FORTY-EIGHT
KRIS:
It was a week from Thanksgiving so I returned home to spend time with my mom.
Call it a break from my crumbling life.
I got out of my car and walked towards the front door, pulling my suitcase behind me. Getting to the door, I tried the handle and it was opened so I let myself in.
"Mom! I'm home". I called, getting into the living room.
"Ohh Baby!!". She ran from the kitchen, barreling into me.
I chuckled, embracing her tightly. Sometimes she made me feel like I was the mom with her ever jolly attitude.
God. I've missed her. I though

KRIS:"Honey, wake up". Mom tapped me gently.I groaned in frustration, pulling the covers tightly against me."Mom let me sleep". I muttered, eyes still closed."No baby. This is the third time you're napping today. Are you sure you're fine?". She asked and I felt my bed dipped."I'm okay mom". I replied.Sleeping was one thing I did a lot so it was totally normal to me."You've been sleeping a lot lately". She pressed a hand to my head to feel my temperature."Mom, I'm fine". I replied

KRIS:The sound of footsteps heading to my room brought me back to reality. Not wanting whoever it was to see my tears streaked face, I dashed into the bathroom to wash my face."Kris, I'm back baby". Violet screeched.She just returned from her parents place where she'd gone for Thanksgiving. I'd returned immediately after Thanksgiving, not wanting to spend an extra day so I could figure out my life. I didn't want my mom getting worried."Kris?". She called, entering my room just as I exited the bathroom."Yeah baby". I smiled, striding towards her. "I missed you". I got to her, throwing my arms around her.&nb

KRIS:The ringing of my phone woke me up. Picking it from my nightstand, I saw the caller was Lucian. I ignored the call.He'd been calling for the past one week but I wasn't ready to face him. He also sent lots of texts that I also ignored.Glancing at my phone again, I saw it was just six in the morning. Violet was going for her morning run by 6:30am. Most times, she dragged me along but I didn’t want to go with her because my bed was calling to me and I wouldn’t want to ignore it. Keeping my phone on the nightstand, I went back to sleep, pulling the covers over me.I woke up moments later to a booming voice, coming from the living room. It was loud enough for me to figure out who it was w

KRIS:Walking into the cafe where I'd agreed to meet Tyler, my eyes scanned it till I found him seated at a table, eyes directly looking into mine.After a week of ignoring his calls, I had called him and told him to meet me there. I finally decided to stop sulking and fix my life. I couldn't sit around and wait for the baby bump to show before I did the right thing. so, I decided to start with Tyler. I couldn't keep him hanging anymore.Getting to him, he stood up from his seat and gave me a smile but his eyes told a different story.He was worried.He pulled me into a tight embrace and pecked my cheek when he pulled away. His nice gestures were making it hard for me to

KRIS:"Where are you going?". His husky voice asked, stopping me in my tracks by the door."Out for lunch". I replied without sparing him a look."No". He replied coldly."Excuse me?". I asked, this time around looking at him with furrowed brows."You're not having lunch with him".I should have known.He was referring to Dean. I'd been having lunch with him since I resumed."It's a good thing I have legs". Ignoring him, I turned the door handle but his next words made me

KRIS:"It's not yours". I stared him in the eyes, so he could buy it but his facial expression never changed. He stared back at me coldly. "It's my ex's". I added, praying he’d believe it."Stop. lying. to. me". He replied with gritted teeth."It's not a…"."Cut it". He interrupted in a cold voice. "The doctor informed me that you are two months pregnant and from my calculations which I know I'm very correct, it's the time we had sex before you left for Thanksgiving. You still wanna lie?". He queried.Tired of keeping up with the lie, I averted my gaze away from him.I didn't know what I was thinki

KRIS:I stood by the elevator wall opposite Lucian, but his eyes were focused on me. This time, they were not cold but they had an unreadable expression.I hated how his stare made me feel jittery with my heart hammering so I stared at the floor to avoid the intensity of his gaze but I could still feel it on me.The elevator dinged, announcing our stop at the 37th floor just as the door opened. He grabbed my hand and pulled me with him so I was walking beside him. I was too tired to pry my hand away so I let him hold me.Getting to the door of his penthouse, he swiped in his key card and it opened.We got into the living room and I immediately fell in love with it

KRIS:Rays of light streaming into the room hit my eyes that were still closed, making me turn my face to the opposite direction. Stretching out my limbs, they fell on an empty bed.I opened my eyes to see I was alone on the bed. Stretching some more, I lifted my lazy body from the bed and got into the bathroom to clean my teeth.Thereafter, I made my way to the kitchen in search of food and there he was. Seated on a stool at the kitchen island, sipping coffee. He was dressed for work in a navy blue suit with a white dress shirt, no tie. His hair was in it's usual messy form with a few strands falling on his face. Looking at him from the doorway, he looked like a pure work of art in it's exquisite form.I could stand there and w
