It all started when I first met him when I was 18 years old, I just finished college with my master degree of an entrepreneur; basically running my own business of whatever I want. I had a few degrees up my sleeves but that's the one I say to people.
As I was working in my coffee shop for the moment, when he came in and ordered his original: triple shot espresso with whip cream and a cream filling glaze donut. His order came to $15 and he left me a $5 tip each time he ordered his meal.He would come in at least 2x a day 5x a week. And each time he would come in, it was the same each time. He would flirt, joke with me about everything. And yes, I would take his flirts, what woman wouldn't right? He was a cute young man, built very tough like he used to do football in high school or college or even do that now. But then I thought about it, they say he eats these donuts there's no way he's a NFL player. But I never asked.About a few months after I had opened my shop, he came in at the same time. But by the 5th month of me being open, he came to me and handed me his card and told him to call him.When I looked at the card, it had said Jefferson Enterprise. So he was a business man. Which he made that moolah, that green, that money. But if he worked there, why was he coming here and talking to me for.Mark was a cool collective guy. Made sure that I was making my money for the day when told him I had a goal to have at least $50 a day. When I didn't, he would put a ball of money in my tip jar. Which would bring a huge smile to my face.I was falling for him, for what he was doing. What man would do such a thing like this for a gal like me unless they liked the person.After 7 months down, two months in of us talking, we finally went on a date. He gave me a black card and told me to find a nice dress for our date and do what I got to do on him.After about 10 dates, we made it official. We did everything together as a couple. When we were off, we hiked, camping, fished, went on so many dates to restaurants that I've never been to, because of the price or never heard of them.About a year of us dating, he was made CEO of the company he worked at and later on I found out that his name was Mark Jefferson. His father owned the company and passed it down to him.Two years of us dating, we finally kinda moved in together. He bought me a house and since he travels for work a lot, he put it in my name. And I loved it how he done all this for me.Until one night, we went to a work banquet dinner. I wore a nice off the shoulder silver dress with black heels. He had a limo ready to pick me up at home while he was at work. When I got there, I went to find him in his office. When I found him, he was all over a woman kissing on her. When he saw me, I walked away and he ran after me. He told me it was his sister. So I was okay with it.While during the dinner thing, he didn't sit with me or love on me. He sat with his family, which I thought okay that's fine until I heard someone yell out daddy. When I looked I saw two kids come running towards him and his sister. But instead of saying aunt, they said mommy. I was shocked, speechless.I looked at the woman that was sitting next to me, she was his secretary and when I asked who they were she said that was his family. His wife and kids. I started to tear up a little bit.It was bad enough I was feeling weird for the past few weeks to a month. But I thought it was just my allergies acting crazy. But right now, I just wanted to leave and crawl into bed and cry. So I got up, moved my chair back knocking it back on the floor, making Mark and his family look at me.He stood up and went to come after me but I took off running. All I heard was him yelling my name."Carrie, stop. What's wrong?""You have a family. Wife, kids. You said that was your sister how could you." I yelled at him.How bad I was yelling at him, his family came outside watching us. When I seen they were looking at us, I lost it."Mark, I want you out of my house and never ever reach me ever again. Don't come to my coffee shop anymore. We're done, over." I said as I reached my limo.I saw his sister, wife whatever she was, yelling at him. I felt bad about how this went but I had to do what I had to do.I wanted to leave this place forever. I wanted to start all over and began again. I had to leave this place, because this was a huge problem with us, because everywhere I got I see him. My shop, my house, the stores.But that didn't stop when his wife showed up at my shop wanting to talk to me at my house. So I agreed to have her come to my house after I get off work.After work, we met at my house and we talked. I told her I was sorry and didn't know. And she was the same way with me. That he told her he was very sorry and wanted to try again with them. He said he felt off with her like they lost their love but after she brought up divorce he lost it. He said he didn't want that for the kids.I told her it would be best for the kids but didn't want nothing to do with him. And that I was going to file for a restraining order on him. She said that would be fine.About a month later, I had found a house that was a few states away and it was close to a lot of stores that were for sale.After I got my apartment that I was renting, I got a store that was close that was cheap and got it. Once it was done, it was time to pack up and leave. I had to do what was good for myself.After a few months after settling in, I was getting sick and I was late. I was worried about my health so I had went to the doctors. They did everything test they could only me to see what was wrong with me. A few days later, I get a call to come back, so I did. When I came back, the doctor told me I was pregnant.I started to freak out a little bit because only person I've ever had sex with was Mark. My life was a totally hell and I didn't know what to do. What should I do? I had a million things going through my head right now. A lot of questions, should I tell him? Should I get rid of it? Should I keep it and not tell him? Should I keep it and tell him? Should I get rid of it and not tell him?I was lost for the moment.....So here's a little short preface of what this story is going to be like. Just hope everyone will like this short story. Its a little out of my style but I wanted to try something different out of what I do.Comment to tell me what you think of it....XoxoxoI was a little girl who dreamt of big dreams of becoming what I want in life. I was only 7 years old. My parents always told me to dream big or don't dream at all, because I won't succeed in life. I always believe that.So by the time I had finished grade schedule and went to high school, I joined every club that I could. I was a very smart girl at my age and yes I got picked on but I didn't care. I didn't let it faze me one single bit. But for my smart cuteness, a lot of guys would hit on me ask me out but they only would use me to help them get their grades up. Some would try to get into my pants but I wouldn't allow them too.By the time I had graduated high school with a GPA of 4.7 and only being 15 years old, was a shock to some. Even when I went to college, my head master was shocked when she read my transcript but was very pleased.She asked me what I wanted in life, what I wanted to accomplish? I told her I want it all, I want to accomplish everything in lif
About a few weeks of my store being open, I've been having people left and right coming in and asking for my coffee. Some would just come in and use the wifi or watch the news when it was on to pass the time. But I didn't care, what they were doing as long as they were coming in.My first few nights, it was okay, it was slow but only because I just opened. I wasn't expecting it to be busy. My family came and saw the shop and said that they told all their friends about this place and they've even put it on their Facebook. Which was a great idea. So I done the same thing. I went to make a page and a group of my business and even paid the money to broadcast it all over. I've even put it in the papers at some of the newspaper companies and after about my 3rd week, I was bringing in business. It was all unbelievable how fast this was coming along.By my 2nd month, I hired two people. One to help cook the foods that I had put on the menus which was small easy stuff for n
I didn't have a lot of money to my name and with the shop, it took a lot of the money I had saved up. Something bad would happen, something would break and need to be fix. It would just put me in more dept that I didn't need.And with all the tips that the store made in the day, I had made a goal for us to have at least $50 but some days we wouldn't even make it there. But what tips we got, me and the crew both agree to save them for the shop to get what we need fixed until then its not our money.As promised, I did come into work looking cute just for a certain person. But I feel like I'm trying too hard. I don't even know his name, he could have a family, or even be gay all I know. There goes Kyle's shot to him. Which made me laugh just thinking about that. Someone I liked turn out being gay and he takes him from me.But I spoke too soon, he came in one evening where there was a few people drinking their drink and eating whatever they ordered as they watched the n
A year into this shop, I've got it where I want it all. I've hired a few more people to help keep the shop running with me, Kyle and Kylie, so one of us can take more than one day off, which was very greatful. I've also changed the hours since there's more people as well and since I've done that, I've got like 50% more people than I was before.Thanks to Mark, he's helped me fix everything that needed to be fixing in this small ass shop. After I got everything where I wanted, Mark had asked if I was willing to expand my store to either make it bigger or get another store. I did think about it and I did want to get another store but not right now. I want to get more into this more before I could find the money and courage of making that big leap. I mean I had faith in myself just if I moved to another area, how am I gonna keep boh of these places running on my own. Yes I could hire more people but money is the answer.Mark was willing to help me with everything but
Once the driver got me, we went into town. He drove me to a shopping mall that I would never find myself going into. When he pulled up, he got out and opened the door for me. As I got out, a lady in her middle 40's came out and greeted me. She told me that Mark had called her and told her to tell me find something cute, no sexy, in his words, for me for tonight.I nervously nodded my head as she grabbed my hand and towed me with her to the back where the the dressing rooms were at. When I got back there I saw two racks with dresses on it. One had long sexy dresses and the other was short simple cute dresses. She pulled out two dresses, one of each and placed them in front of me and turned me towards the mirror. They both were cute, mo what was I kidding, they were sexy. Again something I wouldn't dare wear because I don't have the money. But he was paying for this for me."So what colors do you like, I might just have for you." She asked."Red, blue, and purple. Som
After the awesomesauce date, it was back to business once again. It was back to the real world now. Even though Mark would come into the store to see me and get his order, I felt like we've headed to this direction that we both like each other but I'm scared to see where that gonna take me.When we first met, he would come in a day or two a week, then twice a day a few days that week to coming almost everyday just to see me. At first I thought he was a stalker or just a man who likes my coffee and cakes but it was just more than that. After our 1st date, he had came to my job to bring me flowers every day, which brought a smile to my face and some of my customers would just smile and be all awe, how cute. Yes it was cute and it made my home and my store smelling good on top of my food and coffee. But that didn't end there. Even though I don't live far from work, its just a 5-10 minute walk, he would have a driver waiting for me to take me home. The first time I tr
A lot has happened to me in my life since I can remember. From pre-k to elementary school to middle/high school then to college. It was rocky for me in middle/high school but once I got away I saw it all. And just being with Mark, I see everything. On our one year anniversary, he took me with him to a work convention in Paris, France. I left the store to the girls to be in charge while was done and I trust them.When he was at work, I would walk around and sight see the most magical things that I would never expected to see in my life. The food was great, the people were nice and friendly. And when it came to shopping, he told me whatever I wanted use the black card and god I did.I bought some cute dresses that he would love when we went out to eat together. I got some cute everything to be honest and mostly some really sexy lingerie that I would never see myself wearing and well, he was bringing out a whole new me. I got shoes, jewelry that was cute. I probably spent
After coming home from our little trip, it was back to business for everyone. He was doing what he done best with his company and well; staying away from me. I was worried a little but I knew how it was when you're busy.The guys kept me company, when they could along me working my butt off. When I wasn't working I was at home keeping to myself until one day he had came over and told me why he was away for so long.While we were away on our trip, something had happened durning that time and he had been staying at the office to make sure everything was getting back to normal. But he said all I needed to worry about was him, when he was coming back to me. Other words, just do me. Which I had done.When I wasn't at my shop, on my days off, I would visit him at his office with lunch or dinner if it was late. And which it was some nights.Every time I bought it up, he would ask me to come after work hours so no one would say a thing about it. Because there was some n
