Pregnant For My Best Friend’s Father

Riley Walking into the club, the loud sound of the music booming pierced through my ears and it was so loud that I thought I was going to go deaf. It wasn’t my first time in a club so I knew what to expect but because of everything that had happened, it felt like I was hearing these sounds for the first time. I could feel the men’s hungry gazes on me as I walked but I ignored them all and usually, my reason for ignoring was always because I had a boyfriend but now, it was different. I didn’t only lose my boyfriend, I lost my best friend too. My world has completely fallen apart and even though I had the insane urge to go home with a stranger to make me feel better, I had no intention of entertaining anyone. After all, I'm only going to get drunk and then go back home to rid myself of all this pain. I went directly to the bar and sat on one of the chairs as I gestured for the bar attendant. He looked hot with his neatly cut hair, the slit on his left eyebrow and

Charles It’s been four years, four whole years and I still couldn’t get her face out of my head or the thought of her out of my mind. She had successfully succeeded in making herself the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and the last thought that bugs me before I go to bed at night. I’d managed to find out what her name is and since then, her name wouldn’t stop ringing in my head no matter how hard I tried. Riley Benedict, the girl I’d thought of dismissing as a one night stand but ends up eating me alive. I tried my hardest to find her, did everything I could but the last time I saw her she was heavily pregnant and happily married and with no other choice, I had to let everything go no matter how hard it was. I didn’t even get to say hello to her. I didn’t get to talk to her because I didn’t want to bring up the past even though it was everything I wanted to bring up. I wanted to let her know that I still think about her, to let her know that there

Riley.Four hours into the journey, we arrived in New York. The air was stiff as usual, the street filled with workers walking down to the bus station.I wind down the window, sticking my hand out. It feels surreal that I am back to the place that broke me. Just as Brian had said, there is a massive chance that I will get to run into them, and what would I do if that should happen?I will practice for that, of course, and nothing keeps Alex and Austin far away from them. “You seem less enthusiastic about it now that we are here,” Brian commented.We hadn’t said anything to each other since our conversation earlier. I shouldn’t have said those words to him because I’d given him the hope that one day, I could change my mind, and we could be something I doubt would ever happen.“I don’t know. I feel uneasy about it. The memories I buried are trying to crash my head again.” I responded, grabbing my bottled water and gulping down everything.Using his right hand, he squeezed my hand as I p

Riley.I tried so hard to suppress my expression, seeing the last person that I had expected to run into this soon. “So you do recognize me.” Charles narrowed his brows, before he offered me a seat.There is no use of acting as if I didn’t when I gave myself out in the first place. “I have looked everywhere for you, I think you should have to me sooner.”Right now, I think the man that I am staring into his eyes has some mental issues. “Look, I don’t know what you are talking about.” I told him, sitting uptight.I can’t sit comfortably in the same room with him, especially when there could be a chance of Zelia walking through that door and she would see me. There is enough time for me to get ready to meet them. “I gave you my card that day and I told you to call me.” Charles recalled.“I must say you do have a very retentive memory, but I must break it to you that I had thrown that card away. If I had an idea that you were the boss, I would have never come here.” I let him know.The

Riley.Hissing, I put away my phone in my pocket. I guess no matter how many times I have to block Charles, he would always have a way of getting to me and trying to get me to agree to his request. I really do want to understand what goes on in his head for think that I would just agree to his requests.Since the day that I had left his office, he kept on flooding my phone with messages, trying to convince me to come and work under him. But I could swear that there is more to that, there has to be something that he needs from me which I can’t give to him, not when I have my babies to take care of. “Miss Riley right?” a young lady, whose face I had instantly recognized asked.A smile was plastered on her face as I shook my head yes. “I didn’t think that you would be coming back when you dipped out all of a sudden without saying goodbyes.” Sandy complained.Sandy was a close friend that I had gotten from the college after Zelia and she is someone that I knew I could count on, even thoug
