NATHANIEL POVThere was a saying among us, when you want to fall in love do it in tiny bit and not from a very high distance so you wouldn't have your heart broken.It was crap saying this and I wouldn't have believed in it if I had not experienced it on my own.I watched as Jean dialed the number the third and she still wasn't picking."Did you tell her I would be here?" I asked ."Yes I did Jean answered, I am just worried she is not picking." Jean grimaced."Well, I guess she is not so keen on seeing me then." I said looking disappointed."How so?” she said as adding some ice to my glass.“It was pretty annoying.” I said , "First she doesn't call now she is aware I am around and she is shying away, isn't it so glaring to see." I said and gave a look that showed I had never been so disappointed in my life .Alexis sees the look on face and shares the worry, he was not so used to seeing me act this way over a lady and if I did it meant this lady actual was the world to me.Alex
NATHANIEL’s POVThe name "Dennis" sparked something in my memory, I looked toward Alexis and could that he was trying to recollect the name same as I was.I tried to think back at the name, not believing I had forgotten it.Then it stuck in my head, Dennis!. How could forget that name that was linked to a outrageous sorcery. I needed to be sure anyways I was just not concluding in baseless facts so I turned to Jane ." Are you telling me Olivia is a witch?" I asked hoping deep within me I was wrong and was only confusing the name with another or probably it was an entirely different Dennis . There is no god-damned way I would have fucked a witch without knowing it.I could see the worry in Alexis eyes as he toward his direction, I could tell he was thinking by the same thing as well."Yeah, she is ." Jane answered and looked at us two puzzled probably trying to figure out how we had come to that conclusion.I ran my hands through my already ruffled hair, not wanting to believe I ha
OLIVIA POVI stared at the eyesore poster on the wall that had been hanging for as long as I could remember.Mother had complained about it on several occasions but I just wouldn't take it down, not just yet.It was boring being without a phone for the past two days since my father broke the screen to my last, I had ran up the stairs after dinner and cried myself to sleep that very night.It was funny how nauseous I am feeling off late, it had started quite early yesterday morning. The nauseous . The fever. The weight gain. All that been becoming more noticeable this days least to forget my insatiable appetite.It was a good thing mother hadn't noticed as I was sure she would have been asking probing questions, trust mother's.The sudden illness reminded me I hadn't seen my period for the month. I counted my fingers and stared at the calendar and saw I was two days late.I shrugged one of my shoulders, considering it normal to get late periods due to my heightened hormonal imbalance
NATHANIEL POVI had just one way of relieving stress apart from smoking and alcohol and that for me was kick boxing.I spent the next one week at the gym training three hours a day, hoping that would be able to burn out the excess energy that was building up from tension and maybe anger.My days started with a run just before the sun is fully risen across the sky, a few runing and hill climbing and then a three hour gym session.The evening ended when I did another long run and then I settled for my smoke and drink.At the gym, I practiced sparing with one of my Beta's he was a good fighter as much as I was but it always ended with me kicking his ass.It started with us throwing light punches, I had wanted Andrew not to hold back but instead hit me with the best punches he had. He did he gave me a good one that sent my head into reset as I cheered him on.I wanted Andrew to hit every single memory of her out of my head.We circled round ourselves again as we threw light punches. I
OLIVIA'S POVWas I pregnant?The shock of the word itself drained out every other sense of will and purpose I had.Jane couldn't possibly be right, but if there was going to be anyone with more experience at stuff like this it would most definitely be Jane.Jane of course has not gotten pregnant herself but she worked as an intern in a hospital so she most definitely knows stuff like this, if Jane was saying I was pregnant then that definitely has to be the case, I most definitely was.It would be shameful to be as a young woman that I hadn't recognised the symptoms. Everything had been there so glaring apart from my late cycle.I had been putting on a bit more weight lately, the tone of my skin was becoming paler, I pushed up my sweater to check my nipples and could see it had become darkened as well."Dammit" I thought to myself. I looked at the other me in the mirror and she gave me a displeasing look to show how bad it was in the bigger picture.If she was looking at me this way
OLIVIA'S POVSunlight creeped through the window of the hospital lighting it up as intern's and nurses moved to and fro.I could perceive an antiseptic scent that came with hospitals and twitched my nose at it.A trolley was pushed out in an emergency and doctor's intern's rushed out to help push an almost lifeless man in while covering his nose with oxygen.I heaved deeply at the sight as Jane came back to join me where I was standing with a tag in her hand.Jane was off duty today but she had come along with me and been the one to give me a form to click, we sat while listening to a short talk about maternity care and for a minute I felt drawn deep into the talk of what it would look like to be a mother.I waited till my name was called hoping the dark shades I had brought with me did well to hide my identity."Olivia Dennis."I looked up at the nurse that called my name, I stared at her name tag "Samantha Martinez.""Alright, come with me." She said as she walked through the hal
OLIVIA'S POVThe next few minutes went very emotional for me, in-between my decision of keeping the child and the array of confusion and anxiety I broke down into a brief moment of tears and when I was done, the dustbin close to us was filled with used tissue with another box still in my hands.It was a good thing I had my good friends around at this moment, my head was nestled on Jane's shoulder as Mike walked back with a bottle of water at room temperature."Olivia, you have to get yourself together." Jane said as soon as Mike reached us."Is she still crying?" Mike asked.I sniffed my nose and wiped my hands with a tissue before discarding it and taking the water from his hands. I looked at my two favorite friends from one person to the other and muttered a thank you.I looked around the room for the first time since I walked out."Did I embarrass you guys?" I asked with a concerned look on my face."Us?" Mike sounded amused . "You did a good job embarrassing yourself." Mike said.
My heart beat at an incredibly fast speed, for a while my vision was blurred by the light over her head. I blinked my eyes again to look at her as I sighed relieved that it was only her, my favorite maid.She didn't ask any questions but fluttered her eyes as she looked at me, she was surprised I was with a bag as I could see her lips form in an "O".It was obvious, I was eloping."Mary." I muttered at the maid they had sent to get me. "Tell no one about this till I might have left."I paused as I looked her deep in the eyes." Can I trust you?"Mary nods. "Yes ma'am.""Good give me twenty minutes before you announce my disappearance." I walked away quickly. "And Mary made it a good scene."I gave her a thumbs up.She nodded her head and I could guess that the question on her mind would most probably be. " Where the hell is she going to?"She smiled at me instead and locked her lips with an imaginary lock and threw the keys away."Good." I said as I raced down the stairs.I was awar
