Chapter 23
Cleo
The past two and a half months have been both a dream and a nightmare. I fell in love with an amazing guy who gets me in so many ways . Angelo has been a dream ;up until recently when he was not behaving let alone acting like we were in a relationship.
I understood that he had been busy, and I was too reluctant to tell him what had been going on at because he's being treating me like I did something wrong and not giving me emotional attention is his way of punishing me for something I don't know anything about. He knows that I'm sensitive and I hurt easily. He's being coming home ... Well to his penthouse very late and he leaves early. I can't help but worry because he doesn't even touch me or at least talk to me properly.
I left his penthouse on Monday morning before he got up. I had come to a point where I was done. The only way to protect my heart and get over the hurt I felt was to walk away from the person wh
Chapter 24AngeloOne week later.I have to get her back . I screwed up so badly I don't think there is any way to fix the mess I made ...Cleo will not talk to me . Ever since her visit to the hospital last week. She's carrying my child; I had asked doctor James how far along she was , she told me two and a half months . Cleo cried and I didn't know how to react because I don't know how to handle over emotional. Even when Nina was pregnant I avoided coming home early because she would cry and complain about the smallest of things. To be honest she tested my patience. I guess I wasn't really in love.When Cleo cried; I let go of her hand, walked out the room and drove out of the hospital. She didn't deserve what I did. I tried to call her she wouldn't pick up. I went to her apartment but
Chapter 25CleoI cannot believe Paul kicked Angelo out of his office and have him mine to work in for the day . He's always sweet and understanding. He is as possessive as Angelo is . Sophia has stopped causing drama and Blake told me that she's been trying to pull moves on Angelo .I have to admit things are going to change and I don't have a backup plan . I will talk to Blue later on .I'm not going to fight Sophia I seriously don't have any energy to deal with her nonsense and I'm going to have to make it clear to Angelo I don't feel okay about her being around him.I had made it to my office with two cups of Chai tea . I only ever do lunch with Jane at work and I talk with everyone except for Sophia and her clique. I left my my phone on my desk and I wasn't worried about Blue going through it;he's my boyfriend after all. I even made a playlist and named it Angelo Blue. I don't have mommy brain yet but I'm horny . I have self contro
Chapter 26AngeloI hate fighting with Cleo. I honestly do; the relationship is fairly new and well tonight will mark our three month anniversary. I've made love to her countless times since we've met ,and I don't regret it one bit. She's starting to open up to me which is good. I get her moodiness and she is emotional within reason. I really want this relationship to work , I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work . I am sure of one thing though; Cleo loves me just as much as I love her, and I love her more for that. She's a keeper; she even had a playlist with my name on it , the song mean so much to me now.I've heard the first few. I've got it really bad and the feeling is different compared to what I felt for the other girls I've had . She is home for me and if I have to prove it to her I will. I spent the whole day at Paul Stone. Paul kicked me out of his office to Cleo's ,he was pissed about Ruth wanting Cleo back and I also
Chapter 27CleoThis has been one of the best weekends in while. I went to work Friday morning expecting things to be normal , considering what had happened the week before with Angelo . I had already forgiven him because I know he thought of Gio and how Nina lied , he also confessed to me last night that he thought he was dreaming. My poor baby.This morning he suggested I stay with him on a permanent basis. I had told him how scared I was that our unborn child's life was in danger and how I wanted to keep my pregnancy secret. My mother already knew and she was happy for me . Angelo vowed never to let anything happen to us . He trusted Paul and that was enough . My clothing style had totally changed because when I went shopping with Jane on Saturday while the guys watched football the whole day and I had to go to a different section . I knew how to hide my bump with fashion tricks and I was having fun.Today was Monday so I went for a basic
Chapter28AngeloI always forgive and let go . I cannot harbour any hate and I cannot be judged by my past mistakes. Its the past . I'm lucky enough to have Cleo who's been patient with me. I'm pretty sure I want her for keeps . I went to her office at lunch time; because she wasn't picking her phone up , she left without saying goodbye this morning , and I missed her . With Paul around she's safe. He told me he was just stepping out for lunch with Ruth. They are being civil at the moment which is a and I don't want Cleo worrying for nothing .Sophia just won't stop . I found her man handling Bella;I threw her out and locked the door .The team will deal with her. She must have said something to my baby love because right after she cleaned up after puking; shame my poor baby she asked who was I .I gathered that Sophia told her about the company I worked for .Cleo looked at me with sad eyes&nb
Chapter 29CleoI usually know how I feel. Right now I don't know how to feel. I don't need time away from Blue I just need him to get that; I haven't had it easy since we started dating, and it all just came out wrongly. I love him and I don't want to lose him,now more than ever I need stability in my life . He walked out on me a week ago . What's going to happen when our child is born? Part of me wonders where he went that night he lost control at the restaurant. Who was he with , or who did he talk to?. Paul stayed with me and suggested I go to the resort . I'm finding it hard to understand that I met Angelo's mother. The woman in the picture that Blue showed me, is the same woman I met. He has the same mole on her upper lip as Angelo does. I have a feeling there is more to our meeting than just seeing someone who was presumed dead but is alive.I was walking down the hall as fast as I could with Angelo
Chapter 30AngeloFor the longest of times I've wonder how it would feel to be in a relationship where I don't have to worry about my girlfriend being unfaithful to me. The last three women I've been with made me wonder, because they proved my suspicions right. Nina had a child with my cousin , Sophia slept with a stranger and Nikki slept with Duncan too . They all said that they felt unappreciated and that emotionally I wasn't there. They didn't get me . Cleo has been patient with me although she needs her space , she eventually comes around and she hasn't once just looked for someone els or sleep with Brendan. She gets me.I feel bad for keeping her away from him; he goes to the club and has access to the lounge. I don't trust him around Cleo.Until I'm sure he won't pull any moves on what's mine I'm keeping him away.Bella passed out again; shame she's trying to adjust to the changes she's going through. I almost freaked out. I've been thr
Chapter 31CleoI used to think being a super woman required me to change who I was and the way I looked . I thought I was supposed to be thin , have long hair , and if I don't have long hair getting a weave just to fit in...I thought I needed to have the perfect wardrobe, latest phone , and hang out with the "cool kids".Life has a way of humbling you. I grew up with what I needed and whatever I wanted I had to work hard for.As time went on; I was sometimes confused as to why the other kids were on trend and I wasn't . Why do they got special treatment and I didn't. Why I got treated differently for staying true to myself and they got praised for being the same.It took ending up in the hospital with an eating disorder; three failed suicide attempts and therapy to get that , being different means that you're authentic and true to yourself, and nobody can take that away from you. You have your own identity . You are not your status, s
