me! They simply hear that I'm a divorcee and they just go ahead and judge my entire character based on it." I vented frustrations out even more. I didn't

Mature Content Below! "I didn't let them change a thing, it holds a lot of sentimental value for me,"I turned to stare at him. I got what he meant from that sentence. This place held a lot of memories, mostly of our never ending fights but a few sweet moments too. Thankfully there was nothing sexual about this place cause that would be a whole different level of awkwardness. Now that I thought about it, Zachary and I never had any form of intimacy when we moved into this house, owing to how fragile my pregnancy was, the doctors had advised us to put a pause on our sex life till after the baby was born and I was fully healed. Crazy how that never happened."Can I sit?" I asked him as he sat on the couch."Of course," he patted the spot next to him."I came so we could talk," I sat, crossing my knee over the other as I leaned my back on the cushion, wrapping my arms around myself."I figured."Not letting myself stare at him, I spoke. "About what happened today, Zach, I don't know but

I had been avoiding him like a plague since that night. I busied myself with the salon and almost booked a ticket back to Atlanta out of guilt. I so badly wanted to confess to Simon, he didn't deserve to be betrayed like this but what happened to my sense of reason? Did abstinence affect me so much that I gave myself away to Zach without thinking? I felt so stupid. "Hannah you're absentminded again. Can you just tell me what's wrong?" She snapped her fingers in front of me. I flashed her a smile, "It's nothing Mama, I'm fine really." "Have you spoken to Simon yet?" She asked and my smile dropped. "No." I said clippedly, busying my hands with arranging my already arranged desk. "Why?" "I'm sure the stylist is waiting for you Mama, sessions are booked cause the place is packed. If you want to get your hair done today, you have to get started right away." I reminded her why she was here in the first place. "Are you chasing me out of your office?" She narrowed her eyes at me. I den

I know I shouldn't have hurt him like that but I was scared of risking getting back with him only to get hurt again. I'm ashamed to say I got caught up in the moment and lost every sense of self control that I had been holding on to for years. "Lord have mercy," I muttered a prayer anytime pictures of that night flashed before my eyes. Thankfully my phone rang at that moment. It was Simon. I let it ring until the call ended. If he could ignore me for so long I was going to do the same. I went back to folding my pile of clothes into my suitcase. It was about time I left. Having done the unspeakable, the only thing left for me to do was to stop it from happening again. A knock on the door halted my movements. "Who is it?" "Ma'am you have a guest." "A guest?" I asked. I was not expecting anyone. "I'll be out in a minute." I told the help as I zipped up my suitcase, I would have to save it for later. I stumbled back in shock when I met my supposed guest. "What, what are you doing he
