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
NATHANIEL'S POVA soft music filtered through the air, I laid myself out after a session of massage. I could feel the tingle in my feet as I stretched myself over the bench at the side of the pool staring straight at the sun.My black shades did well to reflect some of the light away from my eyes, I smiled to myself enjoying the feeling I was getting.As the music infiltrated through my ears as I supported my head with my two hands and basked in the sunlight."How are you doing old man?" Alexis' voice echoed right beside where I was.I pulled the shades up on my face and stared at him."You decided to come back to me today." I joked."Don't take this hard on yourself." Alexis said laughing. He sat close to where I was sitting."How have you been?" Alexis asked."Well, I've been getting stuff out of my head.""Are you sure you are not taking things too hard on yourself?" Alexis asked."What do you mean?" I asked him."Well you've gone MIA since the last time you left Jane house.""
OLIVIA'S POVTHE leftovers of Adrenaline still rattled between us, I could feel it …I could sense it, Jane had tried hiding it as she parked the car into the garage of the cheap motel we had stopped by to spend the night according to Jane going to her house was a bad idea and I agreed with her.We walked toward the counter of a receptionist who appeared to be bored with her job, as she was chewing gum and filing her nails.She looked at us and rolled her eyes."We need a room with double beds." Jane said walking up to where she was as I stayed with the bags.I looked outside and almost panicked when I saw an SUV drive past our car. For a minute I had thought it was one of my father's men but as it drove past our car I sighed in relief.Jane came back with the keys, I asked about the bills and all she said was that it had already been taken care of.We pulled our bags and moved out of the reception back outside before climbing the steps up to our room.We sighed when we opened the door
OLIVIA'S POVI walked the early morning streets that had most of the shops closed. The cloud still had the early morning sun tamed as the early morning mist fell from the sky.Pulling the hood over my sweater over my head as I walked on. Warmth brushed my bare back, the whisper of a thrill trailing behind as the sun appeared to be rising over the horizon.Finally I could see a store that was just opening at the far end, I joined the people that were queuing to get in and after a minute or two we were out of the sun and inside the cooler store that had a fan whirling slowly.A while later I was walking to the counter to pay for the groceries and other usable things I had gotten, the old couples had a smile on their face as I passed the credit card to them. I had taken extra cash with me as I had thought my father might have been blocked but surprisingly enough it worked.Soon I was walking out again with the groceries bags in both of my hands, I climbed up the steps to my room and ste
