What do you want?” I waited with bated breath for his response and Nik noticed I was tense because he suddenly reached out to my other hand to squeeze it. “Hi sissy” his nonchalance high pitched voice came out, annoying me even more. “Don't patronise me,” I snapped and immediately Nik collected the phone from me. “Elias.” His clipped tone came out. I don't know what was being said on the other end of the line but I know that Nik didn't like Elias. He listened for a while before saying;“Whatever it is you have to say to her, do so after our honeymoon is over.” I heard from his end and the call ended. “I can handle him, you know? That's my brother.” I said feeling a bit guilty for the way he ended the call. “Perharps, he should begin to grow up. You have covered his mess long enough” even though his words stung, they do have an iota of truth in them. I turned away to look out of the window, and found myself being yanked towards him immediately till I was sitting on his lap. “N

I placed the folded napkin and cutlery down and watched my arrangement for the one millionth time. This wasn't my first time cooking for Nik, but it was the first time I'm going all out. Full three course meal. I had let Mama Mia go home early since she had to tend to one of her daughters and decided out of boredom to cook. Apart from the French toast and waffles with egg made when we were on the boat, this was different. I settled for an apple pie since the garden was blooming with it, paired with a beef Wellington and some mushroom and steak sauce. I needed him to be in a good mood. I wiped down the edge and placed a cover on the beef Wellington before returning it into the oven to cook. I'll state proper playing when he comes back. I hum a trendy tiktok sound by Olivia Dean before skipping up the stairs, two at a time to quickly shower and change. I didn't want to be smelling of herbs and spices when he came back. I had just made it to the top of the staircase when I fel

What are you doing?” I asked the infuriating woman who had made to get up from the seated position she was. “I have places to be.” She said, trying to break free from my firm grasp on her wrist. “It can wait. I'll call my doctor and have him check you out.” I frantically searched for my phone and my eyes landed on them at the other bedside. I will need to stretch to pick it up or let go of her hand. I tried to reach for it and she toppled over me, landing on me as my hand made contact with it. Almost immediately, I felt my chest race. It's been happening more often whenever I was in close contact with her. It was the tachycardia mixed with warmth that spread through my chest and a constant desire to be close to her. She didn't even let me enjoy the forced hug before she pushed back up. “I said I'm fine. I don't need anybody to check up on me. I think it's menstrual cramps and no more.” Her tone was final and sharp. “Fine.” You can't cry more than the bereaved anyways. If she sa

Little Dove” I heard him call out, but I didn't wait. I ran up the stairs taking it two at a time. I hear him curse out in Spanish. Which was a new discovery. He usually did Greek or English. “Will you just wait and listen to me and stop running?” he shouted again, this time beginning to follow after me. Crocodile Baby I headed straight for the room and shut it with a click before pushing the lock in place and sinking into the ground. Everything that had happened the last few hours came sinking back in. The shock when I noticed I was bleeding a lot. The stomach cramps, the fear from waking up the first time when we got to the hospital scared that something horrible was happening, and finally the guilt. The guilt that I had something to do with it, and the pain of the loss And all the emotions just came crashing in on me. It was my fault that the baby died. Chemical pregnancy or whatever, but my body had been giving me signs that something was wrong. The

ElAINE. “Do you love him?” Diane asked and I began to cough aggressively, choking on the coconut water I was having. “What?” Shocked at where the question was coming from. “What do you mean by what?” She asked, chuckling, and started adjusting the strap of her two piece Bikini. “Things are not like that between us.” I said and took a large gulp from the drink hiding my eyes away from her. Diana had decided earlier today that we should lounge by the pool and even instructed the staff to find us coconut and some margaritas to cosplay as if we were by the beach. “So, why do you have that look on your eyes?” she came to a stop now in front of me dripping water from the laps she had earlier in the pool“What look?” I rolled my eyes and turned to lie down on the beach chairs. “You miss him.” She declared and I hissed. “No I don't.” “Yes you do.” “No I don't.” “You love him” she started again and this time I got up leaving my drink behind. “You don't know what you're talking abou
