140"Oh my goodness. Hi Milo !" Lauren waved."I can't believe it! Hi Milo ! I'm a huge fan!" Fiona exclaimed."Oh my goodness! You're so handsome Milo !!" Lauren added while fanning herself.Lindy giggles, "They're huge fans of you and the lads."I smiled and exchanged handshake, "Thank you so much. It's nice to meet you. Will it be alright if I get to take my girlfriend with me?""Oh sure! Have fun Lindy!" Lauren and Fiona waves goodbye as they began to leave us.I scoop her closer to me and she smiles, "Now that I've got you all to myself, where do you wanna eat my beautiful?""Anywhere with you is fine." She answered me while flashing her beautiful smile.I reached for her hand and started walking towards my car. There were a few students who waved at me and I was being kind as I waved back. Lindy and I were holding hands until we reached the car and as soon as we settled in, I started the engine and began to drive away."What do you think about Paris?" I asked.She paused. "I thi
PREFACEHe is going to hurt me. He is going to hurt me.Those are the words that keeps repeating on the back of her head, like a chant.He is going to hurt me.He is going to hurt me.He might actually kill me.He can kill me and he will kill me.She knows that for a fact as those words kept ringing in her head because she knows that he is capable and she knows that he will. There is intense fear running all over her body that she cannot explain as she is getting more and more frustrated about what she is going to do. The feeling that she has never felt before is growing deep inside her and she does not even want to head out of the room that she is hiding.Fear.There is so much fear inside her. The kind of fear that is screaming and bursting out through her lungs, chest, stomach and her entire body.There is too much fear that she cannot even put into words. And she knows why he is acting like this but she needed help, ASAP.“He is going to hurt me.” A soft voice escapes her lips
1MILO“Five weeks.” She’s pregnant for a month and seven days.Lindy is pregnant.I exhaled deeply as I try to settle myself and my thoughts. The first thing I thought of when those words came out from her lips is that she was conceiving our baby is worrying about her future and not mine.Lindy’s future is far much brighter than mine and I don’t want to ruin it by getting her pregnant. My mind is speedily filled with worry and thoughts about her because I know she has so many dreams that she wants to achieve and that she will most definitely achieve. She wanted to be a lawyer and wish to defend those oppressed people who are less fortunate to fight for themselves. She wants to accomplish those dreams and I should be pushing her forward and not pulling her down or slowing her in reaching for all of her desires in life. She has so many dreams and I am ruining them. Crap, I ruined it.As selfless as it may sound, I honestly didn’t worry a single bit about myself and my career. I did
2MILO“You are?” She asks me, her eyes widened in shock.“What kind of question is that?” I chuckle humorlessly. “Of course! I am not that selfish to be mad about something that’s a gift.” I assured her as I kiss her fingertips while holding her hands tighter on mine but careful enough not to squeeze them. Her lips forms into the weakest smile that she could do and how it warms my heart to see it.“Let’s talk about this when we land Paris, okay?” I cooed as I wipe her tears.She nods and the entire flight, we were both silent.I wasn’t silent because I didn’t like what she told me but to be honest I don’t know if I am happy too. In so many ways, I don’t know if I am utterly happy because there are so many reasons not to. Deep inside me, I am troubled and still haunted of what happened in the past. In the back of my head and in my heart, I am sad that she is conceiving our baby because I couldn’t help myself not to think about the things that will change between us. Even though it
3MILOShe smiles at me, “I’m sorry.” She answers. “Is it making you feel weird?”I shake my head sideways, “Not really. Maybe a little bit.”Lindy half-smiles, “I’m just thinking about so many things that’s all.”“Why?” I questioned. “I mean, for starters confessing to you was too difficult.”“W-Why would that be difficult?” I ask her. “I am your boyfriend, Lindy.” I smile at her.“I know. I am sorry if that made you feel bad.”“Oh babe, it didn’t.” I smile at her. She smiles, “I felt relieved that I was finally able to tell you about it. I have kept that for days now and I just didn’t know how to tell you because I felt really burdened about it and your career and the entire band.”“Baby don’t feel burdened about it anymore.” I reassured her as I take her hand. “I am with you in this. I am even glad that you were able to tell me too.” I smiled at her. “I really thought you were going to tell me to have an abortion.”I was taken aback as my eyes are glued on her, “Abortion?”She n
4LINDYSleep.I needed to sleep. I needed to sleep. I needed to sleep. How?How can I sleep?How do I sleep?I guess I was too happy with how the events turned out after I told him about our child that I wasn’t able to fall asleep right away. My mind and body are just in a complete bliss recalling the things that Milo had told me. I know Milo is mature enough and he is responsible to show his love and support for our baby. All those worried thoughts were completely washed away as soon as he gave me reassurance that I desperately needed the past days. I loved how he promised me he would be here for us, I just wish he would keep his promise.I moved to and fro continuously on this super soft bed while Milo is already sleeping peacefully right next to me. I envied how he was sleeping soundly and I don’t know why my mind is so filled with so many thoughts that are revolving around him when he is actually just sleeping right here on my side. Even though it was so soft, I still wasn't
5LINDYTo be honest, I didn’t know that being pregnant would be this troublesome. I have this sudden urge for a particular dish at such a weird time of the day. Moreover, I have this sudden feeling of wanting to cry so bad because I really need to eat lasagna but I don’t even like lasagna in the first place. I’m feeling like the need to cry but the reason is so petty that it makes me want to cry for more thinking about it. Brokenhearted, I went back to bed and sat next to Milo. I stared at him for a while and I don’t want to wake him up to disturb him but I am really super hungry and craving.I sighed as I scratched my hair."Milo." I pulled him back and forth gently.He groaned deep in his throat."Baby wake up c'mon." I moved him even harder.I sighed heavily. Damn, why is this guy so hard to wake up?"Milo!!" I screamed.He opened his eyes wide open in an instant and pulled himself up looking puzzled and nervous. He holds me, looking shocked and cute at the same time with his hoo
6LINDY“Good morning my love!” I greeted him as he was still laying down and sleeping.Snoring and sleeping.“Time to wake up, babe.” I tried again.No answer but just snoring.“Milo Beckett to get up!”I leaned forward close to him, pinched his nose while messing up his hair at the same time as I find it adorable seeing him. I can’t believe he still is not waking up after I pinched his nose. He still did not move so I continued pinching his cheeks and made a flabby sound which makes me spurt into laughter. I continued pinching his cheeks as I was laughing and tried to press my palms against his cheeks and just moved them in circles. I was definitely enjoying what I was doing because he was still fast asleep. Instantly, I laugh softly as I watch his lips pout while I kept moving my palms against his skin. Still, he isn’t moving and still no chance of waking up from his sleep.Unbelievable.Unbelie--All of a sudden, I was cut off from what I was going to say as he unexpectedly grabb
