MasukMARKAlexa and I found ourselves in the bedroom. I had completely forgotten that I was supposed to be weak and ill.We just couldn’t get up the stairs fast enough.At some point, I even had to lift Alexa slightly so that she would be able to go up the stairs as fast as I was going. And then before we got to the bedroom, we were already taking off each other’s clothes and littering them on the aisle.I kissed Alexa as though my life depended on it.It seemed like the last time I tasted her lips was months ago.“Gosh, Alexa, I missed you so much,” I murmured into her mouth before deepening the kiss.And that prevented Alexa from giving a response.I didn’t even need the response. What was important right now was the fact that we both needed to feel each other badly.Gently, I lay Alexa on the bed and then proceeded to turn her around so that I could have her from behind, but Alexa stopped me.“I need you to go fast, Mark,” Alexa demanded huskily. “I want you to pound into me like you ha
ALEXA“Come in, Mark,” I eventually said when it seemed as though an eternity of silence had passed between us.Vector led a weak Mark into the living room.“Do you want me to help you upstairs or would you rather have Vector do it?” I asked Mark.Maybe he might prefer it if Vector did although I wouldn’t have minded. I had looked after Mark in worse conditions.“I think I can make it up the stairs on my own,” Mark responded tiredly.“Are you sure?” I asked worriedly.I hadn’t seen Mark this weak in a really long time. The last time I did, it was after he got out of coma, but I was trying not to think about those moments because that would only lead me to thinking about all the hurt and ingratitude that came with it.“Yes, I am,” Mark responded.“And I really should be on my way,” Vector said.And that was when I recalled that Vector was truly here. My whole attention had been solely on Mark that I hadn’t even paid any attention to Vector, or maybe it was because he didn’t need my att
MARK“Did it work? What did Alexa say? What is her response?” I asked Vector frantically when he returned to the car.Waiting in the car had to be one of the longest wait I have experienced recently.Too many thoughts had run through my mind.Alexa Silver was extremely stubborn. I had met a lot of stubborn women, but never had I met anyone as obstinate as Alexa, especially when she was upset, and I knew that after being after all day after my promises to be back soon, she would be livid as hell.And that was enough for her to say that I had failed the condition that she had given me, and that she wouldn’t want to marry me.“Did she buy it?” I kept asking Vector worriedly without even giving him the chance to answer any of the questions I had asked. “Give me an answer, Vector,” I urged him.Vector came up with this genius idea and I accepted without hesitation because I couldn’t think of anything else, but I knew without a doubt that I would blame Vector if this backfired or if Alexa d
ALEXA“Did you enjoy dinner, ma’am?” Lora asked me.“Yes, I did,” I answered.I was certain that the food was good because since Lora got here, she had always made delicious meals, only that I was so pissed off that I didn’t feel the taste of the food in my mouth. It was as though I was shoving dust down my throat.But I couldn’t tell Lora that because it wasn’t her fault.I was pissed off.All day, Mark Ronaldo neither showed up nor called.Was he looking for an opportunity to leave?Since I accepted Mark back into my life, there hadn’t been anything sexual between us. Not even a relationship. Even though we didn’t categorically state it, we both knew that we weren’t back together; it was all for the baby.Thinking of it now, Mark and I never really dated.In Toronto and a few weeks after we got back, it was just sex. There was never a relationship definition, and it was just the same as what was happening right now. If I hadn’t called Mark last night, he wouldn’t have spent the nigh
MARKI stopped the car when I arrived at Vector’s house and got out of the car.I should be at Alexa’s now, I knew that, but I realized that there wasn’t any convincing lie I could cook up as to why I stayed away all day.Alexa would even be too upset to listen to anything I had to say.So, I had to come up with something that would save me from her wrath, and the only person I could think of that would help me was Vector.I rang Vector’s doorbell as soon as I got to his front door. A few seconds later, a blond lady arrived at the door and yanked it open, much to my surprise and confusion.She even had a bright smile on her face, and I wondered if she smiled at all strangers like this because I was pretty sure we had never met before.“Hi, Mark, good evening!” She greeted cheerily.I reared my head back in confusion.“Who are you and how do you know my name?” I asked her.I would have guess that she was Vector’s sister, but Vector and I had been friends for more than a decade now and
MARK“Mark, you haven’t answered my question,” Mona said, following me downstairs.“And I will not, Mona. I have every right not to answer your question,” I responded fiercely.I hated the fact that Mona had now made my house unbearable for me. The entire day, she had stayed here and I hadn’t been this miserable and frustrated in a really long time. I could only imagine how it would have been if I had spent the night here with her.If Alexa hadn’t called, I probably would have slept here.“Are you in love with Alexa? Is she the reason why you don’t want to love me in return or take responsibility for your baby?” Mona pushed stubbornly.By the time I got to the foot of the stairs, I was already livid.I swirled around and faced Mona angrily.“Listen, Mona, I am not going to answer questions I don’t want to answer to,” I said.“That means it’s true,” Mona said as realization dawned on her. “If you are avoiding the conversation this much and refusing to answer a simple question, it means
IVY“Hey,” Lina Barry called.This was the third time this week she was coming to me and trying to strike a conversation but I just wasn’t paying much attention to her.“You haven’t told me what is going on, Ivy. Since the day you were supposed to have your doctor’s appointment but couldn’t because
ALEXA“Look what you have…” I started to berate Dina, who had the decency to stop and help the person she had knocked to the ground, but I stopped when I saw who it was.I stood there, shell-shocked…unable to move and breathe.“I am so sorry, ma’am,” Dina apologized.I had thought that Dina would c
ALEXADonald Shell’s cold condolence disturbed me for the entire night, and it got worse when I had yet another nightmare about him.I woke up panting and sweating.“How long is this going to keep happening to me?” I asked myself dejectedly.The whole thing was taking its toll on me, and unfortunat
ALEXAI might have dozed off for a few seconds, or maybe minutes after the nurse left, I wasn’t sure, but when I opened my eyes again, the aching in my head had dissipated.She did inform me that Mark was waiting with his friends to see me, and my guess was that he would be with Vector, and I had s
