Divorce? Never Letting Go! 021 The neighbor
~~Hazel~~It almost did happen.The kiss.My brain is still at the walk way. Reminiscing every single moment.Jordan had leaned in. Our breaths mingling. One inhale, one exhale.His fingers rise gently, and brushed the curve of my jaw, then up to my chin. His touch is soft, lingering.His eyes doesn't leave me.Neither do mine.I'm drowning in his gaze. I feel his breath on my lips, warm and tempting.My heart is thundering. I bet he could hear that. But I'm not the only one lost in the moment.Jordan's gaze is intense. Lingering over my face, my lips.Out of nowhere, a call cuts through the moment.Jason.The spell breaks. I take a step back, breathing hard and fishing my phone out.It did occupy my mind half the entire night. The tension. The near kiss.But Jordan was normal about it. And I guess I should be too.But being around him makes me think about things I shouldn't. Especially not while carrying another man's baby.This is all messed up and I don't even know what to do with
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 020 Not without you
~~Melanie~~I scan the room for any trace of Jade.I could swear she was right there just a while ago.My head feels so heavy. It's like I've had a lot and it's only just a few glass.God.I hate alcohol.I can't hold my liquor and to top it all Sebastian of all people decided to show up tonight.Great.Just great.I've been trying so hard to avoid him. I didn't want any drama and definitely not in a job I just started.I put my glass down and push to my feet.A hand grabs mine.“You leaving already?” I might as well do. “The best of the party is yet to come.” Caleb says.I force a faint smile. “Oh, no. I just need to go to the restroom,” The lady beside him glares at me.At his hand on mine.I honestly can't blame her. I'd be just as mad if a guy I'm with is paying more attention to someone else.Caleb nods, and finally let go of my hand.I walk away but not before subtly glancing toward the bar where Sebastian is.His profile tonight is…aggravatingly attractive. The lighting soften
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 019 No one touches what's mine
~~Sebastian~~I stare at my mother's grave, unable to say a word.It's been like this for the past months.But I never fail to show up, never fail to just stand, stare and eventually leave.Cancer took her years back, a memory I wish I could erase. The pain I wish I could've taken away from her.She didn't deserve any of that.Not the kind of marriage she had. Not the life she lived.My phone dings in my pocket, cutting through my pocket.I put down the flower. Stare briefly at a fresh one lying there and whirl around.It's Riley.“Hey, you're still coming, no?”I take a sharp exhale and thumb out a response.“Be there, soon.”I pocket my phone and head straight to my Maserati.I reach for my lighter on the console and flick it, open, close…it's a habit I've mastered over the years, a coping mechanism whenever I'm worked up.If it wasn't mom's memorial, I'd rather not be there.By the time I get to the Villa, a few cars are packed in the driveway.An intimate memorial as he's called it
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 018 A night out
~~Meghan~~I type in the digits again.Grandma Ju.My hands hover on the call dial.And then I click dial.My pacing the floor now, listening to the waiting tone. There's so much I want to say, so much to apologize for.“Hello,”I hear her voice and I stilled, unable to say a word.“Hello,” her voice come again.I don't wait. I don't even think twice. I end the call, willing my mind to stay calm.God.I don't know what to do, what to say.I'm just….scared.The beeping of my phone pulls me out of my misery. I stare at the screen, vibrating in my hand.Jade.I run a hand through my hair, tucking a stray strand behind my ear. I inhale, exhale and then I answer the call.“Hey,”There's a pause.“Don't tell me you're not ready,” she shrilled.I blink.Ready?“Lanie, it's my cousin's party,”Shoot.Right. It totally skipped my mind.“I'll be ready,” I say, shuffling to the stairs, and taking it two at a time. “Give me a few minutes.”I end the call.I quickly take a bath, style my hair hasti
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 017 All it could've taken
~~Hazel~~I can't tell the route to Mr. X’s house but I can feel it, we ain't heading there.It's taking more time than the last.The driver hasn't said anything, he barely ever talks to me.I'm guessing he's only paid to drive and not talk, fair point.I lean back into the backseat, reaching for my phone.There's a text from Jordan.I hadn't seen it before.‘Do you want to go see a movie together?’I inhale a ragged breath.And quickly thumb out a response.‘Tomorrow? I'm kinda busy tonight’His response comes almost immediately.‘Sure’I stared at it, not sure why.Or maybe I'm lying to myself.If I wasn't stuck trying to birth a baby, maybe Jordan and I might've kicked off.But right now it's just…so complicated.He likes me…yeah, I see the way he looks at me.And…maybe I like him too.The car slows, cutting through my thoughts.I lift my head up only to see a penthouse.The gate opens and the driver pulls into the driveway.Another house.It's…beautiful.My phone dings with a text
Divorce? Never Letting Go! 016 Look who's a millionaire
~~Hazel~~Keon is sleeping on his bed but not Kyle.Not yet.I hold him over my chest, patting his back gently while trying to avoid Tamara's gaze.Melanie tilts her head, shrugging with a look that says ‘I didn't say a word to her’Finally Kyle falls asleep.I lay him down gently and turn to my girls.Tamara points to the door and marches toward it.As soon as we're out, I all but let out.“I swear I was going to tell you.” I blurt out. “I only just found out,”That stops her.She turns to me and crosses her arms.“I'm not mad, I'm just…slightly hurt, can't I be?”My lips twitch.She lifts a finger. “Don't,”I throw a hand up. “I'm sorry, you were busy with the boys. I just didn't want to bring this to you yet,”“You're pregnant Hazel, of course I want to hear every part of it, the first feeling, the morning sicknesses, all of it.”I pause.“I'm not supposed to feel anything, Tammy. This baby isn't even mine theoretically.”Everyone goes silent.“It's just…I'm starting to have this s
