تسجيل الدخولALEXAHaving Mark wrap his arms around me for the second night in a row felt unreal. It felt safe, and a tiny part of me wanted this every single night.For all the cold and lonely nights, this felt like a compensation, and I really wouldn’t like to go back to those nights, especially now that the baby was growing.In a few months, we would welcome our child.Our child…Some weeks ago, I didn’t want Mark anywhere around me. I didn’t even want him to know that I was having a baby, but right now, lying next to him after two rounds of lovemaking in the middle of the night, it felt as though we were a complete and perfect family.Still, I was worried.With Mark, it had never been rosy.There was always one heartbreak or the next looming around and frankly, I didn’t think I wanted to have anything to do with a heartbreak, especially if it would come from Mark.I was still reminiscing on the thought when I felt Mark’s hand on my stomach, and gently, he caressed my bump which seemed to have
MARKAlexa 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
MARKI thought that Mr. Porshia would change his mind about coming to see them after he learned the truth, but he didn’t, and so I left my company and went to meet them at the address that was sent to me.It was just a couple of minutes drive from my company, and in no time, I arrived there.Canon
ALEXA“Oh, you are awake,” the nurse said as she walked into my ward.Even though I couldn’t see outside of the window right now, I knew that it was dark already. Somehow, I had dozed off after seeing the news, but it had been one of the worst sleeps I had had recently.From running away from Donal
MARKI had a very busy day at work, so much that I didn’t even have the time to think about anything else. The day before, Reyna had told me that there was nothing to bother about when it came to Alexa because the autopsy wasn’t out yet and she didn’t have any issues with her business at the momen
MARK“You haven’t moved an inch since I left you here, Mark,” Vector said as he returned to the hospital reception.It had been hours since Mr. Silver went into surgery.It had been hours since Alexa declared that she didn’t want to set her eyes on me.Reyna had waited for another hour, but when sh
