Marry Me Now Chapter 23
We got done with everything we needed to do. Taking my bag and Anne's school bag and lunch bag. We went to my car and I drove off to her school. I made sure she was settled in before I went to my working place. When I got there, I didn't come out immediately. I stayed inside my car for what seemed like hours. I felt nervous like a school girl on her first day in her new school. I snapped out of the trance I was in when I saw the time. 7:59 am. I quickly arranged myself and got out of the car. As I got inside the building, I noticed most of the worker's eyes on me. That scandal is still up here from what I can see. Ignoring them, I walked toward Jake's office. A lady suddenly stopped in front of me. She is really beautiful. "Miss Carl! I knew the truth would come out and it did! Oh, poor you, you didn't deserve to go through what you did." She said looking at me with... Caring eyes? "Uh.." "I'm Gwyneth and you must be Tessa. I heard what happened... You see, I was also friends wit

Opening the door, I got out. But for some reason, my body wasn't moving instead it relaxed on the door. I brought my hand to my chest. Why was it suddenly beating fast? If it goes any faster, I was sure it was going to explode. So... That's his girlfriend. Why was I even thinking about it, of course, she's his girlfriend. Hitting my head, I thought, what are you doing? Jeez, stop. "Ma'am?" I heard a lady's voice, I quickly stumbled away from the door and looked at the lady calling me. She was the secretary. "Uh. Yes? Oh, I was uh... My legs hurt, I just, You know," I laughed nervously. "I'd go now," I said and walked into my office. Placing my hand on my chest. I prayed for it to stop beating so fast. It did calm down after minutes but I didn't do anything for 35mins. Just sat there. Looking at the time, I noticed it was 1:34 pm. Oh, I had to go get Anne from school. Jake said I could be home at 2 pm. Does Mr Kings know? I guess I'd go find out. I stood up and walked to Mr King'
Marry Me Now Chapter 25
Yep, that's it. When I told Carson about it. He became about serious our relationship and asked for my hand a month later. My aunt was furious and threatened me not to even think of it. But, I was so blinded, that I ran away from her. I mean, it's a good and bad thing that I did. The good thing was if I hadn't run away, she'd married me off to a guy I had no idea who he was. Maybe to an old man, who knows? And the bad thing was I ran away only for my heart to be broken two years later by a man who promised to love, me forever. Oh, my poor heart. I hated talking about Carson, it brings me some unknown feelings. Getting out of the elevator, there was another one I had to enter still. But someone stopped me. Gwyneth. "Miss Carl.." She called. She was too formal. "Oh, just call me Tessa," I said giving her a friendly smile. She returned the smile, but if possible, even friendlier. "Yes. Tessa, So.. You're going home? It's not yet 4 pm.." She said analyzing me. I nodded my head.

I gulped. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat, it was fast and loud. I'm sure he's heard it too. Why do I have to be in this awkward situation right now? I wasn't ready for this. "Tessa," He said making me look up at his eyes. That contented look on his face. "It's you." He said as if he couldn't believe it. What was I going to say? I felt dumbfounded. And the way he was looking at me wasn't helping at all. Praying silently that the elevator should stop soon, but it didn't, it looks like it was moving slower than usual. "Answer me." He said. His voice sounded demanding. I remembered when we were together, he was that type of controlling husband. But, we weren't together anymore and I wasn't going to let him control me. "I don't have to," I said. "She's my child, right?" He ignored what I said and looked down at Anne. You wouldn't need a DNA test to prove he was Anne's father. There were lots of similarities between them. He bent down towards Anne, but I didn't know why I pushe

The tear, of course, was fake, but it always got to Carson, he scurried to her side her cooed to her. "I was screaming your name, but you weren't answering me." You could say she was a good actress. "I'm sorry baby, are you okay? Is the baby okay?" He asked rubbing and soothing her stomach, she was with his child. She sniffed and nodded her head a little. "I don't think I can walk to the car, can you help me?" She asked. Carson nodded and gave her a sweet smile. She was with his child and he wanted her and the baby to be okay. Sweeping her off the floor, he took her towards his car ignoring the stares and cheering. He got into the driver's seat. He still loved Tess. And she had his child. He had to find out where she lives and who she was with. ~ By the time I got home, it was 4:54. I put the stuff I bought on the counter trying to stop myself from thinking about what had happened in the mall. When we met earlier, you know before Sara came out of the mall. I would have thought h

I tucked the strand of hair on my face to my ear and pressed my lips into a thin line. As usual Mr Kings has that annoyed scowl on his face. Should I even answer him? Yeah, he's the boss, remember? "Uh... This is Carson, my huh..." I tried to say something, but I don't just know how to put it. He raised an eyebrow. "My... Ex-husband." That made him scowl, if possible, harder than before but this time it wasn't at me but at Carson. He's so grumpy. I looked at Carson's face to see if he was fazed by this. "Who are you?" Carson asked. "I should be asking you that. You're in my building." Mr Kings said in the same cold tone. I thought I was the only one Mr Kings was being mean to, you know, from the very first day. You have no idea how I am relieved by this. At least I'm not the only one, I thought he had a 'special" hate for me. "I'm here to see my wi- ex-wife and I have every right to." "She doesn't seem like she wants to see you. You're going to leave? Or I'm going to have t
Marry Me Now Chapter 29
We talked about how recently we haven't been talking much. We talked about so much other stuff. And I couldn't stop laughing at his jokes. My computer beeped, I opened it to look at the message sent. 'I don't know what's going on in there but will you shut up?' It was a message from Mr Kings. I was being loud? I wasn't! He's so rude. "About Austin's engagement, I wanted to ask if you'd be my date?" Jake ask. Jake normally refers to Mr Kings as Austin. Austin is his first name, but I'd never call him that during work period or he'd fire me. He once did that to a lady. She had mistakenly called him by his first name and he fired her immediately. Do I really have to go to that engagement party? "Why did he even invite his employees, he has no relationship with them." I groaned. He smiled. "It wasn't Austin who invited them. It's his dad." He said and my mouth fell into an 'o' "So, what do you say?" "Yes. But why do they have to give short notice? Jeez." I groaned again. We ta

I reached my office and it was nowhere near 2 pm. It seems like today was going slow, sighing in frustration, I threw myself on my chair and began tapping on my table. I hope Mr Kings won't call me for the rest of the day and thankfully, he didn't. It soon got to 2 pm. I flung off my chair, arranged the office, and got out of the building. Reaching my car, I drove off to Anne's school. She sat at a table painting a picture. I smiled as I walked toward her. She looked up at me with a huge grin on her face. "Mommy!" She screamed getting off where she sat. I stooped down to hug her. I released her after a few seconds. She took the drawing she drew and showed it to me. It was a drawing of a woman hugging a little girl. It wasn't that good, but it was really good for her age. On the drawing was 'Anne's heart mommy!!' Oh, my heart. "Aww, baby, I love you too," I said giving her a huge bear hug. "I see you're here, Miss Carl." I heard the teacher say. I stood straight back up with a smil
