LUCIANBefore I set my plan in motion, I got a call from one of Blair’s friends asking to meet.
BLAIRI pace back and forth in my room, wondering what the hell is going on downstairs.
BLAIRI pace in the room. Back and forth. Back and forth.The sound of my feet on the cold marble floor should have been soothing to my ears. It only made my stomach knot with anxiety.I paused when I reached the other side of the room for the fourth time. I check the watch on my arm.I’ve been here for thirty minutes. If I have to stay any longer, I’ll probably wear a hole in the floor and then start a fire with my feet. It is already feeling so hot.Picking up my phone, I text Mikayla the same thing I sent her five minutes ago. She replies instantly, just like she had the last time.Kay: He will be there. Just calm down and sit DOWN.I huffed and dropped the phone. Suddenly annoyed by her response.It isn’t her fault. I tried to calm myself down. She is just trying to help and whatever anger I feel. I should direct it towards the man that said he would be here more than thirty minutes ago.Where the fuck is he?!Like I manifested him, I heard a knock on the door just as I finished t
BLAIRI couldn’t let him leave. I had to stop him.The thought hadn’t finished forming in my head before I found myself running after him.The old me would have stabbed herself in the eye with a needle a million times, before she would follow after a man.But this is no longer about me. There is a bigger picture. A more important person that I need to consider. My baby.It is more important than my pride or whatever.“You know, if you weren’t so intent on pissing me off we would have already finished our conversation.”I paused right by the door he wanted to walk out of.He cocked a brow, looking down at me with those blue eyes that were always so intense.“Somehow this is my fault.” He stated with a slight scoff.“I’m glad we agree on something.” I muttered.Without giving him a chance to retort, I blurted what was on my mind. “If we don’t find a solution, my parents will put the child up for adoption. You’ll never see or know it. If it’s even a he or she.”“Are you threatening me, B
BLAIR More people are back in town and it feels more like summer. While the general population liked to travel to places like Europe. Or other exotic places. Most families in Redville come back home. They would rather spend the months with people they have known all their lives. Some for many generations. This is the perfect time to plant the seeds I want. I know all the right places, now I just have to make sure I do it the right way. Mikayla and Sasha, of course, are the perfect little helpers. Now it is even better with Eliane and Helena on our side. After I spoke with Lucian—his name pisses me off. I realized that he was right. My parents weren’t going to relent. I know how dad is. When he has his mind set on something, it is very hard to get him to change his decision. You might say I’m an adult and I should make my own decisions. While that is true, it doesn’t work that way here. It may seem…somehow, but I’m not exactly complaining. It is safe and perfect.
BLAIRRunning into Sally at the mall ends up being a good thing. It helped us plant our next seed without even realizing.If she thought she saw me with a guy. Then she is definitely going to make sure anyone that gives her the time of the day, hears it.I only need to make sure it doesn’t reach my parents before I’m ready for them to know.“Well, dress shopping was a total fail.” Sasha says, jumping onto my bed.I turn and glare at her, seeing how she is ruffling up my comforters. Clearly not understanding why I’m frowning, she ignores me.“How was that a fail? I got my dress.”Mikayla points at the garment bag hanging off the hand of my chair.We both groan, mumbling incoherently.She was able to find something while Sasha and I found nothing right. We left the mall after heading to one of the stores we used to frequent and the woman commented on my waist.I wasn’t showing. Not even a little bit. Or I would like to think.I’ve started to notice the slight change in my clothes. How a
LUCIAN“Never thought I would see the day,”
BLAIRI sucked in a deep breath and exhaled slowly.I’ve done this a million times. Why was I feeling nervous now?I didn’t have an answer for that. The heat of a certain pair of blue eyes searing into my mind. Making sure every nerve in my body stays under his spell is a great clue.How could one person have this strong of a hold on me?Must be the pregnancy. Having someone’s child connects you to them in the weirdest of ways.I feel the dress is hugging my body tighter. Like hands were running over every inch of my body. Not just any hands, but his hands.It didn’t make any sense.“You look ready to bolt.” I hear a whisper from my side.I shook my head at Sasha, squaring my shoulder. I try to take back my command, telling my body to move how I wanted it to.“Must be all this blush.” I replied, keeping a smile on my face when I noticed a few of the people we know watching my way.“They think you are daring.” Sasha comments, giving my hand a small squeeze.“I normally wouldn’t wear so
