FAZER LOGINEden’s Point of ViewLola stood out, I saw her right from the moment we began walking towards the arrival hall of the airport; her dark skin like caramel glowed under the fluorescent, her lips pursed slightly annoyed and slightly eager, while her eyes darted around, searching for something.“See, that’s Lola.” Theron pointed with a evil grin, seems like she noticed it from the corner of her eyes, they darted towards us, and she waved, grinning from ear to ear.“Lola!” I tried to run, but Theron’s grip on my forearm prevented me, and he shook his head.“Running is bad for you.” He muttered. “You’re pregnant.”“Yes, not injured.” I finally snapped back at him but he still didn’t let me go, Lola rushed towards us instead, and only then did my gaze shifted from Theron back to Lola.“Eden… how could you?” she asked as she slammed me into a hug; her slender but tall frame covered me, suffocating me, her arms tightening around my back. “I thought I was your friend, why didn’t you tell me any
Eden’s Point of View.“You should go to sleep now,” Theron murmured against my ears, he had been nibbling on it for some time now. “You’re pregnant, you need to sleep more.”As much as this was a fact, I was just too excited to fall asleep, I have never felt so alive in a long time, I wanted to keep talking to him, I didn’t want the conversation to end, I didn’t want to let this moment slip away from me.Because it felt too perfect; like the first time a child was fed ice-cream, or as if I was walking on clouds, like I’m in a dream—and I would wake up soon. Despite Theron being so close, so warm, and so alive, I felt like he was going to disappear soon, so while he is here, I want to live this moment to the fullest.I suddenly remembered something, or rather someone that I almost forgot through my stay here; a very pivotal person to the way everything had spiraled out.“What about Felicia?” I felt Theron stiffened at my question; it was almost as if he stopped breathing for a split se
Eden’s Point of ViewTheron brought me to bed, I let out a soft sleepy sigh as Theron’s arms tightened around my waist, his bare chest pressed against my naked back, sharing his warmth with me as he trailed kisses all over my face. He buried his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent deeply.We were done making love, but he remained as clingy as ever, his touch soft, warm, and kind; I liked it.“You still won’t tell me that you’re pregnant?” He queried, his lips only centimeters away from my ears, his palms massaged my stomach softly. “How long were you planning to wait?”“I-I figured the doctor would tell you.” I stuttered, and his palms slid down my stomach, to below my navel.“Did I marry the doctor?” He quizzed, and I was barely able to stop myself from laughing, his touch lingered around my stomach. “And then you proceeded to run away with my daughter?”Daughter? How was he so certain about the sex of the child.“You should be punished for that.” His voice was a low and
Theron’s Point of View “You’re burning up.” Eden dropped me on the couch as we got into her tiny apartment; as much as I would like to take her away with me tonight, I didn’t have the physical capacity to do that. My body temperature had increased about two times the usual, I wasn’t sick beforehand, I wasn’t experiencing any pain—just intense heat. Maybe it’s because I have been away from her for too long, and seeing her all of a sudden, speaking to her, being on the verge of being walked out on again made my body begin to malfunction.“I am fine.” I muttered as she ran towards me, with a bowl and a wash cloth in her hands—all that ceremony wasn’t necessary. I was just so excited to be with my wife, and my unborn child.Satisfied with the thought that even after everything, Eden is mine. “No, you are not.” She complained as she dipped the cloth in the cold water, and she pressed it against my forehead in an attempt to lower my body temperature. “Do you have any headaches?”I sh
Eden’s Point of ViewTheron and I stood in silence, my hair in the wind, Uriel was long gone, he left the moment Theron threatened to bite him.Theron kept his distance, but he was close enough for me to see him; he wasn’t in the best of shape, he seemed thinner, and his stubbles were noticeable, even though it made him look more masculine, it was easy to tell that something bothered him—half of me was excited to see him, I wanted to jump in his arms, the other half was angry.I told him not to find me… I wanted him to wait for me… Guess he couldn’t do that much.“Hello love.” He finally broke the silence. “How have you been?”“How did you find me?” I asked curiously, taking a step back. I did everything right, didn’t spend from my credit cards, didn’t turn on my phone, I wasn’t in contact with anyone, not even Lola. “Why?”“You were in danger just now.” His voice was soft, as he deflected from the question. “I wasn’t going to interfere with your life if you weren’t in danger.”My eye
Eden’s Point of View“You’re quite good at this,” Madam Jacinta complimented my vase work, her eyes sparkled as she studied it. “Your arrangement is so good, doesn’t look like you’re an amateur who came here two days ago.”The elderly woman wasn’t shy of giving out compliments, I tilted the straw hat, wiped the sweat that trickled down my temple with the back of my wrists, grinning with appreciation.“Thank you.” My cheeks burned red at the compliment; she patted my shoulders and then walked off, inspecting the works of other florists in the shop. It’s been six days since I left the life I knew behind, running away from everything that tied me to Theron.The hospital, my family, the house, his family—Everything.I started working in this floral shop, it was run by the elderly woman in her late sixties, but the shop operates as a charity organization; Madam Jacinta donate free flowers to patients in the nearby hospital and clinics, despite being a struggling elderly woman herself.It f
