Floyd stared at the dining table, he was just coming back from a meeting which he left to Aspen to round up. Nicole had surprisingly been a faithful and less nagging fiancee these days that Floyd always thought she had been delivered from whatever demonic spirit was battling with her. She had started taking her culinary class seriously, even now she tried to prepare meals for the both of them including his mother. She placed the last dish on the table with a grin as she turned to him."Mother once told me that a way to a man's heart is food." She said. Floyd tilted his head to the side to access her, he pursed his lips and moved towards her. She had a particular glint in her eyes that Floyd could not pin point what it was. He sat down and watched how she dutifully served him. He bit his lips, contemplating whether to eat it because he did not know how it would taste, spicy? Tasty? Salty?He could say he was quite scared. He reluctantly picked his spoon and dug into the food she made.

Weeks later, the relationship between Ace and Aspen had grown quite well. Ace will come over to play with the kids even though Cora always hide from him. And sometimes, Aspen would meet him and they will talk about most of their experience with Aspen saying little of hers even when he tried to pry for more out of her. She would always evade it with a smile as she still felt insecure.And tonight was one of those nights where she would take a walk with him back to his house. Ace suddenly stopped and she did too. He looked her in the eye and scratched the back of his neck."I know this might sound weird but I have been thinking about it for a while. I..." He hesitated, swallowing hard. "I will love to date you. Like just give us the chance." He finally said. Aspen was quite shocked at what Ace said. She did not know how to reply, she just stood there surprised that he would ask her such. Like it never occurred to her that he would her ask such thing. He never showed that kind of interes

Nicole was quite scared as she stayed over at Floyd's house. She did not know what to do. Even Floyd's mother had gone to bed with worry. And yet Floyd still did not open the door or answer her calls.He had just slept off, forgetting everything and woke up the next morning. He did his casual things before exiting the room, praying to God that he does not meet his mother but it seemed he prayed too late as he saw Nicole placing some tray of food down on the table. She seemed to notice him and looked at him head to toe, he had a suitcase in his hands which meant one thing, that he was headed to the company. "What are you doing here?" He asked her, his eyes staring at her with spite. Nicole swallowed softly and smiled."Mother called me last night, saying something bad had happened to you and I rushed over but ..." She trailed off as she finally noticed his bursted lips and the bruise on the left part of his eye. He raised his right brow and she moved closer to him."What happened? Did

When Floyd arrived at home, he noticed the house was at peace and he was quite okay with it. He went to the kitchen and cooked some meal for himself. It was something he taught himself to do, to cook for himself. He did most of it when Aspen had just left, he refused to eat when the rest of the people were awake. He would come back late and cook for himself, avoiding everyone.When he was done with the preparation, he picked the chop sticks and dug them into the noodles he made. He slowly swallowed them and after he had finished he washed the dish. The shuffling of feet behind him made him whirl his head to the side."That is not how you behave towards a lady who is your fiancee." His mother told him, walking towards him and adding water to her jug.Floyd let out a deep sigh and shook his head. "Mother, she asked for a break which I gladly obliged to. Tell me what else do you want me to do? You asked to divorce Aspen, I did. You asked me to send to the doctor for some useless abortion

Floyd felt someone scrambling up beside him. His brows creased together as he forced his eyes open, only to see a naked Nicole smiling sheepishly at him. He jerked up immediately and gave her a confused look."What are you doing here?" He questioned her.She moved closer to him. "I... I missed your touch." She whispered to him, glancing around as if someone was watching them. Floyd was confused even more."Didn't we establish that we are on break?" He asked her and she blinked her eyes before gulping softly."I wanted to tell you something." She told him, her chest heaving in the process."I... I am pregnant." She said, her voice almost inaudible. Floyd's ears rang and it felt like he was suddenly thrown in the red sea. He stared at her like she had not just told him that she was carrying his child... No... She was pregnant. "For who?" He asked, still in shock.She raised her brows at his question. "What do you mean by that? You are the only one I have ever been with?" She told him an

Floyd left work early and went to meet with Nicole who had a bright smile on her face on seeing that he came early. The discussion he and Aspen were having was replaying in his head as they drove to her parents house."I tried calling you this morning before you left for work but you were in a hurry to leave, I know that you did not expect the news. I have this feeling that you are going to be the best father to our kids." She told him.Floyd did not reply her, instead he focused on the road. She smiled and looked away. She knew he was not going to take it easily. That was why she decided to take him to her parents.They soon reached there and he stepped out before her. She waited for him to open the door for her but he had taken some steps forward when he realized what she wanted. He stopped and turned to her with blank look."Really?" He mouthed to her. She blinked and smiled more.He clenched his jaw and started his walk into their house. Surprise coated her face at the way he walk

"Floyd," Loretta called from downstairs. Floyd closed his eyes tight because he knew what she wanted to say. It has been the cycle of things in the house. She would ask him to get something for Nicole on his way back from work but he won't because he will tell her that Nicole was not broken. He calmly exited his office and went downstairs to meet the mother and daughter. He gave them a blank look as he has been giving them ever since Nicole broke the news of her pregnancy. "What is it?" He asked.Loretta pursed her lip and gave him a reprimanding look. "Since your wife is in this condition, you should be close to her and not far from her. She said her head is aching her. Come and give her a head massage." She told.Floyd did not know how the snort slipped past him and hurt flashed across Nicole's face. "I am already late for work. You can do the massaging." He told his mother and turned to leave.Hopping into his car, he started his drive to the company. As soon as he got there, he

Just as Aspen got down from the cab, she headed inside only for her to meet a bouquet of flowers at the entrance of her apartment. She glanced around the place to look if anyone was close. Or it might be her stalker.Cautiously, she picked it and a card fell off from it. She bent to pick it and she read what was written on it.'Aspen, please give me a chance. Think about it.' -Ace.A sigh escaped from her and she dropped her head. This guy still doesn't get it.It was not like she did not want to date him. She just doesn't want to date.
