LOGINMaya POV.
I quickly stepped away from the door. Hoping that he didn't see me, I quietly tiptoed back to the room. Once I was in, I locked the door behind me. The fear of being caught made my heart hammer in my chest. Taking off my wet pajamas, I crawled into bed next to my sleeping friend and pulled the sheets all the way to my head. Closing my eyes, I went back to sleep. ******* 1:45 p.m. The Next Day. I sat in class listening to the teacher in front of the class. I could see him but I couldn't hear him. My eyes were droopy with lack of sleep because I had tossed and turned all through the night, unable to sleep. My head kept replaying the hot sex I stumbled upon last night. As a good student, I always tried to be attentive in class, but today was an exception. My mind was scrambled due to the aftermath of last night's spying episode. Even now, no matter how hard I tried to focus on what my teacher was saying, my mind kept going back to what I saw. His broad shoulders, the hairs on his chest, the way he pinned her as he pounded into her... I shook my head, trying to clear the mental picture that arose, unbidden. I took out my pen to jot down some points, to help my concentration. I had only written two words when the scene popped into my head again. Her cries of pleasure, her legs wrapping around his waist, drawing his huge dick into her pussy... Something brushed my leg and I jumped out of my reverie. I looked down and saw John's hands on my lap. Unknown to me, my skirt had ridden up from my knees and a great deal of my skin was exposed. My eyes lifted up and met his, and he winked at me, his hands gently rubbing up and down my legs. John was my boyfriend and we've been dating for four months now. His seat was close to mine, so he'd touched me when he saw my white creamy thighs. I knew he wanted me, he's been telling me non-stop how much he wants to make love to me. But I wanted to wait till I was ready. Tomorrow was my birthday and I would be turning eighteen. I was sure he was happy as well as anxious for tomorrow to come, because it would mark a very important day for us. The day I give my virginity to him. I really liked him, he was good-looking, popular, and very athletic. Many girls fancied him and I felt like the luckiest girl alive to be dating him. He was still touching my thigh, his fingers moving in slow circles. Then he delved into my skirt, reaching for my panties. "Ohh," I whispered, and clasped my legs together around his hand. I looked sideways at him and he flashed me a dubious smile. I shook my head, no, and pointed to Monalisa, my best friend, who was sleeping on her desk, next to mine, and to the teacher teaching in front of the class. At that, he withdrew his hand and faced forward, disappointment etched all over his face. I tried to listen to the Teacher, even leaning forward with my elbows on my desk, but once again, the picture of Mr. Jonah, naked and glistening with sweat slipped into my head. I shook my head hard, feeling so hot and distracted. But luckily for me, at that moment, the bell for the end of school rang and everyone jerked wide awake, even the sleeping ones. Perfect timing. The quiet class erupted in an uproar as everyone began packing up to leave. Beside me, Monalisa was stuffing her books into her bag. "I won't be able to go home with you," she said. "I have plans with my mom." Her parents were divorced, had been divorced for six years now. While her mother had gone ahead and remarried after two years, her father remained single. I always wondered why Mr. Jonah had not remarried. At age 45, he was still a handsome-looking man. He was physically fit with nice muscles and abs. Was doing well for himself financially as a litigation attorney, had a house to his name, and a good car. Many women would trip over themselves to date him. So, why then wasn't he in a serious relationship? Last night gave me my answer. He wanted his freedom. To fuck around as he pleased with no strings attached. Clearly, he had a thing for Latina women because Monalisa's mum was South American from Colombia, while the housekeeper was from Ecuador. "Here are my keys," Monalisa held her keys to my face, bringing me back to the present. "Just have it, in case my dad's not there when you get home." I collected the keys and started to pack up my own books. When I was done, I looked up to tell John that I was leaving, but he wasn't there. He had gone without bothering to say goodbye. I felt a little hurt at his oversight. But I made up an excuse for him, owing it to his football practice. Maybe he was running late and needed to leave in a haste. All done and ready to leave, I stepped into the classroom hallway and was heading out of the building, when I suddenly recalled I needed to collect the study guide he offered to lend me. Deciding to get it before I leave, I went to go find him in the boys' locker room. I'd just taken a step into the rather quiet place when I stopped dead in my tracks.... Right before my eyes, I saw my boyfriend holding Sonia, the head cheerleader against the wall as he slammed into her. My mouth parted in shock.Chapter 1: Morning Rush. Steven POV. Today had to be one of the worst days of my life. And I meant it literally. It started with a rude awakening. I'd woken up late with a bad tummy ache, and spent about 45 mins on the toilet bowl, wondering what I ate last night to give me such terrible diarrhea. As I clutched my tissue in my hand, grinding my teeth as my anus sent out waste explosions, I vowed in my heart never to eat sushi late at night again. As if that was not enough torment for one day, right now I was stuck in the longest traffic in Las Vegas history. The road was a chaotic mess, one entire lane was blocked off for maintenance, with a diversion sign directing traffic into a single, congested lane. Cars inched along, each driver jostling for space. It seemed like the universe was conspiring against me It was 7:45 a.m., and I was running late for work. I had a crucial meeting to attend this morning. While I was navigating the slow and congested traffic with a sore mood,
Monalisa POV.My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the box in his hand.Wait.Was this really happening?Was he actually proposing to me?He flipped the box open, revealing a large diamond ring. "I know I'm late, I should have done this immediately I found out you were carrying my baby," he shook his head and another tear slipped down his other cheek. "I was foolish to walk away the first time."He held the ring up to me, "I will do right by you, Mona. For you, I'll try to become the man you need. Please marry me and make me the happiest man alive."As I stared down at the ring, tears welled up in my eyes and my heart melted.His eyes bored into mine, "Please Mona, I want to be forever yours. What do you say?"I stared at him, my heart racing with all the emotions I'd felt over the past couple of weeks. "Say yes," I heard Maya's voice croak from my house window. My head swung in that direction and I found her peeping at me through the curtain blinds.What was worse?I saw a bigger
Monalisa POV. Our taxi slowly came to a halt a few meters away from Greg's car. He was dressed in a simple black Givenchy hoodie with matching sweat pants, yet he still looked extremely stylish with the grey Chopard sunglasses shielding his eyes. "Hold up, Mona. Are we staring at your boyfriend right now, or did Drake just come into town?" Maya mummured. "Ex-boyfriend, Maya, ex-boyfriend," I firmly corrected. But even as I said the words my heart was racing wildly as I stared at him through the car windshield. "What is he doing here?" Maya voiced my thoughts. "Did he drive all the way from Vegas to this city? How does he know where you live?" She wondered out loud. I sighed deeply, I could ask the same questions. But this was Greg, he could always find me if he wanted. Yet, he hadn't sent me a single message or called me once all these days after our breakup. So what was he doing here now? "Let's go hear what he wants," Maya said and started to open her door. I quickly grabb
Monalisa POV. I stared at the doctor taken aback by her question. "Yes, I am," I answered, "I checked with a pregnancy test strip a few weeks ago." She nodded, "After you tested with the strip, did you visit a hospital to confirm?" "No," I replied, somewhat confused. "Do I need to still confirm in a hospital after the house test?" The doctor raised her eyes to the roof as though she'd been through such situations before. "I'm sending you to the Lab for a proper test using your blood work," she said and walked over to her desk. Pressing the intercom on her desk, she called the attending nurse. Hold on a minute... What was going on? "Wait, I don't understand," I said sitting up on the bed, "Are we done with the scan? Is my baby okay?" "The scan didn't show an embryo, the sack or anything attached to your uterus," she answered. "What?" I asked. "Huh?" Maya echoed beside me. The doctor saw the confusion on our faces and decided to explain further. "I suspect that either it's t
Monalisa POV.3 weeks later.Maya and I were sitting in the lobby section of a hospital, waiting to see an obstetrician and have an ultrasound."I can't wait to see the scan," Maya mused excitedly, "I hope it's a baby girl.""It's still too early to tell the gender," I told her.She nodded, agreeing, but again her enthusiasm perked up. "If it's a boy, I'm naming him Cillian," she whispered to me."Why Cillian?" I inquired, wondering why she had picked out that specific name. "You know, Cillian is an Irish name," she waved a hand, "Considering the father is Irish, I think it's only fitting for my nephew."I exhaled an exasperated breath, "I never said Greg was Irish.""But you said he was a ginger...""He's American. Although he does have their features, but it's a long lineage. Remember we agreed not to talk about him, Maya," I reminded her. Then creased my brows, "In fact, why are you trying to name my baby? That's my job.""It's mine, too. I'm the co-mother," she insisted, pursing
Monalisa POV.The sun was high in the sky when I stepped out of Salt Lake City International Airport, Utah.I glanced down at my wrist watch. It was 1p.m. in the afternoon.The schedule for the flight had been; 10:18 a.m.–12:48 pm.Take off from Las Vegas and touch down in Salt Lake City.Yesterday, after taking the test, I'd made up my mind to leave everything behind and come back home.With that strong resolve, I put my things together, packing what little belongings I had. After that I booked a flight ticket on Delta Airline and bided my time, waiting for the crack of dawn.This morning, I patiently waited for Steven to leave the house for work before I sprang into action. I took my bath and got dressed. Finally, stepping out of my room after many days of locking myself in. Dragging my suitcase out to the living area, I ordered an Uber to the airport. And while I waited for it to arrive, I took the moment to scribble down a farewell letter to Steven. Thanking him for everything
