Chapter 26
I walked up to the familiar porch and the humble-looking cottage where I had grown up, the trees which I planted when I was only five years old had overgrown the barn and stood lonely in the night. The past few days, I was a mess with my thoughts consuming me. I know better than to let Celine’s word get to me but I can't seem to dismiss it fully. There was a constant annoying gnawing thought at the back of my stubborn thick head. I knew my mother would raise suspicion if I were to ask her now after I had promised her I wouldn't ever bring up the sad excuse of my biological father. So, I needed a different approach. It took a lot of willpower for me to just turn back and forget everything and continue living my life with my husband who showers me with love. What more do I need?
The last thought was very tempting and convincing, but I was also curious to know what type of man my father was.
I walked int
Chapter 27 He laid on top of my body, exhausted from the exercise we just did, our breath labored and we pant heavily. It was just another blissful night, Callum had arrived from his Work only an hour ago but he was in a rush today. Callum not only possessed the body of a Greek God, he was wild in bed and knew how to please his women. His touch was insatiable and no matter how many times we had sex, I would still crave for it. His finger trail up my thigh and grip my hips, I shivered uncontrollably. “Callum,” I called out, hearing his deep breathing. He hummed against my stomach. I slowly stroked his head and ran my finger through his brown hair. “You are fucking amazing everytime,” he rolled over and came up to sleep beside me. He propped his elbow and stared at my face,sideways. His fingers traced my skin, instinctively. There was a consta
Chapter 28 I groaned and rolled over the bed, there was a hammering headache and it felt like I fell down the stairs. It starts to throb and I find it hard to open my eye. “So, You're finally awake!” A voice boomed across the room. I moaned and caught my head between my palms. I looked up and there Callum sat on the chair with his leg-crossed and sipping on his coffee Casually,like watching a person sleeping is not at all creepy. “What’s the time?” I croaked out,I sat up and took a moment to squeeze the pain out of my head. I was failing miserably. “It’s ten, ” Callum replies, looking slightly annoyed. I stood up and walked past him holding my throbbing head between my palms. It is too early to deal with anyone, especially Callum who hates drinking as much as I hate betrayal. My stomach churned, bile rose up and it didn't take
Chapter 29 Aiden and Cassandra having a baby together is a lot to take in. Just a few months ago, they couldn't tolerate each other's presence and now they are sitting on my couch, cuddling and talking about the baby. Despite Their differences,their history of the incapability to withhold a single conversation without ending with an argument and fights, I was happy and wariness overpower the positive side. They are my two best friends and I don't want any complications and lose any of them. I may sound selfish but my two best friends don't have a good record when it comes to relationships but that doesn't mean I am not excited for the baby. “Tess,You won't believe this, Aiden won something” Cassandra exclaimed. Yep! I don't believe you guys are having a baby! “Why is it so unbelievable for me to win something?” Aiden stated the obvious,kissing Cassandra’s side of the head.&nb
Chapter 30 Callum Pov Tessa had something on her mind, I sensed it. My instinct was right when she started throwing the dishes in the sink, I was waiting for her to talk, yet she avoided me fully,not even giving me a chance to ask her what was bothering her. It drives me crazy sometimes but I knew it would be all okay after a few days but it's been one fucking week with her ignoring me like a plaque. I was starting to lose my sanity, I couldn't concentrate on my work let alone join a meeting, her ignorance is punishing me for some reason I don't understand. The sounds of glasses shattering snapped my attention to reality, glasses were broken and Tessa stood on the dishwasher with blood oozing out of her finger yet she just stood there, without blinking. It was like her body was immobile and she was in a daze. “Tessa!” The glare she sent me made me freeze. However, I was done
Chapter 31 “Tessa, I think we should talk,” it was Aiden who stomped past me and walked towards the kitchen counter. He looked furious and I got a feeling it had something to do with a certain someone. “Come in,” I whispered and walked back to where he sat. I continued with my cooking, flipping the fried potato like a chef. I was waiting for him to talk. My own issues with my husband makes me depressed and I wasn't sure if I can handle his problems. “Cassandra is a fucking tease, Do you know he kissed her ex-boyfriend yesterday! I thought she was in love with me!” typical Cassandra. I know for a fact that she fell in love with Aiden in the short period and she was scared. But I can either be wrong or be seeing things the wrong way? “She loves you,” I said. “If she doesn't love you, she won't be happy with the pregnancy” it was the truth, I always
Chapter 32 The skies are coloured with blue and white with thick clouds gathering together forming a huge cloud and boom, the sun disappears and the rain starts pattering on the ground. I was watching the whole thing, like it had something to do with me. I was proud of myself for accomplishing the task of cloud watching,not sure, if the other thinks that too. Cassandra,Aiden,Callum and I were to head down the bar tonight, it was supposed to be a celebration for Cassandra’s pregnancy. Although I was excited for her, I can't deny the ugly feeling of longing. I was only twenty four and why the hell was I so eager to have a baby? Life can be such a bitch sometimes especially when I was in my period instead of being pregnant with my first baby. For tonight, I chose my maroon tight dress with lace covering my back, and a bra wasn't needed. I paired it with my highest pair of stiletto heels that Callum bo
Chapter 33 “You look beautiful Honey, I am so proud of you,” Cassandra’s mom wiped her tears with her hankies and watched as Cassandra tried on her wedding dress. I got choked up with my emotions while Cassandra rolled her eyes when she saw her mother and me. “Guys, stop crying, I am not marrying an Alien,” Cassandra is four months pregnant now and most of the time, I restrain myself from throttling her neck. She's the most annoying preggy woman I had ever encountered, and poor Aiden was the one who suffered the most since he was the one who put the baby in that demon. “Honey, I can't believe you'll be a mom soon” Cassandra’s mom kept fanning her eyes in order to dry her tears. She looked ridiculous but a mom is emotionally caring and attentive most of the time. “I am so excited,mom. But-” Cassandra hesitated, “Do you think I'll be okay? I am not exactly
Chapter 34I flung myself towards Calum when he opened the door, he chuckled at me and buried his face in my hair. I missed him so much that it hurt. His scent of citrus and manly scent eases me, I inhaled his scent earning a deep chuckled from my husband. “I missed you Cal,”“Miss you more, babe”We made dinner together, Callum would always find an excuse to touch me and I found myself loving the attention. He's gone for only three freaking days and I am acting like a starved animal, hungered for his touch and attention. Stupid hormones.“I am so excited for the next few days,Callum. Do you think Aiden will bawl his heart out!?” I laughed and imagined my two best friends walking down the aisle, Kissing and saying their vows. They are damn too romantic and cute.“I am more excited for tonight,” he wiggles his eyebrows, I s
