Arthur POVHe was Alive. He was alive and he had my daughter. My father was alive and he had my daughter with him. Anger seered through me as it struggled to stay afloat with my fear which tagged easily. If he was alive, there was large chance he would hurt Ava to get to me. He had come back for me, to get me to back back to what i did to him.“Arthur!!” Zachary yelled from behind me but i kept on walking as wheels turned in my head. “Wait the hell up!” He grabbed my upper hand and yanked me but the persons face i saw was Danielle.“What?!” I snapped, not caring if they all saw me loose.“Where are you going? You can’t just keep leaving me in the dark. At least tell me what you have planned.” Dani stated with strong words but it wasn’t going to work so i laughed. I laughed not at her but at the entire situation.“Don’t you get it Dani, if my father had Ava and your mother, there is no plan. There is nothing i can think off that’ll work- its always a loosing game with him. He knows me
Danielle PovNever in a million years did I think i would travel alone, nor did i think i was going to get drunk at the bar close to the beach by the hotel i stayed it just happened above my imagination but guess what? Here I was, getting ready to leave my room and head towards the bar. I stared at my figure in the mirror one last time and smoothened my palms against the material of my dress, it was a red dress which stopped at my thighs and let the rest of my legs on display to everyone who watched.I had done my makeup lightly but didn’t go easy on the lips as the red lipstick made my average cupid bow lips stand out, my lashes had been coated with a considerate amount of mascara that made my almond eyes pop,attractive.“You’ve got this-”“Dani- are you still there or do you need more prep talk from me.” My friend Hazel said from the phone. She had called to ask what my plans were for the night and when i told her nothing she insisted i went out to the bar to get some fresh air.Yes
Arthur PovShe tasted like lavender and mint, two things that go so well together, and her body. Her body held me bound even while she was the one tripping for mine, she had no idea what she was doing. A stranger had me in a strong grip and I wasn't complaining, my hands found it's way to her hips and thighs as we both drunkily made way up the elevator- it was private yet the excitement of being seen through the glass bubbled within me.Her lips mixed with mine as she followed my lead and matched up my pace, her soft bold melted into mine and it took all of myself control to hold back on a mild groan.surprisingly ,Her fingers grazed my shoulders and they clawed into me showing how much she wanted this.I was a bit out of place, not just from the plenty drinks I had but from how enchanting she was, like a drug I never wanted to let go off.The doors opened and we stumbled out, her hands now in my hair and mine holding her just against me. It was a good thing we were at my private qua
Danielle POVFour years later“Honey, get away from the window-” I said rushing into the living room, Avalon pressed her face against the glass- She was mimicking the bird who had perched on the railing.“Mummy look, it’s a bird.” she muttered and turned to me, her pig tails bounced on her head as she stared at me with glee in her eyes. Her bright hazel eyes and tiny eyelids reminded me of that of her father who was out there somewhere and i had no idea where he could be or who he was.Avalon had been what i never expected this soon, i was twenty-two at the time i got pregnant, a lot would say that she was a mistake but to me she was far from it and i don’t regret four years ago since i had her. Although everything hasn’t been rosy,things hasn’t gone has planned but with the outcome of it now am thrilled.Even with the news and how it threw me into a chaotic time, Hazel was by my side through it all and when i thought i was burdensome i told her that my mum wanted me to come back home
Am quite thrilled to be staring at everything.” Adam said with a low chuckle, i turned back to my friends ignoring the pair of eyes on me.“Hmm- well it’s not all the time you see things like this.” I joked laughing lightly.We moved to our table and while Summer told me about her day at work, i felt those same eyes following me until we turned and found our space, I was happy with the location, it was away from public eyes especially if anyone was coming in and at the same time it was by the window which overlooked the city.“I bet Hazel will be upset that she can’t be here.” Adam said, now both Adam and Hazel were related. Cousins to be exact and the bunch acted like they were brothers and sisters.“Yeah, she’s pretty upset.” I answered knowing how Hazel whined on the phone for not being around. She had travelled for a project and wasn’t going to be back until next week.“Welcome to Kings, what wine of choice can we interest you with?” The waiter asked, he had soft blonde hair which
Danielle.I didn’t know what else to do, I stood still as though time had stopped and it was frozen. I locked my phone screen as I was ready to walk away from him. “Excuse me.” I managed to say as I looked up, I couldn’t look into his eyes, they were so cold and bold. I couldn’t dare to look at them, he had just yelled and said words in manners that would hurt anyone, and all the rumors about him were true,I need to leave here and-“Where are you going?” He held on to my hands as he tried to stop me.As soon as our eyes met like the sun and the sea, he cleared his throats and readjusted, he removed his hands and placed them in his pockets. I could only gulp, regardless of what he was being said about, he looked so good at that moment but I need to leave there.I knew what I had to do. “I won’t tell a soul about what I had just heard, it would be like I wasn’t here.” I felt my sweat glands producing more fluids, I doubt if he could have seen it but I felt them rolling down.“Oh reall
Danielle. I stretched as I got out of the bathroom, I dusted my body and I dried myself. The dinner was over and that was it. There was nothing else to it. I had to resume work and pray that I don’t accidentally bump into Arthur.“The office is a big place. How can that happen?” I asked myself as I nodded, I walked to the mirror to smile. “Mummy, who are you talking to?” Avalon asked as she walked in on me. She was fully dressed and prepared for school, even though her socks were straightened, and her hair looked like a train had just gone through it. I scoffed as I knelt down. I had my full body robe on.“Mummy we can’t be late and I made a new friend.” Avalon said as she held my cheek. I smiled as I hugged her. “So what’s her name? Stay on the bed while I dress up, will you?” I said to her as I was interested in what she had to say.“Okay.” Avalon wasn’t just ready to tell me about her new friend, she was in character, she flipped her hair and smiled.“Now I am worried.” I said to
Danielle. I moved my eyes away from him, it was starting to become some sort of competition. I decided to just look away. Thankfully, the meeting ended and I couldn’t even remember anything. I needed to leave as soon as possible, I couldn't be seen with him. My heart raced like it was in some sort of trance or anxiety,I didn’t want that, why was I bothered, I tried so hard not to make sure that I was concerned.I tried to have a conversation with Summer and Adam but they were all wrapped up about looking at Arthur and that wasn’t fun.“I hope we can all have a healthy and constructive relationship with the company and with me. Thank you all.” Arthur said a little short speech as he stood up, his eyes were on me still and what made it worse was the fact that-”“I should leave, I have a lot of paperwork to finish on.” I said as I stood up, I felt a hand touching me. “Don’t you want to stay behind and wait, we might get to introduce ourselves to the head of the branch, come on.” Jane
