Daisy's POV
It was two days to our trip to Hawaii and dad came into my room that morning to explain what happened in the office the day before. I still couldn't believe it so I ignored him.
"Your mother has been starving me", he defended himself and I got angry. He usually calls aunt Susana my mother even though I always tell him that she wasn't.
"Starving you? Is it the hamburger that you can't do without?" I retorted in anger.
He smiled. "Princess, you're still a little girl so I'd assumed you won't understand."
"Little girl, dad? I'm 18 for goodness sake.", I almost screamed. "When did all of these start? Even though I don't like Aunt Susana and you know it, she is your legal wife and you shouldn't be caught cheating on her. How will you feel if she cheats on you? And of all people, Lizzy? I liked her."
"Lizzy is an amazing lady." He uttered.
I scowled and was about to answer him when Maria barged in. "Dee..dee, what's up?" She asked and apologized quickly when she saw dad with me. She turned to go out when dad asked her to stay back while he left.
"I have good news and bad news", she announced as she sat beside me on the bed.
"What happened?" I questioned in fear.
Her face was expressionless and I couldn't try to guess what had happened.
"Which do you want? Good news or bad news?" She asked nonchalantly.
"Both" I replied.
"Which do you want first?"
I pondered over it for a while before saying. "Good news."
"Ok", she grinned and stood up. "There is a party tonight. A send forth party for all of us going to college by next month. The head boy organized it."
"Is that the good news?" I hissed and rolled my eyes.
"Yes, it is."
"What's the bad one then?"
She sighed and sat next to me. "We are moving from New York."
"What? Relocating? Why?" I exclaimed and sat upright.
"Mum says her business thrives more in England."
"Oh My God! When are you moving?"
"Tomorrow", she answered and a tear dropped from her eyes. "I told Eric to apply to the college there so we can be in the same school but he said no. He doesn't want to sacrifice for me, Deedee."
"Oh Maria", I engulfed her in a hug.
Which school is he going to?" I asked.
"MJ University."
"That's far away from England", I started.
"Yeah."
"I'm sorry. I don't even know what to say", I looked at her with sympathy. I knew it was coming to that. I have always known she would be heartbroken if Eric breaks up with her.
"Don't give me that look", she sniffed and wiped away the lone tear.
"That's why I want us to attend the party", she recovered from the hurt within minutes and beamed with excitement. That was the first time I would see Maria crying and it hurts.
"So are you going?" She asked.
"Nope", I replied and flung myself to the bed. 'The last party was a disaster, I thought.
"Why? Don't be boring Daisy. Do this for me. I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" I sat upright when she reminded me. "Oh My God! I'm going to miss you so much, Maria", I hugged her tightly. "What will I do without you?"
"Nothing", she replied. "Absolutely nothing", she smirked and I hit her head, before hugging her again.
"Don't strangle me. I'll keep in touch and come visit you soon, maybe in college."
I stared at her and broke down in tears. I knew I was going to miss the good and crazy memories with Maria. She was more than a friend. She was a sister and she played a motherly role in my life. I f****** loved her. She embraced me again and tried to pacify me with, "I'll come visiting soon."
"So are we going?" She asked again.
"Going where?" I cleaned my tears.
"To the party, of course. You need to get f***** but this time around, use protection. I brought some."
"Shut up", I scolded and she laughed. " I don't want my little baby to have a baby. I'm not ready to be a grandmother yet."
"I said shut up", she laughed again and I smiled. I began to tear up again and we laughed at each other.
"Don't worry, I brought 5 of my erotic books. They will keep you company and remind you of me when I'm gone." She was trying all she could to make me feel better. She was indeed a strong woman.
"Shut up, Maria. Let me enjoy this moment with you."
"You don't want them? If you don't want to, I'll gladly go along with my books."
Deep down, I knew I wanted and needed it with the way I was beginning to feel for the last two days. I needed to know more about myself as a woman and I felt I needed more experience. I can have more experience by reading the books so I nodded in affirmative, still in tears.
"I need them", I said unconsciously. I realized what I said with the funny look on Maria's face and I quickly rephrased it. "I'd love to have them. I'll try to read till the end this time."
"Do you need them?" Maria questioned and burst into a fit of laughter as the embarrassment flushed over my entire face.
*****
Maria searched through my closet, looking for a perfect dress for me to wear to the party. We've spent time together talking about the future and college. Hopefully, if I get admitted into Oxford University, she might come there too if she succeeded in convincing her mother and we'd rock the rock together. That was the plan.
Maria was busy talking about the number of boys she was going to f*** when she gets to college if Eric eventually breaks up with her.
She was trying to cover up the hurt by talking too much. If we were having this type of conversation a week before, I would have told her to shut the hell up but funny enough, I was enjoying the conversation.
"Why do you like Eric so much?" I asked suddenly.
"Because he's crazy", she answered quickly without thinking of an appropriate answer to give me. "He is the right person for me. I can't withstand a man who is boring or one who talks about books all the time. Eric and I have conversations even during sex."
"What?" I cackled in laughter. I found it unbelievable. "How?" I scrunch my face in confusion.
"We talk, just like we are doing now." She shrugged.
"Like this; Eric, I went to the mall today and I saw my guys starting at my butts and I told them to f*** off, that I have a boyfriend and his name is Eric", I said dramatically and laughed.
"Something like that?" She smiled.
"Eric is a crazy lover and I love him. I'm going to miss him and his touches. I've never met a man with something as big as his."
"Really? I think I have", I muttered proudly.
Her eyes opened wildly as the dreamy look on her face vanished. "What?"
"Yes. The guy from the other night." I replied.
"The one you didn't use protection with?"
I glared at her. "You know it's him, must you rub my stupidity in my face? I've never had sex with any other person but him."
"Waw! I'd really love to meet him." She grinned with arms akimbo.
"Are you crazy?"
"Are you jealous?" She grinned widely.
"You don't want to share him with me?" She giggled.
I knew she was trying to provoke me on purpose. "You are indeed crazy", I said and wore my dress. She was already dressed as she sat up on my bed. The dreamy look was back on her face.
She chuckled. "So tell me, how did you two do it?" Was he really big?" I nodded.
"Waw! I love men like that. Tell me how it happened."
"Promise me you won't laugh while I talk."
She laughed for a while and said, "I won't laugh."
"You're already laughing", I groaned and hid my face in my palms.
"Ok. I promise."
"He asked me to dance with him and I did. While we were dancing, I noticed his bulge....." I started.
"You were affecting him?" She interrupted.
"Shut up and listen."
"Ok. Go on."
"We talked randomly after the dance about the future and high school life experience."
"That sounds boring", Maria chipped in again.
"Don't interrupt", I yelled.
"Go on."
"Then we went out for fresh air after he pecked me on the lips. Then I asked him what it feels like to be kissed and he laughed.
"I would do the same too."
I scowled at her and continued. "Then he kissed me, it was heavenly. Afterward, he asked me to get into the car and I did. He caressed and kissed me gently, biting my nipples as I moaned and before I knew it, our clothes were off. I told him I didn't want to have sex yet but he pulled me down and forcefully pushed himself into me. I felt like my little kitty would tear me apart.
"That is how I like it."
I glared at her.
"You didn't want to have sex yet you asked him to kiss you? I like that nigga already. If I was a guy and you dare say that to me, I will do the same thing he did, you silly girl."
"Crazy girl", Then I remembered I slapped him and I added. "After we regained our strength, he wanted to do anal sex and I slapped him and ran out."
"Eric and I do that all the time." She remarked.
"Anal sex or having another sex a few minutes after one?" I inquired.
"Both. Eric doesn't pull out of me before we begin another marathon. Anytime I go visit him, we do it till daybreak. It's normal."
"You both are crazy."
"That's why we love each other", she stood up and asked. "Are you ready?"
"For?"
"To be banged", she replied sarcastically. "Ready to go to the party, of course", she said, rolled her big attractive eyes, and swung her hips as she moved to the door. "And don't forget the condoms on your bed, they will help."
Daisy's POVAndrew drove Maria and me to the party. The music was loud as always and I had to adjust to the loudness. Maria greeted some of her friends from other schools and I did the same, even though I had never seen their faces before."You must be Daisy?", a pretty girl asked me.I nodded and she smiled looking at me from head to toe. "You are beautiful and I love your dress.""Thank you", I smiled in appreciation.It was a pink dress. It was among the clothes Dad bought for me from Florida, which I rarely wore.We ventured into the house and I saw Stanley approaching with a smirk. "You came?""Yes, any problem with that?", Maria questioned with an eye roll and dragged me in the other direction. "I heard he is dating Becky now", Maria announced."Becky? What is she doing with a playboy like him?"
Daisy's POVI woke up feeling nauseated and in a bad mood. I was unhappy because Maria was living that day and because I had sex with him again.My vacation with dad was the next day and I wasn't prepared."You had sex with him again", my subconscious mocked."Oh Goodness!" I mentally slapped myself. I still did not know his name and I didn't bother to ask.I remembered Stanley called his name but I couldn't recall if it was Daniel or something else. I touched my private part and I realized there was little pain unlike the first. He was completely gentle and he kept calling my name as we made love.The nauseation was back and I quickly rushed to the bathroom. I puked till there was nothing left inside of me. I rinsed my mouth and came out of the bathroom to meet aunt Susana sitting on my bed."Why are you puking so early in the morning?" She questioned. "Is there anything you are hiding from us?""Good morning, aunt Susana", I greeted politely
Daisy's POV"Aunty, what the hell are you saying?" I growled, looking at the EPT pregnancy test kit in her hand."I know a pregnant woman when I see one", she smirked. "See?" She pushed the kit to me. "Take it or I would be forced to believe you are pregnant.""No.""You are pregnant, Daisy", she grinned proudly."Aunt, I'm not pregnant.""Haven't you been having sex?" She questioned all of a sudden."I...I..haven't, aunt", I stammered."Let's see what would happen when your father hears this", she turned back and left me in the bathroom, hurrying downstairs to look for her phone."What the hell does this woman want from me? Won't I know if I am pregnant? There is no baby inside of me, no form of movement. I'm not pregnant", I said to myself, hoping that was alone to convince me.When I got home from the airport, I met her waiting for me. I greeted her and went upstairs. When she asked me where I was coming home, I was tempted to roll my eyes at her and
Three months after dad's death, I was already a shadow of myself. The only thing that kept me alive was the joy of becoming a mother soon. I barely go out. I don't dress up or do anything worthwhile, except to sleep, eat, and cry all-dayLizzy came to sympathize with me but I didn't allow her in. I heard her telling aunt Susana that my attention was needed in the company. I watched Lizzy from downstairs and I realized she had a baby bump too. It was not as little as mine.I couldn't believe my eyes and I thought about the possibility of dad having a child with his secretary. A posthumous son or girl.Aunt Susana didn't inform me of what Lizzy said to her and the next day, she got dressed and went to work. She began to go to the company daily. That was when I realized the essence of Lizzy's visit. She wanted me to take control. But I was scared. I was just 18.How can I control and manage a company at this tender age? I asked myself."Tender age yet you are pregnant?"
"Where is my fate leading me to?" I asked myself as Lizzy drove me off to the airport."Are you sure about this?" She asked for the umpteenth time, trying to convince me once again from going away."Yes, Lizzy. There is nothing here for me to hold onto. Everything is gone.""The company needs you. You are the rightful owner", she said."No. I'd rather let go of it than lose my life. Aunt Susana is a desperate being. Besides, your little baby also has a right to the company too."I had sneaked out of the house at the early hours of that morning, even before aunt Susana was awake. I was able to pack the little I could but I couldn't get a hold of dad's credit card because it was in the master's bedroom and I was scared of going up there.I couldn't find my phone either. I didn't know whether I lost it on my way home the previous day or maybe aunt Susana took the phone before leaving my room that day.Andrew offered to drive me to the airport bu
Daisy's POVI got to aunt Vanessa's house to meet the greatest shock of my life. She had moved out according to her neighbor. She moved out years ago.Aunt Vanessa and I communicated when I was in high school but I couldn't remember the last time I got her mail. Is it three or four years? I asked.I got her address from the emails she usually sends. I made a huge mistake by not calling to inform her that I was coming.I was knocking on her front door when a neighbor of hers informed me of her absence. I asked him for her new address and he said he didn't have it.I was left with no choice but to call her as I walked back down the avenue to the street. Her phone was unreachable and I almost cried out in frustration.Where do I go from here? I was damn hungry and exhausted. I was also tired of dragging my single box.I'm in deep shit, I muttered.I decided to take a cab to the nearest hotel after trying to think of what t
Daisy's POVI saw mom and then dad. They were smiling at me. Their mouths were moving but I couldn't hear them."Mom?" I called, realizing how much I missed seeing her beautiful face. She doesn't look at all like aunt Vanessa. Aunt Vanessa looked more like a black American."Dad?" I called, relishing the moment we both spent together. The reality of dad's death was dawning on me more than ever and it was having a toll on me."Dad?" I called again, stretching my hand as I howled in pain.I was in severe pain. I was feeling pain all over the world. Then I began to cry. I facepalmed myself as I cried. When I removed my hand to clean up my tears, they were gone."Mom? Dad?" I called again, looking all around, the surroundings were cold, with fogs all over. I shuddered in fear when I realized I was alone.I was in pain again. But this time, it was the pain of being an orphan. The pain of my fate. The pain of my situation. The pain of everything th
Nina's POVI was beginning to see a similarity in my story and that of Daisy's. We were both at a young age when the responsibility of a mother fell upon our shoulders. We were left to birth and train up the child with the father nowhere to be found."Why do women have to suffer the pain alone when the pleasure was between two genders?The only difference between Daisy's story and mine was that Amar and I were in love. It was love at first sight.The sexual tension was obvious. I became restless the moment I entered the conference room and I saw him. He was too. The chemistry was obvious to almost everyone in the room.We spent the night in the hotel close to where the program was held. It was a construction work program and my father's friend was the chief host. I convinced my dad to let me attend so I could have an understanding of how it works. I told him I wanted to use the experience for the book I was writing and he allowed me.I
