Stole Heart

Tabitha blinked at the tidings she had just heard on her cell phone. The cell phone unknowingly slipped out of her hands and fell on the carpet covering her bedroom floor. It all feels like a dream. Just last night, she went out to Dinner with Ethan and told her boyfriend she was pregnant. Ethan's reaction was initially shocked, and the next second he was overjoyed to hear of Tabitha's pregnancy. The man kissed her deeply and intensely. Ethan said they would marry soon and tell his family about Tabitha's pregnancy. However, now she got information from her friend that the man died in an accident this morning."He died on the spot, Tabby. With an eighteen-year-old girl. They're drunk."She had just heard those words from Lana, her best friend. She sat slowly on the edge of his bed.Ethan died with a girl.Those words kept ringing in her head. Tabitha didn't know whether to be sad or angry at the news that shook her. Even she was confused, was she surprised by the timing of Ethan's deat

Tabitha managed the sale of her apartment quietly and didn't tell her family, not even anyone. She can't trust anyone right now. Except for her parents, they certainly wouldn't allow her to leave Seattle. Tabitha was to fix the mess in her life. She wouldn't drag anyone into her troubles.She's leaving Seattle, where her destination is her Grandmother's hometown, Madisonville, Texas.The proceeds from selling her apartment, car, and jewelry are quite a lot. Her savings over the years will be enough to cover the rent apartment and even the cost of maternity if she hasn't found a job in Madisonville.Last night she visited her parents, she secretly considered it a farewell, and Tabitha promised to contact her parents in Texas. Still, she would keep her whereabouts a secret.Tabitha resigned this morning, and she was leaving Seattle on a flight tonight. She had already found an apartment in Madisonville via the internet and contacted the owner.Tabitha leave Seattle and took a taxi to th

Tabitha almost ran to the kitchen door, but she held herself because she didn't want to look stupid. Once in the kitchen, Tabitha leaned on the kitchen table as if she needed to rest. With a short breath, she took her hand on her throbbing forehead, then asked herself softly, "What's wrong with me?"That guy... my gosh, he amazing guy was driving her crazy. Tabitha trembled. There was a warm sensation on her thigh. She thought because of the effect of her shorts pants, but now she is willing to feel from within. She pressed her hands on the tops of her breasts, hoping that her body would get back to normal. The pregnant hormones she had read about seemed to be true."Can I help you?"Tabitha jumped when she heard the voice so close behind her. "Wh-what? Oh, no. What would you like to drink? Coke, right?""Yeah," Keith smiled.Tabitha, nervous, uncorked a Coke bottle. She had taken from the fridge. How long has the bottle been in there? What if it's already bargained?The glass rattled

Ursula's house was bustling with guests. Mexican music is heard. During the trip, Tabitha didn't say much except Keith spoke to her. The guy turned off his car and got out of the car. Tabitha didn't wait for Keith to open the door for her, and at the same time she opened the car door, Keith was already standing up to open it for her."You won't let me be a real man, will you?" Keith smiled playfully and teasingly."Opening car door to women won't necessarily make you a gentleman," Tabitha retorted.Keith was still smiling and eyed Tabitha, who looked so beautiful. "I'm afraid that your beauty will steal everyone's attention, and forget about the host throwing the party."Tabitha snorted. "You're too much."Keith was tempted to grab Tabitha's hand, but he resisted. They crossed brick terraces and grassy, neatly trimmed, low-walled pathways circling the rose garden. The host, who already knew Tabitha, immediately greeted their arrival with a friendly smile."Oh, honey... you finally cam
