Just A Night Stand

Naya Aurora arrived home with blood streaming down her legs. She could barely walk and she knew that she smelled like semen. Who the hell had she had sex with the previous night? Luckily, her aunt hadn’t paid attention to her at all, so she snuck into the bathroom to take her shower and clear the disgusting liquid on her. What the hell happened the previous night? Who was this man that had the audacity to touch her like that? No matter how hard she tried to remember, she couldn’t. It was just too hard. Everything was freaking hard. It was very difficult to tell if she was raped or she willingly slept with this man? The last thing she remembered was seeing a man with good hair and long eye lashes sleeping beside her that morning, but that was it. She couldn’t remember anything else. She felt tears running down on her cheeks as she leaned against the wall. That wasn’t a life she planned for herself, she could swear. She stepped out of the shower and changed into a casual outfit. She

Brett couldn't sleep as he rolled on the bed thinking of all the pain Lovelyn had been through. He couldn't bear seeing her in so much pain. They had made two attempts! Two attempts for surrogates but none was working. Luckily, he was able to talk her to sleep that night and calm her frisky mind, but how long could he do that? How long could he endure seeing this pain in her eyes? His mother was already on his neck. She had begun to send him pictures of ladies asking him to choose which one he liked. "We gave you one job, Doctor Doris!” Brett scolded Doctor Doris as he barged into her office, forcefully opening her door. The creaking sound of the door alerted her immediately, and she instantly stood up."Calm down," she tried to calm him.“No! You should be the one to calm down and listen to me! You do not seem to understand the pain my family goes through every time because of your false hopes! My marriage is about to be pulled apart! My wife cries every night before sleeping! What

FLASHBACK Naya got down from the cab in her mini black dress and nicely packed her. It was another amazing weekend to spend her evening on a few drinks and some new friends she might probably make. Club G was known for its loud songs and expensive guests, so as soon as she walked in, she knew she had arrived. She smiled at strangers and took her favorite shot of champagne. A few minutes into the party, she noticed some girls acting strangely and dancing seductively on the dance floor. Naya found that absurd and giggled at the embarrassment. She sipped her drink. “Your gown looks so nice,” a lady in a designer dress told her, as she sat before her. “I swear, when I saw you from a distance I knew that you were a damsel. I knew there was definitely something special about you.”Naya smiled with a grateful look. “Thank you,” she said with a polite tone. “I didn’t know I dressed that well.” “Baby girl, you did,” the lady got comfortable so quickly. “My name is Amelia.” She stretched he

FLASH BACK “Let go of mum!” Naya pulled her abusive father from her mother, but her father slapped her hard on the cheek, sending her flying on the couch. Tears streamed down her cheeks, as she watched him torture her mother with a belt. “Please stop it! I beg of you!” Her eight-year-old self pleaded helplessly as she watched. This wasn’t the first time, and it might probably not be the last. What was the point of having a child, if you couldn’t care for her? What was the point of birthing a child in the world of torture? A world where her mother is being maltreated. Naya couldn’t bear the thought of this anymore. “Let him show his love the way he can show his love, dear,” her mother said to her all the time. “Let him be the husband he can be.”“I do not want this kind of love!” Naya cried. “No one should love like this. I should never have been born into this kind of home.” “It’s fine, my love,” her mother stroked her hair. “My father used to show my mother this kind of love to

The memory slowly set in and Brett became more and more aware of the face he saw. It was Naya. This sent him shivers and he felt more reason to stay away from her. Each time Brett saw Naya’s face, he was reminded of his mistake and the dark secret he had to hide from his wife. He wanted to keep away so bad but Lovelyn kept making things more difficult for him. During the next ultrasound, Lovelyn advised him to go with Naya alone. He hated the idea and didn’t want to leave without his wife. He hated the awkwardness when the doctor talked about the child around him and Naya. Things only got more awkward now that he knew it was Naya he slept with. He couldn’t tell her the truth. He feared letting her know.“Your child is growing very fast,” Doctor Doris told them as she turned off the monitor and printed out the result. “You are doing a great job taking good care of Naya.” Naya faked a smile, even though she knew that was not the case. “I guess there is 3 months left,” he said as he ho
