The Dilemma

"Clay Winston?" Caterina replied with a puzzled look."Yeah, what about it?" Lorraine asked, shifting to face her"I've heard that name somewhere before", Caterina said, and Lorraine shook in fear. She had hoped Clay's popularity wouldn't extend as far into Italy. This was why she was cautious to tell them about her relationship status."Uhmm, you probably have; it's a very common name in the States. Lots of people are named Clay," Lorraine replied swiftly, with quick thinking, averting further attention to the case, and Caterina was convincedSuddenly, Lorraine's phone buzzed, and she quickly pulled it out to silence the alarm. It was 11 p.m., and the night was still young. However, Lorraine decided she couldn't stay up that late anymore, especially if she wanted to make it to Mrs Hughes's class on time the following morning. Thoughtfully, she asked"Is it okay with you guys if I retire to bed early? I have Mrs Hughes's class in the morning. She already gave me a one-strike last tim

Invitation to The Fundraiser

Lorraine got up and walked towards the door when she approached the stage, she tried to sneak beside a couple of students and make it out of the class unnoticed, but before she could, Mrs Hughes spotted her"Ms Davis, a minute please" Mrs Hughes called packing up her notes.Lorraine sighed and walked towards her with a sunken face. She was hopeful that she wouldn't have to be chastised again today, since the last time she hadn't worked or even started on an idea for the painting project, Mrs Hughes assigned to her in their last meeting.With everything that had been going on, there wasn't just enough time to focus on anything that important or to calm her mind long enough to find inspiration."Mrs Hughes, how do you do today?" Lorraine said exasperatingly, faking her excitement, but then heard how unnatural she had sounded and scolded herself."That's a fancy how do you do Lorraine" Mrs Hughes replied teasingly"That's exactly the kind of talk, that makes me convinced you're most fit

The Fundraiser

About a week later after Lorraine was invited to the Annual Fundraiser event, she laid in bed that morning with no desire to get out. When her alarm rang by 7 a.m., she squinted against the cruel glare of the sunlight that sieved in through her windows, rolled onto her back and turned off the alarm clock by her bedside. Shaking her tousled hair off her face, she sat on her bed and yawned. At first, she felt a little excited to be at a formal event at the school, even when she knew it was going to be as boring as advertised, she still felt honored.But in the last week, all that excitement had seeped out, particularly with her missing DeAngelo's basketball game, causing him not to talk or give her any attention. It was the break and what she wanted from him, but not by keeping malice, she had enough of disappointing people and the feeling weighed on her. Lorraine picked up her phone scanning through her call logs and recent messages, none from Clay. Was he still mad at her? She pond

Chaos Into Beauty

As Lorraine stared at Caterina and Francesca more and more, she felt confused. "How was Caterina her daughter? She had never mentioned anything about it" she thought, and wondered if that was why Caterina always acted weird whenever DeAngelo was around, and also if their roommates knew.Mrs Giula motioned for her to come over, but Lorraine remained unmoved, glued to the ground in shock. This felt like a betrayal, she had opened up about most parts of her life to Caterina, and in return Caterina had kept this huge secret from her."Lorraine," Mrs Giula called again, but Lorraine peered past and saw the look on Caterina's face, who couldn't look her in the eye. Immediately, she turned and accidentally knocked off a tray of wine glasses from a waiter, causing the glasses to shatter on the ground, drawing more attention to her. She paused and gasped, covering her mouth with her palms "I'm sorry," she said, turning slowly to Mrs Giula before leaving the room.Instantly, Caterina hurried

Truth

Lorraine was still reflecting on everything Lorenzo had told her; some things made sense to her. Still, she couldn't get over the feeling that Caterina could not confide in her in anything that really mattered in the end. When she reached the warehouse, she searched her purse and brought out the key. She had hoped that, by chance, DeAngelo would be at the Fundraiser so she could return it, offer her apology and confess she was married. Looking at the key in her hand, she heaved a sigh, realizing she couldn't blame Caterina for the secrets she harbored when she, too, had grave secrets of her own.She pressed the key into the lock, opened it, walked inside and locked the door. She leaned slightly against it and heaved an exhaustive sigh. The day had not gone how she anticipated. Granted, she didn't think she'd have a good time or even pretend to enjoy herself, but a lazy evening with business people and the elite group did not seem as bad as what had unfolded at the party. As she wal

I Came For Her

DeAngelo heard a Ioud thud, turned around and saw Lorraine's body on the ground. Immediately, he ran towards her and held her. He panicked but managed to maintain his composure, lowered his head and listened for her heartbeat. He could still hear it faintly and instantly brought out his phone and dialed Lorenzo. The phone rang for a few moments before he finally picked"Get to the warehouse now!" DeAngelo spoke hurriedly"DeAngelo? I thought you were at the fundraiser. What's going on?" Lorenzo's voice sounded over the speakers"There's no time to explain; just bring the car around immediately. I'm at the old abandoned warehouse at the school," DeAngelo replied and ended the callWith shaking hands, he scrolled through his contacts and called Caterina, his gaze focused on the screen intently cursing every second the call rang, and she did not pick up"Fuck fuck fuck! Pick up your funking phone, Caterina!" He said, panicking and soon after, Caterina answered the call"When someone cal

Are You Really Pregnant?

A dead silence hung in the air when Clay mentioned that he was Lorraine's husband. It was hard to believe, considering nobody even knew she had a boyfriend, not less being married. Clay shifted his gaze across many puzzled faces, wondering what was so intriguing. However, he waved it aside and paid no meaning to it"Who are you guys?" He asked, breaking the silence. Caterina stared at him, captivated by his gorgeous looks. He was nothing like Lorraine had described, standing in front of him wearing a custom sweatshirt, his toned muscles hung firmly to them, slightly revealing his chest hair, and his neatly trimmed beard stealing some focus from his emerald eyes, he was by far the hottest person in the room.Caterina walked towards him nervously, trying to compose herself and shake away the thoughts that were forming in her head"Okay, he is Lorraine's husband. That's not strange at all," she muttered to herself and extended her hand for a shake"I'm Caterina. I'm the one that called

Sorry I couldn't Tell

Immediately, Lorraine mentioned she was pregnant; Clay pulled her closely and embraced her. Lorraine slowly wrapped her arms around his back, taking in his aura. Despite the circumstances of his arrival, this was the closest she had felt to home since she arrived in Italy. She felt solace in his embrace and drew a deep breath, wishing in his arms was where she could belong every day. However, after a while, reality suddenly settled in, and she pulled away from the hug. No matter how good his embrace felt or how his hair smelled like a bed of meadows, she couldn't watch by as she lost herself to his charm and will. It was this same feeling that made her leave home.Clay slowly lifted his gaze at her, and a sudden puzzled look appeared on his face. He furrowed his brows ever so gently as he realized that Lorraine had been pregnant for a month and never mentioned it at any point. As his gaze focused on her face, he couldn’t ignore the questions that were burgeoning in his mind and asked

In The Shadows

"What?" Clay asked, slightly taken aback. "I don't want you to stay in Italy just for me," Lorraine repeated. Clay stood up from the chair and paced about uncomfortably for a while, trying to discern her reasons and then swiftly, he turned to her and tried to speak, but the words escaped him. Staring at her face blankly for a few moments, he finally asked"I'm sorry. Do you not want me here?" Clay asked keenly"Cause I came all the way down here to apologize and make up for it, but then I found out that you've been pregnant this whole time, and now it seems that you don't even want me here", he riposted"Are we really going to do this here?" Lorraine said exhaustively"Yes! I mean, I'm trying my best here to overlook the fact that you've been pregnant for four weeks, and I'm only now hearing about it, just so I can be here for you, and you are indirectly sending me away?", "What is this really about Lorraine?","Oh my God, can you let this go!" Lorraine blurted"Then tell me why you

Are We Ready For This?

Lorraine watched in shock as Clay burst out of the ward, surprising the doctor as well. She wondered what that was all about. One moment, he was arguing with her about being involved in the baby's life, and when it was time to find out their baby's health, he seemed panicky.However, she waved off the thought as the probe moved around her stomach, listening for a heartbeat. Suddenly, she felt a sudden rush of emotions. Despite knowing she was pregnant, she never had the pregnancy tested. Hearing the little thumping of her baby's heartbeat confirmed what she already knew was true. She was indeed pregnant.Instantly, Lorraine felt gripped by fear as the realization struck her - she would be a mother.Immediately, she started breathing heavily, and her nerves became greatly unsettled. How could she do any of these? She was barely taking good care of herself; how could she raise another human by herself? Suddenly, she was beginning to rethink Clay's offer as she realized if she were g
