I assure you it was all the fault of my hormones. I missed being me. The bitchy me to be exact, the one who didn't flow with the emotions. I stepped aside making way for her. "Who is it dear?" Carmen came asking. "It's Aiden's mother." My words came out dry. I really wasn't looking forward to this meeting and if Aiden would have sent her here I would be kicking him down from his penthouse. He was getting on my nerves. "Oh, come on in then." Carmen took over from there making Laura and Rose comfortable in my living room. I guess peace and me aren't going to exist in the same universe for awhile. We all settled down in the living room which I would say became too crowded for me. I waited for someone to say anything but nope not a word was uttered and it did really irritate me. I mean, talk if you want to r
Valerie"The fucked up fact was seeing and hearing my father fucking some bitch that night. It hurt back then, I loathed him and hated him then. You can't imagine how scared I was when his friends would come to the house, some eyeing me up. The house reeked of sex and alcohol. I didn't have anyone to protect me and keep me safe. I couldn't sleep with the fear that someone would come up my room. Even the lock on my door didn't assure me. Dad was always wasted or fucking some two dollar whore. The only thing I'm thankful for, was the fact that he was there to kick out his friend when he tried to come at me. Somewhere, I saw the dad I once had, but it vanished too quickly when he turned away from me and walked away. Two days later, I packed what little stuff I had, and hopped on a bus that would take me to my granny. A little me on a bus with the hopes that she would accept me and she did. That was the day I started again. I still can't fully blame dad, you know. He loved mom a lot and k
Valerie "So Aiden isn't coming today?" Shay asked sitting beside me. I had been like hell mad at Aiden and who wouldn't be. He was mingling in my personal business. It had become a daily routine for Aiden to drop by at my house every evening before he went to his. He didn't want to miss any part of our child growing, even if it was in my tummy but after what happened today had I had to cut him off. I swear, if I saw him, I would say things that I would definitely regret. I didn't have control over my emotions nowadays. I was a mess emotionally. Well, that is what pregnancy would do to me. I would feel hundred times more emotional than I normally did. The doctor had told me with sweet words, Welcome to pregnancy! Note the sarcasm. "Did you not listen to me, Shay? I told him to stay away from me, and you are still asking me that dumb questions." See, this is what pregnancy is doing to me. With a frown on her face, she looked at me without blinking. "I'm sorry, it's just the-." "Hor
Valerie "He is my father Aiden and don't you dare do a fucking thing against him. He is far better than Travis. You wouldn't know what it would have felt to be betrayed by the woman you loved the most. He had a lot of shit to handle, and he isn't proud to act the way he did. But now we are here. He accepts me as his daughter even though I am not his flesh and blood. He treats me as any father would do.Travis was my biological father, and he could have manned up and owned up to his responsibility, but he didn't, and he ran away. I wouldn't have ever come to know of his existence if it werenât for Laura's father and neither would he have. Did he ever try to look for me? No. He never tried and who the hell are you to play as his messenger? Your own life is dangling, and you are fucking pissing me off. I don't think that we can even work out Aiden!" I had tried my best to control my voice, but it was of no use. I could feel strange eyes over us. I was fucking mad at him, and I wanted to
Valerie "Val, listen to me for a moment with an open mind. It is just for your betterment and your future." His voice gentle and calm. How the hell could he so calm while I was burning holes into him?"Hell, with it Aiden. How dare you try to control my life? How the hell did you think that I would be ready to do something like this? Who the hell allowed you to play god with my life?" My voice was rising with every word, enough to grab everyone's attention over us in the cafe.When I had come to the cafe on his begging, I thought it was to talk about our child or at most us but the blow I got left we aghast. He had called Travis to meet me at the cafe, and I didn't know shit about him. Laura's asshole, cunt face father couldn't fucking keep a secret and had spilled the truth. If I ever saw I would let bad beat him blue and black and even let use her baseball bat on him. He was a fucking cunt."I'm not trying to do anything like that Val. He is your biological father, and I look up to
Valerie I was on the fucking verge of blasting in anger. I knew it wasn't as hell good for my child and me, but I couldn't stop myself from getting annoyed. Really, I wanted to find a bat and beat the shit out of him. He just had to ruin my day and dump a heap of troubles over my head and shoulder. I felt my ears grow hot from the raging anger inside of me. He couldn't have just stopped himself from butting in my life.I gave him everything I could, and that fucker paid me back like this. "Fuck you, Aiden" I yelled in the close bathroom space. I was so happy last week. Things were going well for me that I had at times felt like that I had landed in heaven. I had everything I could have wanted. For once in my fucking life life was going on great. Dad was there, my best friend, Shay was, I was pregnant, Aiden and i were getting on the right foot. Everything was going on really smooth. I had gone out with Carmen, to the doctor she had set the appointment up with for me. I loved the
ValerieâI canât, Aiden. I just canât,â the words slipped out of my trembling lips, each word heavy with the weight of uncertainty and fear. âThink about me, think about how hard it is for me. How could I come out of something like this? I donât want to be made a fool once again," Si sighed."I donât know if youâll be looking at me or Laura. God, Aiden, Iâm scared that you might even pretend that our child is yours and Lauraâs.â The doubt would always be there in the back of my mind. The room felt suffocating, the air was filled with unspoken pain. I waited for Aiden's reply but what I got was a broken sob, a sound that tore through the silence like a blade. It hurt that I was hurting me but he hadn;t cared to bits when he had hurt me. âPlease stop, stop," he cried out. "I canât. I canât ever do this to you and our child, Val. Please donât degrade my love for this child and you anymore. I know Iâve built these insecurities in you, made you like this, but please donât say such things
Valerie I looked at my father and at Carmen. Deep thoughts drowned me. "Send him in," I breathed out, the weight of the impending conversation settling heavily on my shoulders."Are you sure, Val?" Dad's voice was laced with concern, and I nodded weakly in response. "Do you want me to stay?"I managed a smile, grateful for his concern but also wanting a moment of privacy with Aiden. "It's alright, dad. I can handle him," I assured him, squeezing his hand gently."Come on, Bryan. Let's get out of here. We need to cook something healthy to feed her and her baby," Carmen interjected, her voice filled with warmth and determination. I watched as she pulled my dad away, their easy banter bringing a small smile to my lips. There was definitely something going on between them, something beautiful and full of promise. And as they left the room, I felt a sense of peace wash over me, a momentary respite before the storm that was about to come.Closing my eyes, I leaned back against the headboa
Valerie My eyes fluttered open, finally i was able to see. I had almost felt lost in my ownself. I satred at the ceiling without moving at all. it took more than a minute before all things came crashing down to my mind. I looked around and my father was the first person on whom my eyes fell upon. As I lay there, my father's worried expression softened, and a sense of relief washed over me. "You scared me, Val," he said, his concern evident in his voice. "Shay told us you are pregnant, and it scared me for you. I mean, you were drinking, Val. You shouldn't be so irresponsible about your health. You have a little one to care for, and I need my grandchild healthy and cute."His words pierced through me, a mix of admonishment and genuine care. But before I could respond, Carmen interjected, her tone tinged with amusement and exasperation. "God, she just found out about her pregnancy today, Bryan. Give her a rest," she scolded lightly, causing my dad to chuckle in response."You are going
