Allison got to the hospital with renewed vigour. She deposited the payment and asked the doctors to commence treatment. For once, she is going to sleep well at night. She was still scared but she was hopeful.
Allison entered Kylie's ward without the usual moodiness on her face. She even seemed brighter.
"Hey Kylie. I finally got the money for your treatment. I told you I would" She smiled a little.
"Just be strong for me okay and wake up soon" Allison sat down and she finally felt all her exhaustion telling on her. In a few minutes, she drifted to sleep.Allison woke up in her bedroom the next morning, got ready and decided to meet with her friend. She had sent Delia a text the previous night that they should meet up.
Delia has been her friend since high school, they went to the same college and went through a lot together. She and Delia tell each other everything but she don't know how to tell her about this because Delia has always been protective of her.Inside a small restaurant, Allison is seen with a sophisticated looking girl dressed in a black jean and a leather jacket with her hair packed in a ponytail with deep blue irises peering intently at her.
"what... what did you just say? Calvin? U mean the CEO of Bruce enterprise?" Delia asked with an exaggerated excitement.
"Keep it down will you"
"How do you expect me to be calm about this? No way! How did you do it? I always knew that you were too beautiful for your own good. Do you know how handsome and super rich he is? So you are telling me that Calvin Bruce asked you to be his girlfriend? Somebody pinch me" Allison could only roll her eyes at her annoying friend, Delia has always been so dramatic
"Yes" She knew she lied about being his girlfriend but she couldn't bring herself to tell her that she is going to be his so called 'possession'.
Delia would have been jumping if it wasn't for the people around them and for the fact Allison is looking at her with warning eyes."whoa... And he paid for Kylie's bills?"
Allison only nodded"I'm so happy for you Ally, I was so scared and I know you were scared too. I wish Kylie will just get up from there, she doesn't deserve this you know. she's too good for this world" She said with a sad voice.Allison chuckled"What's so funny?"
"You are really a drama queen you know. Just a few moments ago, u were practically screaming and now you are sad. Your ability to switch between moods in seconds still baffles me"
"Whatever" She rolled her eyes and picked up glass of wine to drink
"Uhm... Calvin wants me to live with him" Allison said timidly
"What..." She almost choked on her drinking spilling it out and coughing.
"Isn't it too soon? Have he taken you on any date? Live with him? No way! That's not happening, at least not yet. I haven't even met him. I need to tell him not to mess with you first. Don't tell me you agreed to this" She was getting annoyed"Delia calm down. He helped me with Kylie you know. I don't know how I would have gotten the money if it wasn't for him" Her voice came out a bit sullen
"I'm sorry Ally. But if he does anything You don't like, just let me know" Allison chuckled, she knows that Delia can't do anything to Calvin.
"Yes mum" She said sarcastically"So when are you moving?"
"Tomorrow"
"Tomorrow? Allison!" She said a little too loud
"Delia, you are embarrassing me, can you please bring your voice down?" She said in a low voice. "I'm moving in with Calvin tomorrow, don't make a huge deal out of it"
"Whatever Ally. I guess I still have to support you on this one. Now that you have a super rich boyfriend and Kylie's medical bills has been paid, I guess I will just to keep the money I saved up for myself" She said excitedly
"You saved up?"
"Yes. Kylie needed it"
"You are the best friend a girl could have Didi"
"I know, I know" they burst out laughing
"Have you told Kenny about it?""I have. He made a huge fuss out of it" She sighed "Are you still dating...uhm... I don't even know his name. whatever! Are you still dating him?" She asked trying to change the topic
"Forget about him, he's a douchebag. I even have my eyes set on someone else"
"You always do"
"Well, a girl needs to have fun"
Allison could only face palm. Delia's unserious relationships is nothing new to her. she would always change her boyfriends once she gets bored. She never dates with her heart"You will need to open up your heart someday Didi. I know that you decided not to open your heart again after Mason but you really need to let go."
Delia felt her heart ache at the mention of Mason. Mason is her ex boyfriend whom she fell hopelessly in love with. They dated for two years and broke up when he told her that he was betrothed to someone else and that they cannot get married. She had begged him on different occasions to take her back stripping herself of her pride, yet he paid a deaf ear to her. 'You know we can never work out, my parents will never accept you. You have nothing a offer and Kate is an heiress'.Mason is from a very wealthy family and he is obliged to marry Kate who is an heiress to the Wayne's family's asset.
Delia hasn't been able to let Mason go. She still loves him. So she tried dating different guys to help her forget him but now at the mention of his name, her heart still aches badly
"I can't Ally. I just can't" She hate herself for loving someone like that. He has moved on and she's still here wishing he will come for her
"I won't open my heart again Ally. I can't bear another heartbreak"
Allison's heart sank at her friend's words, she stood up and gave her a hug
"You are going to find the right one someday Delia. I know it"
Calvin stared at Jerry, trying his best to appear friendly. He kept reminding himself that his grandmother was there. Allison didn't look alright, and he could already guess Jerry had something to do with it. Even though his gaze at Jerry wasn't hostile, there was clear warning in his eyes. He quickly led Allison away. "Oh I didn't tell you how much my grandsons are in love with their wives. You need to see Calvin when the Allison is experiencing the slightest discomfort. Love is indeed a beautiful thing." Grandma said to the uncomfortable Jerry. Jerry smiled and nodded his head. "It hasn't been up to a month since Delia and Leo got married. I wish we had met you earlier, you would have attended the wedding. It was beautiful." "We really would have wanted you there." Delia said, and grandma beamed, failing to see the sarcasm. "Jerry the whole family loves you already. It's really going to be a wonderful week." Grandma exclaimed. A week? A whole week of staying together with them?
Four days later, the members of the Bruce family began to arrive the mansion. Aunt Margaret and her new boyfriend were the first to come.All the while, Jerry had been dying in nervousness. Grandma had begged him to stay in the mansion with her, and he was forced to oblige. During their stay, he had learnt more about the family than he knew.He had asked to know what happened between Calvin and their father. The woman was reluctant to tell him at first, but when she became very comfortable with him, it slipped. He was beyond shocked and disappointed to find out that his father had killed Calvin's mother. He felt so betrayed and angry, but one couldn't release their anger on the dead.Aunt Margaret introduced her boyfriend to Jerry. She also told him that she has a son and a daughter, and that they would also be coming.They chatted, whiling away time before Naomi and Sasha came. Both girls slumped on one of the living room's couches. By then, grandma had gone to her room to have her n
Calvin brought a doctor to the house to check if Allison is pregnant as he promised her the previous day. The both of them were on their toes the whole time as the doctor took her blood. After a while, he asked them to leave so as to run some tests on the blood.Calvin took his wife to the living room. They sat down on the couch in silence, doing nothing in particular. Just waiting impatiently. Time seemed to move slowly, and the couple didn't have the zeal to do any other thing.Finally, the doctor came out, and they didn't know when they rose to their feet."Am I...?" Allison began anxiously."Congratulations Mr and Mrs Bruce." The doctor said with a smile, then he turned to Allison. "You are three weeks gone."Allison turned to Calvin, and she saw that his hands were already wide open, inviting her for an embrace. She hugged him tightly, her hands went around his neck, holding him with a firm grip. She suddenly began to laugh, but not long after, her laughter turned into sobs. "It
Calvin instantly regretted saying that. What if that was not the case? He would just raise her hope only to leave her disappointed in the end. But he just couldn't help himself, as the thought of her getting pregnant excited him.Allison's lips parted and closed, before parting again. "We... we should see a doctor." She suggested."I was only guessing. I am not certain." Calvin said, not wanting her to get too hopeful."But it could be true. I have been feeling a little sick for a while now. Maybe I am really pregnant Calvin. We should check." Now she looked so anxious to know. "I had previously thought about that, but I always pushed it away, not wanting to get my hopes high. But now that you noticed and mentioned it, I want to check. It is better I just know, even if I get a negative answer."Calvin walked up to her and kissed her forehead, letting his lips linger there for a few seconds. "We will be seeing a doctor tomorrow.""Thank you baby.""Anything for you princess." He smile
Delia's gown hugged her body from her breasts to her waist, before it flowed freely downwards. She had wanted it to be tight and take her whole figure, but Charlotte discouraged her as she was pregnant, and grandma made sure to give her her own set of instructions. Delia wondered if they were exaggerating as she was only a few weeks pregnant. She had to remind them from time to time that she wasn't a piece of glass.The front of the dress was opened in a heart shaped pattern, and two royal blue straps attached to it was tied at the back, around her neck, as the dress was completely handless, leaving her back open. The upper part of the dress, close to her breasts to her back was blue, embedded with white designs. While the free end was also blue. The gown flowed voluptuously behind her, and she wondered if she would be able to walk freely.She stared at herself in the mirror, heart full with so much happiness, and a sense of fulfillment. She knew that she was not making a mistake by
Calvin woke up one morning. He searched the bed for Allison as he usually does, but she wasn't there. He got up to go close the open curtains as the light rays were shining brightly in the room, and his eyes were yet to adjust to it. From the way everywhere looked bright, he knew he had woken up very late. He and Allison had a very wild night last night. He still expected her to be in bed, knowing he tired her out.He quickly went to search for her, worried that he might have tired her out too much. Their bathroom was the first place he searched, but he didn't find her there.Coming out of the room, he met Ellie. "Good morning Ellie. Do you know where Ally is?""She's in the kitchen. She said she wanted to make you breakfast." Ellie answered with a shrug, and Calvin's feet took him to the kitchen wasting another second.He smiled when he saw her from the door. She was singing a song and also dancing to it. Somehow, she looked more radiant."What are you doing standing there?" Alliso
