|||Lucas' POV"I'll start the payment for the apartment you'll be staying in," I said, parking in front of a hotel building. "In the meantime, you'll stay in this hotel." I dropped my hands from the steering wheel and glanced at Cindy beside me on the passenger seat. She was silent and had not said anything since I drove her out of the neighborhood, which was good for me because I was too angry to say anything to her or hear her speak. "How safe is this place?" She asked."What kind of a question is that?" I asked back and she sighed heavily."I've been living with our son—""Your son," I cut her off. "He's your child until I find out what if he is mine.""Whatever," Cindy said. "What I am trying to say is that I don't feel safe. Ever since I started staying in hotels, I've always been attacked, robbed, or almost assaulted. I fear for the safety of my son and myself."I rolled my eyes, not feeling anything like concern for her. "How does that concern me?" I asked through the litt
|||Lucas' POVIt was the next day and I had to run a test to know if I was the real father of the baby Cindy claimed was mine. I had barely slept a wink last night because I was nervous and restless, thinking of how I had been careless or how I got her pregnant when I was the most careful person when it came to such. It was only with Jackie that I let myself lose.I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Cindy closing in on my car. I unlocked the doors and got out of the car then went around it. She was carrying a baby seat and I quickly opened the back door. She was carrying the baby in one of those baby carriers parents hung on their chests."Good morning," she said and I ignored her.I took the seat from her and aligned it at the back of the car. She placed the baby into the back of the car and I went back to the driver's side. I boarded the car and waited for her to strap the baby in his seat. Once she was done, she got into the car. The moment I started the car, Cindy shoved her
Smut Ahead. |||Jackie's POVLucas had not come home from the hospital and I was getting worried. He had texted me two hours ago that they arrived at the hospital and were waiting for their turn. While I was not bothered about the fact that he might be the child's father, I didn't like the idea of not being the one to give him his first child. It was not a good feeling at all.I pushed the thought away from my head and continued to clean the sink with the dry towel in my hand. I hung the towel on the handle of the dishwasher and walked out of the kitchen. As I turned toward the stairs, I heard the front door opening and closing.I turned around and saw Lucas leaning against the door with his eyes closed. I smiled and crossed the room, meeting him at the door. He opened his eyes and then his arms for a hug."I need a hug," he said and I giggled before wrapping my arms around his waist.He tightly hugged me, stuffing his face in the crook of my neck. I furrowed my eyebrows at his hug a
|||"We'll continue this topic in our next class," the Professor said, dismissing the class.I exhaled in relief and started packing my stuff into my bag. Once I had put in my laptop, I rose to my feet and walked out onto the aisle of the lecture room. I descended the steps and left the room, feeling hungry. As I walked through the noisy hallway, I heard someone calling my name. I paused and looked around me before looking over my shoulder. I didn't see anyone I knew and shrugged then continued walking toward the double doors up ahead.Once I reached the doors, someone came into my line of vision and I stopped walking to look up. I saw Matt smiling at me and scratching his neck. I rolled my eyes and stepped aside, so I wasn't blocking the doors."What do you want?" I asked."I just came to such a minute ago and waited until you were done with professor Walker's class," he replied and crossed his arms. "Can we talk?"I was too hungry to stand here and talk to him. My feet were already
|||Matt had brought me home and I had thanked him for it. Even while I was at home, the rain had not stopped and Lucas was still not answering my calls. I was worried sick to the point that I lost my appetite to eat."I hope he's alright," I said, pacing around our room. I rubbed my hips when they felt heavy and stopped to sit down on the cushion close to the foot of the bed.I called Lucas again and got no response. I bit my fingernail, not caring if my nail polish was getting ruined. I stopped biting down on it and decided to call Axel, who immediately responded."What's up, sis-inlaw," he said.Any other day, I would have found what he said funny but I was worried and uncomfortable."Axel," I said, hearing the concern in my voice. "Have you seen Lucas today?""Lucas? Isn't he with you?" He asked back. "No, he's not. I've been calling him but he isn't answering. I wanted to know if he's with you or Barry.""No, I haven't seen him for some days now. Is his phone switched off or som
|||Lucas had not come home quickly as he had said. It was already dawn and there was no sign of him. He had only sent a text, saying he would be back soon. Now, it was seven in the morning and I was in the kitchen, making breakfast.As soon as I poured myself some milk, the front door opened and I heard footsteps. I didn't bother saying anything until I saw Lucas walk into the kitchen with clothes different from what he had worn earlier. In my head, I became suspicious."Good morning," I said and he smiled at me."Hi," he said, sounding tired. He approached me and leaned against the island behind me."So, how's the baby?" I asked and turned around with my glass of milk."He had a serious fever. I kinda slept off on a couch at the hospital and woke up a few minutes ago. I was so tired of everything that's been happening lately. I'm so sorry if this is affecting you. If this child ends up being mine, it's going to be hard because Cindy is trying to seduce me."I almost choked on my mil
|||After the meeting at Matt's place, I rushed home as I was excited about our movie night with Lucas and the others. When I arrived home, Lucas had not been home so I quickly took a shower and ate some food before leaving the house.I had to meet our neighbor who I had not seen for some days or heard from. As I neared their house which was close to ours, their rottweiler rose from the porch and started to wag his tail in excitement. I grinned and hurried up to the porch and he stood on his hind legs, his tongue hanging out and tails hitting the wooden floor."Hey, Quirky," I said and scratched the spot behind his ear, and his eyes drooped, making me laugh."Is that my favorite neighbor," Evangeline's said as she opened the front door. She squealed at my presence and came forward them hugged me. I almost fell back from the impact and struggled to breathe against her warm body. She giggled close to my head and pulled back, grinning wide. Her long braids fell against her face, framing
|||"How the fuck did that happen?"The movie was paused now and Lucas was on his feet, anger on his face. "That apartment is a hundred percent secure. Before I rented one for you and your baby, I knew what I was doing. So, how the fuck did you get robbed and beaten?" He asked in anger.I was sitting on the loveseat, the blanket still wrapped around me. Even though I didn't trust and like Cindy, I was worried for her and the child. Lucas' anger wasn't necessary right now."Call the cops. I can't come there," he said and ended the call. "Fucking hell. What kind of problem is this?""What happened? Who was that?" Evangeline asked, looking between every one of us."What happened, Lucas?" Axel asked. "The Cindy you were talking to, is she Josh Edgewood's cousin?"Lucas sighed. "Yes... It's her and according to her, the child she is with or gave birth to is mine.""Wow," Evangeline said."What the fuck?" Axel said in shock. "That can't be possible. Even I know that you use protection when
